Disk failure HARD Tecra R950-104

Hello

I have a Toshiba Tecra R950-104 with almost a year.
Everything works fine except the HARD drive.

In this period (almost on the year), I got 2 hard drive failure (hdd 2 had to be replaced!).
Fortunately the issues occurs within the warranty period.

Y at - it problems with this machine, about the drive HARD (it's a 500 GB, 7200 RPM Toshiba HDD).

Thank you

Hello

HARD drive problems do not portable but depend on the use of HARD drive and use of portable.
The HARD drive is a wearing part. Sooner or later every HARD drive was going to die.

This problem can occur because the HARD drive is affected by shocks while moving the laptop. In addition, there a lot of different hard drives on the market. Some are less expensive because of the low quality and some HDD cost more because of good quality.

If you keep the eyes on the quality of the HARD drive.
But to be honest, I would never buy a laptop HARD drive. I replaced my HARD drive with an SSD. Its much faster and more sustainable as a HARD drive

    Hello

    I found on the internet some UltraSlim SATA HDD/SSD mounting frame that allow the use of 2nd 2.5 HDD/SSD drive instead of ODD in Notepad Tecra R950 but to be honest I m not 100% sure if the BIOS recognize such additional device.

    I know that computers Toshiba laptop (Portege and Tecra) series different takes in charge these updates in the past but this replacement was not supported by each laptop model.

    It depends on the BIOS and in the event that the BIOS recognize the 2nd HDD/SSD drive, the system should be able to recognize 2nd HARD drive

  • Can I use the Modem 3 G on my Tecra R950-104?

    I have a Tecra R950-104, and when I remove the battery, there is a 3 G Sim Card slot, just like it says in the manual.

    The problem is that Windows (Win 7 64 bit) does not recognize any 3G modem in the computer.

    So, this means that only some models have the modem, but all have the slot for the sim card?

    I have already installed the 3 G Modem driver, downloaded from the Toshiba site, the driver has been installed without any problem, I have a Sim card that works - tested in a 3 G USB Modem - but still I can't do any connection because Windows does not even a modem.

    You are right, some models have the 3G module inside and, unfortunately your model does not have it.

    Since the hard drive has not, you would not be able to access the partition recovery on it. Data would be lost and the software already installed on your computer will need to be reinstalled.

  • Disk failure hard satellite L650-12N - replaced with SSD - how to recover?

    My HARD drive has failed, so I bought a 256 GB SSD Crucial CT256MX100SSD1. I installed it in the laptop and went to use the recovery CD. It's the bit score correctly as far as I can tell, but to cut a long story short, I think that the recovery disk is missing a few vital pieces of information (read below - I may be wrong).

    So, how do for Satellite L650-12N new recovery discs?

    Thank you
    RQ

    After the partition, it then says "copy files of database recovery.
    some random jargon

    Then he said: «unpack the OS and system/WinRE»
    Set of RECO...
    It says "copy F:\ZZImg\11353XSP.swm to V:\HDDRecovery\SWImg 1/10
    1 file (s) copied.
    Copy of the CRC files
    1 file (s) copied.
    Copy F:\ZZImg\11353XSP2.swm to V:\HDDRecovery\SWImg 2/10
    1 file (s) copied.
    Copy of F:\ZZImg\11353XSP3.swm to V:\HDDRecovery\SWImg 3/10
    1 file (s) copied.
    Copy of F:\ZZImg\11353XSP4.swm to V:\HDDRecovery\SWImg 4/10
    1 file (s) copied.
    Copy of F:\ZZImg\11353XSP5.swm V:\HDDRecovery\SWImg 5/10
    1 file (s) copied. »

    at this stage it says ' insert the next recovery media (containing the F:\ZZImg\11353XSP6.swm file)!
    but the backup I did only has one drive.

    Hmm, for me, it seems that some image packages are missing.
    According to your message, the recovery image must contain 10 packs, but the first recovery disc provides only 5 packages.
    Should be so 2nd drive providing other packages to complete the recovery procedure.

    I m wondering if you already used the recovery disc (CD) in the past.
    Are you sure that this recovery disc has been done correctly 100%?

    From my point of few recovery disk is defective and to recover the laptop, you need a good way to return to work.
    Usually this can be ordered here:

    Hello

    I agree with the user above. Replacing the HARD drive is easy and can be done in a few minutes. On the underside, remove the cover of the HARD drive which is fixed by screws, and then you can exchange the HARD drive.

    Reinstalling Windows, to the disk recovery Toshiba or a disk of Microsoft. All drivers and tools can be downloaded from the Toshiba site.

  • disk failure hard compaq presario cq62-231nr

    My compaq presario cq62-231nr (product # XC434UA #aba) stopped working last week and I took it into the store of the computer it is diagnosed. They said that the hard drive has failed and they were unable to get all the files out of it. They wanted about $200 to fix so I just brought home. I bought a hard drive to it (500 GB hitachi) and when I install it myself. I have 4 dvd recovery disks that I made for her when I bought it there are 1 1/2 years. Never done this before so I am a little worried about smooth how it will go. My questions are:

    1-will the recovery discs works

    2 - 500 GB hard drive will I put actually no difference from the old hard drive was a 320 GB

    3 - What steps should I take after I put my hard drive in and start it (insofar as the use of the recovery discs)?

    4 - I need a key at any time in this process? I don't have one that I know of.

    Any help is appreciated!

    Hey, Dan:

    You are the very welcome.

    You have almost...

    When you turn on your PC for the first time after installing the new hard drive, you must press the F9 key to the HP welcome screen.

    This will give you a few startup options.  Your DVD player should appear as one of these options.

    Don't do anything about the selection who again. First, open the DVD drawer and insert the diskette 1 of your set of recovery disks. Close the door and wait a moment – just a few seconds.

    Then select the DVD - ROM drive in the list of the bootable devices in the list of startup options.

    Follow the instructions on the screen.

    You never know how long will last the electrical components.  This is why it is always advisable to keep the backup files.

    There's an old saying... "It is not a question of if a hard drive will fail, but a matter of time."

  • What to do after a disk failure hard when the latest version was an "Upgrade".

    I recently had a hard drive failure and had to buy a new desktop PC Summit. I have the most recent version is the upgraded version of LR 6 (bought for download). My question is, can I just download this version on the new PC? Or do I have to go back and download the first 'full' version, I bought (LR 3) and then download the upgrade to LR6?

    Hi twoedmunds,

    Just download Lightroom 6 on the new system and enter the serial number upgrade, once you enter the serial number upgrade, it will ask you to select the base product (Lightroom 3) and then apply the serial number for it, that's all you need to do.

    See the download link for Lightroom 6:Install Photoshop Lightroom

    Let us know if that helps.
