Upgrade satellite 1900-102, hard drive

Hello... My laptop is a toshiba satellite 1900-102 with a 20 GB hard drive. I would like to ask if I can upgrade the hard drive with another model and not the classic toshiba MK * 18GAP. Is it OK to use a hard drive from another provider? I want to use a Hitachi drive, which is less expensive, but it will be compatible?
Thanks in advance!

Don't know anything about Hitachi, but what speaks against an exchange of hard drive?
The most important is the measures of the hard drive.
As for the ability I can just tell you that we have a Satellite of 1900 with 30 concerts running

Good bye

  • Upgrade hard drive satellite 1900 102

    I want to upgrade to the HD of my Satellite 1900 102 because of the original HD 20 GB is small.
    Can what type of HD Toshiba I use? 2.5 "or 1.8" too?
    Toshiba MK1234GAX 2.5 "120GB HD is compatible with my laptop?
    Thank you

    Hello

    Two years ago I had Satellite 1900-703. Beautiful peace of hardware isn t it? On this laptop, you can use HDD 2.5 only. 1.8 HARD disk is used by ultra-thin laptops as some models of the Portege.

    To be honest 120 GB is a little too much for this good old classic and I'm sure that it won't wok. If I'm that much memory my Satellite was delivered with 40 GB. Maybe 60 or even 80 GB HDD can work with this laptop but 120 GB. I'm quite skeptical that it will work.

  • 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! :)

  • XP display for Satellite 1900-102 driver

    Hello

    I'm looking for a display driver for my old Toshiba Satellite 1900 102.

    After Installing Win XP Pro, a generic driver for ATI Mobility Radeon was automatically installed, and it is not working properly.

    Refreshing window is very slow and impossible to manage or configure.

    I'm trying to find it but it seems impossible to me.

    Can someone help me please?

    Thank you.

    Kind regards

    Vito

    Hello

    > Refreshing window is very slow and impossible to manage or configure
    The problem is that a graphics driver has not been installed and the Win operating system uses own common Microsoft driver.

    To resolve this problem, you must install the graphics driver of the European driver Toshiba page.

    To find the page of the European driver follow this path;
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-> support download &-> download drivers

    You have to search the ARCHIVES!

  • Satellite 1900-102 BIOS necessary

    After being hit by a rather nasty virus (long story, but my son went online with the firewall disabled) my bios on my satellite 1900-102 has been damaged and I can't re-boot, also some programs no longer work. Where can I get a download of the Bios for my machine... help!

    Hello

    It s very rare that the BIOS is damaged after the attack of virus.
    But however the BIOS you will find on the Toshiba site.

    Does anyone have a default Toshiba satellite 1900-102 with a card mother work and is willing to sell?

    Or does anyone know where to find that?

    Hi Erdl,

    I think this is the wrong forum to ask questions about buying used and portable defects! I understand toshiba as well as this forum is only for technical user to help!

    In my opinion, you will have more luck at ebay or used equipment selling home pages!

  • Satellite 1900-102 and tv out

    I'm not able to get my tv-out from the satellite 1900-102. I think he's sending NTSC, but I don't know how to change it to PAL.

    Henk

    Hi Henkoo

    There are 2 possible places to fix this.
    The configuration of the BIOS or the videodriver.
    I don't know which is the right one for your model, but the easiest is to first check the BIOS.
    When you feed the machine, you will see a Toshiba logo for almost 2 seconds. While the logo is visible, you can press F2 to enter the BIOS setup and make a turn. If you feel uncertain when to go, please just read the explanatory text and be careful when you press the buttons. Normally you should not be able to do any "harm" to the system when you are.

    If you can't find the PAL/NTSC setting in the BIOS, start your machine and make adjustments in the videodriver.
    Right click on the desktop and choose "settings". From there it is probably pretty simple.

  • Install Windows 7 upgrade on the new hard drive?

    I have the Windows 7 upgrade version that I installed last September, but a few days ago my hard drive died.  How do we install the version 7 upgrade on the new hard drive without using a previous version of windows on it?

    In order to install the Windows 7 upgrade version, you must have a system of eligible operating Windows installed and activated.  You cannot install a version upgrade of Windows 7 on a drive blank.  The installation procedure you do not insert a Windows disk in the drive for verification, eligible operating system must be installed.

    If you do not have a qualification system of operating Windows installed with an activated genuine license, then you can not use the version upgrade of Windows 7 - you would need a license of Windows 7 "full version".

    In summary:

    1. a Windows operating system to eligible address must be installed.
    2. the Windows operating system to eligible address must have a genuine license (product key) and it must be enabled.
    3. to upgrade, boot on the eligible Windows desktop, insert the Windows 7 upgrade disc in the DVD player.
    4. when the menu appears, select custom (advanced option) to a clean install procedure.

    You should be able to repair the installation, if your installation one fall. I suggest create you a System Image (backup) of your installation of Windows 7 after installation of Windows 7 in order to spare you the trouble if your computer one fall in the future.

    You can work around this two ways, I would suggest that you create a System Image (backup) of your installation of Windows 7 after installation of Windows 7 in order to save you the trouble if your computer loses the system failure or instability. Since you are in possession of a valid license of Windows Vista for this computer, you can use the following method to do a clean install with upgrade support:

  • Satellite 1900-102: Question about upgrade hard drive

    I tried for awhile get a new hard drive for my 102 S1900. I think I found one, but don't know if it will fit. The person told me that it fits in a Toshiba but that was all. It's a 80 GB 2.5 "9 mm 4200 RPM IDE laptop hard drive. Will this work in my model? Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    the problem here is not if the HARD drive will fit in the notebook or not (BTW it will be).
    The problem is if the BIOS can recognize hard drives with this ability. And I think that it is not.
    But maybe there is a new version of the BIOS available.
    Sorry I don't have the info to say more clearly.
