• HARD drive click after update Bios on Satellite A100

  Hello.
  I just did a bios update for my Satellite A100 PSAA9, and after that I started to hear a few clicks on the hard drive, from time to time. They appear very often, but I would like to know why they started!

  The bios update was published in 26/11/2007.
  Does anyone have the same problem?

  Thank you.

  I put t think it has something to do with the BIOS update.
  I put t don't know how old you HDD is but maybe that click concern only the HARD drive hardware problem

  There are several times in my HARD disk created similar clique and sounds but it s runs great
  I didn't noticed any hardware problem however, we cannot exclude a hardware problem and therefore, you should back up important data to prevent the files from damage.

  Best regards

• Satellite A305-S6825 - HARD drive light flashing sometimes

  I have the Toshiba Satellite A305-S6825, I bought in April. 250 GB and 3 GB of Ram.

  I notiice sometimes, when I'm not working on what the hard drive light flashes for a while. Is this normal?

  I have not checked all programs (I think) to a setting with automatic and/or scanning, etc.

  Are there any programs that are running in Vista Premium without me using the working on the laptop?

  I hope that the laptop is not broken.

  The laptop is certainly not broken. The same thing happens with my two laptops from Toshiba.
  In the background, several processes are active and it is possible that antivirus checks or scans the HARD drive.
  Maybe some updates are installed at the moment. It can be anything.

  In any case, don't worry about it. Everything is OK.

• Hard drive light flashing.

  I know this has been asked before, but I do not see a satisfactory answer.

  I just installed Win 7 HP 64 bit on a new desktop. Once the system has been installed, the HARD drive light flashes at a constant speed of approximately 1 second.

  I checked the Task Manager and note that one solution wbengine.exe, offered in the past, does NOT work.

  However, I notice that the blink rate is about the same performance update in the Task Manager.

  Someone at - it a solution?

  After an initial Setup, things like the search indexing and early reading lights until the system installs.

• No HARD drive light on Qosmio X 870

  Hi all

  I m coming on this forum to post something that has my curiosity because I bought my Qosmio X 870, 3 years ago...
  This series has no HARD drive light and I wonder why...
  I mean, it looks like "slikier" without light... But this HDD light is very useful in my opinion, it gives me a reading how my HARD drive works when my computer oar, allowing me to solve some problems and simply check the health of my laptop computer in general. I have to put my ear on the side of the HARD drive and listen to it if it is working or not, boring.

  Why is it like that? Is this just for the style?
  Thank you.

  We can discuss here everything, but no one here can tell you why this model Qosmio no HDD LED. Always new and new design I think. My S50 - B Satellite has not too much.

  To be honest, it is very useful to have, but I don't miss it at all.

  I have an IMac with time machine and time capsule. If I buy a large external hard drive can back up all my Lightroom Info but also everything else to go to time machine, & that it saves on hard drive new, after he made a backup to time capsule?  This way, I would have two backups.

  Hi marinersr,

  I'm not sure the backup machine capsule/time, but according to me, that it backs up all data on your hard drive.

  Yes, you can back up the Lightroom catalog on the hard disk external.

  You can set the time of the backup under the catalog settings > backup > he would invite to the backup, when you exit Lightroom > click on select next to the location and specify the location as your new hard drive.

  If you want images of both original backup, you can configure to create a second copy of the images on your external drive during import.

  Kind regards

• The hard drive light

  Hi all.

  I just bought the Acer 7600U-UR24 all-in-one. I've updated Windows 8, updated to 8.1 and updated again. All Windows updates are made. I only installed a few programs now, including Office 2003 and iTunes.

  The problem I have, is what I suppose is the HARD drive, a red light about 3 inches to the right of the camera, blinks constantly, even after shutting down the computer, do not put it to sleep. The flickering is constant, regular and fast not irregular when you work and then do nothing. I tried to restart without result. Today, off, I went and took a shower and returned about 35 minutes later and it was still flashing. I tried to unplug the power supply from the wall and the computer for a few minutes, but he begins to blink once I have it plug it all back in.

