  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

• 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.

• Lightroom CC - edition in the external editor with images located on the external hard drive problems

  I have recently moved most of my image containing folders on external hard drive. In general, everything works smoothly in Lightroom (running latest CC). However, if I try to use an external editor of in Lightroom, I managed opening image in Photoshop CC if it is chosen. However, if I try to edit in a NIK Collection programs (i.e. Viveza 2) or affinity Photo I get error messages. The copy of Tiff is generated within lightroom, but at the spearhead of the external editor the following messages are met...

  • Viveza 2 - 'News file. Plist could not be opened"
  • Photo of affinity - "'could not open the file - / Volumes/4Tb iMac/2015-10-20-202036/Macintosh of the castle of my book 2 Backup/Backups.backupdb/Neil HD/Applications/Adobe Illustrator CS5/Plug-ins.localized/Photoshop Filters.localized/Unsharp Mask.aip/Contents/Resources/he.lproj/InfoPlist.strings the file type is not supported.". " My external backup drive is " " " 4 TB my book 2 backup" but my images are on an external drive called "4 TB My Book 1" ".

  However, if I move the folders containing images of problem on my desktop (iMAC 27 2015) in Lightroom external editor command change... works very well. The images open with Nik Collection and Photo of affinity and save in Lightroom when save. Everyone knows about this problem? And if you have, is there a resolution?

  
  

  Any help/advice greatly appreciated.

  Looks like I solved my problem with Lightroom. I disassembled my external backup drive, but upheld the disk external drive containing the photos up and then restarted my mac. After the reboot, I open Lightroom and chose the image on an external drive for mounting in affinity Photo and Collection of Nik. Both image successfully opened in editors. I reassembled the backup drive and rebooted time machine and repeated the same opening picture in external editors. Once again, works great. Have no idea where the original problem. Looks like a bad path was stored in a config somewhere file.

• safe way to transfer music to iMac hard drive on a separate drive?

  Is there a safe way to move my music from hard drive of my iMac to a separate drive?

  Drag the files normally. If you move your iTunes to work, when finished, start iTunes with down option, and then choose this library.

  If you do this to free up space on the drive or to use music on multiple computers, keep a backup of it on a second disc.

• I want to know on my old iMac hard drives

  I want to put another hard drive in my mid 2007 24 "imac since the former one quit a few months ago. I want to know what I can use. I was checking ebay and found a lot but I'm confused. There is caviar blue and black caviar. There are different brands and different model numbers then. Those that came out was a black WD3200AAJS caviar made in 2008. Can I use another brand? Can I go with another? How to cross reference? I'm thinking than those of roughly the same age of the imac because, after all, it is an old computer and I don't want to spend a lot of money. But I want to remedy for children to use to make videos and photography. It will not be a game machine because they use my other reason. Sorry for the flood of questions!

  Any 3.5 "SATA HDD will work. Is the drive that you took a year newer than the iMac is obviously already been changed before. Black WD drives are good 7200 TPM, blue seem a bit slow, green disks are low consumption and Red are server or business applications.

• Internal hard drive problem

  I just hard drive of my laptop, replaced by a service center because it is still under warranty. They replaced my old hard drive with a HTS541040G9SA00 that when I search on the internet I discovered that is made by HITACHI, im wondering if it is safe to use this drive or is it compatible with my computer toshiba laptop and that i will not be a problem to use it. Thank you!!!

  If a service is to swap your disk that worry Don t, they must use original parts. So if your hard drive is not available, they had to use a spare part which is compatible, too.

  I had the same situation with my machine. I got a samsung player, then, after a headcrash I brought to a service partner and they exchanged the drive and put a toshiba in there. I asked them the same question you have posted and they said the same thing what I you said. ;)

  So I just give you a little information. :)

• Satellite A100: UNMOUNTED_BOOT_VOLUME HARD drive problem

  My A100 (XP media edition) does not start at the top is normal, safe mode (all types), the last known config as the recovery disk does not work. Error message is unmounted_boot_volume.

  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 :))

  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.

