• Pavilion 15-n211dx: Hp Pavilion 15-n211dx hard drive problems

  Hello

  Last March, I bought a Hp Pavilion n211dx-15 and 9 months after I bought it, I had some problems with the RAM because of my eletricity, but I already bought a new pair of ram sticks. I tried to do the system recovery Image minimized by myself because I didn't know it was a problem of ram, in the middle of the installation, the computer froze and the pixels have been going nuts. In any case, when I had the fixed ram, I started the computer and I saw that I had altogether 90 GB of HARD disk space (it comes with a 750 GB HARD drive), the windows installation is fine and all, but my HDD shows that 90GB total and the computer comes with a 750 GB HARD drive , I do not have what to do (if I have to install stuff and HARD drive drivers).

  Thank you

  original title: installation of Windows 7

  Hey Joe,

  I suggest that you visit the gigabyte website for your region (and/or the site global http://www.gigabyte.com/?f=g ) and check your motherboard for compatibility with Windows 7.

  The problem you are experiencing would imply that Windows 7 has no native driver support for your disk controller, so if Gigabyte don't have drivers that you are locked unless you buy a discreet disk controller that is compatible Windows 7.

  Please mark this as useful or response if applicable.

  On the other hand, you have this posted in a forum of Windows XP when it is really a problem of Windows 7.

• Qosmio F60 turning is not on - HARD drive problem

  My F60 running stock windows 7 and when I turn it on I get a black screen with the following text:

  + Check the file system on C: +.
  + the type of file system is NTFS.
  + Volume name is s3a5802d002 +.
  + One of your disks needs to be checked for conisitency. +
  + You can cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended that you continue.
  + To skip verification of the disc, press any key within 10 seconds.

  If I leave it just like that.
  I try to ignore it, and it does not work so I turn it off and go again on the third time, to turn on while I press ESC. What should I do about it?

  Hello

  It sounds a bit like a HARD drive problem.
  I recommend checking out the HARD drive using a free tool called Drive Fitness Test
  This free tool allows you to get more details on the State of the HARD drive and maybe some error would be detected which would mean that HARD drive failures and disk HARD must be replaced.

• Alternative to the reset by Satellite A660 for potential HARD drive problem

  In the last week or two, I got a few blue screens, saying he was driving demand, and that windows must be shut down to avoid damage my computer.

  I have just restart and continue working.
  The last time it happened, I had repeatedly "initialization failed" and it says hdd, SDS, fdd. If I pressed the power button until I didn't see no signs of activity, then started. Things went well. I called Toshiba support and they recommended that I go home and save my files before continuing. It took hours selectively to clean, sort the previous backups, and a small footprint of the backup system.

  When I called Toshiba once again, they recommended a "takeover", which is restoring the factory settings. It puts me in the stone age. I have to go through a never-ending process of the upgrade to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, install and reconfigure all the applications and environments/configurations, etc. It will essentially take on holiday, if not more. I'll also have to get another computer (maybe a netbook) to stay in touch while I restart my laptop. It's barely more than a year.

  Is there a diagnosis I can do to determine the probability that there is a hard drive problem? Support for Toshiba said that is the surest way, because it provides a diagnostic F10 for the hard disk code, and it also pushes the bad sectors at the end of the disc (logically, I suppose, since you can't physically move a fault).

  > About Hitachi DFT, is it important that my HARD drive is Toshiba mk6465gsx? This is what is displayed "Hard drives" in the Device Manager.

  It s no matter what HARD drive manufacturer, it is the Drive Fitness Test is able to scan all hard drives to find errors.

  > Also, http://www.hitachigst.com/support/downloads/#DFTshows links to create boot disks, but I was wondering if I could create a bootable instead.

  Not sure if this is possible if there is that one option to create a startup disk, and then a flash stick does not work. But of course you can try this out.

  > This laptop does not come with a floppy drive, and I still create coasters trying to burn discs.
  You don't need the floppy drive, the tool must create a disk bootable (CD)

  > I guess that the same question can be asked on Memtest86. Another issue is the relevance of Memtest86 for my system. My c drive has a "Program Files" folder, but also a "Program Files (x 86)" folder for 32-bit applications. Memtest86 is for the x 86 architecture. I don't know if my 64-bit Windows 7 involves a non - x 86 architecture.

  I guess that Memtest86 should also work on Win 7 64 bit systems. But also the MemTest 4.20 is 64-bit capable

• Satellite A100: UNMOUNTED_BOOT_VOLUME HARD drive problem

  My A100 (XP media edition) does not start at the top is normal, safe mode (all types), the last known config as the recovery disk does not work. Error message is unmounted_boot_volume.

  Is there a solution?
  is that what the recoverable data?
  If the new HARD drive is purchased the recovery disk allows you to reinstall the OS?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Robbo88

  As far as I know this error message appears if the HARD drive boot sector is damaged.
  Usually, the new installation of the operating system should help to get rid of this problem.

  If you cannot boot from the recovery CD, I would recommend the original Microsoft windows XP CD boot and start the repair console. Here, you can use the fixmbr command to repair the boot sector.

  Of course, this problem can be caused by a HARD disk failure.
  In this case, the HARD drive must be replaced.

