  Hello

  It sounds a bit like a HARD drive problem.
  I recommend checking out the HARD drive using a free tool called Drive Fitness Test
  This free tool allows you to get more details on the State of the HARD drive and maybe some error would be detected which would mean that HARD drive failures and disk HARD must be replaced.

• Alternative to the reset by Satellite A660 for potential HARD drive problem

  In the last week or two, I got a few blue screens, saying he was driving demand, and that windows must be shut down to avoid damage my computer.

  I have just restart and continue working.
  The last time it happened, I had repeatedly "initialization failed" and it says hdd, SDS, fdd. If I pressed the power button until I didn't see no signs of activity, then started. Things went well. I called Toshiba support and they recommended that I go home and save my files before continuing. It took hours selectively to clean, sort the previous backups, and a small footprint of the backup system.

  When I called Toshiba once again, they recommended a "takeover", which is restoring the factory settings. It puts me in the stone age. I have to go through a never-ending process of the upgrade to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, install and reconfigure all the applications and environments/configurations, etc. It will essentially take on holiday, if not more. I'll also have to get another computer (maybe a netbook) to stay in touch while I restart my laptop. It's barely more than a year.

  Is there a diagnosis I can do to determine the probability that there is a hard drive problem? Support for Toshiba said that is the surest way, because it provides a diagnostic F10 for the hard disk code, and it also pushes the bad sectors at the end of the disc (logically, I suppose, since you can't physically move a fault).

  > About Hitachi DFT, is it important that my HARD drive is Toshiba mk6465gsx? This is what is displayed "Hard drives" in the Device Manager.

  It s no matter what HARD drive manufacturer, it is the Drive Fitness Test is able to scan all hard drives to find errors.

  > Also, http://www.hitachigst.com/support/downloads/#DFTshows links to create boot disks, but I was wondering if I could create a bootable instead.

  Not sure if this is possible if there is that one option to create a startup disk, and then a flash stick does not work. But of course you can try this out.

  > This laptop does not come with a floppy drive, and I still create coasters trying to burn discs.
  You don't need the floppy drive, the tool must create a disk bootable (CD)

  > I guess that the same question can be asked on Memtest86. Another issue is the relevance of Memtest86 for my system. My c drive has a "Program Files" folder, but also a "Program Files (x 86)" folder for 32-bit applications. Memtest86 is for the x 86 architecture. I don't know if my 64-bit Windows 7 involves a non - x 86 architecture.

  I guess that Memtest86 should also work on Win 7 64 bit systems. But also the MemTest 4.20 is 64-bit capable

• ADDING A HARD DRIVE PROBLEM

  I have a HP Pavilion, model a1610n desktop, (product # RC652AA-ABA, Serial # CNH6348FK), running Service Pack 3 Windows XP Media Center.

  I asked and received good advice from this forum to improve my memory. I now have a question related to the addition of a hard drive, and I'm afraid that my question will be the basis for the level of this forum, but HP wants to load a large male same answer via a phone tech so here goes.

  I just install a second disk of 250 GB and it does not appear in my computer when I boot. I was advised at MicroCenter, where I took the reader it might be necessary to format the drive, but I can not format which does not appear to be selected. Is there a reference somewhere that guides one through the process of A) get the computer to recognize the new disk and B) how to format correctly?

  Please note that the first time I did anything either inside a computer has been when I opened the case the first time and plugged in some cards memory, fortunately, just working out of the rifle.

  My ultimate goal is to use this second internal drive for all my multimedia, audio and video files and my C drive for the operating system and programs. I have to order an external 1 TB drive to back up the whole works outdoors. Any guidance would be appreciated... TT

  Is the new hard drive of 250 GB SATA or IDE? Do yourself a favor and stick with a SATA hard drive, if that's what is already installed as your main hard drive. Installation of SATA and IDE drives can be a bit complicated.

  Did you go in Control Panel of--> administration--> computer management tools? This is where you should see a new drive listed in RAW format. This is also where you can initialize, partition, and format the drive. . Until you initialize, partition and format the drive it will not see in my computer.

