A40: problems, I think that with a hard drive

Hello! Bit of background - had a laptop Toshiba SA40 ISI during a little less of 2 years, and there have been some major problem with it in these last days (until then it had been beautiful and functional with brio).

He started working yesterday incredibly slowly, took forever to load, kept on crashing etc. After the restart for the 5th time, it would have just send me to the "Windows didn't load correctly screen ' and ask me to select an option, and whatever that I did sent me to the toshiba load screen, Windows does not at all.

So I had use the product recovery disks and reformat the hard disk. For half a day, the laptop was working once again excellent, no problem. Then this morning, out of nowhere, it completely crashed again. I rebooted, and again the same problems appear. But now I can't used the product to reformat recovery disks. A few times he reformatted then the screen became all black. The error messages became more in worst - now, when I'm trying to recover, comes up with an error message:

GDISK (e) cannot write to sector 0 of the fixed disk 1 - the IDE controller error

F0ollowed by a little more information, I have not a chance to note that the screen then recovering flashed, then the screen says:

!!!!!!!!!! Error!

Then a screen that says:

DAY 02/05/06
Error No.: 11030
Message: Invalid destination drive

He has gradually deteriorated. I think there is a problem with the hard drive, the previous messages referred to make it incapable of partition. It is quite anmnoying as it came straight from heaven. Everyone has experienced or heard of something like that? Anyone know what is the problem or what to do? How do you think it will cost you for difficulty? I don't know if it is covered by the warranty, or if this series comes with 2 year warranty.

Any help would be much appreciated

Russell

Hello

If the warranty is valid, then all replacements will be done free of charge. If you are not 100% sure so call the Toshiba service in your country. Please note; If you open the notebook (remove covers) by yourself if you will lose the warranty.

  • Problem with new HARD drive and Qosmio Player installation

    Hi all
    I hope someone can help, I had my Qosmio for 2 1/2 years now and recently had a problem with the hard drive. I decided to replace the hard drive, because it was the fastest solution. The problem I have now is that I can't receive TV on media center. I tried to install qosmio player at the disk to see if it made any difference, but when I run the provided recovery disc software tells me that there is not enough disk space! The laptop came with a 60G hard drive and the new HARD drive manufactured by the same manufacturer is a 150 GB, can someone help me out with this would be appreciated.

    Thank you
    ED.

    Have you tried to install Qosmioplayer initially, then on operating system? If I remember well, on this first portable Qosmio, it was very important to install Qosmioplayer initially.

  • Problem with connector hard drive to spring on T43 motherboard

    My T43 (type 1875) cannot operator unless I am pressing on toward the down on the palm rest above the spring certainly drive connector.  This connector seems to be designed to move upwards & downwards on two positions.  44 pin hard drive seem to connect indirectly to the motherboard via 44 springs in this assembly.  This Assembly should be compressed manually for the system to communicate with the hard drive.

    I do not understand the physical design of this connection?  I certainly do not understand the purpose of this complicated mechanism.  It is part of the protection of the hard drive?

    To correct the problem, I see two possible solutions;  either compress the springs, then bend the stems of alignment to maintain the State of compression, which makes electrical connections or replace the motherboard.

    If someone put me on how I could fix this?

    This is common with the T4x problems and those who have not been carefully reassembled since the Council can become cracked over time especially when door one-handed from a corner as a person would natrually.

    Even models 15 inches and their solid upper bezel can experiencine this issue, but the models 14 inches and the palm rest of split and are the most sensitive.

    The system works when you press the right ALT just below and to the right of the trackpad?

    If you took the palm rest off the power, then press the plug of the battery, it restores the operating system?

    If so, you may be lucky that the Council itself cannot be cracked but it could be the connectors of taking battery BIOS on the Board and in this regard a $3 repair. Cut the connector and replace with a new one or cut and reweld to ensure that the circuit is solid.

    If it is cracked, you can hold with some high quality neoprene since used neoprene "shrink as styrofoam when exposed to heat and pressure. Shim planks will run, but the added stress of ttignehtning it back together can create other pauses as you are bowing the bridge so that the stress has to go somewhere.

    In addition, the system will work better if it remains stationery for a portable shim will pass when the goods are shipped under nomral conditons.

    Finally, the entire system will be brick and you can save or part the rest of it.

  • Satellite A20-S103 - crackling noise with new HARD drive

    Hello together

    I upgraded my laptop A20-S103 with a hard drive Western Digital WD2500BEVE 250 GB running under Windows XP Pro.
    Since then, I have problems with the sound and the movement of the mouse when the CPU usage is high.

    Up to 50% of its use, works well but before I crack and mouse sticks and made jumping movements.
    The BIOS and drivers are updated to the latest versions of Toshiba online.
    After awhile and a lot of research, I got also the HDD running in DMA mode with the IDE4008.exe ALI tool isn't that hard drive is running in PIO mode.

    In addition, I think that the speed of the hard drive is low when the CPU usage is high.

    Please also read http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=89990𕾆 that is showing that I'm not the only one with this problem.

    Anyone know a solution?

