• hard drive makes grinding noise

  Hello everyone. I have a brand new (3 days) Hp Envy curved 34-A010 A10 PC. I transferred games, etc from my old computer and now the hard drive makes a grinding sound. Anyone know why and what I can do to prevent it? Thank you!!

  Stella, welcome to the forum.

  What a great computer!  I'm jealous.

  I'm sorry to hear about your problem.  I suggest you to contact the vendor for assistance.  They should fix it without any problem.  If you bought through HP Store, you must contact the HP Customer Service.  You should not have problems with a 3 day old computer.  It will only get worse.

  Almost certainly an indication that a disc is a failure and should be
  replaced as soon as POSSIBLE.

  I get 4 hard drives and would like to know how to determine who makes clicking sounds.

  1. open the case and disconnect the power cables of all readers but
  C:, then run the computer for awhile. If we click, it is C: this is
  dying.

  2. then plug the power cable into a different drive and run it
  computer for a while. If you click on, it's that you reconnected
  who is dying.

  3, number 2 twice more if necessary to repeat.

• Qosmio E10 is slow and HARD drive makes noise constantly

  Hi people

  I also have a toshiba qosmio e10 notebook. I had problems with it as well lately.

  First it started with a slow start, and then at some point I started having error messeges.
  When I called the toshiba Helpline advises him to do a check disk. I did this and the problem is still involved.

  Now also the hard drive constantly makes noise, but once the computer was successfully loaded its usually very well, it's just starting. A similar thing experience?
  What is the best thing to do?

  I'm thinking of replacin the hard drive.
  Any help will be appreciated. thanx

  Hello

  The check disk (HARD drive) will not solve all problems, but this tool report some errors and problems with the HARD disk.
  You sounds description as a HARD disk failure.
  Maybe it's a beginning of the end of s.

  Several months ago I noticed something similar on my laptop.
  Two days after my 3 years old HDD was dead. It was just a head crash.

  Take my advice and backup of your data

• Tecra A2: HARD drive makes noises funny laptop crash

  Today, I turned on my laptop, got into windows, started working when my laptop makes a funny sound, like a noise a little whoosh, n thn froze my pc! I rebooted, but is the same this time on the log of windows on the screen, I kept restarting trying to operate... until he has not start n now it sits right on the toshiba screen before starting.

  The HD LED lights up and I'm stuck in the menu. I opened my laptop n watched the hardrive (tho not touched cos I didn't break!) n its not loose or anything... but now I can not get it started, I tried the recovery cd which I can sometimes get into tho it doesn't seem to work!

  Please can soemone tell me how to solve this problem, preferabley without send it to Toshiba.

  Hi Paul,.

  It seems that if your hard drive has failed. Check in your BIOS during the initial POST to see if the drive is correctly recognized.

  You can try to restore the hard disk from the recovery CD (just boot from the recovery CD and follow the prompts on the screen) but this will erase all your personal data and programs that you can have installed and restore your laptop to its State.

  If you still have problems then I think you need to replace the hard drive and reinstall your system.

  Kind regards

  I did the hard reset, but still have a blank black screen.

  Put a new hard drive.

  Verified the memory also.

  Now what should I do?

  Hello

  Have you tried reseating the memory modules one at a time? Reinstalling the hard drive can also help.

  Hello I just got a DT01ACA100 1 TB HARD drive and when I turn it it makes a noise Clicking / Ticktock and not is not selected to the top and found by my PC.
  I am running windows 7 with all latest updates.

  I guess that you have connected this 3.5 internal HARD drive to the SATA controller s Office.
  Right?

  This HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS?
  In the event that it is not recognized in the BIOS, or Windows system, I recommend you replace this HARD drive.

  Probably HARD drive failure.

• Hard drive makes a weird cracking / Satellite A500

  Hello

  I have a fairly new Toshiba Satellite A500 (2 months) and for about 2 weeks, it is difficult to start making a cracking noise (a kind of click hear you when the player load something)... He had never done before. Many drive hard making the sound of crackling, I know, but what I find strange is that sometimes both...

  I did a lot of testing with different software, defragmentation, clean, SMART analysis, space remaining... and everything is OK. I'm really not see the problem.
  May be an indication, noise appeared shortly after I installed GTA 4.