  There is also a series of 8 white flashing dashes "pointing" to the power button. Not really a button but a stain on the upper right corner of the screen that you tap to activate it. They are blinking successively from left to right, and then finally by the flashing symbol of power. This continues when the computer is turned off and stops when it starts. Is this normal? It flashes all night.

  I tried the chat with a tech from Acer. She said it could be a static buildup in the motherboard. Asked me to unplug everything, hold the power button for 15 seconds, which you can't do because there is no power button, and then put it all together and turn it on.

  Am I missing something? I'm not new to computers.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Stuart

  I studied the blinking light that you are curious about. This light is a proximity sensor which will help you easily find the power button. If you place your hand in front of the flashing light, it should be flashing lights to indicate where is the power button.

• Satellite L650 - 15G - HARD drive starts after 10 to 15 seconds

  Hi my dear,
  Please can someone help,

  I have my Satellite L650 - 15G, I bought 10/01/2010. I have a problem that occurs only with the battery, when I press the power button, I hear the fan starting, lamp wireless, then the lamp light power but not the lamp of HDD, 2 to 3 seconds the laptop closed. If I pressed the power button / stop again after that or I pressed again while the light from the lamp of the hard drive and it will start normally. This never happen when I connect the charger with the battery or when I use it with the adapter only.

  I changed the battery of the Toshiba, but no way. I changed the power management, made adjustments in power management bios (version 1.8 after I updated), disable, enable certain features in Device Manager but no way.

  The more strange that many times it starts normal and other times it does so. Also, this may manifest itself sometimes in long boot times, which means that I sometimes hear fan, see wirless, power lights up and after 10-15 seconds, the hard drive turns on and starts.
  Please help me

  I went to the warranty Center Toshiba in Cairo and they checed on Tester then nothing said abnorml with processor, hard, Rams

  Hello

  And that said the guys from the Toshiba warranty Center that could be? Is it a hardware problem or not?

  To be honest it is really hard to say something about it, but at the moment for me, it looks like a HARD drive or motherboard problem.

  Did you also load default settings in the BIOS after update?

• Pavilion g6-2215sia: CARD without WIRE NOT DETECTED AFTER UPDATE BIOS

  Recently I have updated my BIOS on my laptop HP Pavilion g6-2215sia think he'll adjust the hardware acceleration feature missing in my system (there is no option in my BIOS to enable virtualization technology). My BIOS version was F.12 and I've updated to F.24, but after update BIOS all my wireless functionality no longer works (including my wifi and bluetooth), and still there is no option to enable virtualization technology in my BIOS settings. On my Windows 8.1 x 64 Pro wifi and bluetooth options are grayed out so I can't turn them on or off. I tried to reinstall my bluetooth driver, but the software says that it doesn't detect any bluetooth hardware. Even when I restart and boot in all my Linux distributions installed on my system (Ubuntu, Quina and Kali Linux) and my x 86 Android, they still do not detect my wireless capability (says Ubuntu, "wifi is disabled by hardware switch").

  To confirm that this was not a software problem, I has conducted an audit of start-up and tested for my wireless module and got this result, "without WIRE MODULE CHECK: NOT INSTALLED". The only way I can get my Windows operating system to recognize my wireless (wifi and bluetooth) is now by doing a hard reset, when I unplug my laptop from the power supply, remove the battery and hold the power button for about 30 seconds. When I turn on my system, then I can turn my wifi/bluetooth on my Windows. But if I restart my system the problem comes back and I can't turn on my wireless. So basically, I have to avoid questioning my system off and only Hibernate, so that whenever I turn on my laptop I can use the wireless. If I restart my system so I have to repeat the hard reset in order to use my wifi/bluetooth, which can be very annoying.

