Re: Need new HDD for Satelloite A40-702

Hiya,
My friend has an old Toshiba A40-702 and the 40GB IDE hard drive has died. The smallest new IDE drive I can buy where I live is 160GB, does anyone know if the laptop will recognise a hard drive of this size? I have searched the web and Toshibas site but not found any definite details as the maximum hard drive size.
Thanks

Hi slippyjim,
I cant imagine that 60GB HDD wouldnt work because the controller has an 28bit LBA limitation that means all HDDs up to 128GB would work and you can use the full disk space.
So 60GB, 80GB or 120GB HDDs should work properly.
Have a look on some online shops. There are a lot of different manufactures they produce such HDDs with IDE interface.

Need new HDD for Satellite L300-1BD

Hey,
the HDD in my Toshiba Satellite laptop isn't working anymore.
So I'm going to buy a new one today but which one do i need? Like how many inch? And is it a SATA connection or something?
Could someone please tell me to what i have to look when I buy a new HDD for this laptop

Hello Vivendi
One thing is strange to me: I presume that your L300 notebook is pretty new one and I don't understand why you want to buy new HDD. Is warranty still valid?
Please check it. If the warranty is still valid contact nearest authorized service provider and I am sure you will get replacement for free.
If you want to buy it I also presume you want to replace it alone. So, remove the old HDD and on the white label you will find all necessary information about HDD.
Anyway, you need 2,5 SATA HDD.

I will be installing Windows 7 Prem 64 bit as I bought a copy so I will need all the drivers from Toshiba.Can anyone please tell me if these have to be installed in any order,or is there a package for Windows 7 seeing as the Laptop used to run Vista and this will be a clean install.

Installing OS on a new HDD for imac with no installed HDD

Hi all
I am looking to buy an iMac 27", but it doesnt come with a HDD
So I wanted to know if I buy a new HDD for it, can I install Mavericks onto it and fit it to the iMac? How would I go about doing this?
I dont have access to another mac but I do have access to a windows machine. Can I do it from there?
Any help appreciated
Thanks

Where are you buying an iMac 27-inch, Late 2009 model that has no internal hard disk drive?
Having to assume it was removed by an original owner, does the computer work? Was it tested by use of an externally enclosed HDD with a correct bootable system installed?
There are various repair and upgrade guides online, several topics among them and several are free to view or use. There likely is an iFixit guide that may cover that vintage of iMac 27-inch build year model.
Not sure which iMac 27-inch model guide applies to your computer,
some appear here http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iMac_Intel
While considering the hard disk drive, be sure that if there are any sensors or special cables required to be in place and attached to a new replacement, they are in place and working; some users of later models found when a hard disk drive was replaced, their fans ran at high and uncontrolled speeds due to lack of sensor input. The default situation was for the computer act as though the unit was overheated. And third party fan control software to set a fan at low slower speeds does not take into account faster speeds are needed to cool iMacs. Yours may not exhibit this issue, but I am not certain either way.
When you get it set up, with HDD and original Snow Leopard installed & updated to 10.6.8, be sure to check to see if there are any hardware or firmware updates. I see there was one listed for your model and it may already be installed...

Hopefully this helps...
Good luck & happy computing!

Problem with new HDD for Imac

I have installed a new HDD on my Imac power PC (!0.4.7) On powering up the disk utility can see the new HDD, but it says it is unmounted and it is not visible in list of volumes available for installing the OS. How can I wake it up?

You need to format it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) in Dick Utility.
You do this by selecting Erase from the options at the top of the window.

Need new notebook for law school.

Hey guy's,
I just started my first year of law school. I want to get my first Mac. I'm a bit conflicted about whether I should get a Macbook Air or a Pro.
Portability is essential to me, my iPad just isn't cutting it anymore. A CD-Drive isn't essential to me, I could buy the superdrive if I need it, and the smaller HDD capacity isn't an issue either cause i'm planning on buying an external HDD also. All of these factors point me towards a Macbook Air but what worries me about the Air is that once I buy it I can't upgrade it later on, and this computer has to last me for at the very least the next 4 to 5 years.
Main reason I want a Mac is because, almost everyone in my class has one, they're good looking devices, like I said I love my iPad and my iPhone. Lol! All jokes aside, I mainly want a Mac because my neighbor has had his Macbook Pro for the last 5 years and the only problem he's had with it is he had to buy a new battery for it. Clearly Mac's are built to last, but that's a Pro I don't know how long Air's last. Also even though I said earlier on that the CD-Drive isn't that important to me, the fact that Pro's come with one is nice.
I asked my friends with Mac's which one I should get and it was a waste of time, my friends with Pro's told me to buy a Pro and my friends with Air's told me to get an Air.
I already have 2 PC's at home, I want to be able to use Microsoft Office ( I don't like Pages), I'm waiting till the 15th, hopefully Apple will announce new MB Pro's and that will help me decide. I want a notebook where I can download and save cases from Westlaw ( The Westlaw iPad app doesn't allow it). Also I hope to purchase the Thunderbolt display next year.
I'm sorry this is a little long it's just that I felt like I needed to give you the most information possible so that you guy's and gal's could give your best possible answer. Lastly I'm sorry if there are any grammatical errors or if this all seems a little incoherent, English isn't my first language.
Please answer I don't know what to do!
Cheers!