  I would like to know if you also had this problem, or if you know how to solve. The hard drive still works fine, there is only this new sound that starts to irritate me...

  Thank you

  PS: I'm French, I hope that I didn't too many mistakes...
  my hard drive is a Toshiba 500 GB mk5055gsx.

  Hi Renan

  In front of me, I have Satellite A500-157. I don't know which is HARD drive inside (manufacturer), but HARD DRIVE works alone and without some strange noises.
  On this path, it is not easy to say with certainty if the HARD disk is defective, but you can at any time you want the closest contact Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They can check the HARD disk and discuss with you what may be the problem.

  From my experience, I know when HDD makes some clicking noisy it can be the end of the HARD drive.
  Maybe you should back up all your data. ;)
  Just to be sure... you know what I mean.

• Hard drive makes a THUMP on my laptop! Help!

  Hello

  I've owned my hp envy 17 laptop for almost 2 years now. Recently, my computer makes a noise very loud and it seems that it is working much harder it must be. I suspect the fan or the hard drive is the culprit, but I convinced myself that it's the hard drive.

  When I start my computer the noise starts almost immediately after the start. This noise sounds like the computer works hard as he possibly can, almost making a grinding noise. Even though the computer has booted, this noise continues for another minute or two before it stops, then my laptop gets quiet. What intrigues me and leads me to believe that it's the hard drive, are the fact that my computer become excessively hot when the noise occurs; He never used to do that before.

  This is not what confuses and annoys me the most, is the sound to reproduce again. This is something that I never heard before. My laptop for some reason, when it is moved or moved, even the slightest, begin to "rev" and the hard drive roared; It does this for about five minutes. It is also when the laptop is closed and "sleep" mode the slightest bump it allows off as a baby. I suspect that there is a switch, Rabat, or a thread which is not fixed correctly and when moved it off the hard drive.

  I found a few small solutions to this problem. The main thing I do when the sound occurs is I close the lid of the laptop that puts it in standby mode and turns off the hard disk, it silenced for the moment. This solution, I stumbled on by chance; I turned my laptop on the side when the noise occurs and the sound stops until I put the laptop in a vertical position again (the laptop is open).

  I would like to know your opinion on it, a solution you could of met or any explanation of the cause; also explain all costs. Partially, I opened my laptop and it seems in order to me with the dust to a minimum. I would rather check online for a solution first before importing it to a computer repair shop which I'm ready to do as a last resort.

  Sincerely,

  Greg

  Hey no rush. Follow this video:

  Remove the Panel in the shape of T a great service. With the battery down to you, the hard drive on the left is a second HDD for storage only. Follow the instructions. Be careful with the place where the cable connects. Remove the drive (on the left). Leave the main drive on the right. Replace the cover of the service on. Start the laptop and run and see if the noise is gone.

• Satellite P500 - fan too loud and makes clicking noises

  I recently bought a Toshiba P500 - in late October / early November, and recently the hard drive continuously flashes when there are noises rattling from the laptop (even if im not doing anything)

  Also my fan will get random REALLY loud but usually run mediumly hard all the time, I rarely hear really calm even when I start it first to the top and nothing is running

  The laptop itself is on my desk and high upward so that the fan is fully ventilated, as the surface is regularly wiped away (about twice per week)

  Hello

  If the clicks or hit its happening with disk HARD high use and sounds like a light tap with a light hammer on wood then this is your HARD drive and not necessarily fan.
  Fans usually have a hummimg and more regular sund whining when not.

  First thing I would do is take you a laptop somewhere cool temperature and prepare to back up the files on your HARD drive if you have not already.
  Second thing, it is to install a utility that will allow you to analyze the indicators SMART for your HDD (s) - mine has 2 drives x 500 GB, that should tell you if the HARD drive it's about to die.
  There is also a diagnostic utility called PC Diagnostic tool available via all Prorams/TOSHIBA/utilities if you have it installed.

  I would look then by contacting your local Toshiba support center to get your macine checked and covered in any warranty replaced elements.

• Toshiba 320 GB external HARD drive make my very slow computer

  Hello.

