Janusz, you can put any hard disk you want in your laptop, it
doesn't have to be from Toshiba, generally they are of 2.5 inches with a
SATA connector.
Here in Uruguay a 500 GB 2.5 inches laptop harddisk costs 87 USD, I
guess they are cheaper in other parts of the world.
You need to buy it, then find a way to transfer the information to
the new harddisk and thats it.
Don't count on any program to be able to fix a harddisk, when they
fail there is usually not a way to repair them.
And you can't trust your harddisk if it is accumulating relocated
sectors, it could fail anytime.
Good bye!

Dear syr,
Thank You very much for Yours help.
Yes, You had right. GRML is including precompiled Speakup in kernel
and Speakup is able to use Espeak synthesizer and because Dosemu is
professionally preconfigured, i can run Dosemu from one of The virtual
consoles and i can read The dos programs messages by using Speakup
screen reader.
Program HDD Regenerator 2011 is using .exe program for DOS for
searching bad harddrive sectors and according to The programmer, it
can repair physically damaged sectors.
I have Toshiba satellite notebook and my second harddrive is having
some bad sectors according to The smart test included in many programs
including Diskutility included with Ubuntu.
My first harddrive started to have even 11 bad sectors and it started
to be more and more slover and it finished by The situation, that
harddisk heads were worked constantly and harddrive have been cycled
in The self test mode so even Linux kernel were not able to find this
device.
I would like to know, if it is possibility to repair hydden sectors,
which are being hydden by The smart function. Because i think, that
every harddrive is having some place to store bad sectors on it, and
when this place started to be full, it start to unhyde those bad
sectors and even Windows or other operating system kernel is able to
find those sectors unusable.
I Am very gently to my computers and i AM very sad, that second
harddisk is containing those bad sectors.
Firstly, there were 5 bad sectors and 6 or 8 weeks later there was 7
bad sectors.
If will be more than 10 bad sectors, it will start to blocking Windows
kernel and i will get errors that system can't read or write from The
specific sectors.
When i have tried HDD Regenerator 2011 with my mother, program did not
find bad sectors but i think, that program is also depend on BIOS
services for accessing sectors and that bad sectors will be only
awailable for HDD Regenerator 2011 to repair it when harddisk will
contain more than 10 bad sectors.
So by The others words, i AM searching for program to repair Toshiba
manufactured harddisk.
Do You think, that it is possible to connect other than Toshiba
harddisk to My notebook? Or BIOS or other build in software modules
will only cooperate with their harddisks?
If i will have to be forced to change thirt harddisk, it is very
unpleasant think.
I Am afraid, that i will be forced to use Linux in live Mode and
external harddrive for data storage, but because in live Mode system
is using RAM for storing .tmp files, it is not very practic approach.
And i Am having big issue, i can not find The kernel device driver for
The Atheros AR8152/8158 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.20)
device.
May be, that this kernel device driver not exist.
I can make my Ubuntu or debian remaster, it is not issue for Me, i
know about Remastersys or Tux2live, so there are possibility.
I have also PCLINUX OS ZEN Mini from Year 2009 and this distro is
containing ammazing remastering script, user is even able to remaster
from running live CD by specifiing The target partition. It is sad,
that this is not possible when using Debian based kernels.
