Satellite A50 - Can I put in another HDD?

I have Toshiba Satellite A50-110. My hard disk is broken.
Can I put HDD 2.5" PATA 0160 GB WD Scorpio Blue, 5400rpm, 8MB, WD1600BEVE instead old one?

Hello
First of all you need a need a 2.5 notebook HDD with PATA or lets say IDE interface. If I understand your posting correctly you want to use a 160GB model.
As far as I know Satellite A50 has a 28bit LBA limitation. That means you can only use HDDs up to 120GB.
So you should check the HDD controller which LBA limitation it has.
Is 120GB HDD enough for you?

Can i put in second HDD into Satellite A300-1EG

Hello,
The question is can i put in second HDD to Toshiba A300-1EG notebook, there is a place for one as I found, and what HDD should it be, i mean 2,5" and etc?
As I read, there can be no connection for HDD, all depends on model, how can I found out?
Thanks.

Hi
You can check this yourself.
Remove the plastic cover which secures the second HDD bay.
If there are some HDD connectors then you could install an second HDD.
If the connectors are missing, then you will not be able to use second HDD.
I know its a little but confusing because of the second HDD bay but the point is that different A300 models supports different motherboards and not all motherboards are equipped with two HDD controllers.

Satellite A30 - Can I install a bigger HDD?

I thought I had been careful with bits of kit and boards. but after rebuilding my A30 (having had the DC socket replaced), it comes up with the following messages:
*SMART Failure predicted on Hard Disk 0: TOSHIBA MK4018GAS (PM)*
*WARNING: Immediately back-up your data and replace your hard disk drive. A failure may be imminent.*
*Press F1 to continue*
I have tried refitting board connector to HDD socket, which seems OK.
So am beginning to think I have killed this disk somehow. If so, can I install a bigger disk, say 80 or even 160 GB, and should I look for magic word MK4018GAS, or is it SATA or IDE, I am looking for.
Thanks. Robin

Hi!
If you remove the old HDD you can see ifs a IDE or SATA HDD but the Satellite A30 is equipped with a IDE HDD.
You can use a bigger HDD. This should not be a problem but as far as I know this notebook has a 28bit LBA limitation. That means the disk size limit is 128GB and so you can only use an HDD up to 120GB.
If you want to know more about this read the article on Wikipedia or here: http://www.48bitlba.com
So you can buy a 120GB HDD or a 80GB HDD as you suggested. I have good experience with Hitachi and Seagate HDDs.
Anyway, I think its a good idea to exchange the HDD. SMART error message appears only if there is something wrong with the HDD so backup your data as fast as possible. ;)

Satellite T130 - Can't start the Toshiba HDD recovery

Hi all, I have a problem with my Satellite T130. I have to start the Toshiba HDD Recovery but the computer tell me that there isn't a valid HDD recovery on the PC. Probably this is a my fahter's fault. There is another way to start the recovery?
Thanks

Hi iceknight,
Of course you can install Windows from a normal Microsoft Windows disk thats no problem. There are some guides you can find using Google to copy the Windows 7 disk content on an USB stick and then you can install Windows 7 from a USB stick.
But easiest way is you order a recovery disk from Toshiba directly. The recovery disk contains all necessary drivers and tools so the original out of box settings can be restored:

Can I put a 2nd hard drive in my Satellite P875-S7200 laptop??

There appears to be a space underneath for another one so I have to ask. Can I put another hard drive in this laptop or not? I'm not going to buy another hard drive for this thing if I can't.
Please see the attached photo.
Thank you.

There are a couple of ways to run DISKPART. The most common method is probably from within the CMD console:
Start Menu, enter cmd in the search field, and then click on the CMD icon in the search result section.
Once the CMD console window launches, enter diskpart
Or you can access DISKPART directly from the "run" dialog:
<win>r    (then in the "run" dialog field,) enter   diskpart
Here's a screencap of the DISKPART Clean command. I inserted one of my Flash sticks (disk 3) and ran the Clean command on it.
The system info is in green color. My input commands are in blue.
Microsoft DiskPart version 6.1.7601

DISKPART> list disk
Disk ### Status         Size     Free     Dyn Gpt
Disk 0    Online          931 GB      0 B
Disk 1    Online          465 GB      0 B
Disk 2    Online          465 GB   100 MB
Disk 3    Online           14 GB      0 B
DISKPART> select disk 3
Disk 3 is now the selected disk.
DISKPART> list disk
Disk ### Status         Size     Free     Dyn Gpt
Disk 0    Online          931 GB      0 B