  I bought this product a few weeks ago now, and every time I use it, it makes my computer go tp so slow to the point where I can't actually do something on this subject, due to the fact that everything becomes inadmissible. Also, the rate at which I transfer files to it is also very slow. Any ideas why and what I can do to speed things up a bit?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You suggested that the laptop becomes slowly during the use of the external HARD drive.
  I guess that transfer you a data from the HARD drive internal to the external USB HDD.
  I think that it s not very rare, that the laptop runs slowly during the transmission of the data.
  It depands on the program that runs in the context of the operating system.

  I put t know which interface you use USB2 or USB only, but data transfer depends on the interface.

• 2335dn does not turn on and make clicking noise

  I have a 2335dn printer that does not turn on and makes a clicking noise up through the document feeder.  FYI, the scanner lock is not locked either.  The display does not illuminate, nor the printer begins to warm.  It is simply a constant clicking noise.  I don't know if there is an internal power supply or if she has been shot.  Y at - it may be a loose connection where the cable connects the document feeder at the bottom?  Appreciate any comment.

  Thank you

  Chris

  OK, so I opened up the printer and found a bad capacitor on the power supply.  After replacing the capacitor all starts perfectly.

• music file will not play in second hard drive double click Error "" the requested operation requires a rise ".

  Original title: music file won't play second hard drive by double click.

  Windows 7 ultimate/64

  I have a second hard drive on which I store my music files. If I open a player (Foobar is what I use now) and open the music file in the program, he plays very well, since the second HD.

  But if I double click on the music file (.mp3, usually), I get the message:

  "The requested operation requires a rise."

  I think it should open in the player by default when I do that.

  I remember well, it wasn't the case when I started to use this computer (it's fairly new), while something might have changed.
  I have the .mp3, .wav etc all default extensions for the Foobar player program.

  I went through elaborate measures to appropriate the entire disk and have granted full permissions for me as a user, following to the letter one of the many sites of the detailed instructions for this operation. But there is no help in sight.
  Original title: music file won't play second hard drive by double click

  So I can let my reader opens a music file leave a second drive, but I can't call him by double click or click right/context citing the player. When I do that, nothing happens, but I don't get the message "requires a rise."

  Every time I think that I am getting to know Windows 7, something like this happens. Avoid to receive life dull, of course.

  Thanks a lot for your suggestions. I've pretty much exhausted my own attempts.

  Jack

  Update: I think I've solved the problem. I have no idea that what caused it, but here's what fixed it:

  1 uninstalled Foobar with usual Control Panel uninstall
  2A through the startup disk everything and delete folders or files with the name "foobar" in them.
  3 did the same for the registry (creating a point of restoration first, of course)
  4 restarted
  5 download and install Foobar.

  Yes.

  Works very well.

  A big thank you to all who responded.

• Equium - HARD drive not recognized in Windows XP

  I replaced the HARD drive in the laptop, because the original had a catastrophic faulure. I replaced the HARD drive correctly (as far as I can see) but when I come to re - install Windows XP HARD drive may not be recognized.

  Any ideas?

  Hi potters.

  What model of laptop you have exactly?

  It would be important to know because if you have a model that uses SATA hard drives need drivers Intel Storage Manager you can install Windows XP.

  But in this case, you should check other forum threads. You will find hundreds of discussions on installing XP on SATA hard drive.

• Possible problem HARD drive - by clicking on the sound and the system hangs on Qosmio G30 - 116

  Hello

  I just got my G30-116 return of service (replacement of the screen) and after 2 days another problem. He just continues to hang out.

  I do not change a thing since I got it and now it just stop working on things sometimes like browsing the internet. It has not happened before. And my biggest concern is the trigger that made my hard drive.

  What can be wrong? It not crash until I have it sent to the service, I think that my hard drive is defective... Thank you

  What to say? If you can not find out why freeze the problem occurs, try to preinstall the operating system with recovery DVDs delivered.

  In any case, from your description, I'm afraid there is a serious problem with HARD drive and it can be simply worse then now. Please be sure that your data is backed up.

  Please contact service again and explain the situation. If the HARD drive is faulty, you will get a new, and if they have the HARD drive on stock, it can be replaced very quickly. G30 is lovely and I hope that you will be satisfied. A few days ago my friend visited me and we have tested his G30 with HD-DVD player on my LCD TV. I can tell you one thing: I am really impressed with the HD picture quality.

  Good luck!
