By selecting: sattelite, and the full model number.

The number is located under the pc.

You're going to have to look around in BIOS for a setting to enable the SATA controller. You may also have to set it to "IDE mode"

But the harddrive could have a fault, try with a new harddrive.

Good luck

check my computer with drive disconnected note all drives,shut down connect drive reboot go to my computer any new drive found should be external h/drive good luck!

Toshiba default factory setting can only restor your software if you have backup copy on New Harddrive.

As your old Harddrive crashed, you have to reinstall Operating system and requie software on new Harddrive.

I had the same problem, I used my Windows Password reset disk and still nothing. I replaced the Harddrive. Once I did that I tried to reformat my system only to get the error message that the neew harddrive was bad. I ended up taking out the CMOS battery (Over night) Next day I was able to reformat system. Note (never could get by the password. But that didn't matter because I installed Windows Xp

Hey,

bottom of the laptop

then


ones the HDD (HardDrive) is out you can remove it from the case by unscrewing the 4 screws.

screw the new hard dive into the case and then plug the new hard drive into the computer.


Let me know if you need anything else.


Thanks,
Ekse

Check the harddrive is there in bios.
You can get into bios by keepnig the escape key pressed while it it booting, once in bios check that the harddrive is beiing detected.
Hard drive may need formatting if it is not formatted already.

When a harddrive starts clicking it's on it's way out.
Buy a new harddrive and at the same time get a USB to laptop harddrive adapter. You can reinstall XP with the recovery disks that came with your machine ans then slave your old drive to your laptop and recover your personal files.
If you really want to get technicalbuy an Apricorn housing: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817155602
And two new harddrives, fit one new harddrive to the Apricorn housing and try to install the EZgig cloning software to your dying Windows. You can clone your existing Windows install to the new harddrive in the Apricorn housing and then move that drive to your laptop, the second new harddrive can then be fitted to the Apricorn housing and used as an external harddrive.
EZgig comes with the Apricorn housing and you could even go so far as to create a clone of your Windows install to the new external harddrive. The Apricorn housings are excellent, they are small enough to carry in your laptop case and all they need for power is a USB port.
