• Satellite M40x-112 - need advice on upgrade HARD disk

  Hello

  I have a Satellite M40x-112, it is almost 3 years and the hard drive (TOSHIBA MK8025GAS ATA) has problems, I need to change it, but I don't know a lot of this so I ask for help and advice on which hard drive should I buy for this laptop.

  I searched and read, but I still don't understand... In my view, there are many interfaces like PATA, SATA, ATA, then I saw ATA-2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 also Ultra-ATA/100, EIDE, IDE etc etc... so I'm really confused...

  What interface using my laptop? What interface to use the new hard disk?

  And what hard drive 2.5 "is good? You will find a large number of companies, which is the best hard drives for laptops?
  My current hard drive is fat 80 GB. I would switch to 160 or 250, this guy do you recommend?

  Thank you all very much for your help,

  I understand that very well the different titles of interface HARD drive confused most people me too in the past ;)

  Then I would try to clarify some things;
  There are two important differences between the interfaces of HDD; IDE (ATA, PATA and also known as EIDE) and SATA (SATA).

  ATA - 5, Ultra ATA/66 means Ultra DMA 3, 4 (44.4, 66.7) means UDMA/66
  ATA - 6 means that ultra ATA/100 that means UDMA 5 (100) means UDMA/100
  ATA - 7, Ultra-ATA/133 means that UDMA 6 (133) means UDMA/133

  and so now ;)

  Your laptop supports the drive HARD IDE (ATA-6) Enhanced interface and you must use the IDE HDD (NOT of SATA)

  I'm not sure on the size HARD disk max because Toshiba doesn't provide official information on the max supported drives hard but a 100 GB maybe 120 GB of HARD drive might be possible.

  Best regards

• How can I reinstall Windows XP? I don't have my OEM of Windows ME records. I don't have my Windows XP to upgrade the disks I got the OEM. It was a free upgrade to Windows XP with my purchase of the computer with Windows Millennium Edition.

  I'm sorry, but you will need a Windows 9 x / ME drive to provide during the XP installation from the XP disc is a version upgrade. There is no way around that. See if you can find a friend with an older operating system disk (not a recovery disk) to support qualification. Otherwise, you would need to buy the full version (not upgrade) of XP to install on the computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Use the HP upgrade wizard disk?

  Have seen a few posts that it is better NOT to use the HP upgrade wizard disk. Have seen the messages the disck Upgrade Wizard disables some programs/features and all the necessary drivers are available on the HP site.  Instead, we should just update directly from the Windows 7 disc.  Should you use the upgrade wizard disk?

  ewrayjr,

  The upgrade wizard will uninstall some programs that are not compatible with Windows 7 and the replacement by versions of Windows 7 compatible, for example Norton Internet Security.  It will contain also most (if not all) of the drivers that you will need for your PC.

  The upgrade wizard is highly recommended for a smooth upgrade process.

• Satellite M40X-189 - replace HARD disk - what size should I go to?

  Hi, I have a SATELLITE M40X-189, I would like to replace the hard drive and would like if possible some recommendations!
  I know I need an ide/pata and I currently have a hard disk of 40 GB hitachi 5400 rpm installed. The memory is just what came installed originally, (512 MB, no upgrade).

  So what size I can up to?
  I have a lot of music/photos and video to change so must also size decent 80 GB would be enough?
  I really don't use it for anything other than that, and also the navigation on the internet. Although I often have a few programs running at the same time which causes problems... freeze, (in particular I tunes) and generally slow running.

  I'm confident on the physical replacement, and I know how to clone my old drive hard etc, but just need some info about the size and speed and if possible
  a recommendation of the manufacturer. Just worried about incompatibility really issues.

  Also, if you think I should install more memory, which size and make and model may recommend.

  Thank you in advance!

  Denise.

  Hi mate

  First he must know that this question have been posted a lot of time in the forum.
  If you want to use the search option, then you will find this thread for example:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=68287

  Is the M40X series supports the IDE controller and I think that you need a 2.5 IDE HDD.
  The old ide controllers are limited to 128 GB with 28-bit LBA
  However, you can take an 80 GB or 120 GB HARD drive and it should work fine

• Upgrade of RAM for satellite M40X-189

  Hello

  I think the upgrade from my memory of the laptop.

  I wonder if I can use Kingston KTD-INSP5150 / 1 G instead of KTT3311/1 G? They are all two PC2700 200-pin DDR SODIMM 333 MHZ but KTD-INSP5150 / 1 G is mainly used for other laptops.

