Update hard disk for Tecra 8000 PII

I installed a new HD in my Tecra 8000 PII. Old pn:21 L 9540. According to the specs, I received pn:MK4021GAS can be installed in the seat of doensn t of BIOS Tecra 8000.The the new HD. I did a BIOS upgrade to version 9,31 with no result.
Is there a solution to my problem?

Kind regards

Hello

I don't know but, I am very pessimistic, you have every chance of casting more than 8 GB HDD to your laptop because there are BIOS HARD disk size restrictions! If the latest version of the BIOS does not support the new HDD it appears impossible to run!

Can you please send a link where is possible to read the specifications of this 40 GB HARD drive.

    Hello
    Contact the Service partner and ask them what cable you need exactly. It is an old machine and FDD need some wider connector. Also check eBay. Maybe you can find a low price for Tecra 8000 FDD.

  • Update hard disk for Satellite 1900 102

    Hi all

    I used to work with a Toshiba Satellite 1900 102 since July 2002 and March my hard drive has stopped working (maybe it was time).
    Where can I buy records 2.5 "that this series of satellites can be supported?

    What is the maximum capacity (in GB) laptop that recognizes the old man?

    Thanks for all your help!

    Hello

    2.5 hard drives can be bought anywhere I think then, either you contact an authorized service provider or you visit your favorite computer store.

    I think that the Satellite 1900 limits the 28-bit LBA. This would mean that the size of the HARD disk is limited to 128 GB. The maximum capacity is 120 GB that you can use, but I think that 80 GB would be enough according to your amount of files you want to save on the HARD drive.

    If you have any other questions please let us know! :)

  • Memory config for Tecra 8000 PIII/500

    Can someone clarify this for me - I guess that the memory config for it would be the same as for a PC. Can I mix and match modules memory too long that I do not exceed the maximum of 256 MB. Apart from the conflict, a 133 MHz module would just run at the 100 MHz FSB speed.

    So I could add a module of 128 MB 100 MHz for the standard 64 MB DIMM equipping the Tecra 8000 do 192 Mb or a single 256 MB 100 MHz module... OR 2 x 128 MB...

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    as far as I know the Tecra 8000 has no FSB 100 speed!

    So pay attention to your turn to mixture.

    There are a few Tecra 8000 who BusTyp: 66 MHz Front Side Bus (1.6 volts).

    Good bye

  • Update hard disk for Satellite LT55-1NM

    Hello

    My hard drive from Toshiba Satellite LT55-1NM died (he was a 640 GB)

    I want to take the oportunuty to upgrade a higher capacity drive,

    Are up to are my options? Type of disc? Max capacity etc.

    Thanks in advance!

    Atlantico

    What you need is the new SATA HDD. You can of course buy HARD drive with more capacity.
    In any case, I think you should maybe buy SSD and increase the performance of your laptop. I upgraded my Satellite phone with SSD and it runs much faster than before. I don't know if the capacity is so important to you, but I think the 500GB SSD would be the right solution for you.

  • Update hard disk for Satellite 1000 z2

    I learned that I can only spend my hard drive Satellite 1000 to 20 GB. Please anyone know if that is correct? The laptop has a 6 GB at the moment.
    Thank you.

    Hello

    I found the information that your device supports 15 GB of HARD drive. Maybe it's the official statement from Toshiba, but that you will be lucky with 20 GB of HARD drive. Try it!

  • Beginner looking for the best upgrade memory for Tecra 8000

    Hello - I am currently looking to upgrade the memory on my Tecra 8000 the current 96 of at least 256.

    Is it possible that I can't find info on 256 MB extensions that are compatible

    I also want to upgrade my hard drive of at least 20 Gb, but I think it will be easier

    Any advice would be much appreciated

    Hello

    In my opinion, you should contact the Service partner and ask them what a memory module is compatible with your laptop. I found that PC100 128 MB (PA3005U) is certainly usable for Tecra 8000.

    Please be careful because all modules may not be recognized by BIOS correctly.

    It is possible that 256 MB RAM PA3069U - 1 M 25 is compatible but I'm not sure about this. Pick up information by the Service partner before buy you one.

  • I'm using Time Machine (1 TB), works very well, but because full starting to delete previous backups. Can I add another (LaCie 1 TB) HARD disk for backups? If so, how to proceed. Thank you!

    I'm using Time Machine (1 TB), works very well, but because full starting to delete previous backups. Can I add another (LaCie 1 TB) HARD disk for backups? If so, how to proceed. Thank you!

    You can add another drive to accept backups Time Machine... assuming it is correctly formatted for Mac to Mac OS extended (journaled), but things are not exactly "continue."

    You have not indicated if you intend to add the player to the USB port on the Time Capsule, or connect directly to your computer using USB or FireWire connections. Or the other method works, with the option to connect directly to the computer being the faster connection.

