  • Satellite U500-17F: problems with the new HARD drive

    Hi everyone, I got some troubleshooting with my Satellite and a new drive, I bought recently, because that is already damaged because of too many bad sectors. One is a Western Digital Scorpio Black 320 Bg (WD3200BEKT model number). It should be a fast reader but is not with my Satellite.

    After having mounted the drive in the laptop, I ran a new installation (with full disk format} Windows 7 (64 bit) with all the necessary drivers (that I downloaded directly from the Page of Support Toshiba.)

    The problem is that the laptop needs a lot of time to start and also to disable, and whenever I try to run an application or start a program (for example Firefox, or just a few windows applications), the laptop freezes for about 30 to 60 seconds, the drive no longer works (you can hear leaders put in position 'parking' and the HDD LED control is constant) ", no lights flashing).

    It seems that the drive (during this 30-60 seconds) in something as a stand-by mode. I ran a few Western Digital diagnostic tools and the car looks all right to 100%. It works also without any problems in the other laptop (HP Pavilion DV6500). Could this be a problem with the controller (Intel ICH9M - E ATA AHCI controller) driver?

    Any suggestion?
    Thanx

    Hello

    You use the latest version of the BIOS?
    Please check if you need a BIOS update. Of course I read in a few discussions on the similar question of Win XP you use Win 7 but its value to check the update of the BIOS and U500 series.

    In addition, I recommend check you the power of Windows 7 options.
    Disable in the power profile that you use power saving HDD.

    Just a question:
    You use the option AHCI in the BIOS?
    As far as I know it of possible to use either a compatible SATA AHCI mode.
    AHCI must be used because this option would use full SATA performance.

    Hello, everyone.

    I have a laptop HP (pavilion dv7-1245dx) and the hard drive is dead. I had never gotten to burn my recovery disks, so I ordered new ones from HP. When I installed the new hard drive and popped in the disk to reinstall the operating system, it gave me the error message:

    "This PC is not supported by the system recovery discs. You can continue to recover this system with these discs. »

    EDIT: Trying to recover a Vista operating system

    For anyone who has the same problem, I found a solution. I cloned the original hard drive using the Clonezilla fallback option. After using Clonezilla to image on the new hard disk, the partition which held that most of the data of the laptop is not mountable, however the partition containing the restore partition was a perfect copy. I turned on the computer, hit escape to access the menu (for a list of options such as boot order, etc, which included an option for recovery), and then choose recovery option. While the recovery discs, I received from HP refused to work with the new hard drive, the Vista restored cloned recovery partition without flaw.

    Hello

    If you do not get the chance to use another PC, I would definitely create the CD and the DVD bootable as it would give a clear indication if there is a hardware problem with the optical drive.

    In the meantime, try following the procedure in the title of the subheading "Let me fix it myself" on the link below to remove upper and lower filters (if these registry keys exist) and see if that helps the issue.

  • my computer asks me to fix a problem with the graphics driver intel but windows tells me solution can not be downloaded

    computer crashed and rebooted itself. I first started in safe mode, and the computer did not find any problems but had sent a report anyway.

    To restart normally, the center of the action (or as I would say, Center!; - p), has been asking me to scan with windows defender and a problem with the graphic driver intel. Scanned well, but to solve the problem, said action solution Center could not be downloaded. I am most definitely connected to the internet and have tried to solve this question many times during approximately the last 18hours?
    Help would be much appreciated?

    Good suggestion but I tried this, had to go the manufacturer of the laptop, but still no luck. Think he was playing tricks on me in any case, as seemed to be resolved with a full audit of the system and diagnosis.

    Thanks for the effort though...
  • Problems with WiFi. Problems with the Wifi adapter driver.

    Hello

    I have a Dell Inspiron 3520 with original 8 Windows installed on it. Wireless settings worked fine until yesterday but anyway its no longer works. I don't see any WiFi option and no wireless networks are also getting detected. Although his active on the network and sharing Center.

    The details of the pilot are:

    Dell 1703 802.11b/g/n (2,4 GHz) Wireless

    The internet LAN connections are working properly. When I received a diagnosis of the wireless connection, he said that there could be a problem with the driver for the WiFi card. I also tried the system restore, but the problem persists.

    How can I sort this problem?

    Most often when a device does not work, it is because the driver is damaged. Re-install a new copy should help

  • Satellite C660-28 d - problem "Load driver" with the new HARD drive

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C660-28 t.

    The hard drive has failed. I called Toshiba Support who send me a replacement.

    However in the meantime I was going to put in my spare hard drive and do a fresh install of another operating system that I have a spare for (Win 7) key.

    However, I can't past the screen "Loading Drivers" as the laptop came with driver disks.
    I can't find the drivers on the Toshiba site (I tried some drivers intel which I thought were good, but he says they were not signed and all comes down to the loading screen drivers).

    I have made the recovery discs, but obviously can not use them on the new hard drive as it doesn't have the recovery partition.

    Any ideas on where I can get the proper drivers from?

    Thank you

    > I made the recovery discs, but obviously can not use them on the new hard drive as it doesn't have the recovery partition.

    If you have a recovery disk using Toshiba preinstalled recovery media creator tool, you just have to boot from that disk to begin the installation.

  • How to set up the new HP laptop with the bad hard drive notebook

    Children a new Hp laptop in June.  The hard drive has been getting gradually stronger and is obviously about to go, with a blue error screen forcing a roll back of the computer.  I did a full backup on an external hard drive and I'm back for a replacement.  Should I make a recovery disk and reinstall from the disc when I get the new laptop, or should I just plug the external hard drive and transfer files via?  A guy at work said using the recovery disk is the way to go, because it would be to reinstall Norton and other programs, we have installed., but I thought that backup external hard drive was supposed to be the way to do this

    Because you have found a replacement of mobile complete, it will be installed on the 'old' came with.

    If you have installed a new programs, games etc_then Yes restore the Image would be the best way to get back it quickly. This would assume that the replacement is the same model or very similar from a Image Restore the drivers also which should match the material of the machine.
