HP Recovery, causing hard drive problem

OK... Earlier I messed up my hard drive on my laptop. So I got the HP recovery discs, used... I thought that it fixed the problem... but now I look in the properties of my C: / drive & it says that my hard drive is only 25GB. Which is weird, because he used to say that he was of 250 GB. So now, he continues to tell me that I'm running out of space on my drive... Anyone has an idea as to why it is now only show my 25 GB hard drive instead of the real 250 GB is it? Can I completely format my hard drive and then use the recovery discs to fix? IM thinking that maybe that could be the problem... I don't know how to format, either... I have a HP Pavilion with Vista dv6653cl, any help is appreciated... because I was so excited I thought I fixed the drive then see this problem... knew it was too good to be true...

Can I get a new hard drive, & use the recovery on a new hard drive disk? Or that won't work?

I can't do a lot with just 25 GB of space. So, if I can't get the hard drive to its original 250 GB, then other what choice have I?

Finally, I have fixed everything. Thank you very much for your help!

    Hello

    It sounds a bit like a HARD drive problem.
    I recommend checking out the HARD drive using a free tool called Drive Fitness Test
    This free tool allows you to get more details on the State of the HARD drive and maybe some error would be detected which would mean that HARD drive failures and disk HARD must be replaced.

  • Alternative to the reset by Satellite A660 for potential HARD drive problem

    In the last week or two, I got a few blue screens, saying he was driving demand, and that windows must be shut down to avoid damage my computer.

    I have just restart and continue working.
    The last time it happened, I had repeatedly "initialization failed" and it says hdd, SDS, fdd. If I pressed the power button until I didn't see no signs of activity, then started. Things went well. I called Toshiba support and they recommended that I go home and save my files before continuing. It took hours selectively to clean, sort the previous backups, and a small footprint of the backup system.

    When I called Toshiba once again, they recommended a "takeover", which is restoring the factory settings. It puts me in the stone age. I have to go through a never-ending process of the upgrade to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, install and reconfigure all the applications and environments/configurations, etc. It will essentially take on holiday, if not more. I'll also have to get another computer (maybe a netbook) to stay in touch while I restart my laptop. It's barely more than a year.

    Is there a diagnosis I can do to determine the probability that there is a hard drive problem? Support for Toshiba said that is the surest way, because it provides a diagnostic F10 for the hard disk code, and it also pushes the bad sectors at the end of the disc (logically, I suppose, since you can't physically move a fault).

    > About Hitachi DFT, is it important that my HARD drive is Toshiba mk6465gsx? This is what is displayed "Hard drives" in the Device Manager.

    It s no matter what HARD drive manufacturer, it is the Drive Fitness Test is able to scan all hard drives to find errors.

    > Also, http://www.hitachigst.com/support/downloads/#DFTshows links to create boot disks, but I was wondering if I could create a bootable instead.

    Not sure if this is possible if there is that one option to create a startup disk, and then a flash stick does not work. But of course you can try this out.

    > This laptop does not come with a floppy drive, and I still create coasters trying to burn discs.
    You don't need the floppy drive, the tool must create a disk bootable (CD)

    > I guess that the same question can be asked on Memtest86. Another issue is the relevance of Memtest86 for my system. My c drive has a "Program Files" folder, but also a "Program Files (x 86)" folder for 32-bit applications. Memtest86 is for the x 86 architecture. I don't know if my 64-bit Windows 7 involves a non - x 86 architecture.

    I guess that Memtest86 should also work on Win 7 64 bit systems. But also the MemTest 4.20 is 64-bit capable

  • Equium A200-1V0 - recovery on the new HARD drive problem

    Hello

    Hoping someone can help, I just mounted a new Toshiba 1 TB hard drive for my Equium A200-1V0, used the Vista came with the computer recovery disk, everything seems to be installed ok, but when you try to start, I get a message saying that Windows Vista is unable to run on this hardware. Any suggestion is appreciated.

