• cooking of the primary hard drive files

  I'm tring to back up all my files, but only my recovery files are back up. When I click Change backup settings, I noticed two hard drives listed. The main hard drive and the hard drive recovery. The hard drive recovery is the only one that I can select and deselect. The main hard drive is already enabled and cannot be deselected, yet when I save files and the custom of primary hard drive then upward. Is it possible I can open the hard drive so that I can save? On the way back up there is a message that says that Shadow backup is in progress. That this has something to do with the fact that the basic motivation is the watch that it is selected but are let me uncheck it? Thanks for any help you can give me.

• HP Envy x 360-m6-w102dx: primary HARD drive Bay * failed the Diag Test

  Hello

  When I turned on my laptop this morning, he showed a black screen with text showing "an imminent failure" and run diagnostics. I ran diagnosis on everything, and when he came on the hard drive, it showed a failed test of "Primary hard disk 1 HDD Bay." I tried to contact HP support and all led here. I am very inexperienced with computer problems and would like to find a solution to this. If it helps, the failure ID is 0GC3HW - 7P881T - GXGJMF - 60DT03. That failure came from a SMART hard disk check and I don't know if this seems to indicate a failure of the hard drive and I don't know what else to do. My laptop cannot start and there is no lead back me to the screen black with the same texts when I turn turn it back on.

  Mfortuno, welcome to the forum.

  The SMART test does not, therefore, you have a failing HARD drive.  The only solution is to get it replaced.  If you're not compfortable with opening the case of your laptop, you should take it to a computer repair shop called.  While I'm not a big fan of the Geek Squad, they sell HP computers and know them well enough.  You should buy a HARD drive that is the same size or larger and the recovery media can work.  In my view, that it is a video that allows you to install the SSD or HARD disk.

• Help to new primary hard drive sounds: HP Pavilion 6620f PC

  I'm a non-technical guy who just replaced the main OEM 1 TB drive with a VelociRaptor 300 GB 10000 RPM hard drive. The installation went well, thanks to the fantastic instructions of the manual of HP and it works fine. Hard Disk Sentinel (free version) tells me that his condition is "perfect."

  Here's my question:

  • the new drive is intermittent but constant and subtle sounds and I don't remember hear them before.
  • Is there a problem or is it only a function of another type of hard drive?

  For any help or suggestion accepted with gratitude! I hope that I worry about anything, but do not have the technical expertise or experience to know!

  Thank you

  Linda

  Hi Linda,.

  Hard disks have different acoustic characteristics according to the manufacturers (and in overall models from the same manufacturer).  In addition, you went with a 1 TB of HARD drive that probably have a rotational speed of 5400 RPM on a faster drive.  If you are hearing just weak 'rattling', I think it's perfectly normal and given the utility disk HARD sees no problem with the drive, I would say that everything is fine.

  Best regards

  Strike F1 does nothing.  F2 goes to the Setup utility, but then I don't know what to adjust to try to get it started.  Any ideas?  Thank you.

  In addition to DataBaseBen comments, it's a pretty old computer.
   
  I had problems with a Dell Dimension 8200, which was only a year or two before IIRC.  If other procedures do not work, try this.  Open the case of the computer when the computer is turned off.  Turn on the computer and listen to the record hard spinning upward (note that you will hear also the fans start at the same time.)  If you do not hear it hitting the drive cage (where are the screws that hold the drive in the cage) with a hard object with enough force one or twice to see if it turns upward.  I guess you have a Western Digital 80 GB of size IDE drive in the computer.  I had this player to age actually stick when he was off for a long period of time and the 'coup' to the drive cage it works.  If she starts now, download the player replaced as soon as possible.

• Primary hard drive 0 not found Dell Latitude

  Hello

  I just bought 2 notebooks of Dell Latitude D800 with no operating system. The first laptop is fine, but the second, when I turn it on it shows the Dell screen with the loading bar. The loading bar is to halfway to the end when it freezes. The system freezes on this screen for about a minute, then it beeps twice and a black screen that says:

  "First hard drive 0 not found '.

  No bootable devices - don't strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for Setup utility.

  So I go into the BIOS and see under "internal hard drive" and he says: 'no '. I checked and make sure the hard disk has been activated, and it is.

  I took the hard drive and reinstalled it. Nothing. The drive is a Toshiba 40 GB. In addition, mention, the reader makes a weird noise (not the click of death) and the hard drive on the laptop stays on all the time.

  Other D800 I mentioned boots very quickly and displays a no. OS screen, which is very good.

  So is my dead HDD?

  Thank you

  It is quite clear that the BIOS does not recognize the hard drive.  I suspect that the IDE controller on the motherboard has failed.

  Given that you have two cell phones similar to fool around with, probably the fastest way to isolate the problem is to swap hard drives.  Call the laptop that does not have one and one that works B

  If the laptop has now boots and cell B now is not, you know that the player who has been to A is bad.

  If A laptop computer still does not start and portable B boots again, then you know that the two disks are OK and the problem is the motherboard or the connector of the drive in the laptop.

• How to add a 2nd HD as the primary hard drive with an OS, STILL make my current HD, as a 2nd hard drive.

