Equium A200-1VO - "a disk read error has occurred."

Hello

I had my Equium A200-1VO since December 2007 and has never really had any problems with it atall.

However, last night after a Windows Vista update and restart, my laptop won't start upward. I get a black screen announcing:

"A disk read error has occurred.

Please press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart»

I've had no BSOD, and no other suggestion that something was wrong, everything worked perfectly. I checked the HARD drive to see if it had come off his link and reinserted it. But I get the same message.

I am presented with the only possibility to use the recovery disk, but this means wiping everything out there and start again. I'd rather try to recover my documents before taking radical measures, if it is possible atall.

If anyone has any suggestions I would be very appreciate.

Thank you very much

Mark

Hello

In my view, the error message says a lot: theoretically, your HARD drive may be defective and must be replaced but before that I would test using fitness to drive or another program. Just use Google to find such programs.

Maybe something was tangled up in your Windows installation. About reinstalling Windows?

You didn't back up your data to a second drive? I m wondering about this, because the backup should always be made.
However, if you use an external HARD drive box you can save it on another computer.

Good luck! :)

    Hello

    Are you sure that the CD drive is dead?
    I have goggled a bit on the net and found some practical information that there may be some HDD malfunction.
    Some guys advised to use the command CHKDSK C: /R to solve this problem.

    Reading efforts and errors you received on your other thread it seems pretty obvious that your hard drive is bad. It could be as serious as a bad on the motherboard controller, but usually, it's only the hard drive.

    Hi all

    I have never been able to burn a blank CD using the rewritable CD drive on my Equium A200 1VO.
    I am using TDK CD - R80 700 MB ', 'up to 52 x speed"blank CD

    This is the error I get when I try to burn a disc in iTunes:

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    AFAIK this peacekeepers of error message by using the CD - R disc.
    Check if you can burn the CD - RW? On my laptop I can burn files on CD - RW iTunes correctly.

    By the way:
    If your laptop has the reader of the TS-L632 CD/DVD then you need to update the firmware as suggested here in this article from Toshiba

  • Equium A200-1VO - what could be done to improve the situation of power supply?

    I recently bought an Equium A200 1VO as one second laptop - my other (an Aspire) is excellent, but a bit heavy in the basket to autour. Anyway, it seemed fabulous value and has worked very well so far - but I just discovered a catch today, the low battery life. I understand that this gap is shared with most of the other laptops of a comparable weight.

    In any case, I wonder what could possibly be done about (I often use my laptop while on the move, in locations without power outlet available, and less than 1 hour of power is very restrictive (I know powersave and others)-especially compared to my other laptop which is about 3 hours on battery)?

    Is there a portable power charger (the type with which you can load to the top of their rechargeable batteries on the sector, then take them and be able to charge mobile phones, iPods, etc. several times without needing an external power supply), as the Proporta one, who could charge a laptop as well (well, this laptop)? And how about the 9 cell Li-ion battery that sell Toshiba (or for that matter, one 6 cells)?

    How long will pretty much those give me? Are there other types of batteries that can be purchased for an extra life?

    Any suggestions on how I could get more autonomy would be most appreciated.

    Hi guys

    > what could be done to improve the situation of power supply
    You could buy a stronger battery which delivers more power for a long time
    You should take a look at the value of mA; more better ;)

    Also please don t forget that the Vista operating system needs more power as an early OS like XP.
    Vista needs more power because it wastes more computing resources.
    I read that a same notebook would run 2 times longer on battery with preinstalled W2K or XP.

  • Satellite L305D-S593 - disk read error

    My Toshiba Satellite L305D-S593 suddenly stopped. At first I thought he had a little more heated or something, but when I tried to turn back on it gave me a message saying disk-read error press ctrl alt del to restart. I did several times in the same direction. While I tried to reinstall windows, I got lucky if she showed to the installation screen once it did, I followed the instructions for installation clean (I had to do it once before, but for different reasons).

    Once he brought me to the menu had to select a partition to install on I said to do it on the main HDD after some loading and that time, he said that it was impossible to complete the formatting required. So I Redid the process and I noticed the music said it had 288 GB of available memory, but before that, I had only about 40. To remedy this, I clicked on the format button and it says that it cannot complete the action because the disk is about to fail.

    PS My processor is 64-bit AMD Turion dual core mobile, with 4 GB of RAM

    Hey,.

    In my opinion, it has something to do with the HARD drive itself, I guess that it s a bad sector so Windows Setup can format t HARD drive properly. I mean before you tried to reinstall Windows, the system could not start due to a disc read error. This means that the files on the HARD disk are confused because of bad sectors

    You can install Windows Toshiba Recovery disk?

    If it doesn t work too, I'll try to replace the HARD drive. Usually, it is not complicated and can be done in 5 minutes.
    In addition, you can check the HARD disk for errors with diagnostic tools special as Drive Fitness Test. Google a bit for such tools, they are freeware, so it s no problem to find. ;)

  • Equium A200-1VO isue - white screen start new

    I got a new laptop Equium A200-1VO Friday as a Christmas present very very end and last night (Monday), I played football coach, play with ITunes and deleting files on an old mp3 player. Everything was fine when all of a sudden there was this click / the sound muffled and the screen went black.

    The laptop is connected to the time and so connected them to clear a/c was, so was the power and charge light, but he just stayed empty.

    I then unplugged the charger and it appeared with the orange light mean low battery. I then removed the computer game disc thinking that it is possible that and turned off the phone manually. Now if I just push the power button it stands theres a click, just about where is the hard drive and it stops, if I hold it in theres a click, but it stays on, all the time the screen remains blank.

    I then turned off and it rebooted I was wondering if it was just low on battery and still nothing.
    I left the place cell phone off during the night but in the morning, the problems are still there. I even blocked the "product recovery" disk, but still no sign of life.

    I'll try to plug this moniter screen and see if this is the problem then he hopes to be able to tell you soon. Oh, one thing I can think is that I used it on my bed, is there a way it could have overheated? If Yes, then would not be leaving off all night helped / solved this problem?

    Thanks in advance!

    Have you tried to remove the battery and disconnect the AC for a while?
    I would recommend doing this!

    Remove the battery and the power adapter for about 20-30 min. After this short period of time to connect all the parts again and try to start Notepad.

  • Equium A200-1VO does not start and makes weird noises

    My Toshiba Equium A200-1VO don't load on Windows entirely, which means I can't use it. When you turn everything goes well until the Welcome screen in Windows Vista. From there, it starts to get weird creaking and it beeps from time to time. It won't start here and these sounds do not stop.

    Help please

    Hello

    Is it possible to know where the noise comes from?
    As suggested by above user, it could be a HARD disk, but in this case, it would mean that HARD drive failures and he could die in the next time

    You said it s begin properly until appears the window Vista would be
    So maybe it s only a problem of software but I m still don t know what part of the software would create such sound however, I think that if would not be bad to reinstall the operating system in order to check the notebook with factory settings.

    If this strange question would persist or if you would not be able to reinstall the operating system using the recovery disc then a hardware problem could cause this strange things and I think it means that you will need to contact the ASP in your country for a material test
