Equium U400-124 - disk read error

Hi guys

I have (had?) a laptop Toshiba Equium U400-124 with Vista Home Premium 32 installed.

Last night, it crashed, so I rebooted and a message came with «playing a disc error occurred, press ctrl + alt + delete to restart»

He reappeared when I did the above.
When I brought, then created a "vista recovery disc" on my desktop pc and tried, I don't receive any of discs/DVDs with the pc.

It says "windows is loading files", passes through the part of windows 'Hourglass', but then just hangs on a screen black (the arrow cursor is visible and mobile).
I left it overnight after trying a multitude of times, but remains black.

Clues?

I have read that I need an original disc to boot from Vista?

Concerning

Hello

First you didn t receive the recovery because the portable disk was equipped with HARD drive recovery option and the Toshiba recovery disc creator software.
This software would you create an own Toshiba Recovery disk!

The European driver Toshiba page provides the Package of Robson.
This package contains the necessary SATA drivers.
You can find it in the Winall\Driver folder
There are files that are needed to recognize the disk by the Vista!

The fact is that the notebooks support a SATA HDD controller and the necessary drivers are not part on the Windows operating system.

First install the SATA, then the Vista drivers. This should help!

  • 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

    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! :)

  • HD recovery folder / repartitioned Equium U400-124

    My Equium U400-124 is a little and a couple of years, I have merged the two partitions to facilitate the storage of the data a bit. This left file recovery HARD drive in a folder named 'merged-partition-content' and all the rest of the main partition of C.

    I now get to a point when I think that I should consider a return to factory default, but the boot process fails to find the folder in HARD drive recovery, and even if I used the hot spare when the computer was first purchased, how he would negotiate the new partition?

    Any ideas?

    When the structure of HARD drive partitions is changed or moved from portable place original HARD drive recovery file will be confused and will conclude not just her more. For this reason, you are not able to start the installation of HARD drive recovery.

    Now you can install Vista original image, I think, using recovery only DVDs.

    According to the image of the Equium U400-124 belongs to the series of PSU42E

  • Satellite M40 does not start from hard disk - read error

    "I push the button - briefly see the In Touch with tomorrow TOSHIBA screen - then ' + a disk read error occurred press Ctrl Alt Del to restart +".

    I control alt delete brings me briefly on the screen TOSHIBA where I can choose either F2 or F12.

    Do I need a startup disk and where can I get one in order to boot from the CD ROM?
    Do I try to get into the Satellite M40 product Recovery DVD-ROM - this concern for me as the hard drive will be reformatted and all data will be lost.

    I'm stuck please help!

    Hello!

    If you enter the product recovery disc, Windows will be relocated and will be erasing all data on the HARD drive.

    I think that your HARD drive is damaged. You can check this with the Drive Fitness Test. Here you can download:
    http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
    Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. Then you can test the HARD drive.
    On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

    By the way: you can save the data on the HARD drive, when you put it in a box external HARD disk. Then you can save the data on another PC, if the HARD drive is ok and have no errors.

    Good bye

  • 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. ;)

I can add another hard drive and use bad like a slave and it starts up fine, and I went to the slave and looked everything I could think of, go back, it just above starts with the same error.

    Hello

    I suggest you get into the Recovery Console and use the where command prompt to run the chkdsk command. This scan the hard drive for bad sectors and recover any information from reading. To get instructions on how to enter the recovery console in Windows XP:
    The KB above also shows how to use the Recovery Console prompt.
    a. Insert the Windows XP startup disk in the floppy drive, or insert the Windows XP CD into the CD drive and restart the computer.
    b. Click to select all the options required to start the computer from the reader, if you are prompted.
    c. when the "Welcome" screen appears, press R to start the Recovery Console.
    d. If you have a computer dual-boot or multiboot, select the installation that you must Access from the Recovery Console.
    e. When you are prompted, type the administrator password. If the administrator password is blank, just press ENTER.
    f. type in the following command and press ENTER:
    Chkdsk /r
    g. once the command is executed type "exit" (without the quotes) to exit the command prompt and check if the problem is resolved.
