bad cluster

Hello

I have a Dv3-4305se. I have a few bad clusters on my HARD drive and I think the best way is to replace it. Am I wrong?

could you be kind and tell me what type of HARD drive I should looking for?

is this laptop support sata2 or ssd?

my choice is a 1 TB sata2 7200 RPM probably wd or seagate. is it ok? do you another reccomendation?

is there something specific I should consider when I buy one? I mean the dimensions and specifications of the hhd?

Thank you

Hey there Aminam,.

Your computer supports SATA and all SATA drives are compatible. Even if you get 2 SATA or SATA 3 disks, they are backwards compatible and should work fine, just with a lower speed. SSD should also work perfectly with your system, once again to your SATA speed supported (probably lower than that supported by the SSD).

Pretty much any 2.5-inch SSD should work fine in your system.

For the HARD drive, I might suggest you see WD Black series (if you want a 7 200 RPM). They are reliable, with the duration of the guarantee, fast and smooth race and are designed to deliver great performance in laptops. Here's a link: http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=790#Tab2 .

You can also view double WD - WD Black2. It combines a 120 GB SSD with a 1 TB HARD drive in one. Unlike hybrid hard drives, it also gives you the freedom to choose what to store on the SSD part and what to keep in the part of the HARD drive. Here is a link to that too: http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=1190

Hope this helps

  • Installation Cloud Control agent 12 c on other blades thru RPM file and answer sets name of the bad cluster

    Hello

    I hope someone can help me with this. We have installed Cloud control 12 c em and its agents on various machines.

    First, we conducted with the target part two nodes of a network Infra cluster (let's call it proclu_1). Operating system is RH6.

    Then, using the same method (1 / y yum install /tmp/oracle-agt-12.1.0.3.0-1.0.x86_64.rpm then)

    2 / /etc/init.d/oracle-agt RESPONSE_FILE=/usr/lib/oracle/agent/agent.properties) we have installed the agent on the other 2

    blades that are part of another cluster (proclu_2). The agent.properties file that precedes contained only the usual key-value lines:

    OMS_HOST = omsmachine.stuff.be

    OMS_PORT = 4889

    AGENT_REGISTRATION_PASSWORD = ametemp

    AGENT_USERNAME = oracle

    AGENT_GROUP = oinstall

    AGENT_PORT = 3873

    ORACLE_HOSTNAME = promachine.stuff.be

    Now, if I change to the/usr/lib/oracle/agent dir and search for the name "proclu *" from there, I found the name of the

    First install (on the first cluster of proclu_1):

    [oracle@bladb0406 officer] $ pwd

    / usr/lib/Oracle

    [oracle@bladb0406 oracle] $ find. -name "proclu_1."

    ./agent/agent_inst/SYSMAN/EMD/State/has/proclu2/cluster/proclu

    ./agent/agent_inst/SYSMAN/EMD/State/configstate/cluster/proclu_1

    ./agent/agent_inst/SYSMAN/EMD/State/statemgmt/cluster/proclu_1

    ./agent/agent_inst/SYSMAN/log/targets/cluster/proclu_1

    My questions:

    1 / the first two nodes (blada0204 & blada0406) in our first group this 'find' send him back

    same directory names with "proclu_1", this is what we expected: where to look for the agt oracle script

    our cluster name?

    2 / why he put the name of 'proclu_1' even - and evil - on our other two nodes (bladb0204 & bladb0406)?

    (us have expected 'proclu_2'...)

    Is there a way to fix this, or should I reinstall the agent (after you set/change something somewhere

    While it contains the name of the correct cluster...) ??

    Thank you very much.

    Kind regards

    SEB

    Unfortunately, this goes back to the RAC install procedures.   Check the name of the cluster for each cluster.   If they are all the same, installed, then you will need to manually discover/change name when you promote so that your clusters are unique in EM.

    To verify the name together for clusterware installation:

  • NTFS bad block errors in Event Viewer

    I have a Dell 510 m with XP and a Toshiba HD. There are a few bad blocks that I see with the Diagnostic CD. They have not worsened in recent years. Recently, I saw a few 'Bad Block' errors in the event viewer. Diianostic CD shows me a bad block as before.

