Failure of E Drive
I am running Vista on a Dell inspiron 531. Drive E will not let me record HD video on DVD, but will not let me burn music on an audio CD. Any given error code but a continuous fan noise which stops only when I eject the CD. Grateful for any suggestion.
Hello thegardener,
If you have any third-party burning of CD/DVD software installed on your computer, I suggest you uninstall the CD burning software and then try to burn the Audio CD.
If this does not work, you can also try to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for the CD/DVD drive:
1. click on start and then click Control Panel.
2. click System and security, click System, and then click Device Manager.
Note that if control panel is in Classic view, double-click System and then click on Device Manager.
3. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.
4. in Device Manager, expand CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drives, right click on the device CD and DVD and then click on uninstall.
5. When you are prompted to confirm that you want to remove the device, click OK.
6. restart the computer.
Thank you

Hello
My Toshiba Qosmio F60 - 11(f) does not continue 6 months with me until a HARD disk failure that happens with the same massege (failure of HARD drive on disk0 hard to predict Intel SMART)

Hello
The HARD drive may begin to malfunction because it s a part not reusable.
I'm not very well why the HARD drive starts to malfunction in these times early in any case the party m can be replaced very easily and usually you don t we had to send the laptop to the ASP.Get in touch with an ASP and ask compatible HARD drive. If it s covered by the warranty, you should get so much for free, otherwise you will need to purchase these parts.
However, here you can check how to replace the HDD:

Satellite P215 get SMART failure on hard drive
Hello
I've had my laptop for a year now, and just recently, I noticed everything using that everything has become much slower and more something else that I couldn't run as much multitasking I could before without the screen freeze and have to wait until he gets treated. The level of multitasking is not serious, I mean that a laptop of this caliber should be able to have a streaming of youtube video play without problem as both messenger and Microsoft Word have. Recently, it has been quite frustrating and makes me want to throw computer laptop in the room, but I persevere. Moreover, I also realized that the game I used to play works is no longer (I wonder if it's the same question)
I formatted the hard drive and installed windows vista (with the CD that was given to me when I bought the computer) and the first time he had actually installation problems I had to do it twice. The second time it has installed fine and it worked for a week and then it started to slow down terribly again.
After restart the computer message popped up indicating SMART: failure on hard drive Hitachi-(s1) 4, so I followed the instructions given by another thread with a similar problem. I tried the hitachi Drive Fitness Test and the program would not even load, it would get to the point where it says «Loading DFT»... ' and he would just stay there... I guess that is not compatible with Vista or something.
What can I do in addition to evidence of the replacement of the hard drive? The cause of the downturn from the computer to the bass and the game does not work because of the HD about to fail? If there is a way to solve this problem, I would like to know
Thank you
MichaelIn my view the HARD disk, you should be exchanged and Yes, it could be the reason why the computer slows down, and some games do not work.
I had the same problem a few years ago on my desktop PC computer is very slow and I can t install a game. Whenever I tried it, I got a BSOD. Then I switched the HARD drive and everything worked very well.I put t know why the Drive Fitness Test does not start on your computer, but if you get a SMART error HARD drive should be exchanged permanently.
If your laptop is under warranty, you must contact an ASP. Then the repair should be free.
Good luck!

Windows 7 will not activate with the OEM key, after the failure of HARD drive.
Hello
I was recently asked to repair my brother DELL laptop. The HARD drive failed and the system unusable. I replaced the HARD drive and installed Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 (earlier version of windows) from my own installation media. The recovery partition had survived the failure of HARD drive, I would have just cloned that and used, but this was not an option in this case.
The problem that I am experiencing, is that windows don't will not activate, saying that the key is not valid. I was told that installing Windows 7 media would work with a retail or an OEM key, but that doesn't seem to be the case. The key OEM I use, is from the computer it came from originally, and the only material change is the new HARD disk.
I try to avoid ordering an OEM Dell installation CD, as which costs money (I already have my own installation CD) and takes time (why do they have them available for download?).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

Failure of hard drive on HP laptop DV 6000 Pavilion Windows XPsp3 OS - need help data recovery
Failure of hard drive on HP laptop DV 6000 Pavilion - need help data recovery
HP Pavilion DV 6108 NR, RG365UA, purchased late 2006 at best buy, with Windows XP, upgrade to Service Pack 3. It has a Fujitsu 60 GB HDD partitioned into C: and a D: Recovery.
Windows tries to start, but goes to a blue screen with the message: "Unmountable Boot Volume" for a second, then just guard recycling until I force a shutdown.
Phoenix BIOS, hard drive test result: "Fail #1-08".
I ran a program to drive on the Cdrive analysis/recovery and it seems to show the directory structure intact, and he was able to recover some files. I used the free Seagate (which only retrieves the small files). The second pass only works so well and in the third set as the program says that I should not go further, and I need to contact a professional drive recovery company.
However, drive D seems to be intact, so I wonder if the disc is damaged or just one aspect of the logical drive C is bad.
How can I get the D: to run recovery on it software? The recovery discs, made by Best Buy, just proceed to the R / F / Q option screen, and when I press R, I get a blue screen every time.
Pressing the F10 key at startup bothers me nowhere. Ditto the key F11.I don't like hard disk; This is the data (files, documents, images, etc.) that I want to.
I contacted HP to order recovery disks, but they are no longer available for my computer.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

http://notebooks.com/2011/02/25/how-to-restore-a-backup-from-an-external-hard-drive-in-Windows-7/New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition.