    Once the disc is added, you would go in Time Machine preferences (click the "clock" at the top of the screen on your Mac) to add the disk for Time Machine backups and delete the old Time Capsule disk, since backups will go is no longer this destination.

    Since you have a new drive, Time Machine will do a new full backup of your Mac and then go forward with incremental backups.

  • Workstation 8 Shared VMs on different hard disks for autostart

    Hi people:

    Is anyway to take advantage of the feature work station 8 sharing VMs autostart with the start-up of the host OS, but have several virtual machines on different hard drives? Ideally, I would like to have VMs on separate hard disks for performance problems. \

    I really don't want to go on the road of ESXi right now. Is it possible to "autostart" other than via the shared "VMs" component of VMware workstation VMs 8? I think this would be a trivial feature to add to the workstation 8 and would make great useful for young kids like me.

  • Updating BIOS for Tecra 8000 without floppy

    I searched this forum a solution update the BIOS without a floppy drive. The only one i found was this thread [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=66966&tstart=0], but there is no file .iso for the tecra 8000 series.
    is there a solution to get the new bios installed on my tecra 8000 without any floppy drive?

    I checked Toshiba BIOS download page on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_bios.jsp and TRAD BIOS version is proposed. This old Tecra is maybe 10 years and now, Toshiba has offered traditional update the BIOS only.

    Win versions are later available with latest Tecra 9000/9100.
    I'm sorry.

    Maybe stupid question now, but why do you need the BIOS update?

  • Update disk for Tecra A8

    Hello

    In my laptop model 014, common Tecra A8 # PTA83L - 02K HDD is Fujitsu 60 GB SATA (mode # MHV2060BH).
    I want to upgrade to 320/500 GB.

    Please suggest a replacement HARD drive.
    I can not know what HARD drive I need to purchase.

    Kind regards
    kannit

    Hello

    You can use any SATA 2.5 HARD disk since the SATA controller is not limited to a specific size of the drive HARD 250 GB or 500 GB even shouldn't be a big problem

    and cloning a HARD drive should also be possible.

  • Upgrade RAM and disk on Tecra 8000

    I have a toshiba tecra 8000 p2 266 mhz, 64 MB, 6 GB HD.

    My question is I want to upgrade the ram and hard drive. can someone tell me what is the maximum I can put in my laptop. IM aiming for a 256 RAM and 40 GB HARD drive... I want to upgrade the processor, but I don't think it would be possible. If Yes please let me know what is the maximum.

    Thank you guys

    Hello

    I found information that your device can handle with max 256 MB and compatible module unit Pentium II are:
    PA2060U 32 MB
    PA2061U 64 MB
    PA2062U 128 MB

    For user who have the Pentium III unit I'll also post this compatible module are:
    PC100 128 MB (PA3005U)
    PC100 64 MB (PA3004U)
    PC100 32 MB (PA3003U)

    HARD drive upgrade is always a little more problematic because of the maximum capacity that will be recognized correctly, but I assume you can use up to 20 GB of HARD disk without problem.
    Sorry, but I didn? t find accurate information about it.

    Good bye

    Have you tried to get into the BIOS?
    Check it out.
    But usually after the update laptop BIOS should properly work and boots.
    Have you followed the instructions on the BIOS update on the page of Toshiba?
    Maybe you did something wrong and the motherboard is damaged.

  • HARD on my Tecra 8000 P11 drive failure

    Hello

    I hope someone can help,
    I have an old tecra 8000 P11 and the HARD drive failed, I tried re starting from the cd but says disc hard is not recognized or does not. any ideas?
    Can someone point me in the direction of a compatible HARD drive replacement or original.

    Thank you

    Chrisp

    Hello

    This is an older unit and it is not easy to give you accurate information but I found one that can be useful for you. Obviously, Tecra 8000 comes with different HARD drive capacities and the largest is 14FR. I don? t know which one you have now, but you should not use the HARD drive with too much capacity because it won't be recognized without doubt. I recommend you check eBay because there you can buy an and it won't cost much.

  • How to change or remove a password hard disk on Tecra M9

    Hi, I have a Tecra M9. I put a password for hard drive just to try. Now I want to remove or change. I have the hard drive password. PC ask me psw hard drive each time you start. What is the procedure to remove or change? Toshiba Assist cannot give me any option to change it. Can someone help me? Thank you and sorry for my English...

    The HARD drive password can be removed by using security help.

    Using the BIOS SETUP, tab of the HARD drive password section which should appear as follows:
    HARD drive password
    HARD = built-in HARD disk drive
    HARD drive password mode = USER only
    Registered = user password

    In the field "User password" tab and just enter the old password and then a new twice (once to check) as you normally would.
    If you don't want a password, simply press "enter" twice

    That's all...
