The maximum size of HARD drive the BIOS sees in Satellite Pro 4200 and 4300 series systems

• What is the difference between the Satellite Pro 4200 and 4300 series?

  As mentioned in another thread, I have a SP4220XCDT that died on me.

  I bought a mobo on ebay which was a 4290 and today it happened, but the problem was that there was an apparently fixed CPU, which stands out much less of the Council than that of the Board of Directors 4220 and therefore does not connect with my 4220 cooling mechanism.

  At least something comes on when I start now, but unfortunately he has passed the Toshiba screen that tells you to press F2 for boot sequence.

  Having also spent money on a new CPU and memory, I don't want it let go and I've seen a motherboard available suitable for a 4320/40/60 - does anyone know if it will agree with the rest of my 4220? It doesn't have a cpu so presumably will have the same mechanism as the motherboard 4220.

  I'm assuming that these may be compatible since I managed to find a pdf of a service manual that covers both the 4200 and 4300, although unfortunately the first page is missing, so I don't ' know if that highlights any differences.

  It's frustrating that there's no PDF for these older models, at least with the plug on them, and it is very difficult to find info.

  As usual, thanks for any help!

  Hello

  As far as I know the two series using the Intel Mobile Pentium III with MMX microprocessor? Technology.

  I discovered these details:

  Satellite 4260 series: Mobile Pentium III 450 MHz
  4270 satellite series: Intel Mobile Celeron 500 MHz
  Satellite 4280 series: Mobile Pentium III 500 MHz

  Satellite 4320 series: Mobile Pentium III 600 MHz with Intel SpeedStep technology
  Satellite 4340 series: Mobile Pentium III 650 MHz with Intel SpeedStep technology

  Portable measures should be also the same. So in my opinion, it should be possible to use the same motherboard for Satellite Pro 4200 and 4300.

• Floppy disk drives for Satellite Pro 4200 and 4300 series

  I have four portable Satellite Pro - a 4340, a 4310, a 4270 and a 4280 and I have trouble getting the 4310 and 4270 to recognize a particular floppy drive. My understanding is that Mitsumi D353G FDDs were consistent with these laptops 4200 and 4300 series but I can't get the 4270 and the 4310 for «see» They will all be two however 'see' an FDD alternative I - a Pansonic JU-226A202FC, but I only have one of them and two laptops needing a floppy drive replacement. I tried a D353G I know (from my 4280) works in the 4310 and the 4270 but nothing helped. I'm keeping an eye on for an another Pansonic JU - 226A202FC FDD on ebay but no luck so far. It's frustrating because I don't know a FDD D353G expected to operate in the 4270 4310 and I have two spare ones that I wanted to use. I looked in TSETUP.exe and you can see no settings that I can change to make these laptops see floppy D353G so any help or insight greatly appreciated readers. Someone there a 4270 a 4310 runs successfully a floppy D353G drive or is this a quirk and these two particular models were made only to work with a Pansonic JU-226A202FC floppy drive not D353G disk drives? Clues?

  Hello

  Unfortunately, I am not a technician but I guess that there is clearly a problem with compatibility. It is possible that the assignment of pins is different and you cannot use them. If you want to have a precise explanation, you should contact technicians. I'm sure they have diagrams of the motherboard and can give you a good explanation and Tips how to handle this problem.

  Good luck!

• Where is the location of the bios on a Satellite Pro 4200 battery?

  I need to change the battery of the BIOS on my laptop satellite. Could someone point me to the correct location on the computer of the battery.
  Thanx

  It is not the problem to say where is the CMOS battery location but do you really want to disassemble this laptop on your own and without maintenance manuals?

  In any case, you must remove top of keyboard and coverage. If I remember well the CMOS battery is placed on the left side of the mouse buttons.

  Remember that you must use exactly the same CMOS battery. Use of incorrect batteries may ends with the explosion of the battery.

• What is the maximum size of hard drive, which can be installed in a pavilion d4790y desktop computer?

  What is the maximum size of hard drive, which can be installed in a desktop pavilion d4790y?

  It would be a secondary drive, not the boot drive.

  The operating system is Vista Home Premium, 32-bit.  The version of the BIOS is 5.08.