    My question is: when the Bad Block error, is to say that the ranking system, NTFS marked which also block bad, so he's not getting used again?  Otherwise, CHKDSK (the /R option?) will find the new bad block and mark it unusable?  If not, is there a way to do this?

    There is no option to replace the HD. I just need to keep this laptop going long enough to decide what to buy to replace.

    24 KB in bad sectors. = 6 clusters currently is not a serious problem. However, you must check regularly for some time to ensure that the number does not increase.

    Of course, any bad cluster can be bad news if it coincides with the location of a vital system file.

    You must also use chkdsk for repairs under this part of the report:
    Correcting errors in the Volume Bitmap.
    Windows found problems with the file system.
    Run CHKDSK with the /F (fix) option to correct these.

    Edit, Find with Volume Bitmap use search for more information:

    If you use the /r switch in Chkdsk it tries to fix the bad clusters or move the data to a cluster of good.  CHKDSK will isolate the bad cluster and do not use it.  Maybe it's time to think about replacing the hard drive, it could be near the end of its service life.

    You can perform a restore factory on this hard drive, but you must back up the data that you have on your E drive on an external drive, preferably an external hard drive, because they can be erased.

    You need to install a new hard drive, it must be of equal size or greater than what you have now.  To install the new OS, you will need to use recovery discs that you can order from HP.  If you live in the USA/Canada, call HP at this number 1-800-334-5144 and see if you can still get a set of recovery disks.  Otherwise the site worldwide: http://welcome.hp.com/country/w1/en/support.html

  • Connection SQLFire/server cluster remotely

    I went for the better part of the Guide of the user and tutorials, but from what I saw, all the examples to connect to a SQLFire server or cluster has been done locally (for example "client connection"localhost:1527";"). I have two virtual machines; on one, I created a server SQLFire and data imported into MySQL database, on the other hand that I want to connect says SQLFire database and query it.

    I was able to connect and query the SQLFire server by running the command "sqlf" on the virtual machine hosting the server, then the "customer connect ' localhost: [port]"; "followed by a type of request but I would like to connect to that same server SQLFire of my other virtual computer. When running SQLFire on my other virtual computer and replace "localhost" with the IP address of the virtual machine hosting SQLFire Server (for example "client connection" [IP]: [port]'; "") I get the following error:

    ERROR 08001: SocketException: ' failed after trying all available servers: caused by: ConnectException: connection refused java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect (Native Method)

    I'll on a remote SQLFire/Server bad cluster or is there something I need to set first to make it work correctly?

    Hi Mark

    You must ensure that the server is listening on the IP address rather than localhost (default). Please check that the server startup command as appropriate - customer-link-start address option for example sqlf Server - client-bind-address = [IP] - client-port [port] =...

  • Toshiba Satellite S50 - A - is dead HARD drive?

    Hello.. I hope I can get some answers from other owners of S50 - A or least maybe a tech?... are these discs defective or only supposed to last two years so you get out of your wallet again so Toshiba infiltrates the money from you?

    My father bought this laptop for me for the College and school so I can work and play at the same time it's about 2 years old...

    Model of care &: S50 - A Satellite, model # PSKKEC - 00G 007 - Intel i5 - Geforce GTX A 740 m - to-SATA 1.

    2 years... Since purchasing computers laptops are pretty perfect, I have done regular upward Dungeon defragments hard-ware/anti virus scans and every quarter I ran across a sweep of care system advanced... everything was fine.

    The only games I play quite a lot on this laptop is counter-strike Global Offensive by H1Z1... a week ago, I was on teamspeak and it said that I had a driver error and tells me to restart, I did... and that's where it went all down hill...

    I had a lot of mistakes, lack of funds etc., tried to do a reset from the pc, is not called zero also tried to try a restore of the system without success... hard disk started vibrating and making a 'written' sound (as the disc has been actively writing incredibly fast..) it was so distorted, I couldn't save any recent stuff... (last back up I did was about 3-4 months before)... no all my photos & academic materials are uploaded to servers online, so I was Biggie don't like meh, whatever... I listen to music on spotify so care to lose all that.

