HARD S70t-A-10R satellite after only 2 drive failure years use

Hello

I bought a Satellite S70t - A - 10R in June 2014, and for a week, the pc cannot log on to windows.
I tried to fix, reset and reinstall, but all tests failed because the HARD drive is supposed to have bad sectors on the HARD disk: is this normal after less than two years used to get this omission on a HARD drive?
I have clearly I have a very safe use of my pc (no travel).

We offers Toshiba is such a case?

Kind regards

Bernard

PC parts can fail at any time, especially items with moving parts.
New HARD drives are cheap these days. A local PC shop can sell you one for about $100. Or you could upgrade to an SSD that should last longer since there are no moving parts.

  • To the Satellite 2450-101 DVD drive failure

    Hi guys again...

    I have another problem with my old laptop Toshiba Satellite 2450-101 which I hope you can help me with.

    It is curious that the drive is still listed in device as Manager works correctly.
    Would have to be a complete reinstallation to get it back again when the process would start over.

    Now during the boot process, a message appears at the top of the screen saying "error Eide...

    In both cases, readers are completely dead and does not eject even trays.

    You can boot from the bootable CD?

    If so, then try to remove the upperfilters and lowerfilters:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?ID=314060

    If you cannot start from the CD, then either:

    (1) the ODD or another component of the motherboard connector is defective / in bulk.
    (2) the original Teac ODD is defective, and the new Sony is not compatible (has the wrong master/slave settings)

  • Satellite C660 is slow - drive 'failure '?

    Hello Forum - I hope someone can help.

    My children (PC) run a C660-IST (two years). I say "run" - the machine is going at a snail pace. Confession - their father always worked on Apple (I know, I know...) then i@m beating everywhere to try to help them. With success limited.

    I found called 'Computer' and he said:

    Hard drives (3)

    WINDOWS (C :)) 81.3 GB free of 149 GB
    Data (:)) free d GB 148 141 GB
    Microsoft Office 2010 click-toRun (protected) (q)

    I had thought that children had simply filled memory working with games (Sims and Zoo Tycoon), but - looking at the available memory which doesn't seem to be the case.

    So I ran the program 'Diagnostic Tool'. Everything was going well... until he ran the 'HARD drive '. And he says 'FAIL' in the box 'results '.

    It's that I could get. Not sure why the result of the 'FAIL' is here. Don't know what the children may have done to the machine.

    Two questions:

    -"disc HARD FAILURE" would cause the machine so slow?

    and

    -What can I do to try to solve the problem?

    Please, be soft with any response - PC management is NOT my forte!

    Thank you very much

    > "disc HARD FAILURE" would cause the machine so slow?

    Yes, a faulty HARD disk can be the reason for the performance of the slow laptop.

    > can I do to try to solve the problem?

    There are some things that need to be clarified.
    If its a drive problem HARD physics, the only real solution is: replacing the HARD drive.
    If the problem is related to bad sectors and files stored on the HARD drive, the solution could be much easier:
    First of all I recommend you clean the system using CCleaner (freeware software)
    You could delete the stored time.
    Additional you may defragment HARD drive partitions.
    Here is a nice article from Microsoft:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/atwork/maintenance/speed.aspx#fBid=opdomAEomx0

    But if you notice any improvements, you can format the HARD drive and install the system using the Toshiba recovery disc.

  • Means of hard drive failure cannot use the recovery partition. Alas! recovery discs will not read!

    Hard drive decided to throw a wobbly and abandon me. I can't access the drive at all so decided to but a new and use the recovery at least discs bring the machine to its status as an out-of-box.

    That's the problem... It will not read the recovery disc. I know there is some stuff about it because I read in another machine. Until you tell me to change the DVD hardware... it reads very well all the other disks. I loaded Arcronis, as well as other system repair stuff, using the DVD Player/Recorder.

    I have a pukka Product Code for the software, Vista Home Basic. Can I get a Vista Home Basic disc and then use my key to sting?  I'm happy to pay a price, but do not want to buy at the price high. After all, I already paid for it once!

    Any help/suggestions will be much appreciated.

    Mr. Blue Screen.

    Hello

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

    To be honest I've never had such a problem which means this occurs only if you try to start a download?

  • Z10 blackBerry dead after only 5 hours battery

    I don't want happened to my Z10, but after only 5 hours and no use a fully charged battery is dead. I bought a new battery but no change. I wish there was an option to completely reinstall the operating system. I have installed all apps

    Always start with a battery pull when something goes wrong with your phone.  There could be something in the operating system that is not aware and a battery pull will often correct this.  To make a correct battery pull, remove the battery while your phone is on, then replace it.

    I hope that helps you.

  • After system recovery driver problems

    After a total hard drive failure, I used the recovery disks to reinstall Windows XP Pro. Nine drivers are absent, and the customer support needed to help me find and install. The system is now updated to current levels and works very well. However two questions pilot apparently associated are:

    (1) when you start up the computer, a program called Apoint.exe is started from the STARTUP group. It does not end, but lies in the status bar at the bottom of the screen. When I click on it, I get a black screen with a symbol flashes in the upper left corner and a white square cursor. I can put end to the program with no problem apparent but would like to have complete normally or not run at all. Seems to be related to the touchpad driver.

    (2) from the start, something like 25 language files named Arabic.bin, etc. to let in the TEMP directory. They seem to be related to the Realtek Audio driver. I can delete them without apparent problem, but they come back the next time. Very annoying.

    I have a windows vista pro (PSAASE-00G004GR) satellite after turn on and typing the password for windows vista, the screen goes black but I see that the cursor moves & because it seems that the hard drive also works in th background, but I can't see anything except the mouse cursor , I tried to boor with other options (LAST WORK safe MODE KNOWN FEATURES... etc) but it's still the same only black screen and the cursor...

