Satellite A350-122 - How to install second HDD?

Hello,
I'm a french owner of a A350-122 (Serial No: 39169719K)
In the french user's manual, on page 1-5, it's written that it's possible to insert an other hard drive, and on page 2-6 the rear view of the A350-122 shows a second location on the left for a second hard drive.
So, I have bought an Intel X25-M SSD to put in the second location. I have opened the second location and there is nothing: no sata connector, no power connector, only an empty location.
So, what's wrong with this Satellite A350-122?
Thank's for your answer.

Hi,
here is the official link for the french user manual of the A350 : http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/userman-fr-20081024130641.zip
- On page 1-5 you will see in french as Information : "Il est possible d'insrer des disques durs supplmentaires".
If you translate these words with Google for example, it means : "It is possible to add additional hard disks".
- On page 2-6 you will see a picture of the rear with of the laptop and on the left, in red, it's written : "Disque dur 2".
If you translate these words with Google for example, it means : "Hard Disk 2".
I have contacted the customer service by phone, they admit there is a problem and the will find a friendly solution...

  • Satellite A300-1J1 - How to install 2nd HDD?

    Hello
    I bought a Satellite A300 and I see in the specifications that is possible to add a 2nd hdd. So I bought one and when I opened the hdd box, I didn't find a connector to connect to my hdd. I think I must install a SATA connector but I didn't find any way to proceed.
    Thanks
    PS : Excuse me if you find mistakes, I doesn't speak very well

    Hello
    Thans for your answers.
    Here is the link http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=UK&PRODUCT_ID=1 056110
    By the way, I'll take a photo to show you the box, maybe the connector is inside but I didn't notice it.
    Thanks
    PS : they changed specifications of the product, removing "box for 2nd hdd". You can see on this site, for example, and for french speakers http://www.ldlc-pro.com/fiche/PB00075521.html that they say "hdd 250 go + box for a 2nd hdd"

  • Satellite P305-s8842: How do the 2 HDDs work together?

    I have the Satellite P305-s8842, it comes with dual 200 gig HDD's.
    I was wondering how they work together. The main one is almost full; when it fills all the way up will it automatically start filling the second HDD?
    Right now there are only two files on the second one they are a temp folder and a msdia80.dll file.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Thanks for the reply

    Anyway, I don't really understand how it's supposed to be used. Please don't flame, I am pretty proficient with computers but this is the first one that I've had that has two hdd's. Just trying to understand how they work together. Thanks.

  • Satellite A200-10X: How to partitioning the HDD

    Hi there guys!
    I have a pro with my satellite A200-10X, it has only one HDD volume, and i want to make them two... and everytime i use the product recovery CD, it formats the HDD... but i do not know how to partition the HDD two get two volume spaces...
    and whats worse is that when i keep on doing that over and over it eats the HDD free space... so how can i partition the HDD and recover the 200GB space the computer originally have?
    i appreciate your help ..
    thanx

    Hello Sherif
    If you use delivered recovery media you have follow options:
    1. the whole HDD capacity can be used for partition C
    2. the HDD capacity can be split and you can create two partitions
    When you use both options Vista will create 1,4 GB partition but this partition will not be visible when you use OS.
    If you want to have two partitions (C and D) start recovery procedure and after choosing the language use SETUP button on the right side. In the middle of the screen occurs small window and there you can set how much capacity should be reserved for partition C. when the recovery procedure is finished and Vista starts open Computer Management.
    On the left side choose Disk Management. After doing this on the left side you will see partition marked as black. This is second partition but still not visible. Click there with right mouse button and choose option to create logical drive. Follow the setup procedure.
    After few steps this partition will be set as logical drive and after formatting it will be visible in Vista Explorer.
    If you have more questions please post again.
    Bye

  • Does Satellite P70-A-129 support the second HDD/SSD

    I recently bought this model P70-A-129 from Greece, and i am wondering if it accepts a second HDD / SSD drive.
    I opened the underneath cover and there is a second connector but i don't know if it is connected to the Main-board.
    Can you assist me by telling me if this model can manage a second drive?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Its easy to test this
    You can try to connect the HDD placed in the first HDD bay to the 2nd HDD controller in the 2nd HDD bay. In case the BIOS would recognize the HDD properly, the upgrade should be possible.
    Please check also this Toshiba Satellite P70 / Qosmio X70 HDD replacement procedure.

  • Satellite A210-15Y - How to install Windows XP?

    I had Windows Vista and I upgrade it with Windows 7. Now I really want to install Windows XP.
    When I put Windows XP CD in after a while I get an blue screen whit an error .
    pls tell how to install Windows XP on my notebook and if I need some drivers to do it pls put links from whereIi can get them.
    P.S. sorry for bad english

    Hi
    I think the problem is that you tried to install the Win XP without installation of SATA driver.
    The A210 needs SATA driver in order to recognize the HDD.
    You could also check the BIOS settings. There should be a option called SATA mode.
    This can be set from AHCI to compatible and this will allows you to install the Win XP without the first installation of SATA drivers.
    Please also check other threads here in the forum about the same theme!!!
    PS: It's advisable to use Win XP including SP3!!! You can include the SP3 using the nLite software!!!