I own both a Pro and Air..., I wouldnt part with my macbook Air (owned 3 of them) for anything. Used to repair laptops, and owned well over 100 diff. varities. As a person who generally doesnt like anything,....I love the macbook Air.
Here is an excellent video comparison between the 11” I5 vs. I7 2013 Macbook Air.

Macbook Air:
Only one moving part, ultrafast boot time SSD, the full power of laptop with the weight of an Ipad (close).
Air is the only Mac that has Haswell, 802ac wifi, and incredible 12hr. batt life in 13" I5.
Recommend buying the Air with 8gig Ram.
Pack around a regular laptop around about 20 days, then an Air, .....after that the standard laptops stays at home.
Only one moving part, the fan. No moving HD heads to crash or moving platters. Runs a LOT cooler than anything else out there (which = durability). Heater is a killer on a scale of 10X over that of accidents.
Also the AIR has far fewer parts to fail inside than a standard laptop. Really only a few replacement parts
The Air in general is faster due to the SSD, also if you have a 802ac Router (i.e. Airport Extreme) then the Air over wifi is a LOT faster than ANYTHING out there
If youre going to be dragging a notebook around campus all the time, the Air makes things a lot more lovely.
The FINAL consideration of course is your application USE, and needs regarding same (see specs and video above)

New HDD for Tecra M2

Hi,
I want to install a new HDD 80 GB on my Tecra M2 1,8 GHz, bought it dec 2004. In that days a new 80 GB HDD was the product PA3230U-1H80. Now a new HDD of 80 GB for Tecra M2 is under the name PA3407-2H80. Can I use the latter in my Tecra M2 (of 2004)?
Thanks in advance.
Dr Weekx R

I have a Tecra M2 from around 2004. it has a large number of pieces changed in it. I've upgraded the processor from 1.5Ghz to 2.0Ghz (tho this does require the microcode updating). A replacement HD from the standard 40Gb to a hitachi 100Gb 7200rpm drive. The wireless LAN can to a Atheros miniPCI card. Also replaced the CD/DVD combo drive with a pioneer DVD-dual layer burner (which required some soldering on the adapter board, as toshiba don't follow standards for master slave configurations).
I must add that this was all carried out, after the warrenty had expired. The only other thing to upgrade is the LCD screen, which I have sourced to a company in german. as the UK are a complete rip off.
My point is that the Tecra M2 is upgradable, tho you do need to do your homework first. don't just go and purchase the first bit of hardware appears.

My new HDD for Macbook pro 13" unibody is not recognized and I am using a new SATA cable

Hey everyone,
I have a particular problem that I cannot seem to find an answer to. My new 500gb internal drive for my Macbook Pro 13" unibody is not recognized. The old HDD broke on me so I bought a new one but my macbook pro would not recognize it. To troubleshoot that issue I purchased the SATA cable and replaced the old with the new. The new HDD still will not show up in disk utility.
Please let me know what you think I may have missed or should do.
Thank you

jc1388,
Bring it to an Apple store Genius bar (make an appointment, so you don,t have to wait around forever) they will diagnose it for free and tell you your options/pricing. They have more extensive testing tools, maybe your logic board is failing/failed.
best of luck

Need new disk for 2011 Mac Mini i5 with Radeon 6630M

I need a new disk for 2011 Mac Mini i5 with Radeon 6630M
Will this fit?
Western Digital 2.5 inch Scorpio Black 750GB 7200rpm SATA 16MB Internal Hard Drive WD7500BPKT
Will I need special screwdrivers or tools?

Wow, I worked on my MacMini after watching the video.
But BEWARE!
That OWC video misses a crucial step! (I emailed them)
My MacMini had a bit of "invisible" black tape holding the disk connector to the disk, very hard to see. When I pulled off the connector, it came apart !
That bit of tape must be something Apple added, or some manufacturers added, but it really messed me up. I had to send my MacMini off to be repaired, at a cost about $200 including parts and labour.

New HDD for Inspiron Duo

Hello, my Inspiron Duo's HDD is defective and I can't recover it. I have a new HDD but I don't know how to install Windows in it, as the Duo BIOS doesn't support boot by an USB device and it doesn't have a CD/DVD-reader. How can I replace the HDD and install the OS in it?
Thank you.

This system can boot from a USB flash drive however you need installation media. If you have a Windows 7 Reinstallation DVD see here:
http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/converting-your-dell-windows-reinstallation-dvd-into-a-reinstallation-usb/
If not your best bet is to install Windows 10 TP (32 Bit) from USB (use the MBR partition scheme):

Buying new HDD for laptop - What happens to WIndows? p755-s5269

Hi all, I am experiencing an unfortunate truth with my laptop. Windows (and Linux) both got excruciatingly slow yesterday for no reason whatsoever. Upon booting into Windows it said that my hard disk was going to kick the bucket sometime soon. So I called customer support and I did all that they told me to do, except buying the Windows Recovery CD. Firstly, the hard drive is going out, not the software so I was screwed anyway. So now that I have deleted the linux partitions, and now using a LiveUSB of OpenSUSE, I know I am going to lose Windows. However, I saw that there are product keys at the bottom of the laptop.
My question: What will happen to Windows 7 when my new HDD arrives? Will I not be able to transfer the OS key to the new hard drive? I can delete all of the partitions anyway to where I have nothing on the HDD if that will help.
Thanks in advanced!

Presumably it will use updated drivers when it creates the media.
No, Sally. That partition never changes. You get recovery media that restores the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents (including the hidden partition which contains the same old recovery image).
