Re: Satellite L300-11C - Which HDD is built in?

Hi,
I'd like to know if the hard drive in the L300-11C is SATA or IDE. Are they of particular size or will any 2.5" drive fit?
Any help would be appreciated :)
Many thanks,

Hi
I have Satellite L300 too so I can say that this notebook uses SATA HDDs. So if you want to buy a new HDD you have to buy one with SATA or SATA2 interface. Both will work in Satellite L300.
Furthermore you need a normal 2.5 HDD. These HDDs are designed for notebook usage.
If you have more questions, please let us know! :)

  • Satellite L300-22L - Which RAM for upgrade?

    Hello.
    I have Satellite L300-22L notebook. Can you tell me which is the best RAM for my system in speed and capacity?

    Hi!
    The Satellite L300-22L belongs to the PSLB8E series and is equipped with Intel GL40 chipset.
    That means for upgrading the RAM you need modules with the specification DDR2 667MHz to a maximum of 4GB.
    Theoretically you can buy modules with these specifications from every manufacture but I have good experience with Kingston modules. I use them always for upgrading my notebooks and never had problems.

  • Satellite A210-ICO - Which HDD can I use?

    I'm getting bad sectors on my laptop's hard drive so I guess I should fork out for a new one - but which are suitable for A210-1CO?
    ta, M

    Hi
    The Satellite A210 uses SATA HDDs and you need a new HDD with SATA interface. You can buy every HDD that you want, for example 160 or 320GB. On SATA interface there are no capacity limits.
    Furthermore the most SATA HDDs have already SATA2 interface but its downgrade compatible to SATA1.
    I would prefer a HDD with 5400rpm. Of course you can buy a HDD with 7200rpm but they produces more heat and noise. For the most applications are 5400rpm enough.
    I have good experience with Hitachi and Seagate HDDs.

  • Satellite L300 wont boot up

    Hi,  I have a Satellite L300 Laptop which since i dropped it ,  wont boot up i have tried the built in recovery but it stops with "Windows cannot recover Master file table".  It is running Vista , does any one know how i can reboot my laptop as at the moment it starts then i get a blank screen and nothing .
       Cheers  Doug

    You more than likely damaged the hard drive when you dropped it.  See if it will boot to a CD or DVD.  If it does you need to test the hard drive to see if it is usable or not. 
    To test the hard drive determine what brand of hard drive you have.  You can check the Bios/Setup to find out.  Go to that manufacturer's support site and download their Self Booting Diagnostic CD ISO image, create the CD using the Burn From Image option (see http://iso.snoekonline.com/iso.htm for more information on doing this), then boot to it and run the most exhaustive tests available.  If you have a Toshiba drive you will need to use the Hitachi Drive Fitness Test as Toshiba doesn't supply their own. http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm
    If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

  • Satellite L300-17N (PSLBCE) - Wireless Card is not working

    Hello,
    I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L300 (PSLBCE) which came without any OS and dirvers. I installed WXP PRO SP2 on it and downloaded all drivers from Toshiba site. Everything was installed ok and working except the WLAN card. The WLAN card it's a Realtek RTL8187B but it's not recognized by my laptop: If I check the device manager it does not appear (it only appears 'Network Controller' with yellow mark). Then I went to Realtek website and download new drivers from there and installed again....also with these dirvers the WLAN card still not recognized.
    Any idea what coud be the problem? I'm sure I downloaded the correct dirvers from Toshiba website and also from Realtek site...but none of them helped. The chipset drivers were also installed and also the latest BIOS version (my BIOS version is newer that the one on the toshiba website with the drivers for this model)
    Can it be a conflict with other dirvers or with WXP PRO SP2?
    Thank you

    Hi buddy
    The Satellite L300-17N does not support the Realtek RTL8187B but Intel 11a/b/g (13ch) - Golan Wlan card.
    I would recommend visiting the Toshiba European WLan portal and would recommend downloading and installing the Intel WLan driver from here:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads
    There you could try the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945/4965/5100/5300 driver package!!!
    I would appreciate your feedback

