Hard drive with the Portege A200 problem

I just bought a Portege A200 a few months previously and recently noticed the hard drive starts to make noise 'rough '. Anyone can:
(1) advise what could be the problem, or is this normal?
(2) to recommend what is the best way/tool/program to check the State of fitness of the hard drive?

Thanks for help. Very happy.

Specifications:
Portege A200; 60 GB; Window XP Professional

Hi ccm

In my opinion, the HARD drive should run pretty quiet. You can still hear sounds, but they should not be strong. If the unit is a new brand, you must contact the partner in your country, and they can check if there are a few HARD drive malfunction. If it is necessary to change something, the warranty will cover all costs.

Hi stan

Sorry, but you should be smart enough to know that this kind of information is not for advertising. On this way, each stolen unit can be started. The best solution is to contact the Service partner and they can remove the password.

Good bye

  • Replacing the hard drive on my Portege A200

    Hi, I would like to replace the hard drive in my a200 with a bigger, but I don't know how to remove the current, just wondering if any of you guys could help me?

    Thank you james

    Hello James

    Unfortunately the A200 does not for me, but the concept is still the same. At first check if you can find coverage of HARD drive in the lower corner of your unit. If you can't find it from the outside as it comes to the very complicated situation. It is possible that the HARD drive is under the keyboard.

    If you have not many don't experience do it alone, because you can damage something, and the guarantee is no longer valid.

    Good luck!

  • Can I use 2 hard drives on the Satellite A200-1YX

    Hello, who knows if it can work 2 hard drives on the A200 1YX.
    In the manual is written there are 2 locations for hard drives, but it says that for some models of Satellite A200.

    Can I use 2 HDD on Satellite A200-1YX?

    As mentioned by user above, different Satellite A200 series are present on the market.
    Some supports 2 hard drives and some as a single HARD drive.

    But both series are equipped with a second Bay I recommend you simply remove the cover plastic that holds the second HARD drive Bay and check if the HARD drive connectors are available.

    Good bye

  • How to install the second hard drive in the Satellite A200-1 of body weight?

    I see my new Satellite A200-1 of body weight has two hard drive bays, the research in the second span, I don't see how a second drive can be mounted as the plug into the Jack seems to be missing.

    What parts do I have to mount to place a second drive that they are held in stock by out of the local computer and are quite cheap, can someone advise me on part numbers etc of the bits I need.
    Thank you

    Hello

    I know that this empty place for second HARD drive is a bit confusing, but the same situation is with my A200-1CR. The fact is that some A200 models come with 2 hard drives and laptop case design this place must be prepared for this second HDD.

    But this does not mean that each A200 can be improved for the second HARD drive.

  • Installed new HARD drive with the new installation of XP, old HDD ShowAs saw as the active partition, how to change this?

    I installed a new HARD drive with a new installation of Windows XP Edition family. I want to keep the old HDD and reformat the drive, but I can't because the second HDD is listed as active in the management of the computer. Why? It's not the drive that contains the operating system (Windows XP) that is initialized from.  I put the BIOS such that the new HARD drive is the boot drive. The old HDD has Windows XP on it, but isn't the startup disk. I just don't understand.
    If only the new HARD drive is installed, the computer management doesn't show that it or any other of its partitions are the active partition (C drive is listed as the system partition, of course).

    How can I get an active partition and no active partition when the new HARD drive is installed on a HARD drive that is not the boot drive, when I have two hard drives installed?

    In case it is necessary, the new HARD drive is a SATA and the old HARD drive is IDE with the cavaliers as a slave.

    The system partition is the Active partition. The system volume contains the system files needed to start Windows, Windows XP, these system files are:

    NTLDR
    Boot.ini
    NTDETECT.COM
    Ntbootdd.sys (present/used only with older SCSI controllers)

    Windows files are not necessarily on the system volume, they can reside on another volume, when on a different volume this volume holding Windows files is called the boot volume.

    When you install Windows on a computer, playing a mixture of IDE and SATA setup discs tends to favor with IDE drives on SATA drives and tends to use the IDE drive to house the system partition, (even if Windows is installed on a different drive).

    Running the command SYSTEM SET at a command prompt may shed some light on the problem...

  • Windows 8 does not see the hard drive on the Satellite A200

    Windows 8 does not see the hard drive on the A200.
    How to install it?

    S strange Windows 8 should already contain the HARD drive controller driver to recognize the HARD drive during installation.
    The HARD drive is visible in the BIOS?

    Do you use the original disc from Microsoft of Windows 8?

  • Recovery on satellite Pro C660 - 2KM with new HARD drive with the restored recovery partition

    Hey people,
    I had a problem with a virus on this sat pro, so I decided to completely erase the hard drive to get rid of this virus. Before I did, I saved everything partiton D including the recovery path and after clearing course, I copied everything returns to a place (second partition).
    Now, try to recover and do not know how to do it. F11, F10 and F8 seems to not work. Do I need the recovery media created with recovery media creator or can I still use the recovery on the new partition D: path?
    Thanks for your help in advance,
    Stefan

    Unfortunately, recovery doesn't work on this path.
    What you need now is the recovery disk.
    In general the recovery image on the second partition is useless and you will not be able to start.

  • How to share a second hard drive with the residential group / network?

    Initially, I posted this to the security and privacy but we told him it should be under the sons of the network.  Here's hoping someone can help.

    I have a desktop computer and a laptop both running W7 Home Professional 64 bit.  On the desktop, I have 2 hard drives - C has programs, D has the data.  On the laptop, I'm just a hard drive.

    Each machine can see the other time under residential group and network.  From the Office I can access files that are on the laptop but I can't do the reverse.

    The laptop can see the desktop drive D and all folders that I shared, but when I try to dig into a folder I get a message saying I don't have permission to access the folder.  In this case, if I try to access using either homegroup or the network.

    On the desktop, when I look at the properties of the D drive it shows as a shared network drive.  Individual records within D show shared with permissions of read/write with anyone and/or homegroup.

    What did I do wrong (or failed to do) to allow me to access the files on the disk D of desktop from the laptop?

    Hello

    Step 1: Try to run the troubleshooter of shared folders and check.

  • You can use an external hard drive with the Mac Mini?

    I've seen videos that say that we cannot increase the ram on a min of Mac, but I'm curious if this works like an ordinary computer, if we can attach an external hard drive to store some of the memory to free up space. Sorry if this is something stupid just need to know what I can do with it.

    You can use an external hard drive to boot and run with any Mac. Its not going to improve or replace your ram. If you use a mechanical hard drive in any Mac then help and boot from an external drive, especially if it's a SSD will be significantly faster.