    Thank you

    There must be a compatibility problem. Usually the hard drives up to 500 GB are not problematic for the old machines.
    If possible, try to install the version of the OS. When you can get Win7 32 bit would be great. Win7 32-bit is supported for your machine and in my view, it will work perfectly.

    Is there a solution?
    is that what the recoverable data?
    If the new HARD drive is purchased the recovery disk allows you to reinstall the OS?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Robbo88

    As far as I know this error message appears if the HARD drive boot sector is damaged.
    Usually, the new installation of the operating system should help to get rid of this problem.

    If you cannot boot from the recovery CD, I would recommend the original Microsoft windows XP CD boot and start the repair console. Here, you can use the fixmbr command to repair the boot sector.

    Of course, this problem can be caused by a HARD disk failure.
    In this case, the HARD drive must be replaced.

  • Satellite A210 - 17l BIos update to take care of advanced format HARD drive problem

    Hi all

    Really hoping someone can help me with this.

    My old HDD not was not so I cloned the entire disc before it failed. -Just in time, too.

    I ordered a new drive - it's a WD scorpio black - Advanced format.

    Unfortunately I can't get my picture on this new album.

    Also, I am unable to do a reinstall with the original restore also cd because it doesn't have service pack 1 and that means that it can't recognize the HD.

    In any case id prefer to be able to restore my image and not make a re-install when even if possible.

    So my question is this:

    Y at - it an update of the bios I can ask my another pc version 2.00 is available which will include options to change the options of ide drive - ahci?

    It's the only solution I can think of-bearing in mind I do not have an operating system installed, so the alignment tools are not an option as another fix. -Fast technology of storage Intel drivers do not work, because I have an AMD athlon processor.

    So is there any BIOS I can Flash my computer with to activate the options mentioned?

    I have a method to Flash the bios with a BONE, so this isn't a problem.

    Also other suggestions for workaround on this more than welcome.

    Thanks :))

    The_red_pill.

    Hello

    Update BIOS don t help you. To my knowledge, it does not add additional options such as a switch between AHCI and compatible mode.
    In addition, you can use ANY BIOS. You must use the BIOS that came out for the model of laptop. But as I said, this isn't a solution.

    In addition, the image of Toshiba already contains all the drivers in order to install the system. It s any SP1 isn t the image part.

    I guess you're talking about Vista OS, given that the laptop came with pre-installed Vista OS. http://www.Toshiba.co.UK/discontinued-products/Equium-A210-17I/

    I recommend you format the HARD drive first.
    Use a tool called Gparted. You can create a bootable USB key containing this tool.
    This allows to start Notepad in order to format the HARD drive.

  • Re: Satellite Pro P100 of hard drive problem.

    Hello

    Uh, to sum up my problem, a vital file... or two, has been deleted by a rather malicious Trojan horse, I had a week or two it y a. I had cleaned it the command registry and such and everything was fine. Until I tried a disc to my hard drive... The unit seems to recognize that there is a disc in there and I checked because nothing "seems to" be physically wrong with it. He won't read it. So my question, is there a link to download or something or another or not, that could lead me to a place where I could safely re - download the drive of files for the Pro P100.

    And yah... I have no experience of the computer, or similar, so I just ask a pretty silly question. xD

    Hello

    If the problem is Windows related, you should be able start from the CD or DVD without any problem. So I recommend this audit with the recovery disk or other bootable disk.

    If you can't start t with him, the drive is may be defective or the lens needs to be cleaned with a Microfiber cloth.

    Good luck!

  • Early 2009 iMac running hot. Hard drive problem?

    Hello world

    I have an early 2009 24 "iMac. (iMac9, 1, 2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). I am currently using OS X 10.11.4.

    This problem started, summer 2014. My iMac has been in storage a year since March 2015. Here's the problem, when it started it was summer and very hot. I didn't have air conditioning. I got this iMac from April 2011. Bought from Mac of all trades. Obviously, they heat up on top, or at least this one does. The hard drive is a Western Digital WDC WD1001FALS-40K1B0, 1 TB drive.