• Satellite M60-164 with Major hard drive problems

  All started about 3 months ago. Whenever the computer is started, he would get a certain distance the BSOD do turn up and disappear immediately and the computer should restart. Yesterday, I discovered the F8 trick to make the stick BSOD around for quite some time. It turns out that the problem was an "Unmountable Boot Volume". I inserted my Windows CD and ran the repair center thingydingy and entered chkdsk/r. He said there seems to be unrecoverable problems on the hard drive.

  I bought the computer 2 years ago, and I think that I only have a 1 year warranty.

  What are my options?

  Thank you

  Looks a bit like a HARD disk failure!
  Have you tried to reinstall the operating system on the HARD drive?
  Check if this is possible

  After the installation of the OS, you can try running a like for example the HDD Regenerator HDD repair tools.

  If this does not check if the replacement of HARD drive helps you solve this problem!

• Pavilion dv7 - 4263cl: hard drive problems

  Long story short, OS could not start windows with a missing BOOTMGR message, recovery disc, not work, ordered new HP recovery disks.  To cover, I ordered a new hard drive to replace it, with the same characteristics but a 1 Toshiba to.

  OK, installed the hard drive and used recovery disks at HP, but when you restart always get BOOTMGR missing error message.  Make a new recovery disk for windows 7 64 bit internet and serious on a bootable CD.  It starts, but found recovery does not list an OS system on hard drive.   Did the hard restart more once, install hardrive checked again, the cables and connections.  Took another installation of the HP recovery discs and also led a bootable disc that was to fix the problems with installing a new HHD and activation of the HHD working properly. Working always nothing. Get the same message.  Cast recovery manager got into the prompt orders and done a repair of the bootrec nothing / new. Checked the directory and found at the bottom of the list that it lists zero OS System.  So, how can I get my hard drive formatted to accept the installation of the OS? Any ideas to try, I have read and tried all the messages, I could very well on this forum.   Thank you...

  Thanks for the reply, yes my hard drive failed and I installed a new one, but after using the purchased HP recovery disc though HP, showed that a black bootmgr error saying screen was missing.

  Found on the HP disks partitioned hard drive, with windows on X:\ but was again start-up C:\ which was just a recovery image.   X drive was not complete, he lacked all the drivers and could not activate or change and C disc drive letter. I didn't know how to do this in the command prompt.

  Fixed my problem with a windows 7 installation no disc not the recovery disks that came from HP, if all goes well, they will work to reinstall all drivers to the laptop, but we'll see.  Used (computer repair) on the installation disk and it repaired the bootmgr.  Thanks anyway...

• Win7 - > Win10, multiple hard drives problem

  Hello!

  Followed all the instructions (see the links on the bottom) and tried to install win10 all means, USB and via winUpdate, etc with no result. It took several hours to eliminate all other options, the problem is several hard drives. What I really need to disconnect all other drives to get win10 installed? Because now if I disconnect them, my current win7 will notice it as a hardware change and does not start properly you want to run the complete repair or new installation. I can't install my win7 since the thing began with a single hard drive first and then install win10 to get my other HARD drives work. It's as full of 2 working days to get it all done with my installed programs and make them work again! Is here from a fix to correctly get the installation work of win10 or same installer with some sort of partition program as win7 Setup has? SE win10 is not a simple task, even it's free.

• Satellite A210 - 17l BIos update to take care of advanced format HARD drive problem

  Hi all

  Really hoping someone can help me with this.

  My old HDD not was not so I cloned the entire disc before it failed. -Just in time, too.

  I ordered a new drive - it's a WD scorpio black - Advanced format.

  Unfortunately I can't get my picture on this new album.

  Also, I am unable to do a reinstall with the original restore also cd because it doesn't have service pack 1 and that means that it can't recognize the HD.

  In any case id prefer to be able to restore my image and not make a re-install when even if possible.

  So my question is this:

  Y at - it an update of the bios I can ask my another pc version 2.00 is available which will include options to change the options of ide drive - ahci?

  It's the only solution I can think of-bearing in mind I do not have an operating system installed, so the alignment tools are not an option as another fix. -Fast technology of storage Intel drivers do not work, because I have an AMD athlon processor.

  So is there any BIOS I can Flash my computer with to activate the options mentioned?

  I have a method to Flash the bios with a BONE, so this isn't a problem.

  Also other suggestions for workaround on this more than welcome.

  Thanks :))

  The_red_pill.

  Hello

  Update BIOS don t help you. To my knowledge, it does not add additional options such as a switch between AHCI and compatible mode.
  In addition, you can use ANY BIOS. You must use the BIOS that came out for the model of laptop. But as I said, this isn't a solution.

  In addition, the image of Toshiba already contains all the drivers in order to install the system. It s any SP1 isn t the image part.

  I guess you're talking about Vista OS, given that the laptop came with pre-installed Vista OS. http://www.Toshiba.co.UK/discontinued-products/Equium-A210-17I/

  I recommend you format the HARD drive first.
  Use a tool called Gparted. You can create a bootable USB key containing this tool.
  This allows to start Notepad in order to format the HARD drive.
