• TOSHIBA PX1267E - 32 1 external HARD drive does not: seeing flashes blue/red

  Dear reader,

  I have a drive external HARD of PX1267E - 1 32. It worked fine for a year or two. Now, it started to malfunction.
  The light which should show current data traffic, now blinks red/blue (by changing half a second). When I connect it to the PC, it is a sound of connection, and a sound to unplug a few seconds later (it continues to repeat this once in a while).

  Anyone know what is happening, or what I need to do? More importantly, I need to know if it is worth fixing and if its even fixable.

  Thanks in advance!

  Same here with my drive toshiba 320 GB external hard... S/N: 1103060475 / PX1223E - 1 32

  It just happened last week. All of a sudden you hard drive went from blue to red.
  And the computer no longer recognizes.

  Looks like it is a problem in Dutch? And that's happened with Freek and me at the same time?

  How can recover us information that is still on this subject.
  Because the case where the hard drive is there... just can not be opened.
  So we can't pull the hard drive from the case.
  Someone at - it also have a useful answer in this one?

  After you install a new device driver, it is also always recognizable not on my pc.
  Toshiba Harddisk can be seen in my computer, but played cannot enter or read data about...
  It works, but no data is recoverable more because of a problem in the i/o device so he says...

  Who can help us both... because it looks like I have and Freek have the same problem, and both live in the Netherlands. ;-) Perhaps both a bad Live Essentials Windows Update done?

  Unfortunately, the warranty is just late (1 year) because it was only guaranteed for 2 years
  So, it's no choice more :(

  Please advice us ;-)

  -How we recover the data on it. Brand, it works again?

• Satellite Pro A200 (PSAF4A) - HARD drive stops and the computer crashes

  Hello

  It's my first post in this forum, but certainly not my first issue

  I recently had to re - install Windows Vista on my laptop because I had an undetectable virus that attacked Windows and made him useless.
  Before that, I had many, many startup errors and windows crashes, but which were preventable or fixable. After the re - install, I noticed that windows stability was much better until recently.

  I have not changed the settings or anything what so ever on my computer laptop which could affect the performance somehow, but I have a new problem.

  If I have my computer running, performing tasks of base for a few hours I notice that performance and all of a sudden my computer completely stops responding.
  The disk shows no signs of life after this point, and his only solution is a "disruptive Shutdown.
  This appears in the reliability monitor and performance that all this, there is no input error, and nothing is done after.

  I also noticed if either windows defender or other my antivirus runs a system scan that my performance is reduced to the point where I can't run a simple task like opening an Explorer window. This also translates to total non-response. This never happened before a week ago and now it happens every time.

  These two started within the past few days and there is no clear reasoning behind it. My inactivity of the processor is always the same, no new processors added and no settings changed.

  This could be a problem with Windows, my HARD drive, my CPU or something worse?

  Is there a reason why is happening and is there a solution either of these problems?

  First of all, you reinstall Windows with the Toshiba recovery disc or disc of Microsoft?

  It's strange and not easy to say what's wrong, but in your case I would test the RAM and HARD drive.

  There are special tools to test the following:
  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
  http://Memtest86.com/

  On the two Web site, you can download a CD image. Burn it to a CD, start with him and then you can test parts.

  Good luck!

• HARD drive password prompt - Satellite 2450-101

  Hello everyone!...

  I am a new user and would like to know if anyone has any suggestions of how I can fix my computer problem?

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite 2450-101 that I recently brought a new battery and the adapter because due to the machine is not used for several months, everything was fine for a few hours!... the screen became 'blue' and I restarted the program, but then, I proceeded to get an error message (forgive me, because I don't remember exactly what he said!) who said something about Realteck? and Ethernet cable error and then prompted me to insert system disk?

  Unfortunately after pressing enter the same message kept in view, finally I decided to used the drive recovery to re - start the computer but all I get now is the ' screen of welcome-followed by long pause, followed by a black screen that ask to ceiling "HDD password?

  Does anyone know if it is a fixable problem?

