  Hello, can someone please help?

  I think my laptop is in trouble, the hard disk (or I think it's the hard drive) is do a lot of clicking noises and my battery life is running down when the adapter is connected. It seems that run down when the drive made those rattling. When the power mode is energy-saving sometimes stops clicking and the battery life fills up again, but recently its been doing even in power saving mode.

  I'm moving all my files on an external hard drive, even though I have a lot of stuff on my lap top. I can't afford a new laptop

  Can someone help me please?

  Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  How to help you without knowing your model mobile exact?

  Generally if the HARD drive makes clicking noises it s time to replace. Backup to an external drive has been a very good idea.

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

  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

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Portege R830-10V - DVD drive makes strange noises

  Hi all
  I just bought this machine and registered the following question:

  If I put in a portable DVD starts very strong buzz. This noise disappears if I put a finger on the reader. In addition, the DVD player starts to chat if I press the keys above the player as the arrow keys. Bothers me a lot.

  I called Toshiba support and they said that they can pick up the laptop. But it is possible that this service costs because maybe this problem is part of the specification.

  You have any ideas? What can I do?
  Best regards
  Denis

  Hi Denis_3,

  Have you noticed this problem with different CD and DVD or just a medium? In General, I also noticed the same behavior, but sometimes just with one disk, so the problem is the drive itself in most cases.

  On this path through the forum it s is not easy to say what the reason is but if it s associated with CD/DVD player and the reader needs replace it will cost you nothing because it s during the warranty. Of course, for out of warranty repairs, you must make ;)

• Satellite C670-11 q clicking loud noise the HARD drive

  Hello!

  I helped my neighbor to find a new laptop and the entire installation and start-up.

  We ordered a C670-11 q and it works very well, theres just a nuisance.
  The drive made strong rattling noises, not as a dying or working drive. It's the same sound when you turn a disc, just a lot stronger. I guess that's the "arm of disc" that goes into its safe position.

  I don't know if this laptop has a shock sensor to do this? The laptop was flat on the table, and there where NO vibrations while she does. There are no clicks under load, but they occur randomly when walking to the idle or surf/write normal.

  I checked also save energy options and disabled to turn the disk, without help.
  Also, this seemed odd, because the clicks occur often several times in a row. But there is no doubt it more when running on the battery.

  I am running the BIOS and latest drivers in the area of support (as of yesterday).
  The disk is configured in performance mode, I'm testing battery economy - should I?

  And no, the drive took a beating. I was the first person to turn it on.

  The drive is Hitachi, I don't run their analysis - no error.

  Any help is greatly appreciated: o)

  > The drive makes some noises clicking on, not as a dying drive or work. It's the same sound when you turn a disc, just a lot stronger. I guess that's the "arm of disc" that goes into its safe position.

  One of my computer portable HARD drive makes such noise too.

  I m not exactly why, but I also think that it is at the head of discs moving record position.

  However, I think that this is not really a malfunction since the laptop works pretty well and I didn't notice any problems with the HARD drive or files but I have created a backup of my files, just to be sure that you know
  I think you should save the date just to be sure
