Where do you insert the hard drive in a toshiba satellite m35x-s161?

Get onlineand got to www.google.com In the google search box type: "ToshibaSupport" (without the quotes and put your manufacturer name before Support). Look for downloads and drivers. Enter your model number and operatingsystem when requested. Download and install the Video drivers.You can also try Driver Guide at:http://www.driverguide.com

This is the download page for all drivers for your model.

It's on the right hand side, below the volume control knob.

I suggest you log on to www.computers.toshiba-europe.com
you will be amazed at how good the site is!
Hope you get your notebook working again.

This will take any EIDE disk, read not SATA!! It is very simple to replace a disk. It is a challenge to reload the OS and the drivers. Before you start, make sure you have the recovery disks or an XP disk. In the process, all of your data will be lost unless it is backed up someplace.
If this answers your question, I'd appreciate 4 thumbs. I do this for fun and do not get paid.

Sounds like there is a faulty connection between the power switch and the computer. Probably why its making a little noise.
Take in for repair and replace power button.

Here is the link to the driver download for your computer model and Operating System. This should solve the issue.

Good Luck :)

Check power management - clean dust from fan - full system virus/spyware/registry scan. Place external fan to help internal fan.
