How to check/modify spin-off / start-up of the drive in Satellite A300

Hi all

I would like to have more information on the * spin up/spin off / spin-down * disk hard of my * a300-1mz PSAGCE *.

As already discussed on this same forum, on its noise and clickiking, I think to * + a few ways to check and also change the spin off/on/down + * sound.
I felt to say that the * head _parking / s_ * hd generate such this annoying noise.

I'm trying to find some tools or other means to reach a solution to completely disable the spin-off.
I can't find anything about that in toshiba applications, so I decide to ask your support.
I hope in you.

Thank you

Hello

After a short investigation, I found a few useful tools:

"-"HD Tune"or HDD Health.
This tool controls the SMART values and reports on a few errors on the HARD drive

'Hitachi Feature Tool.
This tool is more like a HARD drive diagnostic tool and it supports more settings.

I have test didn't, but maybe it could be useful for you!

  • How to check if a connection is lost in the middle of processing a batch.

    Hello

    I use Oracle database 11g.
    The situation is that I have to run a batch of fixed intervals and copy data in my table from a remote database using a DB link.
    I have 3 tables, 1. Data original table, 2. Exported data table, 3. Status table.
    All the data from the remote database will be loaded into the table of data exported.
    As and as each copy is complete the status table will be updated with 'Y' if the export is successful and "n" If export is unsuccessful.
    When the export is completed, then the status table is activated, if the State Y then the exported data table data is copied in the Original data table after truncating all rows in the original data table. If the status is N then the Original data table will be intact.

    How to check if the export was successful for all exported data? What to do if the connection through DB link was lost when exporting?

    Thank you

    Nigel,

    No, just put everything in PL/SQL in a stored procedure is what I was suggesting (remember there are things such as external tables if you have to deal with text files). Then errors spread very well when you use start... except... end.

  • Re: How to use the second hard drive in Satellite A300?

    I got a second hand Satellite A300 which was to be thrown out due to a defective DVD.
    I fixed the DVD and have a perfect system.

    On opening the box, I discovered that there 2 x 250 GB hard drives. I checked CMOS and show the 2 drives. However, Vista displays only the a drive.

    Excuse my ignorance, but how do I access to the second drive?

    I have Satellite A300 with two hard drives and each HARD drive has another operating system. Both hard drives are recognized correctly.
    I put t know what the problem is here, but the two hard disks should be recognized automatically.
    Try to set the BIOS to default settings and check again.
    Try to start the check and install Microsoft bootable disk if the two hard disks are displayed in Setup.

    I just hope that there is not a hardware problem.

  • How do I use the recovery folder on the HDD repair Satellite A300

    Hi all

    I have Toshiba satellite A300, model No. PSAGCE-00C006AR,.

    My operating system is windows Vista Home premium.
    Recently, I was working on battery when my system is closed.

    When I connected charger and power he found that the display shows the message (Please wait) forever and does not allow me to enter my password.
    When I press the power button to shut down my PC and reboot in safe mode, I can enter my password and connect to my PC, and however, when I connect to the PC shows only black screen with pointer and nothing more.
    Start button does not respond, the icon my computer or all other icons do not appear on the desktop.

    I did the following steps in trying to repair my PC: -.

    1 I restarted my PC in safe mode with command prompt, you try to run chkdsk/r, however I got the error message that the disk is protected and that I can demand that it runs at the next reboot. I typed Y and restart, but chkdsk does not work although I restarted 2 times.
    2 I restarted my PC and select advanced option then startup repair problem, then I got the message that no problem was found.
    3 I also tried Toshiba HDD recovery, but could not find any folder recovery although there is about 1.5 GB partition that has everything.
    4 I tried the windows complete PC Restore, but I received a message that (a valid backup not found)
    5 that my PC is come without recovery CD, so I borrowed an and restart my PC from the CD and repair selected... etc, however I got the error message that the disk is write-protected once again.

    Any advice how I can get my rear work system will be appreciated and how do I use the recovery folder on the HARD disk and avoid the write-protected message?

    Hello

    Of course I don't know what the problem is exactly, but I'm confused on a few other facts.
    The fact is that Toshiba has created the reminder that informs the user on the first day that Toshiba doesn't offer the recovery DVDs and it is recommended to create such a DVD support immediately.

    Question about you: you created this recovery media?

    The Toshiba recovery image has nothing to do with the WinRE Vista 1.5 GB partition. Partition WinRE Vista feature. On new models of laptops Toshiba recovery image is saved in folder HDDRecovery on the second partition. If touch you didn t and if you didn t change anything with partitions you should be able to install Vista using this recovery image.

    After your computer is turned on press F8 and choose the first option (if available) computer repair. You can enter the Vista System Recovery Options. The last option should be Toshiba Recovery. If you didn t change anything, this option will be available.

  • Not able to start Ubuntu live CD or USB - Satellite A300-13 s

    Hello

    I hope someone can help me with that. I just got a new A300-13 s pre-installed with Windows Vista Home Premium. I managed to create a recovery DVD (after having had the same hassle of having to use a specific brand of DVD, as mentioned in other posts) and have tested the DVD, which works very well.

    My problem is this: I want to dual-boot with Ubuntu 8.10 and so have created a live CD to test that everything works before I realize a complete installation. I rebooted, but the laptop does not see the live CD and boot directly into Windows. I tried both the F12 Boot Manager and change the boot order of the bios via F2. Curiously, when the bios boot order is changed, Windows then can not see the DVD drive (via the computer - I haven't checked other roads on the disk).

