• Re: Satellite Pro L - Eventviewer displays HARD disk controller error

  I've had problems for at least two months, with slowing down, freezing same blueys etc. and eventviewer tells me that I have a HARD disk controller error. Now when I check the device it tells me - as do the dealers - work correctly, but after a chkdsk problem erases only coming later. My Toshiba characteristic of diagnosis does not work so I can't check without the use of a third-party application which I am very reluctant to do.

  I am now lost for what to do given my position of dealers who fell to something I've done / downloaded etc. All the world has any ideas on how I can get my diag back function or other than eventviewer / chkdsk to identify what's wrong?

  The machine is only 10 months with 500HDD core i5, 4 GB of RAM under Windows 7 Professional and Kasersky Pure as my ISS. I use it for general use at home and the little that is worrrying me is that even though my previous Toshiba had a HARD drive crash and had to be replaced - I might have to do a factory default or worse go format and just load a new OS on or get the drive HARD replaced at my expense ($450 last time). The drive is a Toshiba MK5055GSX and looking around locally can not see where we could be contained--if I have to.

  It has become a nightmare, and even if I took an additional guarantee that feeling of time will run out before that I get something on this subject.
  Any help would be so appreciated.

  Hi johndragon46,

  I put t know what laptop you have exactly, but the fact is if the Eventviewer indicates an error of HARD disk controller it can be both: HARD drive itself or HDD motherboard controller.

  You wrote that your laptop is only 10 months old then why n t contact you authorized service provider? Your laptop should still be under warranty and that means an ASP can fix your computer laptop free time guaranteed.

  By the way: list of authorized service providers, you can find on the official website of Toshiba

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite M40 does not start from hard disk - read error

  "I push the button - briefly see the In Touch with tomorrow TOSHIBA screen - then ' + a disk read error occurred press Ctrl Alt Del to restart +".

  I control alt delete brings me briefly on the screen TOSHIBA where I can choose either F2 or F12.

  Do I need a startup disk and where can I get one in order to boot from the CD ROM?
  Do I try to get into the Satellite M40 product Recovery DVD-ROM - this concern for me as the hard drive will be reformatted and all data will be lost.

  I'm stuck please help!

  Hello!

  If you enter the product recovery disc, Windows will be relocated and will be erasing all data on the HARD drive.

  I think that your HARD drive is damaged. You can check this with the Drive Fitness Test. Here you can download:
  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
  Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. Then you can test the HARD drive.
  On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

  By the way: you can save the data on the HARD drive, when you put it in a box external HARD disk. Then you can save the data on another PC, if the HARD drive is ok and have no errors.

  Good bye

• Activation problem with hard disk containing Vista deleted from a computer dead and installed in a work computer.

  Problem: HP laptop with Vista installed suffers an untimely death. The installed hard drive with Vista is still OK. Hard disk has been removed from the HP laptop and then installed in an old Dell laptop. Windows Vista is complaining that Vista is not valid and must be activated. I get the activation from valid product key and the activation utility responds with an error 0xC004E003 code and will not activate. Microsoft does not support chat or e-mail for Vista and I can not even a phone number to talk to a human being. I think I should be able to remove Vista from a computer and run it on another without Microsoft having a problem with it. What should I do for this? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

  Property to true. An OEM Vista license does "die with the computer. Conditions of licence for the version of Windows 8 have changed compared to the terms for the most comparable Windows 7 or Vista or XP. In my opinion, the terms are now even more restrictive, more or less.

  Good luck exploring alternatives to the BONE. Some Linux distributions are well worth a visit. Ubuntu, Suse and Mint are quite simple to install on a wide range of material. I'm not familiar with the Apple/Mac or Android offers, but many speak well of them.

  Calculation of the happy.

• Pavvillion 23 all-in-One: hard disk failure error Code Test DST

  The system does not start, nothing on the screen after a few secods logo.

  The Diagnostics fail harddirve DST short test (after 15 seconds, it is perhaps reproducible, he never other tests not sure if more would fail)

  Error code is

  Q0EDAC-0007LQ-PXPAXG-60WL03

  How can I find more details about this error so I can understand the next step?  Currently all I know it is something with the harddirve, which of course is a worry, although he seems to be alive at least made me hope that I can recover the data).

