Tecra M5: Need support USB2 for SATA HDD

My beautiful new Tecra M5 uses a SATA drive, but most USB enclosures still accept only IDE drives. My question is: does anyone know of a door-USB2 for a SATA drive?

I would like a similar disk box USB2 to backup my Tecra laptop by cloning the full hard drive (using Casper XP). If/when the primary drive fails, or some other calamity, all strikes do I have to do is to replace the internal drive with USB support. (It is not so common, but my hard drive failed once, and the cloned drive saved the day).

Until I can find a SATA support I use Acronis True Image to backup on an IDE drive images in a USB support. Even if it seems effective, I'd rather have a cloned drive because it is easier to make a recovery dummy to prove that the procedure works without risking to damage the data on the primary disk simultaneously.

Hello

As far as I know the external uses the IDE interface.
I have not seen cases of HARD drive external for a SATA HDD.
But you can also use the external USB case with an IDE interface for backups. But you need a new HARD drive. But the HARD drive are not very expensive (depends on the size of the HARD disk)
You can save the backup image to a file and then you can place the file on the external HARD drive.
If something goes wrong with your OS, so you can use the backup file to restore your operating system.

    Hi all.
    I would install XP instead of Vista on my note. As far as I know, XP has no builtin for SATA driver. I found no drivers for GeForce 7300 on the toshiba Web site. So I need drivers for SATA HDD and GeForce 7300. Where can I find them?

    Hello

    Why must you SATA XP drivers? You are not able to install XP because the HARD drive is not visible?

    With regard to the nVidia drivers:
    It seems that the A200 notebooks were shipped with a different hardware configuration.
    Some laptops come with the Intel GPU and some with nVidia graphics card.
    The Intel GPU driver is available on the Toshiba page.

    Graphic driver nVidia can be downloaded from the site Web of Toshiba Canada or 3rd sites like www.omegadrivers.net or www.laptopvideo2go.com

  • Compaq Presario SR1214NX desktop PC: update BIOS for SATA HDD?

    Hi CV Experts.

    In 2004, I bought a HP Compaq Presario SR1214NX desktop PC. Now, leave the original hard drive and I bought a new Seagate 500 GB SATA hard drive. I thought that this would work because the PC MoBo has two SATA connectors. After installation, I noticed the drive is not detected. I checked the BIOS but not hard listed. The installed BIOS is "BIOS Award BIOS Core Version 6.0 revision 3.10 26/07/2004.» What can I do? Is there a BIOS update available?

    Help, please!

    Do more research on this issue, I think that this motherboard may not have native support SATA. You can use ports SATA via Windows after you have installed the necessary drivers. I suggest that you add a primary as hard drive IDE PATA drive and load Windows. Post windows installation, install the necessary SATA drivers and plug the secondary drive SATA for use as a hard disk.

    I'm sorry for all of the early confused communications.

  • Re: Tecra S3 - new 250 gb Sata hdd - windows does not recoginse

    Hi all

    I have a tecra S3-PTS30-E, which came from the company, I work for which was no longer necessary.

    I replaced the current 40 GB with two different - hdd

    Western Digital 250 GB WD2500BPVT

    Toshiba 120 GB - MK1252GSX

    I tried both separately and windows XP pro service pack 3 will not recognize either.

    I have downloaded the driver sata toshiba Web site and installed via F6 at startup, windows asks you what driver, windows 2000 or XP, I click on XP and you enter, windows continues until advising so none found HDD

    I also tried to download drivers intel after searching other threads, and it does not work through floppy.

    I also added the drivers toshiba XP ISO using nlite to create a disk slipstream and while xp is loading the disc, I noticed 'pilot toshiba raid' being installed. Same no result no hard drive found.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you

    > Tecra S3 - new 250 gb Sata hdd - windows does not recoginse

    According to the specifications on this page:

    http://reviews.CNET.com/laptops/Toshiba-Tecra-S3-s411td/1707-3121_7-31556311.html

    Your laptop's Ide interface, as far as I know on the old IDE interface there is a limitation of LBA 28 bits, which means that the laptop can only manage hard disks up to 128 GB.

  • Installation of XP Prof on Tecra A9 PTS52E - SATA HDD is not recognized

    Hi all

    I have a "nine" Tecra A9 (PTS52E) with Vista Business installed. However, I need XP Prof and a CD of XP - SP2 slipstreamed. The SATA drive is not recognized XP installation, so I need a driver of "F6."

    There are a lot of howtos on this for the 945 chipset, but I couldn't solve this problem on my A9 (Mobile 965 Express Chipset). I don't want to buy a USB floppy for one-time-installation drive. So I have to build the driver (iastor.sys and more) in the XP installation disc.

    A few problems: there seems to be no easy way to do this, because intel only provides files *.inf for the ICH8R (RAID =) controller, which does not exist in the A9. So I have to change the *.inf files, correct?

    Another thing: I saw in an another post here the discussion on switching to AHCI in the BIOS in compatibility mode. I can't find a way to change this setting.

    Aargh, I need this laptop for my work on an A8 (which is also mine), I installed XP without any problem.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you

    I need a replacement for a Tecra A6 keyboard.
    Where can I buy one?

    Keyboard, you can buy a Toshiba authorized service provider in your country or order it somewhere online.
    Many new parts, you can also find it on eBay. With a little luck you can find an it.

    Last month I bought a new keyboard for my Satellite M70.

    I don't know where you live you can't Google a bit.
    You will find an online store in your country where you can order the new keyboard for your Tecra.
    For example the UK K000039210 Tecra keyboard