  • Satellite A350-07C - How to transfer movies from camcorder?

    Hi Everyone. Just wanted to know if anyone knows how I can upload movies from my Sony DCR-TRV19E that has USB and DV iLink slots into my Toshiba Satellite A350/07C?
    My understanding is that Sony does not support USB drivers for Windows Vista and 7 (and why not!?) which leaves me the Firewire which in this case is the iLink (DV) slot on the camcorder. Where do I stick this in the Toshiba? Does my Toshiba have a different look Firewire? I know that in my Device Manager I have something that is called ieee 1394 OHCI Complient. But where excatly is it on my model? Is it the little slot on the left that looks like the DV of my camcorder (it has a lable on the top that says EX on it)?
    Or is it through the PCI card slot that is on the left side (that also says on it EX)?
    Please help me?

    i have good experience with Sony camcorder and I can recommend you to use firewire cable.
    You are right this is this small DV interface. On your notebook there should be the same on the left notebook side.
    It is the first port placed near the USB port.
    Both devices have small 4 pin slot so buy right 4 to 4 pin cable.
    When you connect the cam just switch it and it should be recognized automatically.
    If you need more help let me know.

  • Satellite 1410-902: How to remove a HDD

    Hi. Does anyone know how to remove a HDD from a Toshiba Satellite 1410-902?
    Opening the panel there it is the HDD, but there is no clear way to get it out...I don't want to force.
    Thanx for the help.
    Luca.

    Hi
    The HDD slot is placed at the bottom of the unit. You have only to remove the screw which secures the slot cover. Then you can simply remove the HDD.
    But be careful.

  • Satellite A350-13D - Can I install Vista 64bit?

    Hi
    (excuse me, I can't speak english very well, sorry if I write with faults)
    3 days ago, I bought an Toshiba Satellite A350-13D. It has 4GB RAM, but Windows Vista Home Premium 32 Bit is installed. The computer can use only 3GB.
    Can I install Vista Home Premium 64 Bit to use the totality of RAM (4GB)? Where can I download the driver for my computer?
    Thanks for your help :)
    Have a nice day

    Hi!
    Of course you can I install Windows Vista 64bit Why not? What do you think?
    On the Toshiba website I can find all drivers for Vista 64bit on Satellite A350 so it should all working properly with Vista 64. Check it yourself:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
    But note there are two different BIOS versions available One for 32bit and one for 64bit. After installing Vista 64bit you must update the BIOS too.

  • Satellite U200-122: How to use Pivot function on external Monitor?

    I have a Satellite U200-122, would like to use the external monitor in pivbot function.
    But I do not find where I can have the display rotate, so that it will be displayed in portrait format on the external monitor and accept resolution 1024x1280.
    Any ideas?
    Graphic driver: Intel Chipset 945GM express
    Thanks
    Isabel

    Thax for the tipp, but:
    That is exactly my problem: the intel graphics acceklerator DOES NOT offer any rotate functionality! I wonder why because I have read in many forums that it should have, I know it can be seen on the right part of the intel graphics accelerator window, but nothing is there.
    So i wonder, if in the U200 there is possibly a different graphic driver or management sofwtare, which just does not support this? Could it be that a graphic driver does not offer pivot???
    Shortcuts do not work either.
    Btw: when i put the laptop on a kensington workstation, then the kensington graphic manager -display -link - is used, and then with many workarounds i do get the monitor to show pivot in necessary reolution. but i want a to use a pivot monitor also at home without dockingstation...

  • Re: Satellite P775-11P and upgrade with second HDD

    I know that you can have a second HDD in higher models, but ist it possible to add a second HDD to my P775-11P???
    Because the place/bay is already there, only the cables are missing....
    Please help.....

    I agree with Macius
    If the connectors are missing, the second HDD is not possible.
    The point is that all the notebooks use the same plastic covers but the motherboards might be different and this is the reason why the second bay is available but the 2nd HDD is not possible.

  • How to install second hard drive in Satellite A200-1BW?

    I see my new Satellite A200-1BW has two hard drive bays,on looking into the second bay I cannot see how a second drive can be fitted as the plug in socket appears to be missing.
    What parts do i need to fit to fit a second drive as they are held in stock by my local computer outlet and are quite cheap,can anybody advise me on part numbers etc of the bits I need.
    Thanks
    Steve

    Hi,
    there are many different models of your machine on the market and some of them have a second drive, some of them not. If you bought a model with one drive then you will only be able to install ONE drive because your model was only intended to have one drive.
    And even if you solder a connector to it or attach it in any other way then you dont know if the bios supports the second drive.
    My suggestion on it: obtain a USB-HDD and store your data on that drive. Would be making more sense then spending a lot of time on investigation to find out that your mainboard is not able to handle a second drive.
    Cheers