  Someone sell KTD-INSP5150 / 1 G on good price reasonable but do not know if it is compatible?

  Thank you

  Hi momer79,

  Above all Equium M40x can be upgraded to 2 GB of memory. You need to the MMAR DDR SO-DIMM modules with specification PC2700. You can use up to 1 GB in each of the slots.

  Furthermore, I checked the Web of Kingston site because it has Configurator memory. If you are looking for satellite M40x-189, you will get two compatible memory modules:
  KTT3311A/512 (512 MB SO-DIMM)
  KTT3311A / 1 G (1 GB SO DIMM)

  So in your case I would buy one or two of these modules because they seem to be compatible with your computer satellite phone. ;)

• Satellite M40X-230 memory upgrade

  Upgrade memory

  I have a satellite M40X-230, most of the documents indicate that it is expandable up to 2 GB of RAM.
  On the underside there a memory expansion slot which will have a 1 GB SODIMM, giving me a total of 1.5 G bytes of RAM.

  Is it possible to add the other 500 MB. (I'm experimenting with Virtual Machines and data bases)

  In case anyone is interested!

  There is a module in memory of 500MByte located on top of the motherboard. Unfortunately this is mounted internally in the case.
  It is located below and slightly to the right of the center of the keyboard.
  However, the casting of the cover of the laptop cover electronics and so it is not accessible by simply removing the keyboard. the top cover should be thrown which also consists of removing the screen.

  Otherwise, the module is mounted in exactly the same type of socket than under the machine.

• Satellite M40X-189: I want to upgrade the processor?

  Hello

  I have the satellite m40x-189 notebook with Intel Pentium M 730 processor(1.6/2M/533). "I want to improve my CPU with Intel Pentium M780 processor(2.26/2M/533). Is this possible?

  Generally speaking, the situation of CPU upgrade is a little different on laptops. It's not as easy as on the desktop PC.
  The production of temperature and overheating are serious problems.

  But the series of different laptops is shipped with different processors. AFAIK the M40X supports processors:
  Intel Pentium-M Dothan, 1.6GMHz, 1.73GMHz, 1.86 MHz, 2.0GMHz, 2.13GMHz
  and 2.26 MHz.
  Intel Celeron-M Dothan, 1.3GMHz, 1.4GMHz, 1.5 MHz, 1.6GMHz

  The device also supports processors Intel 915 PM/915GM/910GML chipset for system memory controller.

  But you know, nobody's going to give you the guarantee that the laptop will run stable and without any strange behavior.

• Is it possible to upgrade the disk on Tecra M5

  I own Toshiba Tecra M5 running windows XP Pro SP3, still under warranty.

  Is it possible to update the hard disk hard space, currently its just 80 GB (only 70 GB is usable).
  Thank you

  Autour Googling, I found the info that Toshiba Tecra M5 can be improved with follow compatible hard drives:

  100 GB
  Toshiba HDD2D30BZK01
  FUJITSU G8BC00028A10
  HITACHI GST G8BC00029A10

  120 GB

  I can't say for sure, but I think that you can use hard disks with more capacity and it can go up to 200 GB.

• Noise suite of crush the hard drive. Now disk use stays 50% to 100%.

  So my hard drive crashed and made a weird noise. After the restoration of the operating system, use of HARD drive in the Task Manager is 50 to 100%. What should I do? My PC is 500-199 and has no defects on it. Help, please

  Hello

  Since your drive HARD crashed and you need to restore the operating system, try running a disk check.

  You can also perform boot HARD drive Diagnostics. Select "Test using PC HP Diagnostics (UEFI) material" in the HP support document.

  These tests check the system files and the integrity of your HARD drive.

  If all the tests are good try uninstalling and reinstalling each program.

  I don't really know what else could be causing these two programs to act in this way.

• Free HP Win7 upgrade, lost disk and product key, do wat?

  I would like to install the Win7 64 bit I got from HP through its free update of the vista program in 2009 on a new SSD for HP. However, I realized that since my computer came with vista, the product key vista stuck on the side of my computer probably isn't the right pair to install Win7 64-bit.

  Is it possible for me to get the product key for Win7 64 bit HP? Thank you.

  If you have lost the disk key and/or product... There is nothing that HP can do for you. The upgrade was administered by a third party, and it is likely that HP does not have this information.

  If you have an active Windows 7 installation of this drive and key, you will be able to recover the key using a utility that can be found on the internet. Apart from that, really look hard for the disk and key.