  • Cannot enable Vista Aero on Satellite L300-15v with Intel CPU

    I installed Vista for my Satellite L300-15v which i bought without system.
    I can't set HIGHER memory for the graphics ( shared ) memory which is between 0 and 256.
    Please notify me how to do this and whether this is the reason why Aero effects doesn't work *or my pc doesn't meet the minimum requirements*.
    note: L300 is 2.13 celeron | graphics: Intel 965 - GMA X3100 , 2GB of Ram
    thanks in advance

    Hi
    Firstly you should check if your Vista version would support Aero.
    Windows Vista Home Basic doesnt support Aero.
    So you need a higher version of Vista to use such feature
    Please also check this Microsoft page: [Troubleshoot problems with Windows Aero|http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/c33fe91a-9e6f-41f4-ae82-3ed2d5fa2fbf1033.mspx#EZD]

  • Satellite L300 - How to transfer data from old HDD?

    I have a toshiba Satellite 2410-504 which gave me the blue screen so I've bought a L300 to replace it.
    tThere are documents and pictures I would like to retrieve from the old tosh -
    Can I switch hard drives across if they are compatible or is there a lead to do this and how ...........................help!

    The only way I know is you buy an external HDD case where you can put in the old HDD. Connect the old HDD that is the case with the USB cable to your new notebook and then you can copy your documents and pictures.
    Such cases are not expensive and external HDDs are very practical.

  • Satellite L300 - Built In webcam suddenly stopped working

    Hello,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 with a built in 2.0 USB camera and a windows 7 operating system, the camera suddenly stopped working since about 2-3 weeks ago with unknown reason!
    I already tried system restore, un-installing and re-installing the camera driver, preformed a full scan by kaspersky internet antivirus 2012 (up to date), and I also ran a complete system and drivers troubleshooting ... and the problem still exists ...
    When I use the windows live movie maker it gives me an error saying: cant record audio or video from the selected device. Make sure that the device you're trying to use is installed properly and not currently in use by another program.
    The microphone works well on skype but the camera doesn't open!
    Please tell me how to fix it, what am I missing?

    > webcam appears in the device manager
    Is it marked with an yellow exclamation mark?
    Usually if the webcam software has been installed, you should be able to start this software going to:
    All Programs -> Toshiba
    There you should find the webcam software check if you can use and control the webcam after this software has been started normally the webcam control bar should pop up if you would move the mouse cursor above the upper display area PS: the bar can be moved to other area too; left right or bottom

  • How to determine which chipset my Satellite L300/700 has?

    I have a SATELLITE L300/700 (PSLB8A-047004). The User Guide covers several models. It indicates that the chipset determines which memory modules I need for a memory upgrade. How do I find out which chipset I have, please?
    Kev.

    > I'm still curious about how to determine which chipset I have - any thoughts?
    Go to the device manger and click on IDE Ata/Atapi controllers:

    There you will see your chipset installed on your laptop. In my case, as shown on the screenshot is Intel ICH9m

    Hi Klaas-bcs,
    Your notebook belongs to PSLB0A series and therefore you can get all drivers on Toshiba Australian page:

    Youre right that there are different drivers listed but if you have a Realtek WLAN card you have to download the Realtek RTL8187B Wireless LAN Driver

  • How can i no which SATA driver do I need for Satellite L300-03C

    How can i no which SATA driver do I need for Satellite L300-03C so i can do nlite

    Hi
    Your notebook seems to be a Satellite L300-03C PSLB8C-03C01X.
    As already suggested in your first thread visit the Toshiba Canada page and choose this notebook model on the driver page.
    http://209.167.114.38/support/Download/ln_bymodel.asp
    Then download the Intel Matrix Storage Manager (SATA) - Floppy drive image. Its for Vista but the files in this package should work with Win XP too.
    Include these files using nLite in order to create new Win XP disk containing the SATA drivers.
    Finally use this disk for booting.

  • Satellite L300-110 - How to recover without loosing data on the HDD?

    Hello all
    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300-110
    The question is how can I recover my laptop with the recovery DVD without lose any data located in the hard disk drive?

    Hello
    A recovery installation from the recovery disk without loosing data on the HDD isnt possible. If you use the Toshiba recovery disk the whole HDD will be formatted so you must backup the data first.
    The only way I know is to use the HDD recovery function in the advanced boot menu. The HDD recovery function formats only the first partition of the notebook and all data that you have stored on the second partition are available after recovery.