    My only option was to format the disk and do a clean install... what worked for one week... was able to update all my drivers download/install geforce experience and my anti virus program, log in to my school credentials and downloaded steam... everything was going a lot and yesterday after a session of one hour of h1z1 I quit the game and when I tried to open my browser google chrome that nothing answered, the button start to reset would not answer the computer literally just does not react anymore than all...

    Forced a restart and got bsod - unmountable_boot_volume - entered the command... prompt he says pretty well sound replacing each bad cluster known to man... nothing was fixed/repaired... do you have a chkdsk c:/r/f and got this - an unspecified error 766f6c756d652e63 3f1

    I am ready to throw in the towel on this... I guess that Toshiba gives a 1 year warranty on all hardware related Articles?... so there is no point in calling me to and ship unless I want to pay an arm and one leg for another 1 TB sata-one that will only last another 2 years?... or should I go to some place local tech and get them to install a crucial 2.5 "500 GB SSD?

    People of any options?... I am open for them.

    Thanks for reading,

    See you soon.

    HARD drive seems defective.
    SSD is a good choice, but avoid those that use a starforce controller, since they have more problems than others.
    The Intel and Samsung SSD seem to be the most compatible.

  • Guaranteed - just change hard drive on the Satellite A100?

    Hi people,

    my girlfriends A100-407 shows really bad cluster errors in Microsoft scandisk, the indexer service research plant always shortly after startup. The laptop is about 23 months, so this should be a matter for the guarantee.

    Because she really need the laptop for his study, I thought to simply by changing the disk hard so that she can use the laptop again immediately after reinstalling windows. Is it possible to send just the hard drive damaged in replacement?

    Thanks for the help!

    The best way would be if you go to a local ASP and ask them.
    They can order a new HARD drive and maybe you can get the defective HARD drive and take a new.

    Of course, you can change the HARD drive by yourself if you wish. You will not lost the warranty if you change the HARD drive.

    Then they advised me to get back to the factory setting and save before I do, then I made backup and also made a recovery CD. Then I ran the Setup program that went well, but windows has not been loaded and blue screen came.

    It restarted again and request to insert a CD while I inserted the cd of restoration which lead me to the same place that I ran from recovery. The difference being it did not run this time when I tried?

  • Update for Windows Vista KB980248: 80070017__ error Code

    I tried to install the update for Windows Vista KB980248 but receive the error Code:80070017

    "There was a similar issue, published with the proposed solution, being (1)" run the Chkdsk.exe too check the drive for errors"and 2" rename the download folder.  The two were not successful.

    I also tried a number of different methods as suggested by MS technical support (see below), but none succeeded, so I hope someone else has also encountered this problem and has a solution.

    The steps I've already done: clean boot. downloaded and installed the update manually; high my privileges as a user profile; Services activated window important; disabled user account control; Run the component tool to reset Windows Update in default; Not Windows Installer and then re-recorded Windows Installer; use the System File Checker. installed the updated system preparation tools.

    Any help appreciated

    After reading the process to carry out a repair for Vista installation, I was not confident I could do given my lack of COMPUTER skills and feared that I would have done something wrong.  But while browsing the site there are other suggestions that I adopted. For example, I downloaded Registry Booster, ran the System File Checker (which I had already done but thought, no harm to do again), and other suggestions are in response to similar questions like mine.  I also ran an another Chk Dsk (I also run this previously).  To restart, as he was driving through the verification process, he said,' windows replaced bad cluster in file name \window\winsxs\x8A9C8~1.226\ 8915cambria.ttc'.  And I was happy, because it was the file you advised has been damaged.  I don't know exactly how it happed, as I said, I had perfomred chk dsk a numer of times before.  I was successfully able to install the update for Window Vista KB980248!  I was so happy after all the anxiety.

    Thank you very much Andrew, for your time, assistance and patience. Very much appreciated.

I borrowed a disc of relocation from a friend, but it was rejected because it was an older version of professional that was on my computer. I contacted Dell, but I was told there was nothing they could do. It is impossible (at least it was for me) to get a response from Microsoft, much less a solution.

  • Hyberfil.sys file

    Do the CHKDSK command, only problem found a bad cluster that windows has replaced name hiberfil.sys. Checking is at step 5 5 55% verified. Should I consider buying a new hard drive?  I read that I have to disable hibernation, then delete the file...