  The problem is that I often use my other Linux disributions and I have to restart before starting in them so that my readers will be mounted read/write, and when I do my Linux can not detect my wireless and it's a serious pain for me because I need to use my wireless often for internet connection.

  Please I really need help on how to fix this and get my wireless working normally without having to do a hard reset every time. I tried to restore my BIOS F.12 unfounded but I don't have the image file (I extensively searched the Internet to find, but does not). I've even updated again to F.26 but I still have the same problem (my current version of BIOS is F.26).

  If you see no updates the BIOS in your list of drivers - where do you have the updates to the BIOS, you used?

  Try here - if you do not see the list of the BIOS, use the "Edit" button to change Windows 8.1 to Windows 8:

• C:\ drive locked after update of Windows 8

  Earlier this morning I went to turn on my computer (Custom built Asus with Windows 8. Pro 64 - bit), I was greeted with the BSOD saying "a problem occurred" without any technical information. After a while he started finally to the "Boot Menu" he wouldn't let me refresh or reset the PC saying that the 'hard drive has been locked', most of the other startup options will not work. So I took out the hard drive and attached to my laptop (I have a SATA USB cable). He said I need to format the hard drive before accessing the drive, also "disk management", says the Partition type was 'RAW '. I didn't lose my data, so after a little more research, I put in a disc of Windows 7 and selected "Repair PC" and let it solve the problem. He said something like "repair hard disk. I let it run for a few hours, when it was done I took the drive and restarted my computer. It started normally with the windows logo 8 but when that ends, he goes to a black screen. I went to the "Boot Menu" but now he allowed me to update my computer. So, I updated my computer. This is where my current problem started. Once the update the computer restarted, he gave me a choice of two operating systems to open two of them saying "disk 1 of Windows 8. I chose the other and he went to the login to my profile screen. I logged in and it started the first time boot screen. After he 'Got things ready' it opens the start menu, that had "Desktop" "Windows Store" "Internet Explorer" and "Skype" (Skype was no logo just the name and a small cross in the corner). I went to the office (where I got what looked like safe mode), which has a black background with the model number of widows 8 in the corner and the only shortcuts to my steam game that were on my other hard drive (which was already disconnected) and a shortcut called 'Deleted Applications' Internet from there , I went to my computer and tried to access the C:\ drive when I try to open it says something like "can't access C:\. "I took the car back out and plugged into my laptop where I get the same message. That's where my expertise ends. A great help.

  Thanks for the help-

• Satellite L670 - hard drive dead after only 8 months

  Hello

  This morning I return my laptop due to defective hard drive problem. After 8 months, he is already dead.

  The positives are: I'm still under warranty and the second the software toshiba hilighted me from time to time, allowing me to back up my data before the crash. TKS Toshiba for this very useful tool.

  The question is: how a hard drive die that fast after fews month only?

  Bad luck or bad use? I wonder.

  I wish to have feedback from those L670 who owns the same model (windows 7), to understand if this problem is common or if I was unfortunately concerned.

  Also, if there are possible solutions to avoid the stress of the HD for daily use? As for example, reduce writing on this subject (save blu - ray using AnyDvD HD on hd, then cut & paste for external hard drive), or connect too often external hard drive in order to avoid the extra electricity if necessary?

  In the future, I have to perform chkdsk more often? Defrag? If Yes, how often?

  This is my 3rd phone dying, Sony VAIO = mothercard dead after 1.2 years, Fujitsu Amilo xi = exploded after 3 years and now Toshiba HD after 8 months.

  900EUR up to 1600EUR, I do not see significant resistance of one of these models, Sony was the badest ever in terms of longevity of the video card and compatibility (unplayable games after 2 months, no update of the driver), keyboard 'paint' was a mess with deterioration after fews month compared to Fujitsu and Toshiba (no points). Toshiba L670 most recent, was the best in terms of game compatibility.

  What should do? Stop buying the laptop or use only fews hours a day with a PC on top?
  For time beeing I can't afford to have a PC + a computer laptop that I'm unemployed, surviving with 10EUR per day.
  time to find a new job.