• Portege 7220 - replacement hard drive problem

  I have a Portege 7220 CTe Windows 98se. The hard drive is deteriorating slowly (bad sectors), so I decided to replace it. The old drive is a Toshiba 6 GB. The news is an IBM/Hitachi Travelstar 10 GB - so-called and apparently unused but dated from 01 Sept.

  Summary: the drive has worked once in the Portege, but doesn't work anymore. It continues to operate through a USB interface to another system.

  I did the following. (I don't know that there are a lot of unimportant details, I just can't tell who might be relevant):

  -Checked the new drive with Hitachi Drive Fitness Test. Ran on the Portege, booting from CD in the docking station. The perfect extract player.
  -Make a backup image the old drive on another computer (XP desktop computer) using a USB box and the reflection of Macrium.
  -Restored the image to the new drive (using the same USB box).
  -In Ran XP Scandisk and defragmentation on the restored drive (no problem, does significant defrag)
  -Cleanly removed from the XP system USB and road of the housing
  -Put the new, restored in car in the Portege and turned on.

  The system could not start, (indirectly) saying that HIMEM. SYS was missing. I plugged the drive into the XP system. Indeed \WINDOWS\HIMEM. SYS was missing, along with the rest of the content of \WINDOWS. The rest of the matching content to the backup. ???????

  I copied \WINDOWS to the backup image to the new drive. Neatly removed from the XP system and put in the Portege.

  Starting from Win98 system. I tried to start a random application and become system that is not responding.

  From this point, I may have not all the actions in the order, but I doubt that counts. I tried the following:

  -Hitachi Drive Fitness Test running. He first found the drive but returned an error 'drive not ready '. After repeated attempts to re-seat assigned, check on the XP system, etc it is unable to find the drive to all the
  -Go into the BIOS at startup. Sometimes found the drive, sometimes not.
  -Office XP still recognizes the player very well via the USB interface. ScanDisk is happy with it, including the surface scan. Hitachi utility only works with ATA or SCSI disks, and I do not have an ATA desktop-laptop adapter.
  -Made a new restoration of the saved image. It worked well, but the Portege wouldn't even find the drive.
  -Tried the old drive and a travelstar 6 GB to another system in the Portege. Both work very well.
  -Tried the new disk in a Portege 7020. Do not just like in the 7220.

  I thought maybe it was a power issue. But the two Travelstars (one that works and a new one that doesn't) are valued at 500 my. The old disk from Toshiba which also always works is estimated at 700mA.

  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Apparently, there's something wrong with your 10 GB travelstar, maybe the MBR or the boot sector

  the fact that you can read with a USB connector doesn't mean that the HD is correct, since you do not need the boot sector of this way

  I would advice to wipe it completely (with cleandisk or boot-TI-NG), make a new partition with fdisk and reformat the HD in fat32 format

  That to do a fresh install with W98, or better: W2000, which spans a 7220 easily and is much better

  It is best to copy the directory to install W2000, integer i386 installation CD - on the 10 GB HD (which can be done on another PC with a USB connection) and begin the installation of BACK with Windows NT. EXE

• Satellite P200 mainboard and HARD drive problem

  Hiya,

  I had my Satallite Pro for only 3 years.
  During the past year I had problems with the HARD drive and at one point broke and I had it replaced, it worked for about 2 months and who broke. I got another HARD drive, and now it has broken.

  I took it to a repair shop independent who say it could be a problem with the motherboard or the Starter connections, or perhaps love to him. ???

  I rang toshiba and I didn't have only a years warranty, so my main questions are:

  (1) how much approximately will it take to get fixed

  (2) is it useful

  (3) is it successful.

  I'm not sure to get if fixed at 100% I know I can't afford a new to the same specification as that time.

  Any help or advice will be approciated.

  Hi mate

  To be honest, a motherboard is a laptop computer cheap party.
  If it of really a motherboard problem and if you have to replace the motherboard to solve this problem, then you must know that this could really be a costly affair

  I'm not quite sure how a new motherboard might be, but I think that you will have spent about 300-350 Euros
  That s a lot of money so it s your own decision of what's best for you. buy a new laptop or pay for a fix.

  If I was you I'll sell this laptop and would like to buy a new unit.