    I do not prefer the product cause of my data recovery on this subject, any ideas?
    thnx

    Hello

    You have the Satellite Pro A100 PSAAS hmm if you want to save your personal data, I recommend to remove the portable computer HARD drive and try connecting it to another computer via an external USB HDD controller. These cases of 2.5 HARD disk are not expensive and you can buy it in every store of the computer.

    Then you could try to recover the laptop delivered together with the Toshiba Recovery CD.
    But wait; have you tried to connect the laptop to the external display?
    Check it!
    Maybe you could see something on the second screen.

    I think that this procedure could be useful to clarify what s wrong.
    To me this question looks like a small little dysfunction of the FL inverter.
    In this case the installation of the new operating system will help you not to solve this problem.

    But who knows the verification is necessary to find what could be wrong.

    Good luck and bye ;)

  • Serial number rubbed off after only 4 days on Satellite Pro L

    I would like to express my shock that important information on the back of my laptop almost completely rubbed off after only four days of use, Inc. serial number, model number, voltage/ampage, etc.. I bought a toshiba laptop on the premise that their laptops were reliable compared to the rest. It bodes not well when something as simple as a series rubs number turned off after such a short time.

    At a point, this information is important for situations of warranty/returns? I hope not. However, even if not, is there anywhere else on the laptop where this information is displayed?

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    First of all the series (series of windows key) which is placed at the bottom of the unit is an OEM key. You cannot use it in relation to other OS.
    The OS from Toshiba is already enabled and therefore the serial key is not necessary for you.

    The serial number of the laptop is also placed at the bottom of the unit.
    And as suggested by Feliks portable low s side doesn't touch the table at all. So it cannot be rubbed. What can happen if you carry the laptop in the laptop bag or where the bottom of portable computers would be rubbing against the surface of the bag.
    Perhaps you could ensure the label using a tape or similar

  • Satellite L655D-011-HDD/SSD Alert, HARD drive failure?

    I have an old L655D-011 of 6 months and yesterday it started to appear with the message to back up my files because there is a problem with my HARD drive. Well, after having a technical support in the past, I don't give that easily and simply run my laptop to the nearest authorized service center. Instead, I help out.

    I did the BIOS update finally. No change in question.
    Finally had time to create a recovery media. No problem with that at all.
    I reformatted. No change in question.
    Checked the health monitor. It shows that my HARD drive is "good". Yet, when I double-click the icon, I get a pop - up with the following message:

    "Toshiba HDD/SSD Alert."

    Disk0

    Your HARD drive is SMART failure to predict which monitors the status of operation of the HARD drive. Your HARD drive is facing a problem and CHIP controlling the software predicts that the HARD drive will fail. Toshiba strongly recommends that you create a back-up to the date of your HARD drive. Contact an authorized service provider to check your drive and buy a new replacement if necessary. »

    So, after that I decided to run a CHKDSK /f /r. Result: 'windows replaced bad clusters in file name \hiberfil.sys 44990.'

    I should be good to go, right? N ° same problem with the precaution of backing up my files.

    But this isn't good, is it? If my HARD drive is about to fail why monitor health show that everything is "good"? There is no problem with gel, pxe.boot errors, rattling disc, unusual vibrations or read/write failures.

    So, my questions (after all the above and see other threads to ask questions about HARD drive failure messages) are: were there any known issues where the SMART software does not work correctly? Are failure drives hard all from the same manufacturer (I've seen this happen - get a bad batch of a single manufacturer HARD drive)? The health monitor working correctly?

    In my opinion your questions cannot be answered simply.
    > Are there any known issues where the SMART software does not work correctly?
    How many people must confirm that they have the same problem? I guess this happens from time to time, but you cannot say that this problem is known.
    You will always find people who noticed the same issue and not on Toshiba forum only, but on all the forums where people discuss cell phones in general.
    > Is the disk failure hard all from the same manufacturer (I've seen this happen - get a bad batch of a single manufacturer HARD drive)?
    How to check or confirm this?

    You know, during the first backup all your important data, watch carefully what happens the next few days. If the info appears again and again, contact the nearest service Toshiba and let them Exchange the HARD drive.
    The guarantee is valid and it will be free of charge.

  • Satellite L300 - made HARD drive failure?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L300 age of 4 years (under Vista) who is suddenly suspended frequently.
    A bit of investigation leads me to think that it is a hard drive failure.
    Basically, chkdsk/r crashes at step 4. Disk defragmentation also blocks.

    I can start safe mode, and it seems to work ok.
    Is not an expert, could someone tell me if I jump to the wrong conclusion?
    Y at - it a diagnostic tool to specific hard drive from Toshiba that I could use?

    If the standard duration for these hard drives 4 years?

    Finally, when a hard drive crashes, it's just the specific physical areas that are illegible? or will it progessively spread and worsen very quickly?

    And I have everything backed up if not concerned about data loss but I was wondering about the short-term future.

    Thank you for any advice and provided thoughts.

    > Is there a diagnostic tool to specific hard drive from Toshiba that I could use?

    You can use another tool of diagnosis of HARD disk as disk HARD Drive Fitness Test.
    This freeware tool that allows you to scan the HARD drive.

    This software creates a diagnostic boot disk and you will need to boot from this drive to run the test.

    > Finally, when a hard drive fails, is it only specific physical areas that are illegible? or will gradually expand and worsen very quickly?

    HARD drive problems are always difficult.
    In most cases if the HARD drive crashes, you will be able to access files stored on the HARD drive.
    But different COMPUTER experts would still be able to recover files lost with special tools. But in most cases, these rescue operations are expensive and cost a lot of money.