  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

  Hello

  Looks like your HARD drive is locked using a HARD drive password.
  I put t know why this password is necessary but if you don t know this password, then your HARD drive is no longer available and you will need to buy a new one.

  Eventually it s simply a matter of HARD drive and, therefore, the laptop crashed before this HARD drive password appeared so I think that you need a new HARD drive.

  Good bye

• Error hard drive DST

  I have a laptop dv7 in HP Envy, 6 months out of Costco. It crashes at startup. I did the test of marketing and it's not hard drive DST: M0D8Q1-6B96S2-QFPK0K-60SF03

  Is this fixable or does require the replacement of the hard drive? The documentation provided with your computer indicate a 2-year warranty; It would be something covered by the warranty?

  Thank you

  Steve

  Hi Steve,.

  Error code 24 characters for the drive Self Test (DST) would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.

  The hard drive is under warranty, you can contact HP and arrange for the replaced disk - if necessary, you can check the status of your warranty here.

  If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

  If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

  Kind regards

• When I deleted a picture of my MacBook, why it also remove the external hard drive?

  So I tried to help my wife to free up space on his MacBook Pro by putting all of his photos on an external hard drive. After iPhoto slide the hard disk and wait 40 minutes so that he could transfer, I wanted to make sure it worked. I ejected the disk and then plugged in. Of course, all iphotos were still there. Just to be sure, I deleted one file in the folder on the computer's iphoto. I went to my shock and horror, the external hard drive, that it has been deleted it too! How is that possible? I've been scouring the Internet trying to retrieve this file with no luck. It was not in the trash. There is a tab "recently deleted". Time machine was not turned on. iCloud shows nothing. I can't download any software, because the computer is completely filled. How is it possible that by deleting this folder on the computer he did also leave the hard drive? AND it has not been saved in the trash? I have used PC, and whenever I need something in return, he was ALWAYS in the trash. And if I deleted something on the computer with an external hard drive connected, it would NEVER be removed from the external hard drive at the same time. I'm so frustrated and feeling SO bad that I deleted a folder with important pictures of our kids. Is that what I can do to recover the pictures? Any help is greatly appreciated.

  You used Time Machine at all? I see you say it was not on, but it never on and is at - it a backup Time Machine on the Macbook Pro?

• How to change back to SSD HARD drive?

  My mcbook pro comes with the original 500 GB of HARD drive. When he ran with a problem, I went to an apple repair shop. Problem was in the charts, and he suggested the HARD drive to be replaced by a 120 GB SDD. So it has been replaced, but the guy on the left HARD drive as a storage device. Moment where DDI is left with small space and when I update to OS X El Capitan of OS Sierra, it had to be installed in the HARD disk drive. Could someone please give instructions to install the new OS to the SDS to lose all my data and the current configuration and it is also possible to install windows XP on the HARD drive and 10.  Either by the way, I got Windows 10 and XP shared with the SDS via parallels. Thank you

  I think this can be useful for you:

  How to use an SSD with your HARD drive If you want to use an SSD as boot with your existing HARD disk drive, as the disk 'data', here is what you can do. After installing the SSD, you need to partition and format the SSD using disc utility disc. Then install OS X on the SSD. Once installed OSX boot from SSD. Startup disk preferences to set up the SSD as the boot volume. Open the preferences users and groups. Click the lock and authenticate you. Or CTRL - RIGHT click on your username account list in the sidebar and select Advanced Options in the context menu. You will see a field called "Home dir: ' on the far right, you will see an Edit button. Click on it. In the file dialog box, navigate to the location in house now located on the HARD disk (disk HARD/users/user_name /.) Select the folder, click the Open button. Restart the computer, as shown. When the computer starts, it will now use the home located on the HARD drive folder. Another more technical method involving the Terminal and the alias is discussed in depth here: using OS X with a SSD and HDD - Matt Gemmell configuration. It's my preferred approach because I can choose which records of the House, I want to on the HARD drive and I don't want to. For example, I like to keep Documents and library files on the SSD because I frequently access their content. Make sure that you keep the bootable system entirely on your HARD drive where you need it.

