• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

  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

• IS does not recognize the drive HARD internal

  I have three, all from a school lab, that have been linked with other positive points and printers.

  They are connected are not together anymore.

  All three have a floppy drive and a HARD drive. Will only boot from the HARD drive.

  At startup, the other two do not recognize their HARD drive and I use ea disk with the system in this regard.

  Since hard drives are not 'seen' I am unable to do anything with them: fix, set up as a boot drive, etc.

  They begin with the usual chimes and the Mac with the question mark, I slip the disk in and they complete commissioning.

  The internal drive spin up and the indicator light flashes.

  They do not show the drive HARD internal on the screen, but will show an external.

  I haven't started to swap parts between the good and the other two.

  Does anyone have an idea on how to activate an invisible HARD drive?

  You will need to use the boot floppy disks to start the machines to run the repair disk, partition and format the HARD drive if it is still functional. Only then can you install Mac OS on the HARD drive. That's all that I remember.

• New drive HARD & OS errors-> HP 8000 Elite Small Form Factor PC

  New drive HARD & OS errors---> HP 8000 Elite Small Form Factor PC
  
  Can not install Win XP on another hard drive
  
  I work with a...
  HP Compaq 8000 Elite Small Form Factor PC
  
  Original SATA HDD is loaded with Windows 7 Pro.
  
  In order to install a program using this PC as a digital video recorder
  I installed the video capture PCI card and related software. I had problems
  associated with software and Windows 7.
  
  I know that the software works with Windows XP.
  Do not want to remove the original HDD, I tried my win7
  to replace the HARD drive and do a clean install of XP.
  
  I get the same error during the installation of the OS.  I tried different
  SATA and different XP install disks.
  
  The error I get is shown in this photo.

  

  Original HP HARD drive is a Hitachi 160 GB
  
  I tried 2 known to be good SATA drives.
  Seagate 500GB
  WD 80 GB
  
  I checked the bios settings and even revenue tio rear BIOS
  default settings.

  I get this error even with everything I tried to do.

  This happens during the OS install just after or during the process of the installation of temporary files are current

  written to the HD.
  
  When I re - install the original HD loaded with Win7, everything works as it
  expected.
  
  Any ideas on what] s going on here?

  Hello:

  The problem is that you must incorporate the necessary sata ahci drivers for windows XP to see the hard drive.

  Has Windows 7 and XP is too old an operating system to make them.

  Read the info at the link below, section of Intel and then read the downloadable PDF document for instructions on how to integrate all the drivers.

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and-software/SATA-drivers-for-XP-solution-on-0x0000007B-BSOD/m-p/114120#M17758

  The only other way to install XP on this model is to go into the bios, the storage section and change the setting of sata ahci to ide emulation, save the setting here and once again, when you go out.

  The problem is that if you do this, you cannot change the setting for the preferred setting of DCIS, unless you know how to install the correct ahci sata driver after installing XP from the controller.  If you try to just change the setting back on ahci without having to install the controller driver, the PC does not start upward.

  Try "slipstreaming" the drivers first and if you can't swing, install XP in IDE mode and I'll help you get the drivers installed, so you can change the BIOS to ahci setting.

• How can I install Windows 7 onto the new drive while keeping Windows XP on the old drive?

  Wow for on 1 computer install 2 operating systems with 2 hd

  I have 2 hard drives; We have Windows XP and the new one is empty (empty) installed on a computer.  I would like to install Windows 7 on the new hard drive.  How can I install Windows 7 onto the new drive while keeping Windows XP on the old drive?

  Thank you

  Hello

• Disk space hard keeps being endangered? I am sure that I do not have a virus...

  I've recently updated my Vista to Service Pack 2, and a lot of problems arise.  I've never had these problems with Service Pack 1.

  (1) my hard drive space keeps disappearing.  I used to have 10 GB of free space and now he got up to 400 MBs.  Where is he past?  I have not installed any programs or downloaded viruses.  I've never had this problem until Service Pack 2 has been installed.  I heard people saying delete "restore points" but I've never had this problem with SP1. Why SP2 should change my settings without my consent?  How can I recover my memory disappears?

  (2) update my window is DISABLED.  I never left my computer install updates by itself, because I like to choose what updates I want.  However, I always get 'new' random programs whenever I restart my computer.  Just recently (4 days after I installed SP2) I have a 'maintenance' folder in my Start menu.  I did some research and it said that I had already installed maintenance, but then why he told me it was a 'new program' when I've had it for awhile?

  (3) my battery life went from roughly 15 minutes an hour.  While I understand batteries degrade over time, I highly doubt he would go from 1 hour 15 minutes instantly.  I'm not an engineer so I have no idea how batteries work, but I guess that my autonomy would see a gradual decline.  In addition, I find it very doubtful that my autonomy would diminish much the day of this, I installed SP2. What are the ways for me to reduce the process that SP2 uses so I can save my autonomy?

  Thank you

  Hi 60201

  You can try the following steps and check.

  Step 1:

  You try to run a disk cleanup to remove unwanted files and check if the problem persists.

  For more information, run Disk Cleanup, see the following link:

  Delete files using disk cleanup.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/delete-files-using-disk-cleanup

  Step 2:

  This can also occur if the power options are changed. You can check the power settings.

  Check out the link:

  Change, create, or delete a power plan (scheme)

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-create-or-delete-a-power-plan-scheme

  Also check that the size of the hyberfil.sys and pagefile.sys

  If hibernation is enabled, the hyberfil.sys file size will be more.

  You can also check the event viewer to check any recent activity that happens on the computer as well as the performance.
