Hard drive Z70-80 100%

Brand new Z70-80 that I bought yesterday. Use of the hard drive is pretty well pegged at 100% all the time, and I have no idea how to determine what is the cause. The Task Manager indicates that 'System' is using 2.5 MB/s, and my laptop is slow to respond to many things.

  • Hard drive 100% Windows 8 ALL THE TIME!

    Hi all

    My computer was working fine on Windows 8 and after that windows update setup it just crashed. When you open the Task Manager, he told me that the hard drive is ALWAYS 100% usage while I have no programs or processes running. I tried to restore windows from the beginning and now I have no programs, software antivirus, absolutely nothing installed and the problem persists.
    Appreciate your help, I'm desperate.

    Hello Daniel,.

    Thank you for your reply,

    There may be a possibility of some third-party programs running in the background causing the CPU usage to 100%. AutoRuns from Microsoft is a very complete tool that shows what programs are configured to run during system startup or login and shows treat you the Windows control inputs.

    I'd suggest to remove all yellow or red shaded entries that reads (file not found). Also, you can check Disable all non-essential programs of the AutoRun and allowing a identify the one that is causing this problem.

    Here is the link of the Windows AutoRuns tool:

  • Qosmio F60-111 - HARD drive replacement

    I have a F60-111 and he had a problem bad hard drive several months ago, he was not even a year and was already late and crashing all the time. I have 3 years international warranty for it, so I sent the laptop in Saudi Arabia and the hard drive was replaced in January, I got just now, but I am disappointed. The laptop works, of course, but the replacement hard drive was only 100 GB, which is a big downgrade of its original capacity of 600 GB.

    My problem is my laptop has been repaired, but it was replaced by a lower capacity hard drive. I feel blurry, am I entitled to compensation? Thank you.

    Hello

    That s is truly amazing. Please don t wait so long and communicate with this service as soon as possible. Explain the situation and ask their explanation. Something like that should not happen, and the defective HARD drive must be exchanged with the same.

    If they do not cooperate you should comment a threat by directly contacting Toshiba.

    Hello

    Are you sure that the HARD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS?
    Seems that the laptop does not support the new drive (100 GB, 7200 RPM).

    Perhaps because of the large size of HARD drive and the fast rotation value.
    I would try to use a 60GB 5400 RPM a 80 GB HARD drive maybe works but it seems that the 100 GB HARD drive is not compatible

  • Slow performance on Satellite A30 HARD drive

    Hello

    Recovery of my Satellite A30 CDs become damaged so I acquired a full oem version of XP Home and installed after activation etc, I installed the drivers provided by the tools and utilities CDROM, but after installation the HDD is really slow, it takes 15 minutes to start and has a time, there is nothing wrong with the hard drive that I placed in a casing external and tested , and he turned to normal speed etc.
    Does anyone have an idea about this problem? #

    Thank you

    Ewan

    Hello Ewan

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here. Are you sure that the HARD drive is OK 100%. I recommend you scan the HARD drive and see if there may be some bad sectors. I had a similar situation with my old 1800 satellite. In the beginning, everything is ok, but with more content and more on the drive HARD, HARD drive was slower and slower.

    15 minutes to boot after installation of clean operating system is really strange.

  • Need help hard drive M55

    I just bought an office used for thinkcenter M55 (8808w7t), which has no operating system on it.

    I have a new current USB 320 external hard drive with an internal hard drive IDE ATA/100 in there with my current windows OS XP Home on it and all my files. (I bought this for my default Dell original replacement hard drive)

    What would be the best way to transfer my current content of the USB hard drive to a new drive hard internal SATA in the IBM PC and the size of a hard drive can accept this computer?

    I have Acronis True Image 11 software and the only Windows xp CD I have is my operating system from Dell restore CD.

    And my external hard drive USB this will work for the backup with this PC?

    Under Linux, you will need to download and save the update to the bios. ISO file. Burn it. ISO image to a cd, set your bios to start from the cd, restart and check all your bios settings, mine was due to my original settings.