Re: Satellite A300/U01 - failure of HARD drive?
I tried to start my A300/U01 this morning and nothing happened after the noise/power/keyboard illuminated lights.
I tried again and this time, the BIOS screen is appeared, but nothing later. The HD light never informed. I hear the ticking of the light in the machine, but nothing as if the HD was running fine.
(1) that indicate a mechanical failure of the hard drive?
(2) if so I lost all data on this drive?I have only a single folder, I care; Unfortunately, I've been lax in my backup.
> 1) is - that this Signals a mechanical hard drive failure?
N ° access to the BIOS (press F2) and check if the HARD drive is listed in the BIOS. If it s are not not in the BIOS, this means that the HARD disk is dead.(> 2) if so I lose all the data on this drive?
Well, if the HARD drive was dying then you would lose data also, but first it of necessary to know if the HARD drive is really dead. For this check point 1. -
Satellite L300 - error failure of Webcam driver
Hi everyone on the forums of Toshiba.
I have a Satellite L300 and I did a clean install of Windows 7. When I try to use the webcam, a message "driver webcam camera failure, turn the power off or restart the computer" or something like that.
I read a lot of discussion on how to get this to work with the camera Help program but I get just this error massage. Can someone please help with a surefire way to make this webcam work?
I downloaded the latest drivers. Also if I try to do a system restore I will be able to do what I read that it will no longer work. I did a recovery CD/DVD before installing Windows 7 (I know stupid move) If this is the case is there anywhere online that I can download the full pack for my laptop?
Thanks for reading and I hope that I have meet some good friends on this forum
sudeki300Hello
Are you running other programs they need for the camera, like MSN, Skype, etc. ?
Moreover, can you also test if the webcam works on Skype, MSN or other video chat software.In addition, you should try to update the BIOS and load default settings here. Maybe it will work.
You can get a new drive for Toshiba Recovery directly, but you must pay for it. Here you can order a new:

Need help to avoid data loss on a corrupt and/or failure to hard drive
I don't know what happened. One minute I'm surfing the web and listening to music on iTunes. Then out of nowhere he had a sudden failure. Changed not long at all, but now when I try to turn on my computer, it starts normally but then shortly after that the chime and the apple logo appear, if a progress indicator yet that I've never seen before today. Until the progress bar is still the size of my little finger nail, the computer turns off just. I started in recovery mode and run disk check and repair utility. Make sure the disc is not far off when he said something like - disc cannot be checked completely. Disk needs to be repaired. So when I click on the repair disk, it works only for maybe a minute before it comes up saying - utility disk can't repair the disk. Upwards from your many possible files, reformat the drive and restore your backed up files. So obviously it's not good. What are my options and can I do to avoid losing data that is not already saved? I have a lot of things that have not been backed up and lose some of them would be pretty damning. That's my main goal; data loss as little as possible. My computer is an iMac 2012 end Mavericks 10.9.5 running.
Thank you.
You do not have a current backup? If this is not the case, your only real option may be to pay a data recovery company and see if they can help you. Which can be very expensive.

Pavilion 15-p009tx: failure of hard drive test
Hello, I was using my laptop for about six months, and today when I tried to boot up the laptop, it would just show a blue screen. That's why I started dianosis and it failed hard drive DST test. Failure ID is 600ETA-7AX7L1-MFPV6K - 60S 503. Product ID is G8E21PA #ABG.
Support will be greatly appreciated.Hello
Error code 24 characters for the drive Self Test (DST) would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.
As your laptop is only 6 months old, it should still under warranty, so contact HP and arrange for the replaced disk - if necessary, you can check your warranty status.
If you live in the United States, contact HP here.
If you are in another part of the world, start here.

Failure possible hard drive on dv76175us
This laptop must be one of the worst pieces of technology, I've ever used. The issue began last Friday, when I started my laptop. The system would completely freeze trying to read the data. I rebooted to run tests and start diagnosis Hp next test came with the code id of failure at the following address: 9lhvwc 5rg6k7 mfh15f 6otp03. I did a test drive in the Bios, and it gave me the error code 303. A web search indicated that 303 means that the hard drive has failed, but it was with a different notebook. Is - this precise with my dv76175us laptop running Windows 7 64 bit edition Home premium? If Yes, what are the steps I follow to get my personal data (music, photos, configuration files, etc.) & software purchase of recovery and a new drive?
Well, if she still starts waiting for Windows are very good. It is a dv7 which means that there is a space for several hard disks. Heck it is not impossible that a clone disk operation would continue to operate. If you want to try the cut and paste I remove the hard drive Bay (now wrong) drive and put in the new. Load Windows drivers and then put the old drive in the high Bay and try a cut and paste the transfer from the old drive. You can also use Windows 7 Easy Transfer that move on the settings of your browser, email (if you use Outlook) desktop image and many other things that it is difficult to reproduce on a new computer. Bad in Windows startup disk, use an external hard drive or network share and run Easy Transfer as the former 'computer '. It will make a large archive of data that you can then import into your new system from the storage location that you have chosen. It's pretty grainy, so you can choose just what you need to transfer. It works better if you configure the new installation to use the same user name.

Windows crashes because of the failure of State driver
my computer has difficulties to stop, restart and stagnates in starting up. He has demonstrated the blue sreen of death and said that I should look for driver State failure. After doing my research, I discovered thanks to a blue sreen view application that it is caused by the driver ntoskrnl.exe. Please I need assistance on how to solve this problem as soon as possible, as this has been occurring regularly now. I don't want my pc to pack completely. Thank you in anticipation of your response
Hi Niranjan,
I did the process what you said but he said that "the system cannot find the file specified."
With the info you gave me that I decided to test without a bootable dvd, and I still had no success.
Finally, I tried refreshing my pc from the settings menu, and he prayed for the dvd for her to continue. The process has been a success, but I lost most of the applications as u mentioned previously.
I shut down my pc to check the problem and it stop. I will keep testing until its safe to say that it has been solved.
Now can you please give me a list of things to do and do not help protect my pc and avoid such a situation in the future.
Thank you for your help so far.