  Kind regards

• External hard drive problem (cannot delete files)

  I have an external hard drive that I use Windows XP and I am now on Vista 64-bit. I have no problem to access the files on the disk, adding of new files or move files on the hard drive. However, I can't delete the files located on the hard drive. If I right click on the folder or file, the Remove option * literally * does not appear in the menu. I'm on the administrator account (only the account that was created).

  The problem may be somewhere around this: if I right click on a file and goto Properties, read-only is enabled. If I disabled it and save, it acts like it is the application in the directory and all its subdirectories. When I return to the properties, it is again read only. I guess that the problem lies somewhere in the present.

  Any suggestions? This has been an incredible pain for many months.

  Thank you

  Hello Yuhatn,

  Thank you for posting.  Your problem is related to the file ownership.   You will need to change the permissions of the file/folder to be able to remove it.  You can do this by right-clicking on the file/folder and selecting the Security tab.  Once there, you can change the permissions of your account regarding this file/folder.  You may need to do this for all files in a folder to be able to delete the folder.  There is a 3rd party tools that will allow you to add this feature in the right click menu.

  Please let me know if this helps you. Zack

• Second hard drive problems

  I have a Dell Precision 380 and that you just added a second hard drive, a SATA 750 GB WD. I use Windows XP pro.

  I have problems with this drive. When I start the machine it takes forever to get to the login screen. After I got the new drive connection is not visible in Windows Explorer. If I restart the machine, so it loads quickly and everything is OK. Then everything is OK either re-booting or switch to standby mode.

  However, if I closed and leave it for a long period of time (at night) and re - start the problem above apperas yet and I have to wait as the login screen and restart.

  If I go to sleep mode during the night and then 'wake up the machine' the next day morning I get several disk writeback:------$fMt error messages. I have to reboot the machine for everyone to be OK.

  I have formatted/re-formatted and partitioned the drive several times (NTFS) partition/disk layout is OK.

  I start to think that maybe the BIOS does not like Western Digital drives.

  Any information appreciated.

  Thank you

• iMac hard drive problem

  My older iMac 8.1 (Intel Core 2), running OS x 10.9 ran slow, then a few application icons disappears from the display, after a restart, the application has stopped working completely. I tried to reinstall OSX, when this does not work, I did a full erase and reinstall it again, still none of my apps does not work. It manifests itself, and when I click it, it does nothing. I even went back to my original OSX 10.6 Snow Leppard and reinstalled drive and my desktop icons appeared for a few minutes and then everthing disappeared. Also, this has happened during execution of 10.9 as well. Now the only thing that the computer be used to mail is electronic and Safari. I can't run programs and do not have access to HD. If I tried to re - install 10.9, it tells me that it is impossible at this time. I think that my HD is dead? You wanted to check before I replaced it. It starts well, can run internet but not impossible to install, download or run programs. Disk First aid indicates that the computer is fine. Can not really afford to buy a new Mac now, so hoping that this can be a cheaper alternative.

  How much free space on the hard drive?

  There is no 100% way to check the health of a hard disk. Disk utility check alone is doing a part-time job to check the directory structure but not physical integrity of the reader. If you select the top level of a drive in disk utility and then file > retrieves the information of to half way down you can see the report of the SMART State which can indicate if a drive is having problems.  With one of my discs that I checked that feature, but it was not picking up on several defective sectors systematically producing errors.

  The only real way to test a faulty hardware on a computer is to isolate the part (normally in the replacement, or do without it) and see if the issues go away.

  I always keep a clone bootable backup of my drive on a separate drive so I can still boot from the second disk to see if it's an internal drive error.  Having this type of backup is just a part of the ownership of a computer.

  I suppose there is also the possibility, it's another problem as the RAM.  A bad drive would be more consistent as to what elements show problems such as you see.

  You can check on sites like ifixit or OWC (macsales.com) for instructional videos on how to replace the disks.

• Internal hard drive problem

  I just hard drive of my laptop, replaced by a service center because it is still under warranty. They replaced my old hard drive with a HTS541040G9SA00 that when I search on the internet I discovered that is made by HITACHI, im wondering if it is safe to use this drive or is it compatible with my computer toshiba laptop and that i will not be a problem to use it. Thank you!!!