    Maybe someone should do cela a sticky for other linux users?

  • sleekbook 14-f021nr Hard Drive Upgrade

    I am trying to upgrade my HP Pavilion Sleekbook 14-f021nr.  So far, I love the touchscreen but performace wise this thing is not desirable.   I've already doubled the RAM from 4 GB to 8 GB Win 8.1 can get alittle hungry.  When the monitoring task manager, I also noticed that often the hard drive runs at 100%, so I reduced the number of processes that automatically at Windows startup.  That didn't seem to help so my next point of attachment is upgraded to HD.  I currently have the standard HD 750 GB (ST750LM022 HN - M7) that came from the factory.  I looked in the service manual and it doesn't talk much about what is compatible other than SATA drives spinning @ 5400 standards.  While I can't quite afford to buy an SSD of 750Go to go to there are some affordable hybrid out there that combine both Solid State and traditional hard drives.  However, I did find a lot of documentation on compatibility issues for my laptop model.  Are there special considerations that I think about upgrading the hard drive.  I'm assuming SATAIII is a given but all the serice manual aludes to East of 5400 for spin speed and even talking SSD drives.  I was watching a couple of hybrid drives Seagate 1 TB and disks 1 TB Western Digital Black hybrid.   Advice or specifications would be greatly appreciated.

    You're definitely on the right track. An SSD is the new upgrade of the processor. Here is the Manual:

    Manual

    See Page 38. Unfortunately, yours is one of the models where it is very difficult to get to the memory and the hard drive and you put the guarantee in jepoardy trying to upgrade the components. Given that you already upgraded the RAM I guess you know what you have found yourself, however.

    You won't be compatibility issues with any of the readers that you have mentioned. I will say that the true SSD is in a League by itself, but hybrid hard drives that you mention are also much faster than a stock 5400 drive RPM.

    Since you do not have an optical drive built in, migration of the software is also a problem. Your best bet is to clone the existing installation to the new drive using an external usb adapter to SATA.

  • ThinkPad z60m hard drive upgrade

    Hi all I have a thinkpad z60m I bought for a price very low. When I bought the laptop, it has been configured with processor 1.73GHz PM, 256 MB RAM and 40 GB HDD. I've already updated the memory to 2 GB to speed it up and it works well but I am now running out of space, and I want to switch the hard disk. Does anyone know the maximum capacity that can handle this laptop? It says in the manual that it can handle a maximum of 100 GB hard drive. But I came across this site Web offers a 160 GB HDD at 7200 RPM which is supposed to work with z60t z60m and t60 thinkpad. I cannot more than 100 GB for the main hard drive? Anyone here has tried to install a larger than 100 GB HDD main to a z60m? It work? I know I have a lot of questions, but I hope that someone could help me. Thanks in advance!

    Welcome to the forum!

    You can install a HARD drive larger than 100 GB to your machine, no problem. The reason why you see a limit of 100 GB in release documents is the fact that it was available at the time the largest HARD drive...

    I hope this helps.

  • Change the hard drive of my Inspiron 9300

    Hello!

    This is my first post on this forum.

    Since July 2005, I have a Dell Inspiron 9300.

    As it is now out of warranty, I would change the hard drive in it.

    So I have a few questions, I'm looking for answers to if possible.

    I will present my questions in two different parts, the first is on the material, the disc itself and then the software thing.

    (A) material:

    (1) should what equipment I expect? I know it's a hard disk IDE, so I guess I have to get the same kind, in parallel ATA works?

    (2) I read here and there that the BIOS is limited to hard drives 120 GB, because more is not supported by the latter. You know a way to expand this capacity? (Only a medium chest!)

    (3) what kind of drives advise you? (Brand, speed, etc...)

    (4) I read on description hard drive 'IDE ATA 100' or ' IDE ATA 133 "in online shops, you know what it is?

    (B) software:

    (1) I would like to be sure that I will install the same things as when I do "Ctrl + F11", for the utility norton Ghost (want to keep this option!), which reinstall the entire computer with factory settings. I will get this during the installation with the recovery CD? Or you have a way to get this? (I want the same computer I have today, except a different HDD only!)