  Dee

  You receive the error code 303 code, means that the hard drive is or it does not and must be replaced.

  To recover your data, put this drive in a caddy to drive down external hard usb, you should be able to copy the data to another computer.

• Hard disk partition error

  I have an external hard drive that is partitioned into 2 drives recently I plugged in and saw that one of my player does not show their name of file system is displayed but size and other information are not visible, it opens either, the other drive works fine, what do I do if I want the data intact?

  Hello

  Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
  This is not possible because there is an error in the HARD drive partition. I suggest to save the data of the second partition and do a clean format, with a single partition and try to use it. If the problem persists, contact the manufacturer, it may require repair.

• HARD disk error 03F1

  I have a laptop HP pavilion dv6 under Win 7 OS. Whenever I STOP and turn on again, it starts normally. But whenever I RESTART, I get an error of hard disk with error code (03F1). I ran the diagnostic disk HARD BIOS test several times, but there is no error. Restore windows with 'Out of Box' option of HP recovery disks, but no change. I have delete all partitions, used a software for HDD Low Format, but the conditions were the same. I made a disc of HP recovery factory reset, but nothing has changed.

  What is the best solution, replace my Toshiba 500 GB HARD disk with a new one or to ignore the error? It's about 1 month I have this problem. There is no suspended, frost-free and so on. It works well, but who knows, I am a software programmer and I can't trust my mobile. I'm worried about an accident that could be a disaster.

  Thank you

  Thank you very much!

  I replaced my HARD drive and now everything is OK.

• Disk system hard disk error

  Recently, I replaced my hardrive HP Desktop (which I bought recently at HP) and it is correctly placed and acknowledged as I could use the recovery CD to check the hard disk for errors. I had Windows Visa Home Premium on the old hard drive and try to replace it with Windows 7 (32 bit). Compatibility testing showed that I could upgrade the operating system. However, when I put in a new operating system I bought from a seller that sells at a discount (Windows 7 Professional 32 bit Branded); the computer will not recognize the DVD. I am booting from the optical drive, it appears as a blinking black screen monitor cursor. So my question is if there is a problem with the DVD as a bad DVD or is it a problem of compatibility. Should I just ordered HP recovery CD or isn't necessary when installing a new operating system?

  The second question is how to open files (on an external drive) that I had copied that are now appearing as backup.1 and backup.2.fbw? Can I just not open on another computer by looking at the files and see which ones I want to restore?

  Advice is appreciated.

  I'll try this and let you know how it goes. I appreciate the help.

• hard disk crash (intelligent control error 0303) cannot use the recovery

  I have a hp pavilion dv6-6050 and it crashed suddenly I can't use recovery option, because it cannot read hard drive

  I tried to connect the hard drive to another pc via sata-usb cable and the other pc has detected hard disk read errors

  How do I return the recovery partion so I can use it on a new hard drive

  Hello:

  You will not be able to.  When the disc is dead, it took the recovery with her partition.

  You will need to order a set of recovery discs, and they can only be used if you buy a hard drive of the same size or more large storage capacity than the one who died on you.

• Satellite Pro L650 - hard disk is not initialized.

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L650 and I am having some problems.

  It all started a few weeks ago, I received the dreaded screen black death (windows could start, but then just came up with a black screen and a cursor. After playing well, I thought that a reinstall of windows would do the trick.

  It worked, but none of my pilots have been installed... After much research, I found my Toshiba repair disc. I put in and went to fix it. At half way through formatting the drive, it came with an error, saying that he was unable to delete a specific file, it asked me to reset.

  So I reset, and it came with a screen with "this disc is not initialized, Please initialize now."
  So I pressed Yes, and it resets, it came with the same screen. and again and again.

  So that's where I am. It is only a year old, and already got the replaced disk. I'm desperate difficulty, I don't want it to become a grammage of paper-dear...