    I know that the DVD player works when starting, because I can boot to the Windows recovery DVD.

    I thought it might be a problem of compatibility of the hard drive, but I can access the contents of the ubuntu CD (when the HARD drive is the first in the bios boot order). I also tried to copy the files on a USB key. The laptop can see the drive when you start, but do not consider the iso as a system valid. I did the checking relevant md5sum and they are all very good. The live CD is also work in another computer.

    Does anyone have any suggestions? Am I missing something?

    Thanks in advance - this is starting to get a little nuts.

    Have you tried to change the SATA Mode in the BIOS? You may need to put in compatibility/IDE mode.

  • Envy 17 j120na: 10 Windows will not start because of the driver installation failed

    History:

    I have a computer laptop j120na Envy 17 that came with windows 8.1.

    I did the free upgride for windows 10 the 18th of this month with success, but because I was not able to decrease or increase the brightness of my computer, or put it to sleep, I realized that I still had to download/update drivers. First I updated the driver GeForce since my SWsetup folder but for the other, I searched online for her, then I saw the driver download progress bar but no progress has been made. I closed the dialog close and there you go, laptop does not start, I just saw a spark between the mouse pointer and the circular blue contraption. Sometimes he shows me a BSOD with lock core auto boost with irql higher acquisition.

    Question:

    Is this a problem with the driver installation? And if so, how do I return it?

    P.s: System Restore is not an option, I restore point.

    Hi there @Aj1baba,

    Thank you for joining the Forums HP's Support and welcome! It is a great place to ask questions, find solutions and assistance of HP and the community! I read your post on the Forums of HP Support. I wanted to join you and help! I understand that you are receiving an error message that says "acquisition of lock core auto boost with irql high ' on your HP ENVY 17-j120na Notebook PC.

    The question could be deemed to occur by downloading the update. It is difficult to say at this stage. As to return to it, your best bet would have been the restoration of the system, but you mentioned only that a system restore does not work because you do not have restore points.

    Have you tried to go into Safe Mode?

    You have media or recovery disk?

    Have you tried to do a Reset BIOS?

    Have you tried perform a hard reset?

    You have beep codes or flashing LEDs?

    Please ensure that all Bluetooth device that you use with the laptop is disabled (including mobile phone).

    Please note: delete all USB/Bluetooth devices. Disconnect all devices of non-essential, as these can cause some problems.

    You can update all your drivers by going to the Web site the driver HP or by using the HP Support Assistant. If you enter Safe Mode, I suggest trying to erase the driver that you have downloaded your downloads (or the folder that you saved it in), so I suggest to make updates using updates of Windows or HP Support Assistant for now.

    Please let me know if I answered your question by clicking the "Thumbs up" if the troubleshooting in this post steps solves the problem for you please click on the button "Accept as Solution" . This will allow to the others is that present the same problem a solution also. If you need assistance, I would be more than happy to continue to help you.

    Hello

    I have a Satellite M50 - mx5 with a carpet * a DVD player. When I insert the CD or DVD, the player starts, turns the CD autour (the indicator light flashes)... but a few seconds later, the drive stops turning, but the DVD drive light is on.

    Windows also think that the DVD drive is empty.
    I also tried to boot Windows from the CD when the computer starts upward, but without success either.

    Ideas for what is wrong? Is my DVD drive broken?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Sorry to said but in my opinion, drive is dead and that the replacement allows the reader features can save.

    But be aware that not every drive is supported and can be used with the laptop!
    Take a look in the user manual. Sometimes the compatible players are listed.
    And it s useful to know that all parts can be ordered from the ASP in your country.

    have a nice weekend ;)

    How can I ensure that my Mac, applications are compatible with Sierra FRONT update?

    I read that some applications may not work more on macOS Sierra abandoned because of the garbage man.  Only thing I found was to use the command terminal otool - oV Applications/PROGRAMMNAME.app/Contents/MacOS/PROGRAMMNAME | tail - 3 to verify an application but I'd have to type that in hundreds of applications - is not good.

    You can see http://roaringapps.com/apps?platform=osx.

    If you want to check your applications manually, you can run this AppleScript:

    paragraphs of the allApps value (the shell script ' find/Applications / - name \"*.app\ '-maxdepth 2 |" ") SED EI \"s/\\(.*\\)\\/\\([^\\/]*\\).app/\\2/g\" ")

    Set compatibleApps to {}

    Set incompatibleApps to {}

    Repeat with PAP in allApps

    set this to the script ' otool - oV "shell & city form of (' / Applications /" PAP ".app/Contents/MacOS/" & PAP) & "|" tail - 3"

    If this contains "OBJC_IMAGE_SUPPORTS_GC" then

    Copy at the end of incompatibleApps PAP

    I have Skype on my Start menu but you want to wear this at the office... How to do it please...?

    Hello Anas,

    Which version of Skype app do you use, version of the modern user or the desktop version?

    We have two versions of the app Skype for Windows 8. One is the version of the modern user interface and the other is the desktop version. You can't pin the modern version of the application on the desktop user interface. However, you can create a shortcut to the desktop version of the app on desktop.

    Right click on the start screen and go to applications. You can get the desktop version of the Skype app and right click on it. Now, select go to the location of the file. Then right-click on the file and select Create shortcut to create a shortcut on the desktop