  Are there any changes or upgrades that would allow an internal hard drive 3 TB to install?

  Here are the specifications and configurable options for your desktop HP Pavilion d4790y and here are the specifications of its card mother P5BW - THE (Basswood2). Based on the specifications and the age of the computer, I would expect you to use a hard drive 3 TB as a secondary drive on Windows Vista (DISPLACEMENT SP1 or SP2) and Windows 7. Formatted as MBR would require the drive to use with a minimum of two partitions. Formatted as GPT would require only a single partition. In no case will you be able to use the 3 TB as a boot device drive because your computer does not support a UEFI BIOS that allows booting from a GPT formatted disk. No changes or updated should be held.

• Equium L20-197 - what is the maximum size of HARD drive

  Hi all

  I recently bought an Equium L20-197 and I thought to install a larger HARD drive.
  I wanted to know what the maximum size of HARD drive that can be installed on an Equium L20-197 (I guess it's 120 GB, as it is on the L20-187 but I'm not 100% sure)

  I have also been seaching for the IDE drives and found a list of sites who have PATA, ATA100 etc. are also the IDE drives? (I checked the wiki and articles all point Yes, but a little more confirmation would not hurt)

  I was also wondering if the HARD drive I install must be brand toshiba (or if it even makes a difference).

  Thanking you in advance for any help you can provide.
  K

  Hello

  Equium L20 is very similar to the Satellite L20.
  Search here in the forum for similar issues. If you want to use the advanced search option, you will find a few useful headings.

  I know, it's that you can use the 40 GB, 60 GB, 80 GB and 100 GB 2.5 IDE HARD drive supporting the UDMA100

• Vostro 420 maximum size of hard drive upgrade?

  What is the maximum size of hard drive upgrade that works with the Vostro 420?

  FYI: I am considering adding a Western Digital Caviar Black WD2002FAEX 2 to 7200 tr / MIN 64 MB Cache SATA 6.0 GB/s 3.5 "internal hard drive
  (The 6.0 GB/s should adjust downwards to the Vostro 420 3.0 Gb/s, it's the limitations of maximum size, I need.)

  Thank you

• PowerEdge 2970 Service Tag: NOTES from the ADMIN: maintain the label removed by privacy policy > issue of maximum size of HARD drive

  This server gave to us (a non-profit). I it upward and the work, but we need to order some new HARD drives for it. I downloaded all manuals and any other information that I could find. It seems that I have seen that there is a maximum size of 1 TB, but I can't find that.

  Can you point me in the right direction?

  Thank you, Alan

  2 TB is the largest disk will take care of any of the "RAID" controllers for this server. Mode no RAID, I heard that the SAS 6/iR will support larger disks. Away office/computer laptop/NAS discs and stick to the readers of enterprise class if you are using a PERC.

• Y at - it a maximum size of HARD drive internal to a Satellite Pro A120

  Is there a maximum size of disk HARD internally for a Satellite Pro A120?
  I tried a 320 HDD int Tosh and had problems with continuous boot.

  I have the BIOS update (March 08)

  > Is there a maximum size of disk HARD internally for a Satellite Pro A120
  Yes, I think so.
  The BIOS doesn't support all sizes of HARD drive!

  In my opinion, teething problems are associated with the large size of HARD drive and advise to use a smaller HARD drive.

• Satellite Pro 4200: Which is a maximum size of HARD drive?

  Hello, please help. I have a satellite Pro 4200 with a dead hard drive. I can't get a 10 GB hd anywhere. I can only find 30 and more. Does anyone know the size max HD which can be installed in this system? send me an email: [email protected].
  Thank you.

  Hello Jose

  Unfortunately there is no public document on this subject. I'm sure that 20 GB HDD will work correctly. If you want to try to call service partner and ask them. They must have this information.

  By the way: as far as I know Toshiba doesn't support the hardware upgrade. This is supported by authorized service partners or independent equipment parts supplier.