* Disk 3    Online           14 GB      0 B
DISKPART> clean
DiskPart succeeded in cleaning the disk.
DISKPART>
That's it. I always repeat the "list disk" command after selecting the desired disk to eliminate user error (accidentally wiping the wrong HDD). The * symbol tells the user which disk is in focus, or which disk the system has selected for the user commands to be performed on the disk.
The Clean command usually takes only a few seconds to complete.
After running the Clean command, the HDD or Flash Stick will then appear as "unallocated" in the Disk Management Console window. I always do this before Cloning with my Acronis boot disc since Acronis will automatically select the unallocated HDD as the "Target" HDD. It also eliminates any question when selecting the Source HDD since the Target HDD will appear in Acronis (and any other Cloning/Imaging prep dialog screens) as containing no data.
Another way to be safe in DISKPART and assure that the desired disk is the one that you want to clean, is to launch Disk Management in Windows at the same time that DISKPART is launched, using <win>r diskmgmt.msc
The PC's disks will be numbered the same as in DISKPART. For example, "disk 0" is my OS and "C" HDD, etc.
Wish I could help with your Driver issues. That's an area of PC's where I'm a rookie

Satellite A50: What HDD are supported

Hello,
my hard disk seems to be broken and i would like to change it.
Which hard disk can i use for my Toshiba Satellite Serie A 50 ?
The old one was around 60 GB.
Is it difficult to change the notebook hard disk ? I have experiences with
PCs but not with Notebooks.
Which one (hard disk) should I buy ?
Thank you for your help in advance.
Ocelin

Hi
Im a owner of the Satellite A50. Its a little bit old unit but I used it only as a backup and second notebook.
Anyway, I have upgraded the notebook with the 100GB HDD!!! It works!
So I assume you can also use a 100GB HDD but please take a look on the HDD interface.
Its important that the HDD supports the right interface. In my knowledge the HDD should supports enhanced IDE (ATA-6) interface!

Satellite M70 - Can I use all 2,5" HDDs?

Does all HDD 2.5" can be put into Satellite M70 or they have to have specific dimensions? For example i thin about Samsung spinpoint [this model|http://www.pricerunner.com/pl/36-765680/Hard-Drives/Samsung-SpinPoint-T166-320GB-SATAII-7200rpm-Compare-Prices].
Will it be OK for my laptop?

Hi!
As far as I know the Satellite M70 was available with SATA HDDs and IDE HDDs. If you have a SATA HDD, you can use this HDD.
The Satellite M70 supports only SATA150 (SATA1) but this is no problem. All SATA2 HDDs runs in SATA1 mode and are 100% compatible.

Satellite A50 - After HDD exchange I have the same capacity

Hello, I just changed the old 40GB HDD in A50 to a new 60GB HDD.
Before I changed it I used True Image to make a backup file of the old HDD so that I can recover everything to the new HDD. However, when I did this the HDD got everything on the old HDD but the capacityis changed to 40GB..! I then use the recovery CD on the new HDD and hoping the capacity can be changed back to 60GB, but it can't...
However, when I went to disk management I can see there is another parition (black in colour) with the remaining space, but it is not shown in my computer..
Does anyone know how can I get the remaining space back?
Many thanks.

Hello
Normally if you clone a HDD you can also change the partition sizes. I also use Acronis True Image and if I clone a HDD I will be asked for every partition size.
Check this again!!
However, now you should delete all existing partitions and then create a new one with the full 60GB capacity. For this you can use a Microsoft XP disk for example.
After this you can start to install the Windows using Toshiba recovery disk. Then you should have the full 60GB capacity.

Can I put more than one user under one Apple ID account. I want to let other family members use imessage on their own Apple device. Or is there another way to get this end result?

You can seach the net for solutions like this one http://appletvvpn.com/how-to-connect-apple-tv-2-to-vpn/ another idea is to use a PC as the control and fit that with a wireless card and set up a ad hoc wireless network that the Apple TV uses.

Satellite Pro P300-26U - Can I use a second HDD?

Satellite P300 family support raid0 and double HDD. All model? User manual of 26U don't say any word about this. Model like P300-1BP has double HDD.
Can someone help me? I want to buy a P300-26U in Italy.
Thanks.
Guido

Hi
The Satellite P300 series doesnt support RAID!
There is NO RAID controller on the motherboard.
But you are right; the Satellite Pro P300-BP supports 2 HDDs but this does not meant that it would support RAID!
Furthermore you should know that P300 series supports different hardware specifications.
This means that not all P300 would be able to use 2 HDDs!!!
It could be possible that Satellite Pro P300-26U is not able to use 2 HDDs even though the Satellite Pro P300-BP support 2 HDDs.

Can I install a 2nd HDD in my Satellite P200-10C?

Hi
I have a Satellite P200-10C which I want to upgrade with a 2nd HDD. I called a Toshiba representative who told me my model doesn't support an other HDD. But then again, why does it have a place in the back of the laptop for a 2nd one?
Could some one tell me if it can be used to accommodate a 2nd HDD.
Thanks in advance
Gerardo

@Jayjay
I finally decided to open the compartment for the 2nd HDD of my Satellite P200-10C. I discovered there the modem (I think) and enough space to accommodate a HDD but alas! No connector for the HDD. I think that settled the matter. I can not have a 2nd HDD. Unless of course someone in the future find a way to attach a connector.
Thanks for your answer, Jajay

Okay, I figured out that Windows has "AutoPlay" settings which can automatically download photos and videos from a newly connected device, such as an iPad Mini. I think I could open it in Windows Explorer too that way but the auto download solved my problem.
