ok here's the deal, i want you to know that removing the harddrive from a laptop is not the best thing to do. you can injure the computer or the HD it's self. But if you want to know, on the side of the computer there should be the batery, and other ports, now there will be a piece of the computer that looks like it can be pulled out, it can be. however, you must first unscrew it from the motherboard. it is very easy to do this, simply turn the laptop over and look for a screw that looks like it was holding it in, unscrew it and turn the laptop back over again. now, usually the HD is on the opposite side of the computer as the battery. when the screw is out and you are sure you have it, give the piece a good pull. with a few good tuggs it should come out.
AnswerReplacing the hard drive in a Toshiba 1625 is very easy to do, and no more risky to your computer than dropping in a memory chip. It should take less than 5 minutes. On the bottom of the 1625 are three screws with the letter K embossed next to them - those are 3 of 7 screws that hold the keyboard in place, The other four screws are accesed by snapping off (no screws) the narrow ridge of plastic spanning the screen hinges - it's the piece with the 7 little leds and icons. Yes, it really does snap off (swing the screen way back). Remove the other 4 screws and lift the keyboard out. The hard drive is the 10x7cm box you see in the middle. Removing the two screws on the right side will enable you to lift (using the plastic tab) that end of the harddrive up just to the level that you can slide it out to the right (the HD socket is at the other end). DON'T ATTEMPT TO LIFT IT STRAIGHT OUT - IT HAS TO BE UNPLUGGED FROM THE SOCKET BY PULLING TO THE RIGHT. You may have to rock it back and forth while pulling. When installing a new hard drive, you'll obviously do the reverse, but be careful to hold the drive up with one hand as you plug it in so you can lower it gently into place.Hi
The hard drive is under the CD ROM. So first slide out the CD ROM. You can then unscrew and slide out the hard disk.
Cheers
It will be the largest screw-off panel underneath. Be sure the battery is out.

The Toshiba A10-S127 Satellite laptop can take up to at least a 100Gb hard drive as per toshiba's upgrade page. Here is the link to it: http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/afin.to You just have to fill in your model number and it will show you the results.
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.
Are you replacing the HD or do you want to SWAP with OS installed on BOTH????
There should be a recovery partition on the hard-drive. There is on mine !
A recovery disc for a Toshiba Satellite C655 can be made by loading the recovery program inside of Windows. It allows discs to be burned using an image stored on the hard drive.
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.
Toshiba does not specify a maximum size hard drive for this laptop. Based on its age / date of manufacture, it was probably built around the time of the 2.1 GB barrier, and thus is already equipped with the largest possible drive usable under most operating systems.
The Toshiba A15-S157 uses a standard 2.5" 40 GB EIDE / PATA hard drive.
hit it really hard with a hammer
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.
Seagate is a top branded name. It is better than toshiba.
Toshiba external hard drives come in range of prices, depending on your requirements. A 500 GB portable hard drive will cost approximately å£60, whereas a 1000 GB portable hard drive will cost you about å£75.