• What is the maximum size of HARD drive, I use in my dc7600 CMT

  I use a HP dc7600 CMT, which works well after the upgrade to a Samsung 128 GB SSD Intel Pentium D 3.4 GHz, 4 GB of RAM and an AMD Radeon HD 6450. I'm under Win 8.1 Pro x 64, with the most recent upgrade and have absolutely no problem. Now, I want to add a second internal HDD and I wonder what is the maximum size that I can go to. I can't go up to 2 TB, or am I limited to a lower number? 1 TB? 500 GB? 250 GB?

  Will be happy to help here, especially if he actually tried to apply in practice.

  Thanks in advance.

  Best regards

  Hello:

  In theory, you'd be limited to 2 TB.

  The biggest HARD drive I have ever installed in my dc7600 CMT was a 1 TB of HDD, so I can't confirm that a 2 TB drive will absolutely work.

• Portege R100: Question on the maximum size of HARD drive

  Hello

  I understand the internal player on the R100 is an ATA5 (Enhanced IDE), I've only used the IBM (now HGST) readers, they do a decent-sized on ATA6 disc, I guess, it will take the player that will support ATA5 as the controller on the R100 is ATA5 only.

  As for the size, what is the maximum size can I ride in this unit?

  The orginal is 5.4 width x depth x 7.9 height 8 mm. Can I assume all 1.8 inch drive will fot or is it a mine field?

  Thank you very much
  Ashley

  Hello

  AFAIK the R100 was delivered with a 30GB and 40GB HDD.
  I found an info that the hard drives are compatible:

  HDD1422: Width (mm) 54.0; Height (mm) 5.0 0.15; Depth (mm) 78.5 0.3
  MK2003GAH: Width: 54.0, height: 8.0, depth: 78.5
  HDD1384: Width: 54.0 0.2, height: 8.0 0.15, depth: 78.5 0.3
  HDD1524: Width: 54.0 0.2, height: 8.0 0.15, depth: 78.5 0.3

• Satellite 2400-103 - what is the maximum size of HARD drive?

  Hi all.
  New here.

  Nobody knows what the maximum hard disk size is for a Satellite 2400-103? This laptop has a 30GB HARD drive which is complete at the moment and I'm moving to a 160 GB unit.

  Used software - DiskCopy - clone Moose 30 GB of cloning to the new 160 GB drive. This creates a partition on the disk that is the same size as the original (about 28GB). If the new hard drive is installed on the laptop at this point, the laptop will be start OK. If I use a partition manager - Partition Magic - to resize the partition to the size of the new disc (about 150 GB) then the laptop does not start.

  Would it because there is a limit on the size of the hard disk supported by this laptop?
  If so, what is the limit?

  Thank you and best regards.

  Mike

  Hello!

  Satellite 2400 is very old notebook, so I think it has a limitation of LBA 28 bits. This means that you can only use up to 128 GB of free space so the maximum capacity of the disc HARD would be 120 GB. So I think that's the reason why the computer laptop can-t start successfully with the 160 GB model.

  In your case I bring back the 160 GB model to the computer store and ask one another 120 GB one. It should work normally

• Satellite Pro 4600 - what is the maximum size of HARD drive?

  My age Satellite Pro 4600 has a 20 GB HARD drive. These are now very difficult to obtain, does anyone know if superior capacy HDDs can be used and, if so, what is the maximum size of the HARD drive.

  (Despite his age that I always use the Satellite Pro for some jobs).

  Hello John

  Satellite Pro 4600 is old enough for laptop and it is not easy to find the exact info. The fact is that this laptop comes with 10 and 20 GB hard drives.
  My opinion is that you can use 30 or even 40 GB HDD. I think that 30 GB new HARD drive should be enough for your some jobs.

  What do you think?

• Satellite L40 - what is the maximum size of HARD drive?

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L40, model number PSL4CL - 001 with 80 GB HDD (SATA) 00C. I need to buy a new bigger hard drive, but I don't know the maximum size that I can use my laptop?

  Can I get a new one with 500 GB or I shouldn't buy one more 250 or 320 GB?

  Hello

  Theoretically, you can buy each HARD drive you want. Your laptop is equipped with a SATA interface for HARD disk and there is no limit of capacity as on the old IDE interface. So, a 500 GB model should work correctly on your laptop.

  If you buy a new one make sure that it s a portable 2.5 HARD drive with SATA interface. All that s! :)

  I hope I could help a bit.

  Good bye
