Drive hard squeal

I have a Satelite PSA10E - 018G 3 - SO with a hard drive that suddenly during a session of Windows XP ordinary slowed to a halt, causing the machine to freeze, and whenever I tried it from now to the top, it will alternate between doing weird little clicky spins and squealing as he is dying. The machine is not going beyond the boot loader (GRUB, btw, that doesn't get to the menu, only for the part 'putting into service'). I started a live linux disk to see if I could find partitions; they have shown up on the office, but would not mount (cardmgr or anything that could not understand what they were). Is there some hope (low cost) for my data? Should I get the drive replaced and not do anything myself? The machine is about 1.5 years old... seems a little young to die.

Hi kiwibird,

There are 2 possibilities for sure your data.

1, if you have an available USB floppy drive you can load a boot disk and try to copy the data into the DOS mode! (In my opinion to BACK the HARD disk should be found)
Same procedure with Boot CD! Go to www.bootdisk.info and download a!

2, you can remove the HARD drive and connect it via a 1.8 ' adapter 3.5' on a desktop as slave! (This card is available to each electronic shop, also it is not so expensive!)

Try and keep me posted!

  • Use iMac drive HARD internal for storage only.

    I initialize my iMac to an external SSD. It makes my computer run faster. How can I completely wipe the drive HARD internal of my iMac and use it as a storage only?

    This isn't a big problem, except one. Apple does not support this method as a permanent solution. However, you have an iMac of 2012. I have a Mac Mini from 2012. I used a 1 to LaCie Thunderbolt Rugged HD to do this thing very via the Thunderbolt port. It worked very well for a while. Personally, I started my primary internal HD for OS X and the LaCie Thunderbolt as external storage. For reasons of registration and so on. Recovery of the Internet, as well. I have not found any major difference in the "boot speed" between internal or external HD. I upgraded the RAM of 4 GB to 16 GB all. and BAM!

    My HD Thunderbolt is partitioned as a time Capsule (1st partition bootable) and Mac Storage (2nd partition). The choice is yours, of course.

    Bravo!

  • 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.

  • Error: 4M0T/4/40000003: drive HARD-1287

    I have problems with my iMac 27 "2011 with El Capitan.

    I run the Apple Hardware Test and found this error: 4M0T/4/40000003: drive HARD-1287.

    What it means?

    Thank you, Lucas.

    This means that you have hardware problems that must be addressed. Probably your HD sensor, fan or has failed. Take the machine to your local Apple service provider authorized to repair, if you do everything in your area, please click on the link of the Service Provider Locator allowed Apple to begin to find a.

    Good luck.

  • How can I use my drive hard thunderbolt from 8 TB to backup all my wireless devices?

    How can I configure my drive hard thunderbolt from 8 TB to back up all my devices using a Wi - Fi connection?

    What you might hope better would be to use a Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet adapter to connect to the router, but even if it works, it would be like a fire (Thunderbolt) connection to a water hose (Ethernet) is launching... and expect to get more water on the hose... more, the best that can be done without wire will be about half the speed of the Ethernet network.

    Sorry, this is no sense... a Thunderbolt drive is designed to connect directly to a Thunderbolt port on a computer, or in a Garland with other devices Thunderbolt.

    In other words, as soon as you break the chain of connection Thunderbolt, the speed drops to Ethernet or even low speed wireless.

  • Satego X 200 21U: drive HARD internal not external usable after upgrade

    First, I changed the system to a 500 GB HARD drive, and everything was good. The old drive was not usable extern, so I left it as an emergency backup device.
    After a few weeks, I did the upgrade even to the second HARD drive, and again the old drive is not usable in my extern Dockingstation.
    Does anyone have a good idea what causes this problem? The HARD drives are locking the entire system, if I try to access and some formatting.

    Hello

    What do you mean by is not usable in my external docking station?

    I assume that you have placed the 2.5 HARD disk in a USB enclosure that allows to connect the HARD drive to the computer USB port.
    Is this good? So what harm s? Is not recognized USB HARD drive or what?
    Have you tried to connect different computers HARD drive?
    Otherwise, to do this

    But if the HARD drive is not accessible, using the case of USB, or use inside the laptop, then I would say it is a HARD drive malfunction

    Why this is happening?
    The writing and the reading drive HARD is a physical process which underline the material parts such parts can still die

  • Drive HARD Toshiba guaranteed external profile corruption

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba secured 200 GB device. I moved some data from my laptop with Windows Vista 32 bit Edition on this disc.
    Then I tried to work with this pluging of data from the device on my new laptop with Windows 7 64 bit Edition.
    There was an error and the certificates to mount the drive on the new system (this is what Windows)

    Now I have can´t access to my data or on Vista or Windows 7.

    The unit shows a log of errors with this report: "the secured unit may be abruptly removed or disconnected.
    Reboot the system and plug the device to solve this problem. »

    No matter how many times I reboot my computer and repeat the process, there is no way to access my data again.
    I can record a new finger but I Don t want to lose the chance to recover my data.

    Any idea, please?

    Thank you very much.

    In my opinion, you should contact Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They should provide support for the Toshiba device.
    Maybe they can you give some advice or even access your data for you.

    I have the old external 2.5 120 GB drive HARD Toshiba for 4 years now and I'm really lucky that I don't have this problem.

  • Re: Satellite L555 11 L: BIOS indicates the drive HARD is not installed, BOOT Manager said HDD

    Hello!

    I had problems with my Toshiba laptop.

    When I tried to boot my system after a regular stop it does not recognize the HARD drive more.
    BIOS indicates the drive HARD is not installed, the said BOOT Disk Manager failed.

    Tried the HARD drive to a desktop computer and it works fine. This is not a new HDD SATA is recognized.
    However, the boot sequence itself and other functions seem to be ok.

    Who is wrong?
    The laptop is 1.5 years old and didn't have any problems before.

    Any help is appreciated ;)

    Hello

    It seems that the HARD drive is damaged.
    In your case the drive HARD test would be recommended.

    Download the software called Drive Fitness Test. It the free tool that can be used for the test of HARD drive.
    If the HARD drive is not detected or you will get errors, then it means that you HARD drive needs to be replaced and OS need to be installed again.

  • How to replace a new drive hard satellite 1670cds

    How to replace a new drive hard satellite 1670cds
    do I have to remove the keyboard?
    wath is the GB limit

    Hi Theo,.

    HARD drive is mounted on your machine fest, and it is not easy to change. First you have to remove the keyboard, then view and top of page coverage too. If you want to do it yourself, be careful. If you do something wrong, it can be very expensive.

    It is not easy to say which is the limit of the HARD drive, but I'm sure you can use 10 GB with no problems. Try to contact the after-sales Service of Toshiba partner. Perhaps, they can give you specific information.

    Good bye
