Toshiba A100/A105 Hard Drive replacement

I need to replace the hard drive on my laptop and I am trying to figure out which ones will be compatible,,and trying to find the parts number on the one I have been looking at
Toshiba 30GB 2.5 Laptop Harddrive HDD MK3017GAP
60GB Toshiba Laptop IDE HDD
Toshiba MK4025GAS 40GB 2.5 ATA Laptop Hard Drive
Toshiba 60GB 5400rpm SATA
Does anyone know if any of these will work ??
Thank you

 

exactly what model specifically?

Why are you limiting yourself to Toshiba drives? You can use other manufacturer drives instead of toshiba ones.

 

ok ,, now i am reaching here ,,,
I think it is TK143 / PMAE00776010

and thanks for that directive so far ,, it as because I thought that was what I was limited too.
So I would be glad to know of other compatible hard drives..
If I use another , do I purchase a new Windows program ??
Will it still keep it built in wireless features or should I get a wireless card ??

I have to recover this one constantly after a virus my husband downladed on it about a year ago while downloading files from the free edition of limewire.

I mean it it is thrashed

I just had the thought that if I used another hard drive I would need a new windows program because I wouldnt be able to load it on with my recovery disk .
but .... I can and am willing to do it ,,

 

It should use an SATA hard disk.

If you're going to replace the hard disk anyways, take the drive out and have a look at the interface it is using now.

Wireless feature means it has a wireless card internally, all you would need is windows drivers to be able to use it.

As for the Windows, I haven't worked on that laptop specifically but the past Toshiba's I have worked on have included full recovery CD's and you can load them onto other hard drives once the drive has been installed in the system. I can't say with 100% certainty if the disks you have are full recovery from the disk or if they recover from the hard disk.

 

Thank you ,,
That is really good news.
I think I have the full recovery disk because it gives me the options of recovering to the out of box state or to erase the entire hard drive and start over.

If I need the Windows drivers,, I am not sure how to get them .
I know that is a dum uestion but I didnt know if that was something online or a CD or what I needed ,, just in case

 

if the disks have the option to erase the hard disk and start over, it should also load the drivers.

Otherwise, try here with your specific model type for drivers:
