Drive HARD keeps falling asleep after a minute on my Satellite M40

Satellite M40x-175.

I've updated the BIOS with the latest version (1.60), and since the disc hard continues to fall asleep after a minute, no matter the power Windows or Toshiba Power Saver Settings.

Toshiba will be out an updated BIOS update soon?

Help, please.

Hello

I put t think that it s a bad BIOS function. As far as I know in the BIOS, you can change the settings for the HARD drive. Please check. Moreover, Toshiba Power Saver disabled power Windows settings. Have you checked the parameters of energy saving modes?

Good bye

    2. under status, select the disk to defragment.

    3. to determine whether the disk should be defragmented or not, click Analyze disk.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    Once Windows is finished analyzing the disk, you can check the percentage of disk fragmentation in the last run column. If the number is greater than 10%, you must defragment the drive.

    4. click on defragment disk. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  • Replace drive hard hp pavilion dm3 after failure of hard drive test.

    All,

    I have a HP Pavilion Dm3. Windows 8 Beta. My error messages included: drive hard Test failed. Hard disk 1 (303) fast. Hard drive 1 full (395). Most recent upload has itunes. From what I see I need to replace my hard drive.

    My question is this; is there a manual or a guide on how to, 1. physically, replace the hard drive and 2. record information that may exist on my hard drive crashed? Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hello:

    There are many models of dm3.

    I pulled a repair of the dm3-2000 series. I hope that this layout is the same.

    Read Chapter 4 of the procedure on the removal and replacement of the hard disk. Do not throw the old hard drive.

    You will need to the caddy, the connector and screw to transfer to the new.

    http://bizsupport1.Austin.HP.com/BC/docs/support/SupportManual/c01893277/c01893277.PDF

    Before you remove the hard drive, you can see if you can copy your files on a USB portable hard drive by downloading, burn it to a CD (using the ISO burning method) and make a the Kapersky rescue CD bootable CD. This will allow you to see the folders on your C:\ drive using the method of the graphical interface of the program execution.

    Then you can copy and paste your files on your portable hard drive.

    If the rescue CD can not see your hard drive, there's probably nothing you can do anything to the drive for recovery.

  • drive hard keeps disconnecting

    not long ago, I bought a seagate 2 TB backup more hard drive (I think his name?) and not long after that I got it he began to act up, the hard drive itself works absolutely well but every now and then it will automatically disconnects neatly from my laptop, I have a mid 2012 15' mac pro which is in great need of upgrading and I receive the mac air the next month but it's quite annoying when your at half way through your files and it disconnects without warning. Does it randomly and even if I shift the wire slightly or sometimes even if not shift the wire or move the laptop at all always unplug it. has anyone else had this problem before? If so how to solve it? It's weird because when I'm in charge my ipad/phone with apple usb, I don't have problems with them, so I think it's just a really loose usb cable but is there anyway I could connect it wireless? This would be ideal, but I didn't buy a wireless hard drive, but they are too expensive

    Based on my experience wih other external Seagate, the problem could be a faulty cable or a faulty case. I deal with two external Seagate whose pens were bad, specifically the removable base containing power/data connectors. In one case, Seagate sent me a replacement base and that solved the problem. The other drive was out of warranty. So I extracted from its enclosure and installed in a decent House, after which he worked perfectly. However, you should also check your energy saving settings. It is possible that they interfere with file transfers.

    I wouldn't buy anything external to WD, Seagate drives, etc. I buy some player I want and install it in a good, such as OWC or Oyen digital body. I also tried Inateck and Anker, inexpensive cases with good results so far. These boxes make it easy to Exchange discs inside or outside for troubleshooting purposes, and you have the advantage of knowing exactly what player you are using. You can also use a USB 3 dock in this situation.

  • Drive hard keeps fills, using CC Cleaner & Deffrag for a few weeks now. I do go down, & then it fills again! Help, please.

    I'm running Vista 64, SP2 and my hard drive keeps filling.

    I used CC Cleaner and Deffrag program for a few weeks now.

    (just the CC Cleaner on its own takes me awhile because I don't want to delete everything I shouldn't)

    I have moved away from home to the office and checked to see if there are "too many connections (?)" just in case it's something in the process.  Honestly, I can't say if there are too many?

    I know that I don't want to lose the ability to remote into my office... so I leave them alone.

    I wanted to delete some 'hidden' files $Recycle... but am concerned that my operation files original files are mixed in the files?

    Is there a way to return to the top... few of the restoration copies?

    AND... How can I stop this from happening?  I spent hours trying to manage it.

    It comes down, then it fills again!

    Help, please.

  • My drive hard wd crashed. After the replacement, the computer is located on the blue HP screen. Help.

    My 1 TB WD drive crashed.  I replaced it with another disk of 1 TB WD.  When I turn on the computer and insert the recovery disk, nothing happens.  It is located on the blue HP screen.  I hit esc, nothing.  I hit F11, nothing.  I'm stuck.  Probably something simple, but I can not understand.

    Hello brackman63, this is possible, but I have never had this problem in more than 25 years of working on computers

    You can see if you can install a Sata addon hard drive controller card. There are some of them which are not very expensive. There is of course no guarantee that it would work.

    If the disk controller hard motherboard is defective, then the original hard disk can still be good.

    Just some thoughts.

  • repartition the drive hard hp windows 7 after format

    My July 2009 HP Pavilion dv7 required recovery time and restore even a 4th "boot-level! However, THIS time he did not reinstall the OS (original Vista, upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit OEM)! I have tried for a week and do not renounce a compurer almost 500 GB GOOD laptop that I KNOW CAN WORK.

    I'm NOT a geek, but I'M old enough (50) to be accepted BASIC BACK in College. Yet, not all orders are accepted. I have to use my drive to repair Windows at startup (internal CD drive), external CD drive of my husband for ANY other CD - DVD for playback / recognized by the computer, many jumpdrives loaded with Boot Recovery data, a 1.5 to copies WITH the original external drive and upgrade CD, in the hope that the operating system has access only Since he has trouble with his own CD - DVD player.

    I have executed dozens of diagnostics, reset the BIOS by default, changed the boot sequence to access recovery devices, I copied all THE original data of the disk partition recovery and the X:\Boot partition on drive C:\.

    When I try to reinstall Windows 7, running indefinitely at the Stage 2 "Install Windows" or it gives me an error message: "Setup could not create a new partition or system to locate a system partition. See logs of installation for more information". (WHERE I have no idea they are!)

  • Can not read the HARD disk capacity properly after the upgrade on my Satellite A135-S2276

    I have a Satellite A135-S2276 and I recently updated my 80 gig HDD with a 320 GB HARD drive and drive C shows only 72 GB of available not the 300 - ish that it should have. I did some research and it seems that it should be there, perhaps simply not visible? Update the BIOS?

    Any suggetions?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    I think that the A135-S2276 supports SATA HDD so I doubt that the issue of the LBA48bit could be the reason.

    I found the details here on the Toshiba page we:
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/modelContent.jsp?CT=DL&OS=&category=&MOID=1596141& rpn = PSAD6U & modelFilter = A135-S2276 & SelCategorie = 3 & selFamily = 1073768663

    In your case, I would recommend formatting the disk HARD whole again.
    In addition, you should check the size of the HARD drive in the BIOS.

    Generally, if the HARD drive has been recognised in the BIOS correctly then the OS should see all 320GB too.

  • Satellite Pro L20 - disk hard keeps spinning down

    Hi, I have recently updated the BIOS on my Toshiba Satellite Pro L20, and I noticed that the disk hard keeps spinning down after about a minute, even while typing or surfing on the internet. I checked the power settings Windows XP and have it put on the desk, with the time 'Disable hard drive' set to 5 minutes when it is plugged and 5 minutes on battery (I always use on the same network). I checked the BIOS settings to see if there is something listed there, but there are no settings for hard disk power management in the BIOS.

    Although the turning down of the hard disk does not affect performance, I fear that it may be to focus on rising constant power drive / descent.
    The new version of BIOS is 25 April 06 Windows Bios Update for Satellite L20 (PSL2X), Satellite Pro L20 (PSL2Y) and Equium L20 (PSL2Z)', or a file 2, 20 - WIN.

    I think that it s nothing unusual that the HARD drive keeps spinning down applies none or BONES need the HARD disk activity.
    In addition, the turning down of the HARD drive has no effect from the bottom on the performance of the HARD disk or over the life of the HARD drive.
