Update on the Satellite P30-133 hard drive

Hello
I own a P133 Satellite with a 80 GB HARD drive and I would like to replace the HARD drive.

1. How do I "safely" take it out?
2. how GB support Satellite
3. likely to be mounted a Toshiba no? 99% of Yes, but sometimes producers are naughty and try to get you to buy what they want and therefore lost a customer!

Can anyone help with these questions?

Thank you

Hello

First a question; You really a P133 Satellite?
This laptop is not known to me and I don t I think this series exists.

I saw your other thread and it seems that you have a Satellite P30. Am I wrong?

OK I'll try to give some info on the P30.

(1) the location of the HARD drive is located at the bottom of the unit. You must turn the computer. Remove the two black screws to release the HARD drive door. Pull the tab to remove the HARD drive unit. Remove the HDD Enclosure HARD drive. Note: after the removal of the portable computer HARD drive you need to remove also the brackets that are piling up on both sides of the HARD drive.

(2) you can use the 2.5 ", 9.5 mm HDD with capacity 30 GB/40 GB/60 GB/80/100 GB / 120 GB. The HARD drive should support the Bus Master IDE and 100 synchronous DMA Ultra

(3) as far as I know you can use HDD from different vendors, but hardware specifications must be supported (see point 2 :)))

  • RAM and the satellite L20-100 HARD drive

    Hello!

    I have an old Satellite L20-100 and it has a few problems with the HARD disk. I want to buy a replacement (new HARD drive) so I need to know what are the types of FDI in L20 - 100 discs...

    In addition, what type of DDR2 RAM I should buy to install in this laptop?

    Don't want to buy a fake, because if I do, it would be very difficult to sell...

    Please, help :)
    Thank you.

    Hello

    I agree with Akuma L20 supports a SATA controller and you need and 2.5 SATA HDD.
    Usually it s no matter which manufacturer is all 2.5 SATA hard drives must be compatible

    With regard to the 48-bit LBA:
    As far as I know that this could be just a problem with HDD IDE (P - ATA). SATA HDD should not be affected. So, theoretically, you could upgrade the HARD disk using larger than 128 GB.

    Regarding the upgrade of memory:
    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=20683&ft=m&St=3

    You need DDR2 533 MHz (PC2-4200) 200 - PIN SODIMM and you can use 2 x 1 GB RAM

  • Satellite P30 141 hard drive stops working

    Hello.

    I am having major problems with my hard drive.
    He was clicking on last week, restarted and it hung and then win xp splash screen.
    I formatted the computer but it has been restarted, and turn off when you try to install a new copy of windows XP.
    I read a little about my error, and it seems that I have a defective hard disk with bad sectors on it.

    I have managed to get win xp on the machine, but at random times the machine is always turn off itself.

    The machine is no longer under warranty and I am now looking to replace the hard drive.

    What type of hard drive I can put in the p30-141. should be a specific model or any generic portable hard drive works in it

    Thanks in advance

    The best solution is to replace the HARD drive with the same model. On this way, you will be sure that everything will be OK. What you need is the HARD disk with interface IDE (ATA-5). Laptops newer come with a SATA interface.

  • Replacement to the satellite Pro A10 hard drive

    By turning on the laptop I get IDE #0 ERROR Inter (R) Boot Agent FE v4.1.09 etc. Insert system disk in drive. I do and nothing happens.

    Is this to say that the hard drive is spent? If yes where can I get a replacement from? How I don't know what to buy?

    Hi Dean

    Well, the ERROR IDE #0 means that the BIOS cannot recognize devices connected to the IDE #0. Above all it s a HARD drive.
    So I presume that you HARD drive is dead and must be replaced.

    You can buy a compatible HARD drive from a computer or a laptop computer reseller. Of course, you can contact your local Toshiba ASP (authorized service provider) and order this HARD drive too.

    Your Pro A10 appears to bear an IDE hard drives.
    Therefore, you might choose an IDE HDD with 20, 30 GB or 40 GB

    I posted only these three sizes because I'm not sure about bigger hard drives.
    Perhaps a larger HARD drive is not recognized by the BIOS.

    See you soon

  • Update on the Satellite P100 (4200 RPM at 5400 RPM) HARD drive

    I had my laptop game Satellite P100-347, abandoned for a while now and want to give it to my little brother. This laptops come with 4200 RPM HARD drive and I would like to know if it is upgraded to a 5400 RPM / MIN 320 GB finally fails the system or am good to start!

    Thank you!

