laptop hard-drive power consumption
I've just tried to upgrade the disk in my Toshiba Portege S100.
currently it has an 80Gb Fujitsu 2.5" SATA drive (rated 5v 600ma)
tried to replace it with a 200Gb Toshiba SATA MK2035GS (rated 5v 1A)
Physical installation great - easier and quicker than a desktop!
reloaded XP - appeared to be ok - rebooted - repetitive blue screen - even in "safe mode" always after everything appeared to load - couldn't get full message appeared to be faulty hardware
tried a Linux "live Disk" - booted perfectly - couldn't find any disks (yet I know the same distro {Ubuntu Feisty} found the SATA disks perfectly well on my desktop).
reverted to original drive - everything works well - I hadn't broken something on installation...
Is the problem the power rating?
if so - is there somewhere that compare's SATA laptop drive ratings?
or, has Toshiba done something odd with there SATA connectivity?
or.....?