    (2) do you know how to create a D: partition, so that I have a part for programs and a part for the storage of the files?

    (3) how to install, is it: replace drive HARD; start the computer while starting on the recovery CD, Partition the disk HARD C: and D: (with the D: partitioned within the C: drive, I guess) and complete the installation of windows with the included Dell factory settings?

    I hope that I won't bore you with my questions, and you'll be able to answer. It would be nice, because I'm not a pro from the computer, only an amateur.

    Thank you very much

    Vincent

  • Replace a hard drive with 100 GB unit P10 - 804

    I want to replace the 60 GB hard drive in my P10 804 with a unit of 100 GB.

    Q1 - can someone confirm a 100 GB drive compatible?

    Can Q2 - someone point me to documentation showing how physically replace the drive?

    Thank you

    Roy

    Hi Roy,

    as far as I know, Toshiba offers no information on dismantling mashines, because you lose your warranty if you do this.

    To upgrade your HARD drive, you must go to a Toshiba Service partner.

  • Satellite 2430-101 is compatible with 100 GB HARD drive?

    Dear comrades,

    I immediately bought a Hitachi Travelstar 7K 100, 100G of HARD drive.
    Can I use this HARD drive with my laptop Toshiba 2430-101? Has anyone had experience with this combination?

    Kind regards

    No, you cannot use the 100 GB HARD drive.
    As far as I know the laptop supports following three HARD drive sizes:
    -30 GB (4200 RPM)
    -40 GB (4200 / 5400 RPM)
    -60 GB (4200 / 5400 RPM)

    More large hard disks could not be recognized by the BIOS.

  • Qosmio G10-100 - failed afer replacement with larger HARD drive HARD drive

    Following a failure in a Qosmio G10-100 HARD drive, I replaced the HD 80 GB IDE current with a 160 GB IDE drive. After execution of the recovery of the DVD, new HARD drive has been formatted and installed the software (later proved by removing the drive and treat as an exterrnal disk on another PC).

    However, on booting, the machine has recognized that it was another hard drive and it wouldn't let me go beyond the screen that offers alternatives (Safe Mode, etc.), nor what would allow me access.

    Counsel gratefully received

    > After running the recovery DVD, new HARD drive has been formatted and installed the software (later proved by removing the drive and treat as an exterrnal disk on another PC).

    Sorry mate but I put t understand what you did exactly
    You have installed the Windows operating system on the new HARD drive by using the recovery disk. Right?
    Well, the recovery procedure has completed correctly? The operating system has been successfully installed?

    Did repeat the installation of the OS?
    If this is not the case, repeat!

  • Portege R500-100 - drivers after format HARD drive

    Hey,.

    First post so go easy :)

    I reformatted my hard drive the other day, but the drivers for my laptop support is poor.

    The audio drivers are not working, I have several unknown devices in Device Manager in need of drivers, but I don't know what drivers to install.

    Anyone could point us in the right direction?

    Its a r500-100

    Hey Buddy,

    Why you are not satisfied with the Portege R500 driver support? I mean can you all the drivers on the site of Toshiba, and for most versions of Windows. Just follow the link posted by Al - eX.

    And you should install all the drivers you can find on the Toshiba site. After that, you use all the functions of your mobile phone and you get back to factory settings.

  • Satellite L20-100 can be started from a USB external hard drive?

    I recently bought Toshiba Satellite L20-100 and I wonder if:
    1. is it possible to boot this machine from a disk usb external drive?
    2. it is possible to attach another internal hard drive?

    Assuming that the two answers above are 'no', how can we solve the following problem: I need hard drive space, I need to launch 3 systems of separate Wxp operating on the same machine (Toshiba Satellite L20-100).

    You are right. The answer is no. Only thing you can do is to create 3 partitions and install on each a favorite OS. Using the Boot Manager, you will be able to choose one that fits in the beginning upward.