  First of all I m wondering why the message appeared saying that the disk is not initialized have you used the Toshiba restore for the OS installation disc or have you used any other Windows disc?

  On the other hand, it might be possible that your HARD drive is malfunctioning, the cursor blinking in the upper left corner is a sign for this fault
  So I recommend you to check the HARD drive. Use a tool like Drive Fitness Test, for example, it helps you to check the HARD disk
  If errors will be displayed so the HARD drive needs to be replaced

• Satellite L305D-S593 - disk read error

  My Toshiba Satellite L305D-S593 suddenly stopped. At first I thought he had a little more heated or something, but when I tried to turn back on it gave me a message saying disk-read error press ctrl alt del to restart. I did several times in the same direction. While I tried to reinstall windows, I got lucky if she showed to the installation screen once it did, I followed the instructions for installation clean (I had to do it once before, but for different reasons).

  Once he brought me to the menu had to select a partition to install on I said to do it on the main HDD after some loading and that time, he said that it was impossible to complete the formatting required. So I Redid the process and I noticed the music said it had 288 GB of available memory, but before that, I had only about 40. To remedy this, I clicked on the format button and it says that it cannot complete the action because the disk is about to fail.

  PS My processor is 64-bit AMD Turion dual core mobile, with 4 GB of RAM

  Hey,.

  In my opinion, it has something to do with the HARD drive itself, I guess that it s a bad sector so Windows Setup can format t HARD drive properly. I mean before you tried to reinstall Windows, the system could not start due to a disc read error. This means that the files on the HARD disk are confused because of bad sectors

  You can install Windows Toshiba Recovery disk?

  If it doesn t work too, I'll try to replace the HARD drive. Usually, it is not complicated and can be done in 5 minutes.
  In addition, you can check the HARD disk for errors with diagnostic tools special as Drive Fitness Test. Google a bit for such tools, they are freeware, so it s no problem to find. ;)

• The constant hard disk - system and DiagnosticAgent.exe wrote to 300 different activity. Files of the PNF at a constant rate - starting programs negatively impaired.

  Something similar to this began after a time, I was installing updates (somewhere in June or July). A month later, after I installed SP2 via the update, the problem presented differently (just as bad). Here's what I found recently of the reliability monitor and performance:

  -DiagnosticAgent.exe > C:/windows/inf/infcache.0 = wr 1.5 MB/min x 2 (constant) (sometimes up to 6 x)

  -System > loads of instances (~ 500) on. The files of the PNF in C:\Windows\inf\ =
  mainly writing<100kB in="" but="" some="" write="" up="" to="">
  -Diagnosticagent.exe > loads of instances (~ 500) on. The files of the PNF in C:\Windows\inf\ =
  mainly writing<100kB in="" but="" some="" write="" up="" to="">

  (total of instances of 1000 files .pnf; 300 different ones, several up to 12 instances of the same .pnf, half of them at least 4 instances of the same .pnf.)

  I don't see many cases playback from the hard drive. Even at 100% highest active time, the graph of the disc in the performance bed also monitor, an average of only 2 Mbps. When Disk Defragmenter is running, it is an average of 50 MB/s.

  This constant HDD activity about 1000 cases write in 30 minutes continuous .pnf files after startup and after awakening from sleep. While that happens, most of the programs, after loading, do not react for 5 minutes, then run as usual. Even the message control user account often fails to appear before it expires (in 2 minutes) during this time.

  I tried Googling on hdd constant activity on the PNF files, but did not find much.

  I will try using the restoration of the system again, although I had a few unsuccessful attempts with her.

  I have Norton Antivirus installed, which scans for viruses periodically. It is not really the cause of this unknown and unusual hard disk activity I know.

  Hi Tiscando,

  Welcome to microsoft windows vista forums!

  You did any recent changes of hardware on the computer?

  Have you run a memory diagonstic test?

  This question may be occurred due to services (3 programs) running during startup.

  I suggest you put the computer in a clean boot and check:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135 - how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista

  (By putting the computer in clean startup - you can find which program is causing the problem)

  Note: Turn the computer back to normal once the test is done.

  Analyze the computer from infection by the virus:
