Satellite Pro P100 PSPAHE: How can I replace the HARD drive

I have not found any documentation about the replacement of the engine on my Satellite Pro 100 PSPAHE.
How can I physically remove the disk?
And my Device Manager indicates that the drive is a Fujtsu MHV2200BT PL ATA. What, PL, sounds like parallel - I thought it was a SATA drive.

Hello

This laptop was equipped certainly SATA HDD :)
If you want to upgrade to a larger HARD drive and a SATA HDD is right!

The slot in the HARD drive seems to be placed at the bottom of the unit near the edge of the laptop.
To remove the disc HARD turn the computer upside down.
Loosen the 2 screws and remove the cover of the HARD drive during the liberation of the locks.
Remove the HARD drive cable connector HARD drive. Be sure to not reach
damage to the connector. Place the mounting of the HARD drive on a flat surface and remove the 4 screws.
Then drive HARD is free one may be replaced by a new one.

  • Qosmio X 500 - 10W - can I replace the HARD drive with another?

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio X 500 - 10W with two drive HARD Toshiba MK5055GSX 500 GB 5400 RPM 8 MB? SATA II but is one of the hs so I'm wondering if I can be replaced by a more powerful style, drive HARD 750 GB 7200 RPM / min 16 MB Toshiba courses?

    Thank you

    Hey,.

    Your question is a bit hard to understand, but I think you want to replace the HARD drive with another (faster) model, right?

    Well, that s no problem. 7200 RPM hard drives works, they are a little stronger, but they're faster so if you need more performance without problem.
    750 GB or more are also no problem because the SATA interface is not the limited capacity. Theoretically 1 TB or more should also work.

    Anyway, you can buy the 750Go you mentioned that it will work. :)

  • Can I replace the hard drive of my Satellite A100?

    I have a Satellite A100 - 033 PSAANE, running Windows Vista Home Basic Edition. The hard drive is 60 g. I save almost all of my data to an external hard drive, but nevertheless hard drive eventually won't have enough space for the growing number of programs that I have installed various temporary files, etc.. For example, I would like to install VirtualBox and run XP (Ido have a copy), and Linux and perhaps a few other systems operating within it, but that is likely to consume more of hard drive space I have available.

    Anyone know if it is possible to get out of my existing hard drive and replace it with another of higher capacity? Is this possible?

    I need to reinstall Vista on the new disc, from the emergency disk that came with the PC. I don't mind this, but will be Windows Vista "recognized" when I try to install the new hard disk?

    Sorry if these questions seem naïve, but I don't know how to put a new hard drive in a laptop computer, or even if it is possible. I bought the Toshiba in February 2007, which was just after Vista had been released. I had not given the choice of XP: Vista was the only Toshiba operating system provide at this time. I was assured that a 60G hard drive would be perfect for Vista, but I have to tell you that, in my opinion, that I was wrongly advised, and that Toshiba should never have released a 60G machine for use with Vista. Where my wish to have a hard drive with a larger capacity.

    Yes, you can install a larger capacity HARD drive. In my view, the A100 can take any size SATA 2.5 "HDD, so you should be able to successfully install a 250 GB or 320 GB.

    In terms of Windows, you can reinstall using the Toshiba Recovery disk came with the laptop.

    Directions for use:

    Remove the screws from the cover of the HARD drive based on the laptop to access the HARD disk.
    Pull the HARD drive out
    Transfer media cradle of HARD drive to the new HARD disk
    Slide in the new HARD drive and screw the cover of the HARD drive.
    Turn on the laptop and press F12 to access the start menu.
    Insert your recovery disk and choose CD icon to boot from it.
    Follow the prompts to install Windows.
    Connect your original HDD to the A100 using a USB adapter to restore your files/documents.

    PS. Don't forget to back up your important files regularly. HARD drives can fail at any time, since they have delicate moving parts, even when new.

  • Satellite L300D - 24 d how can I update the graphics driver?

    Hello

    How can I update the driver for my ATI Radeon 3100 graphics card. (Win Vista 32 bit)
    I download and installed the new ATI Catalyst worms. 10.12.

    If I change my graphics card options, there is always the old driver installed... Worms. 22.04.08 8.479.0.0
    Also, it is not possible to change the settings for graphic resolution higher than 1280 X 800 Pix.

    Thanks for the help,

    Fun1975

    First, you must use the page to Toshiba display driver.
    The use of other drivers can lead to highest GPU temperature and cause overheating.

    But if you want to use other drivers, you can do so at you own risk.
    In order to install another driver, go to Device Manager, mark the graphics card, then press on uninstall button.
    Then the driver should be uninstalled.

    After you restart the laptop, you can try to install the new version.

    > It is also not possible to change the settings for graphic resolution higher than 1280 X 800 Pix.
    The internal screen for laptop supports 1280 x 800 high resolution. It is not possible to choose a higher value.

  • Satellite Pro A40: Is it possible to format the HARD drive without disk

    I am passing on a Satellite Pro A40 to a brother. It is in very good condition, but has slowed down over the years. I want to get rid of my data (I have on a new machine) and speed up the system by formatting the hard drive.

    The machine didn't come with a disc for Windows XP, or a recovery CD (just a CD "tools and utilities"). I'm sure the drive HARD will be partitioned, and I can format the drive without such a disc.

    If this is true, how should I do?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    I can't believe that you do not have recovery media.
    The laptop must be supplied with recovery CD, Tools & Utilities CD, and WinDVD.

    But back to your question;
    If you insert a new HARD disk, you will need to use the Toshiba Recovery CD or the original CD of Microsoft Windows to install the operating system.
    The new drive is not partitioned HARD and doesn't have any OS pre-installed!

    If you n t have the original CD of Microsoft OS you can contact the service provider allowed in your country and you can order it.

    I hope I could help

    Good bye

  • Can I replace the HARD drive in my Satellite C70D-B-model 00P with a SSD?

    Hello

    My question is in the subject line. If someone has done this, I'd appreciate some advice.

    regards Stuart

    In general, Yes, you do, but the problem is that your model of laptop doesn't have any coverage of HARD drive in the lower corner.
    To have full access to the HARD disk inside the protection must be removed completely, but it should be done by the only authorized service.

    Of course, you can try to do it alone but I'm afraid, you may lose the guarantee of m.
    If possible, contact the nearest service provider for Toshiba in your country, explain the situation and ask for help.

  • How can I find the hard drive in my Acer Aspire 10.1 switch keyboard docking station?

    My Acer Aspire 10.1 switch was sold with an additional 500 GB HDD in the keyboard. But the drive only extra hard (except C :) I can find in Explorer's "recovery (D :) ", but this is ony 32 GB, but it goes away when I remove the keyboard, so it is in the keyboard. At the start of the computer there is certainly a hard drive of sound from the keyboard, so there is something in there. OS is Win 8.1.

    the 500 GB HARD drive is on the keyboard, so if you disconnect Switch10, you lose the remote storage.

    Logo of the Windows key + x

    Click on disk management
