This will not work. This is a SATA drive and you need PATA. Also, windows 7 will most likely NOT work on that laptop you have.

You have to check the actual physical size of your hard drive. This one fits a 2.5 inch space. I used mine for my ps3 and works great. Should work I'd guess

I'd recommend you to call Toshiba customer service and ask them. If yes, then come back to Amazon and buy it here. That is what I did for my own laptop Toshiba Satellite.

Yes. You have to go int0 the BIOS and turn on legacy boot (sorry I forget the exact setting but a google search will get you pointed in the right direction). I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit installed on mine and it works flawlessly.

I bought this for my son's laptop which runs Windows 7. It worked fine with it. I'm sorry I am unable to answer your question.

Hello Mr. Tissier, you said that you didn't have any problems with Windows 7 as long as I get an A-B Y cable with 2 USB plugs. I order one from Cables to Go and plan to use it with my Dell Inspiron Netbook. Should I be okay with that? I would appreciate your response. Thank you.

I just purchased the exact adapter and it worked fine. The only difference is My computer runs window 8. I would call Toshiba and ask if it is compatible with window 7. good luck.

I had the same question regarding the free Windows 7 upgrade. It was listed with the Toshiba Satellite A505-S6973 but I noticed the offer is no longer linked with this laptop. This free upgrade was one of the factors considered in my purchasing this laptop. Unfortunately for me, however, no instructions for the free Windows 7 upgrade were included with the laptop documentation. On reading one of the reviews for this laptop, the writer indicated that he received instructions for the free upgrade with his Toshiba Satellite A505-S6973 laptop. What gives?

I had no problem, mine was downloaded to windows seven and it works fine. Did you try downloading it manually, I am not that computer savvy, so I am afraid I am not much help, sorry

Probably will work fine. Only kept unit for a couple of weeks as Windows8 drove us nuts.

Sorry for the late response, but don't know if it can work that way. I had a lot of driver conflicts and ended up using a different method. I gave it to a friend that had a toshiba laptop and it seemed to work fine for him.

Yes it is compatible with windows 7. I installed it twice. After the first install the keyboard failed and I returned it to Toshiba for repair. The first thing they did was reinstall windows 8, then fix the keyboard. So I has to reinstall windows 7. Therefore I cannot recommend this computer due to their stupid repair people.

I returned mine because I was informed that it would not work with Windows 7 (I have a Toshiba satellite). Bought the Pluggable brand instead and it's working fine.

It works perfectly fine. That's the same software I have (Windows 7). This is basically a "plug & go" device. I hope this will help.

First things first. Make sure you have all of the Windows 7 drivers for your laptop motherboard. Also make sure it meets the minimum requirements for the OS. Any of the Windows 7 OS should work for you, except Enterprise of course. Hope this helps, good luck.
