no apple computer have it's own hard disk
As long as the HD and computer connectors match, any brand HD will work.
You may have to format the HD for the Mac OS when you first boot up is all. Apple has used just about every brand HD in their computers over the years as an OEM.
Presumably by size you mean capacity? The BIOS determines how much hard drive memory your computer can address so if you are upgrading your hard drive I suggest you check Toshiba's website and download the latest BIOS for your machine.
Connect the hard-drive to a computer via the USB port. On the 'host' computer - click on the 'My computer' icon Select the external hard drive from the list of available devices (probably 'E' drive)
Yes it can! ;)
The price of a Toshiba portable hard drive depends largely on the size of the drive. The larger the drive the more the cost. However, the cheapest Toshiba portable hard drive in the US, brand new is $50 for a 160 GB drive.
The Toshiba A15-S157 uses a standard 2.5" 40 GB EIDE / PATA hard drive.
One can learn how to reformat a hard drive by visiting the step by step instructions on either the Windows or Apple computer site (depending on the hard drive maker).
You can access the hard drive from the bottom of the laptop. If you turn the laptop upside down, you'll find the hard drive door under the Toshiba sticker with the laptop serial number. Remove two screws from the hard drive cover and then remove the cover. Slide the hard drive to the right and remove it. Transfer the hard drive bracket to a new hard drive.
The largest hard drive that one can find for external hard drives on Toshiba's website is 3 terabytes. One can also find 3 terabyte internal hard drives on their website as well.
It could possibly be that your hard drive got fried somehow. The only time that I have ever run into a problem like that is whenever I was stupidly messing around on my computer during a lightning storm, and an overload of power surged through my computer and fried my hard drive. All I did was replace the hard drive and install my Operating System and I was working on it again. I don't have any idea on how to replace a hard drive in a laptop, but my suggestion to you would be to call Toshiba and see if they can help you any more.
No. You just have to make sure to reformat whatever drive you get into the Apple format. Only takes a few seconds.
Seagate is a top branded name. It is better than toshiba.