  If a service is to swap your disk that worry Don t, they must use original parts. So if your hard drive is not available, they had to use a spare part which is compatible, too.

  I had the same situation with my machine. I got a samsung player, then, after a headcrash I brought to a service partner and they exchanged the drive and put a toshiba in there. I asked them the same question you have posted and they said the same thing what I you said. ;)

  So I just give you a little information. :)

• Satellite A100: UNMOUNTED_BOOT_VOLUME HARD drive problem

  My A100 (XP media edition) does not start at the top is normal, safe mode (all types), the last known config as the recovery disk does not work. Error message is unmounted_boot_volume.

  Is there a solution?
  is that what the recoverable data?
  If the new HARD drive is purchased the recovery disk allows you to reinstall the OS?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Robbo88

  As far as I know this error message appears if the HARD drive boot sector is damaged.
  Usually, the new installation of the operating system should help to get rid of this problem.

  If you cannot boot from the recovery CD, I would recommend the original Microsoft windows XP CD boot and start the repair console. Here, you can use the fixmbr command to repair the boot sector.

  Of course, this problem can be caused by a HARD disk failure.
  In this case, the HARD drive must be replaced.

• Satellite A210 - 17l BIos update to take care of advanced format HARD drive problem

  Hi all

  Really hoping someone can help me with this.

  My old HDD not was not so I cloned the entire disc before it failed. -Just in time, too.

  I ordered a new drive - it's a WD scorpio black - Advanced format.

  Unfortunately I can't get my picture on this new album.

  Also, I am unable to do a reinstall with the original restore also cd because it doesn't have service pack 1 and that means that it can't recognize the HD.

  In any case id prefer to be able to restore my image and not make a re-install when even if possible.

  So my question is this:

  Y at - it an update of the bios I can ask my another pc version 2.00 is available which will include options to change the options of ide drive - ahci?

  It's the only solution I can think of-bearing in mind I do not have an operating system installed, so the alignment tools are not an option as another fix. -Fast technology of storage Intel drivers do not work, because I have an AMD athlon processor.

  So is there any BIOS I can Flash my computer with to activate the options mentioned?

  I have a method to Flash the bios with a BONE, so this isn't a problem.

  Also other suggestions for workaround on this more than welcome.

  Thanks :))

  Hello

  Update BIOS don t help you. To my knowledge, it does not add additional options such as a switch between AHCI and compatible mode.
  In addition, you can use ANY BIOS. You must use the BIOS that came out for the model of laptop. But as I said, this isn't a solution.

  In addition, the image of Toshiba already contains all the drivers in order to install the system. It s any SP1 isn t the image part.

  I guess you're talking about Vista OS, given that the laptop came with pre-installed Vista OS. http://www.Toshiba.co.UK/discontinued-products/Equium-A210-17I/

  I recommend you format the HARD drive first.
  Use a tool called Gparted. You can create a bootable USB key containing this tool.
  This allows to start Notepad in order to format the HARD drive.

• Portege 7220 - replacement hard drive problem

  I have a Portege 7220 CTe Windows 98se. The hard drive is deteriorating slowly (bad sectors), so I decided to replace it. The old drive is a Toshiba 6 GB. The news is an IBM/Hitachi Travelstar 10 GB - so-called and apparently unused but dated from 01 Sept.

  Summary: the drive has worked once in the Portege, but doesn't work anymore. It continues to operate through a USB interface to another system.

  I did the following. (I don't know that there are a lot of unimportant details, I just can't tell who might be relevant):

  -Checked the new drive with Hitachi Drive Fitness Test. Ran on the Portege, booting from CD in the docking station. The perfect extract player.
  -Make a backup image the old drive on another computer (XP desktop computer) using a USB box and the reflection of Macrium.
  -Restored the image to the new drive (using the same USB box).
  -In Ran XP Scandisk and defragmentation on the restored drive (no problem, does significant defrag)
  -Cleanly removed from the XP system USB and road of the housing
  -Put the new, restored in car in the Portege and turned on.