    Unfortunately, there is no public document on update on this model of laptop HARD drive and I can't say for sure but I believe that there should be any problem. If anyone post here own experience about these updates buy the HARD drive and test it.

    If there is a problem, you can send the HARD return drive.
    This info can be useful for other members of the forum. Because of this, please post the upgrade result.

  • This replacement of hard drives are supported by the Satellite P30?

    Hello
    My P30 came with a HARD disk that rotates at 4500 rpm of 80 GB. I really need a floppy that can write and access data fast enough for video editing (rendered) and multi track audio recording.

    Are there alternative products that can improve the performance of my computer? I have already ordered 2 GB of RAM.
    Would a Hitachi Travelstar 7K 100 works with my device?

    I guess you mean the Hitachi Travelstar 7K 100 100 GB drive HARD 7200 RPM 8 MB cache 2, drive HARD 5Zoll.
    I think you can use the HARD disk with the following properties:

    hard drive 9.5 mm with capacity 30 GB/40 GB/60 GB / 80 / 100GB / 120GB
    Bus Master IDE
    Support 100 synchronous DMA Ultra

    Disk HARD 7200prm will produce more heat but perhaps the laptop could handle this. Otherwise you will get some overheating shutdown downs.

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

    I want to switch the HARD disk in my Satellite Pro 4340. I know the 4200 and 4300 SP series can take at least a 20 GB HARD drive that I've already updated a SP4270 and SP4280 drives from 20GB already.

    I did a search on assignments earlier re. Satellite Pro 4200 and computers portable 4300 series as various other contributors of this forum had already asked this question. A respondent suggested that they had installed a 60 GB HARD disk without problem.

    Someone at - it else mounted a big HARD drive (or more even) in these notebooks series 4200 and 4300 and managed to do work OK and had the BIOS to recognize the total size of the HARD drive?

    What is the largest swap HDD that someone did with success on these machines of 4200/4300?

    Unfortunately, you will not be able to find accurate information about it. All you can find are reports from other users. I am really interested about other views.

    By the way: 60 GB HARD drive is not sufficient for you?

  • Satellite 2410 won't see the new 250 GB hard drive

    I am trying to upgrade the Toshiba 30 GB hard drive that came with the unit to a Western Digital Scorpio Blue 250 GB EIDE drive.
    I get out the swap the 30 GB to 250 GB put in a bootable XP SP3 CD version and nothing - no sign that power came to training.
    The CDROM is trying to write files on the hard disk, but nothing happens.

    Same thing happens when I try to use the pack of 3 CD of Toshiba or the Norton Ghost recovery CD.
    The computer does not see the drive. Put the old 30 GB drive and it starts right now.

    My BIOS settings show set up for EIDE and boot from the CDROM. What I'm missing?

    Hello

    It seems that the BIOS does not recognize the new HARD drive, I suppose that it s too big
    Satellite 2410 series is old and I guess that it will not support larger 120 GB HARD drive because of the 28-bit LBA s

    So try with the smallest HARD drive like 80 or 100 GB.

  • Satellite l350-262 HARD drive failed on the first reboot

    Hi guys,.

    I just bought new satellite L350-262 of amazon.co.uk
    It was delivered today so I started to put in place. It started fine, let me regional selection and networking options, and then it restarted and...
    I saw console message saying "a disk read error occurred...". "that indicates a failure of the HARD drive.

    I restarted and went into the BIOS settings and it appears on the first page of the BIOS that he does not see the drive (can recognize the DVD), but on the priority start screen TOSHIBA (and some) against the HARD drive.

    This problem occurred after the first reboot Windows 7 installation is forcing you to do, I didn't have the chance to create backups, and I can't see windows being installed at all, cause I can't do F8-> recovery which I thought to try as well.

    I think return the laptop it does not work, but before that... you have other ideas?

    Is it worth to make diagnosis of disk? Even if it says disk is ok, how I reinstall/install the system preloaded with no disk backup etc.?

    Thank you
    Greg

    > I think return the laptop it does not work, but before that... you have other ideas?
    I'm afraid, if the disk HARD is not recognized in the BIOS, that means HARD drive failure and you will not be able to recover it with the help and recovery disk or using recovery disc HARD m.
    It s really strange that a HARD drive is dead at first, but what looks like a bad luck, this can happen, because it s a machine

    Usually the HARD drive is under warranty as the entire notebook then you can request a hotfix and warranty would cover everything

    "Outdated video driver. Your video card driver is obsolete and might cause problems if you continue to run the game. We strongly recommend that you follow the link below and update your video drivers to the latest version of the driver provider.