• Seagate external hard drive / / no display

  Recently I bought a Portable Seagate 2 TB external hard drive for my MacBook Air. I put all my movies, music, ext documents on my hard drive with my important homework. The reason why I did was reset my mac, then return all my old documents, photos ext, back to their place of origin. I have managed to do and frees a lot of space. A few days after my MacBook fell asleep with a connected external hard drive and now the hard drive is no longer present on the desktop or in finder. I am able to find in my "disk utility" , but for some reason, it shows the hard drive passed out faded gray and full? I tried to hook up with different cables and on the various devices as well. Also sang the first aid option in "disk utility" with no other results. I have contacted apple support and found out it was the external hard drive with the problem, so they couldn't help me. They then redirected me to Seagate Support, and I had already tried the methods they gave me (see list above). I was wondering if anyone here on communities of Apple has experienced the same problem as me, it would be that much appreciated advice you may have. I have important files that I need to recover.

  Help, please!

  Had a similar problem with external hard drive WD also on model MBA early 2015. Found if I disconnect the external hard drive restart MBA and then reconnect the external hard drive it was working normally again.

  Another thing I tried was still unplug HD plugin MBA on sector and re - a SMC.

• MacBook Pro not mounting external hard drive

  My Macbook Pro (early 2015, running Mac OS Sierra) is not able to mount my [new] external hard drive (Seagate Backup Slim). It shows up in disk utility, but the volume seems shady. Nothing happens by pressing the command mount or performing first aid. Kindly help me out here.

  Hi vishesh97,

  Welcome to the communities of Apple Support!

  We understand your question that you have a new external hard drive, a backup Slim Seagate, which does not appear when you connect to your MacBook Pro.

  Allows because it is a new hard drive, try to clear the disc first and formatting for Mac OS extended (journaled). The instructions for this process are found in the article below:

  For Mac disk utility: delete a volume using disk utility

  See you soon!

  My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also saved to the time capsule. Everything is in 'Data' when I look through the Airport utility. I think that the information that I've lost are still there since I was a Capsule 3 to.

  Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.

  The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.

  Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...

  You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?

  By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?

  Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

• How to recover data from my macbook pro drive to an external hard drive?

  My Mac pro does not work. Is it possible to back up my data through safe mode? Problem is that I accidentally deleted my last backup in my external hard drive. I'm just trying to retrieve photos and videos.

  Perhaps. What happens when you start up the Mac normally?

  You have another Mac?

  This Mac starts to recover? (need of Lion or later)?

• MacBook hard drive failure

  The hard drive on my MacBook (2011) crashed. I could not successfully reinstall OS X (it try to install Mountain Lion - perhaps because of the age of the MacBook). Bit then it crashes when it does real settle.

  Can I create a new partition and try to install OS X on this new partition? How do I do that?

  Or maybe I'm better of restoring a backup Time Machine prior? If I restore from a backup time machine, I lose my data since the last backup time machine (my last backup was March 2016, and I need the data from March 2016 before).

  I'm not super technical, so please provide feedback that I hope that I can understand how to run.

  Thank you!

  The hard drive on my MacBook (2011) crashed. I could not successfully reinstall OS X (it try to install Mountain Lion - perhaps because of the age of the MacBook). Bit then it crashes when it does real settle.

  You don't mention if you replaced the hard drive or all just try reinstalling OS X on top of the existing. No matter, what method you are trying to use to do? Recovery Mode, Internet, Time Machine backup or an installation DVD restore recovery Mode?

  I'm also assuming you don't have any other form of backups to restore from, for example, an external USB drive with a copy of the internal hard disk fairly new clone of your MacBook... correct? If this isn't the case, I strongly suggest that you consider to do so move on... especially if any of the data on the hard drive is essential for you.

  What would be recommended would, at this point, the following basic steps:

  1. Run Apple Hardware Test to verify that there is no problem with your MacBook hardware. You won't waste time trying to reinstall the software on the disc if it is faulty.
  2. Perform a Recovery Mode (will install this latest version of Mac OS X that you MacBook was running) or the recovery of Internet Mode (will install the version of Mac OS X initially supplied with your MacBook) to re - install OS X.
  3. Restore from Time Machine.