    You shouldn't give up on your hard drive based on this bit of evidence.  You can visit the website of the manufacturer of your hard drive (probably from Western Digital, Seagate and Toshiba, decreasing probability) and get their diagnostic program.  You can delete hiberfil.sys and it will be recreated.  You can do the same thing by disabling the Hibernate, restart, and then turn it back on.

  • How to fix error 8007045 D message when you perform a backup of windows?

    I got in trouble, make a backup of Windows of the Sony VAIO laptop from a parent on a 1 TB drive "My Passport".

    Backup failed to complete (the system image + backup windows).

    When I did a regular backup of Windows, all files selected by Windows, it worked.

    When I then try to make the system 'image' backup, I get the following:

    ===========================================================
    The operation failed because of a device error encountered with the source or the destination.  If the volume of the source or the destination is on a disk, run CHKDSK /R on the source volume or destination and then retry the operation.  (0x8078012D)

    Additional information:
    The request could not be performed because of an i/o device error. (0x8007045D)
    ===========================================================

    I ran CHKDSK /R on Passport drive, and it passed.
    The USB is formatted to NTFS, if that's relevant.

    When I accessed the system utility checks the C drive, he had me to restart the computer and the drive for errors on a reboot of audit, but which did not find any problem.   I guess I need to start from a CD instead of starting from the hard disk, in order to be able to run the "CHKDSK/r" on the C: drive as well as two other partitions.

    Am I missing something?  Should I use the "boot CD" we created, boot in the BACK and then do the CHKDSK /R on the C drive?

    (I'm really uncomfortable about messing around with C drive until I have a backup, but because of a possible problem on the C drive, I can't do the backup... or is there something else I need to do next?)

    Thanks for all the suggestions; I'm going to go through one by one, so I can learn about them.

    This afternoon I contacted support for Microsoft Windows and had a "chat" with one of the support technicians.  He told me to START to > ACCESSORIES > COMMAND PROMPT that I clicked on and does: "run as administrator.

    I then entered: chkdsk /f /r so that I was in a directory on the C drive.

    (I'm guessing / r means read all the information and the /f to fix any problems that are found).

    The computer has restarted and began a long inspection of the C drive, taking about two or three hours or more.   Meanwhile, he finds two clusters defective and added to the table 'bad cluster.  I took a picture of the screen, so I don't know what file he has identified as having problems.

    The process is complete, the computer restarts, and I was able to make the "system image" backup without any problem.

    Thanks for your help.  Between you and other colleagues at Microsoft, not only, I know what it takes the next time, I have a better understanding of what is happening.  (How to mark this discussion as "resolved"?)

  • How to back up and restore the system and program files to install new OS

    Hey all,.

    I recently bought a new Toshiba 1 TB HARD drive. My old WD 1 TB HARD drive was giving me the end. occasionally, I get the BSOD. In addition, on occasion, when I restart the computer it automatically runs chkdsk program and reported several bad clusters. However the chkdsk program never seems to report the bad clusters, so periodically, when I restart, it runs and bring back them again.

    I would like to the image or to back up all the files on my HARD drive problem, then do a fresh install of Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit (my current operating system) to the new HARD disk, and then restore the clone or image system and program files on the new HARD drive. I don't want to go through the process of reinstall all again, when everything seems to work very well. Given that the image of Win 7 program makes and accurate picture of the HARD drive, then use this program would cause the new installation of Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit to be replaced by the restoration of the image. Therefore, if there should be corrupted data under a bad cluster of old HARD drive, that data would not be transferred and my existing problem would be transferred to the new HARD drive.

    On the other hand, if I do a clone of disc, I'm not sure that existing programs would continue to operate on the new HARD drive and would require a new install of each program based on the new installation of the operating system Win 7! I would have then lost my time to make a transfer of program/data files to my newly formatted and freshly installed OS.

    Anyone know of any program (Acronis True Image, Paragon, Norton Ghost, Macrium Reflect, etc) that will allow you to image or clone the program and data (including the operational needs of the files such as: Win32 system files, files of activation, etc.) so that they will work properly on the new installation of the operating system?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Have a great day.