  The system could not start, (indirectly) saying that HIMEM. SYS was missing. I plugged the drive into the XP system. Indeed \WINDOWS\HIMEM. SYS was missing, along with the rest of the content of \WINDOWS. The rest of the matching content to the backup. ???????

  I copied \WINDOWS to the backup image to the new drive. Neatly removed from the XP system and put in the Portege.

  Starting from Win98 system. I tried to start a random application and become system that is not responding.

  From this point, I may have not all the actions in the order, but I doubt that counts. I tried the following:

  -Hitachi Drive Fitness Test running. He first found the drive but returned an error 'drive not ready '. After repeated attempts to re-seat assigned, check on the XP system, etc it is unable to find the drive to all the
  -Go into the BIOS at startup. Sometimes found the drive, sometimes not.
  -Office XP still recognizes the player very well via the USB interface. ScanDisk is happy with it, including the surface scan. Hitachi utility only works with ATA or SCSI disks, and I do not have an ATA desktop-laptop adapter.
  -Made a new restoration of the saved image. It worked well, but the Portege wouldn't even find the drive.
  -Tried the old drive and a travelstar 6 GB to another system in the Portege. Both work very well.
  -Tried the new disk in a Portege 7020. Do not just like in the 7220.

  I thought maybe it was a power issue. But the two Travelstars (one that works and a new one that doesn't) are valued at 500 my. The old disk from Toshiba which also always works is estimated at 700mA.

  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Apparently, there's something wrong with your 10 GB travelstar, maybe the MBR or the boot sector

  the fact that you can read with a USB connector doesn't mean that the HD is correct, since you do not need the boot sector of this way

  I would advice to wipe it completely (with cleandisk or boot-TI-NG), make a new partition with fdisk and reformat the HD in fat32 format

  That to do a fresh install with W98, or better: W2000, which spans a 7220 easily and is much better

  It is best to copy the directory to install W2000, integer i386 installation CD - on the 10 GB HD (which can be done on another PC with a USB connection) and begin the installation of BACK with Windows NT. EXE

• Satellite P200 mainboard and HARD drive problem

  Hiya,

  I had my Satallite Pro for only 3 years.
  During the past year I had problems with the HARD drive and at one point broke and I had it replaced, it worked for about 2 months and who broke. I got another HARD drive, and now it has broken.

  I took it to a repair shop independent who say it could be a problem with the motherboard or the Starter connections, or perhaps love to him. ???

  I rang toshiba and I didn't have only a years warranty, so my main questions are:

  (1) how much approximately will it take to get fixed

  (2) is it useful

  (3) is it successful.

  I'm not sure to get if fixed at 100% I know I can't afford a new to the same specification as that time.

  Any help or advice will be approciated.

  Hi mate

  To be honest, a motherboard is a laptop computer cheap party.
  If it of really a motherboard problem and if you have to replace the motherboard to solve this problem, then you must know that this could really be a costly affair

  I'm not quite sure how a new motherboard might be, but I think that you will have spent about 300-350 Euros
  That s a lot of money so it s your own decision of what's best for you. buy a new laptop or pay for a fix.

  If I was you I'll sell this laptop and would like to buy a new unit.

• Re: Satellite Pro P100 of hard drive problem.

  Hello

  Uh, to sum up my problem, a vital file... or two, has been deleted by a rather malicious Trojan horse, I had a week or two it y a. I had cleaned it the command registry and such and everything was fine. Until I tried a disc to my hard drive... The unit seems to recognize that there is a disc in there and I checked because nothing "seems to" be physically wrong with it. He won't read it. So my question, is there a link to download or something or another or not, that could lead me to a place where I could safely re - download the drive of files for the Pro P100.

  And yah... I have no experience of the computer, or similar, so I just ask a pretty silly question. xD

  Hello

  If the problem is Windows related, you should be able start from the CD or DVD without any problem. So I recommend this audit with the recovery disk or other bootable disk.

  If you can't start t with him, the drive is may be defective or the lens needs to be cleaned with a Microfiber cloth.

  Good luck!