  Despite this, I managed to buy the new book of the cooler Zelman for my Toshiba 40/50EUR all about, but it did not help apparently.

  TKS for your comments about life duration L670 and particularly problem HD + best use to protect it.

  Guillaume

  In my opinion the answer is clear: no chance.

  In any case, don t think too much on the use of the laptop. Cell phone is designed to operate for a long period, then there is no reason to reduce the time to use on your Toshi.
  I use my laptop to work on a daily basis and it works at least 10 hours a day, sometimes one night too many.
  Just be careful that your laptop is placed on the desktop, the cooling fans must not be blocked by what it is.
  All that s.

• hard drive corrupted after the failure of the connection?

  I have the problem that the usb device is not recognized, sometimes my devices are recognized s, sometimes not, but don't I have, I have connected my external hardrive, it was not recognized, I turned it off and on again, I thought that if I restart my pc it could solve the problem, I've done, but because windows does not start if I have the hard drive connected at first I turned it off again. When I plugged it again after the reboot, it went well.

  but then I got an alert Bublé saying something like windows has delayed the process of drafting or smth on the hard drive and data are lost.

  I opened the folder on the hard drive and tried to play sth, it was corrupted txt files went EVERYTHING was corrupt or gone!

  Why THE FREAKING windows access _ and write or erase or change my bloody files if I don't even have to open the folder bloocy? It was not yet known for the love of christ. Why in gods name has destroyed windows all my 346 GB of files? This id do not have a copy.

  that the _ happens there? Windows, wrote that I'm not saying that he would do something.

  any help would be apreciatedm that I just want to know why windows destroyed all my stuff to avoid it in the future.

  p.s iam sorry for the language but it is so frustrating, I really start to hate windows, I think iam going to switch to linux.

  
  

  Edit: the data is not corrupted, thank God, I rebooted and it worked but after a certain time windows new belives it is corrupt, no idea why that is?

  and another thing, the problem with this usb devices are not recognized, what causes this error?

  I have windows xp sp3

  I think you may have a hardware problem. You can try to update the drivers of the computer (including the chipset or motherboard) and see if the problem clears. If this isn't the case, you may need to update the bios of the computer. If all fails, you will need to replace the motherboard on this PC. Since he is a big part, I suggest you buy a new computer, or get it fixed if it is still under warranty.

  Best,

• Hard drive crashed after upgrade to Windows 10 Windows 7

  * Original title: HARD drive Crash / Win7 for 10 Upgrade... bad timing!

  I have a PC running OEM Win7 x 64... just did the free update to Win10 a few days ago. HARD drive just crashed hard. I did an ISO when I upgraded to Win10. I'm trying now reinstall on another HARD drive... and no matter if I use Win7 OEM drive or ISO Win10 disc, it tells me that the activation code is invalid. I was under the impression that, as long as the mobo (and everything else except the HARD disk) is the same, Windows will allow you to reinstall with the key?

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  After the upgrade to Windows 10, you cannot use your Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 product key.

• Internal hard drive missing after upgrade to Windows 7

  Western Digital internal hard (second drive) drive is not visible after I updated from XP to Windows 7.  The missing SATA drive is visible in the BIOS, but not when Start Menu Windows 7 finishes launching.  Westerm Digital "Data Lifeguard" also does not detect the SATA drive.

  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

  Shut down the computer and unplug the SATA cable on the second disc.

  Restart Windows and go to your computer manufacturer's support web site and search for Windows 7 drivers for your specific model number.

  If you have Windows 7 drivers then download to a folder on your hard drive and install all of them,from the card mother/chipset drivers, SATA, LAN, Audio, etc, and so on. Then shut down the computer.

  Now reconnect the cable SATA and Windows startup, it should normally detect a drive is connected and indicate via a popup.

  Then open "Disk Management" and see if the drive is listed.