    At the point where I was running DiskWarrior, who reported that my hard drive was running too hot. The reader otherwise verified fine and so I downloaded Fans of Mac control, looked up what the operating temperature should be for this hard drive and set it to increase the fan speed, if necessary. Now 5182 rpm, it turns the hard drive cooling fan, and he reports 127,4 ° F. The room temperature is 82.4 °.

    Now, let's move forward to this last week. I've had my Mac for storage, he had been in the garage of a friend of year-round, is his box. From the beginning it upward, it froze soon after establishing the office. I started on the recovery partition, and DiskUtility found that it could not solve problems. So I started from the eDrive TechTool Pro partition and run DiskWarrior. That was fine until the computer froze again. To reboot the partition e could not climb. The recovery partition would enter to Midway through the boot process and then hang. It's the same problem I was trying to start normally.

    So after a long day of trying everything (I don't have a disc of starting of any kind, that I still have stuff in storage), the Mac finally started in the recovery partition. I ended up having to reformat the hard drive, make a new installation of 10.11 and restoration of my Time Machine backup.

    After another day of tweaking, everything worked fine. Except the drive is always hot.

    Today, it's back to freezing on me. I started the eDrive and TechTool Pro check sensors and generate a SMART report. The SMART report verified the reader, but watch it turns slightly on the warm side. And that was with the fans to run fast.

    Then, after all that, I'll try to get an opinion on the health of the hard drive. If I put the fans for normal speed, now it is 2638 rpm and increase, and the reader is 138.2 ° F. This seems too hot for me. You can't touch the top of the computer for a long time. It is too hot.

    Run the Apple Hardware Test disk two of your original grey install set.

    I understand that when you ran the diagnostics of material you have received error codes.  When I checked the error codes provided, they say that the disc is optimized and others the HARD drive failed the rapid tests.

    Omitting the quick test is a good indication that your hard drive is faulty and will need to be replaced.

  • Portege M700 - protection of HARD drive problem

    Hello world

    I searched the net for a full day now try to find answers to this.
    Note, I am an accountant and not a computer geek.

    I have a laptop Portege M700. I am updating from Vista to Win7.

    Here's the problem:
    -Initially tried to uninstall Toshiba HDD Protection via Control Panel and got the message error "internal error 2753 setupftc.exe.
    -Then searched the Internet and realized that I had to stop the service first. Note that I does NOT initially stop the service in the Service Manager.
    -Now went in the Service Manager to seek Protection of HARD drive and it is not at all.
    -Returned east to configuration-Toshiba HDD Protection Panel is listed as a program. It will not always uninstall it... the activiates Assistant uninstaller, and after a few seconds, he simply says the same error message is ' «internal error 2753 setupftc.exe»»

    -a search on the internet about this error does no useful result. They underline that the registry cleaner programs. I have NOT installed the registry cleaners.

    - then I went to the registry and created a backup of the registry.
    Then tried all the items containing 'HDD Protection' and started deleting them hoping that it would work.
    Then I tried to uninstall.
    The computer popped up a message stating that a restart is required.
    Tried to restart and got a blue screen.
    Then restared in safemode, reloaded the old registry file and VOILA the computer is back to normal again.

    BUT...
    I can not even uninstall HDD Protection. Get the same bloody error.

    -then downloaded the site Web of TOSHIBA HDD Protection file.
    Try to install this file... I get the same error, i.e. "internal error 2753 setuptfc.exe.

    Ok.. now, I'm ready to give up.

    Really, I didn't wipe my comptuer clean to do a fresh install, because it's such a big hassle. And I'm an accountant, not a computer expert so I don't know what to do for a new installation.
    For the time I've wasted on this already, I probably just to find instructions on the net and then made a complete new installation.

    All the advice to fix it, pleeeeeeeeeeeease! : ??

    Thank you.

    So clean Toshiba HDD protection tool didn't help installation then some registry entries must be screwed to the top.
    Believe me, best you can do is to install the OS to aid installation of HARD - disc of recovery http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm recovery mode or use if you have a.
    After a clean install of Vista, everything will work correctly, and then you can start with the Win7 upgrade procedure.