    I agree with Akuma. You should try to update the BIOS and drivers from the chipset and see if it works or not.
    It's worth to try ;)

  • How do I set up a dual boot Vista and XP with 2 hard drives?

    Dual boot Vista and XP with 2 hard drives

    I tried to get my computer has a separate hard drive put in place that lets me run Windows XP or Windows Vista. I tried the path of the CMD, but I could do things wrong with that because the news NTLDR appeared much too different info from Vista. Currently, I have deleted this change to the startup configuration. I want to know what I have to do to get these two to be able to boot. I noticed problems similar to mine, but the answer always seems to be a software that would cost me money.

    Thank you

    Tevans95

    Hello Tevans95,

    You cannot install two different operating systems on two different disks. For a dual-boot environment, you must install both XP and Vista on the same drive with different partitions.

    In addition, you must install Windows XP first and then Windows Vista.

    You can check the items below which will give you information on Dual boot.

    Install multiple operating systems (multiboot)

    Set up a dual-boot system

    Change the default operating system for startup (multiboot)

    There is no software that can help you to install XP and Vista on different drives.

    My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also saved to the time capsule. Everything is in 'Data' when I look through the Airport utility. I think that the information that I've lost are still there since I was a Capsule 3 to.

    Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.

    The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.

    Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...

    You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?

    By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?

    Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

  • What does that mean? Hard drive error. Hard drive 1 3F1?

    The product name is hp pavilion dv4-6000

    Error message-

    A failure in the hard drive test indicates a physical problem with the hard drive. In other words, that it should probably be replaced. It is relatively in line with impatience, so you should be able to do it yourself. What is the exact model of the laptop number? I'll find detailed instructions for you.

    In case you do not want to replace the drive yourself, or if you feel that you can still be in warranty, I suggest to contact the HP Support for your region. If you are in the United States / Canada you can contact to the 1-800-474-6836. If you live outside this area, you will need to go to HP's Site's Support.

    In addition, you will need the recovery disc to restore the original operating system.  If you have any earlier, you can contact HP to get them.

  • Blue screen error: 0x0000001a when using system to restore with new hard drive disk

    original title: blue screen error when you use the system disk to restore with new hard drive

    I bought a new hard drive to my computer because the old one gave me a bunch of error messages on screen blues. I installed in the tower and tried to use my restore and system recovery disks that the manufacturer has given me, the process has got to the last disk then asked for the system once again restore disc, and then began to load the last steps and went to blue screen error. I don't know what to do, I mean it's a whole new drive hard, so where could the error come, theres nothing on the hard drive because I have not yet used really, yet. Help, please

    I have finally fixed the problem myself. The problem was that one of the sticks three memory was bad and the only way I could test this error. I took two sticks a left, used disks I had and was able to restore my computer, then I put a stick, turned on the computer, had no errors so I let him, so I put the last stick in and com immediately on, I had the Disconnections: memory management and that's when I knew that the last stick of memory was bad I took it back and now my computer works well and I can't buy more memory for not too. So if someone gets this BOSD error on memory, I'd say 8/10 computers have bad memory (not a number). If youcannot run the tool of diagnosis of memory like me then I would suggest to do what I did with the trial and error, it was the only way to understand the problem. Thanks for your help

  • Possible to replace an SSD with a HARD drive?

    I am currently working on HP Mini 1030nr a friend.  It was sold with a 16 GB SSD and now the operating system broke down.  We decided to go ahead and upgrade to Windows 7, however, the SSD is too small.  I'd rather not go and spend $100 and more on an SSD to replace this one.  I'm able to go out with a HARD drive instead?  16 gb is hardly anything.

    Well, after having read little more on it and opening it up, I discovered that although it CAN be exchanged with a HARD disk, it cannot have a 1.8-inch HARD drive.  I have more of a problem to find these tiny hard drives at a reasonable price.  So, Yes, you can use a HARD drive, but it's almost better just pay the bucks for a new SSD to go through the trouble to obtain one of these mini things.

    Jeroen van Hoef

    Hi Jeroen

    A quick glance on the OVF, you have as far as I can see that you have 1 IDE controller using 'address = 1' this translates to be IDE 1 controller on the motherboard. Controllers IDE are the default devices you'll be controller IDE automatically get to address 0 defined for example the 0 on the motherboard IDE controller.

    Second, you set the CD-ROM to use AddressOnParent = 0, which is the same disc 1 with InstanceId 8 AddressOnParent have.

    A fix for your OVF is therefore to define a second controller ide like

    < item >

    < rasd:Caption > ideController0 < / rasd:Caption >

    < rasd:Description > IDE controller < / rasd:Description >

    < rasd:InstanceId > 20 < / rasd:InstanceId >

    < rasd:ResourceType > 5 < / rasd:ResourceType >

    < rasd:ResourceSubType > PIIX4 < / rasd:ResourceSubType >

    < rasd:Address > 0 < / rasd:Address >

    < rasd:BusNumber > 0 < / rasd:BusNumber >

    < / point >

    map the drive to use it (you can do this by changing the Parent = 2) ide controller.

    It may be useful
