What is HD-maximum capacity for Satellite Pro A40?

Hello together,

I got a (PSA45E) Satellite Pro A40 and now I need a new hard drive.
My question is now, what is the maximum capacity for a hd you can plug in and are very by the BIOS?

Thanks in advance.

Doc

Hello

I think this old laptop HARD drive with IDE interface, so I think the upgrade up to 120 GB should be possible. I think that 80 or 100 GB should be enough for this good old classic.

I hope you aren't the guy who wants to have 500 GB. :)

  • Need drivers XP for Satellite Pro A40

    Just do a fresh install of XP on a Satellite Pro A40 of second hand. Various onboard devices are not known (of in XP Device Manager) and I can't go through the process of "Install new hardware" that I don't have the drivers. The devices are mainly the Multimedia Sound Audio Card and the PCI Modem. I don't know what manufacturer made these, as XP ID device as unknown Manager.

    Anyone have any ideas or tips on how I can get the sound and PCI modem to work?

    (I'm not using the laptop for this message, even if it has access to the Internet).

    Thank you

    Looking for XP drivers?

    You can find all the XP drivers on the European driver Toshiba page!

    For the multimedia and Audio sound card, you need to install the audio driver and Modem PCI-> modem driver.

    You will find everything on the page of the driver.

    But note that buddy, there are also a few QFE Ms. This is usual Microsoft patches and fixes that are necessary and essential for the installation of the driver.

    Also check the Microsoft Windows XP SP2 update information. Sometimes the only drivers or utilities must be updated after the installation of service packs for MS!

  • Cannot find drivers for Vista for Satellite Pro A40

    I have the Toshiba Satellite Pro A40.
    I find no drivers for the Vista operating system installed recently, or find a way to report directly to Toshiba.
    Seeking advice.

    Hello

    You can find some Windows 2 k and drivers for the Satellite Pro A40 XP in Toshiba Archive area.

    As you can see this series of mobile could be found in the area of the Archive because it s an old model of laptop. Because this series is a little older Vista drivers are not available and if you want to use the Vista on satellite Pro A40 then you have to collect the Vista drivers at your own hand.

    Good luck

  • What cable lock to buy for Satellite Pro P200?

    I have this laptop: http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/product/Satellite-P200-1K9/145669/

    On the card it says it has a slot for a kensington lock cable, but I can't find the tab compatible options to buy a lock.
    The research generally on the Toshiba site for the cable locks, none of them are listed as being compatible with my particular model.

    Can you help me find the right type it please?

    I'm not 100% sure, but these cables are not designed separately for each laptop brand and you should visit the nearest PC store. I'm sure that you will find this cable here.

    Ask your local Distributor on this subject.

    I think you should get in touch with service partners authorized Toshiba in your country if you want to get some parts of the laptop.
    If the parts are not available, the ASP should be able to order this Toshiba stock head.

    Welcome, ChickenJoe

    You first remove the thin cover above the F1 - F12 buttons.
    The two screws are hidden beneath this thin plastic cover!

    But why don't you check the user manual * Chapter 8 memory

    There should be a detailed how instruction update the modules of memory.

    If you don t have user manual, then you could download it from the homepage of European support from Toshiba!

  • What is the maximum capacity of the disk for Satellite L300-1EI?

    Hello

    I have a portable Sattelite L300 - 1EI Nodel PSLB8E - 05W013H2.
    Currently, I have a hard drive with a capacity of 120G.

    There a lot of bad sectors.
    I would like to know what is the maximum capacity, by that I could replace.

    Thank you

    Unfortunately, you will not be able to find this information. What you can do is to check this forum using the advanced search option in the hope that you find some similar discussions.

    My advice to you is: buy 300 GB HARD drive, and I'm sure that you'll be happy with it.

  • What is the maximum capacity of the disk for Portege M700?

    Does anyone know what is the maximum capacity of disk for Portege M700?

    Thanks for the reply

    As I m wrong not the Portege M700 does support a SATA HDD.
    In this case we must avoid any limitation of the size of the HARD disk
    Usually, you can use almost all SATA 2.5 hard drives in you M700.

  • Satellite A500-1 - What is the maximum capacity of the HARD drive

    Hello

    I have to re - install the factory installed Win 7 on my Satellite A500-1 because I'm not able to install SP1.
    The cause is that inside Win 7 product information is missing.

    With regard to what I like to install a new HARD disk with more capacity (400 gb current).

    What HARD drive I can install and what is the maximum capacity (1 TB, 750 GB)?

    BIOS is updated.

    Any advice is welcome.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    To my knowledge, there is no limitation of the capacity of the HARD disk since the SATA controller is used and the SATA controller should support over 400GB.

  • What is the best compatible microSD and the maximum capacity for a Tablet android Iconia 10 One?

    Could someone tell me what is the best compatible microSD and the maximum capacity for a Tablet android Iconia 10 One?

    Two possibilities: perhaps the message is that your actual RAM is low, which means that you are trying to run applications too at the same time. Closing some should help a lot. The other is more likely, and that is the internal memory which is running low. There is a lot that can be done to help that, but it is especially dependent on what is causing the space to fill. If this is a case of too many installed applications (when applications are installed by default, they are going to the internal storage, the SD card is generally used only for data), one or more of the app that fills with things very with log files or personal always data in memory instead of on the DD of the.

    Check first for the last. Make sure that your photos, videos and music are all on the SD card. If you find tham in the internal memory, move them. Make sure you say the applications that use where is the new location.

    Then find the application specific data when it shouldn't be. Many file managers will do for you, you are looking for by flying over or logfiles extra-large. Parameters; Applications; Application Manager (or similar, names depend a bit on OS version) should allow you to look at each application data and cache. Those compensation where appropriate will free up the space.

    Finally, look at the applications that you have downloaded. Are there any that you do not use? If so, uninstall them. Note that the system and preloaded apps in general cannot be uninstalled, but you can often remove updates and then disable them in order to free some space.

    Storage on a device Android always tends toward the back of his head and gets the older unit the problem seems to be. If I were a type of plot I would suggest that Google is encouraged to keep buying us new machines every two years... None.

  • Maximum RAM and type for Satellite Pro A100

    Hello.

    I have already looked at my manual, but I can't get a definitive answer.

    I went to one of these computers, analysis of Web sites and it claims I have 2 SLOTS where I can put 1 GB DDR II PC2-4200 each (so 2048 MB of ram)
    (es http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Satellite%20Pro%20A100%20Seri) But according to CPU - Z, my laptop contains DDR II PC2-4300 512 MB

    But when I recorded from TOSHIBA Web site and entered the serial number of my cell phone, he told me that I had a Satellite Pro A100-196
    When I searched for Satellite Pro A100-196 on the internet, I came across a website (http://toshiba.icecat.biz/en/p/PSAACE-00E00DG3/Satellite%2520Pro%2520A100-196.htm) that says that 100-196 a module of DDR II (533 mhz) and that it can place additional modules up to 4096 MB (which means I can't that modules of RAM 2 GB each)

    So I would like to know if anyone knows the final RAM MAX (and type), I can place.

    Thank you.

    The Satellite Pro A100-196 appears to bear the 667 Mhz front bus!
    So, you can also use the modules of memory 667 Mhz (533 Mhz is also possible).

    I advise to use SODIMM 200 PIN DDR2 modules; 667 MHz (PC2-5300)

    You can upgrade the memory to 4 GB max. So it is certainly possible to use a 2 GB into a slot!

    Good bye