  Hello

  I have a Dell Inspiron 530 (Core 2 Quad with 4 GB of Ram - Win Vista Home) with an internal 500 GB SATA HD and want to replace it with a WD 1 TB SATA internal hard drive and add an operating system (Win-7 - 32-bit).  I hope that this isn't really a problem, and yet, I would like to use my current 500 SATA GB internal HD, I replaced, as a (the) 2 internal SATA Hard Drive.  Years, 2 two different internal hard drives have been set as master and slave.  Any ideas on how to make the transition to the larger 1 to SATA HD, install an OS on it and then install my previous 500 GB SATA HD as a 2nd HD internal?  Thank you very much for any help!

  You can leave the 500 GB drive, as it is if you want.  The system configuration has a menu item, the boot order, which determines which device gets tried first when you start the system.  Most Dells made before 2012 make this easy for you, because if you do not have a RAID actually running on the machine, the disk hard boot option is limited to SATA 0.  That is why your boot hard drive must be attached to this port.  The operating system on your 500 GB drive not even considering, although it is possible to set up the boot on SATA disk 0 files so that you can start the operating system on the second disc.  Systems of multiple starts work like that, and if you want this option, the installer of Windows 7 would even set up for you.

  I have Windows XP on the SATA 0 drive in my XPS 410.  I bought a second drive, started the Windows 7 dvd and run the Setup program to install Windows 7 on the second disc.  When my computer starts up, a message appears giving me the option to boot or the other OS.  Make no mistake, however, if the SATA drive 0 fails, you cannot start the second player by itself.  Initial startup files are always on SATA 0.

• Installation of your primary hard drive question Precision M6500

  I bought a Precision M6500 that didn't have a hard drive or a caddy in it. It doesn't have a secondary hard drive. I bought a shopping cart, but do not see how the hard drive connects to the motherboard. Another part is necessary? Here are some photos of the space in my laptop where the main hard drive is supposed to go.

  Thanks in advance for any ideas on that.

  

  

  Too bad - it was user error. The sata connection is hidden beneath the motherboard. I see now and simply drag the hard disk and in the connection.

• Cannot be self selecting primary HARD drive at startup

  Hi all

  I have an iMac of 2012 which is having some bad start correctly. The question is, when turn on/off, the iMac does not find any boot device and must go through the manual selection of boot at the start of the order. Once started, everything works fine, and I have no further questions. I tried searching online for a possible answer as to why he is unable to find a bootable device automatically, but only to find answers on how to manually select a startup disk, which works, but is a temporary solution.

  Anyone know what can cause this and a fix? I hope that this issue can be fixed at home, because my warranty is long gone.

  Thanks for your time!

  You don't mention it so I have to ask, have you been in system-disk startup and selected your startup disk Preferences?

• Satellite A300-GN1 - HARD drive load something every time

  Hello

  When the pc loads up on top of the office, after about 1 minute HARD drive starts to load something 15-3-minutes (maybe check out or almost).

  Also when I finished no matter what disk HARD game starts to load something.
  Maybe someone knew how to fix it?
  I thought that it is auto defrag problem, but it's not...

  Vista Edition sp1 family.

  I guess there is nothing wrong with your laptop.
  I think that it is a feature of Vista.
  Vista always indexes the HARD drive to improve the desktop search.

  If you do not use this feature, you can disable it.
  Use the command Services.msc in the Start Run menu.
  Scroll of double-click 'Windows Search' it and mark it as disabled

  But personally, I would not recommend disabling because it would slow down the search.

• HP Envy Phoenix 810-160: hard drive crash?

  Hello

  My desktop computer has been acting lately. Before start time allows to be very fast, but now is the time to start take much more time. Then when I want to start the computer, it looks like not detected media presence and try to start on the network. I looked online and saw that a solution to this was to rearrange the order of startup, so I made sure that windows boot Manager was the first and followed the online instructions to disable startup by network. Now when I try to start, I get a screen that says don't: no operating system installed on the hard disk. I then ran a test drive that has no hard drive. Then I restarted the test and drive past. So my best option to replace the hard drive? In this case it is the disc ssd of 16 GB to be replaced or the 1 TB hard drive?

  Thanks for your help

  @New_Guy1, welcome to the forum.

  It would be your primary hard drive (HDD) that needs to be replaced.  The SSD is simply used as a cache for the HARD drive.  You should consider to replace the HDD with a SSD.  The increase in performance is amazing.

  I have a HP 860-170vr Gaming ready desktop computer.  It came with a HARD drive installed.  When first started, I couldn't believe how slow it started.  I installed a Samsung EVO 840 500 GB SSD, I had bought earlier.  It made a world of difference.  If you buy a HARD drive, it should be the same size or larger than the one replaced.  This is to ensure that the Recovery media will work.

  If you decide to go with a SSD I suggest Samsung.  They seem to work best with the HP BIOS.  I'll be happy to tell you the best way to install it.

  It is apparent from the foregoing that I need to replace my Samsung portable player. The laptop is just more under warranty but the hard drive still has a 3 year warranty. I asked HP, but is that what I need to work with the manufacturers of discs? Also as the owner of the laptop, there no right to obtain the original OEM Windows 7 DVD delivered pre-installed with laptop. DRM for your answer.

  Best regards

  Even if a hdd in detail have a guarantee of 3 years any hard disk used by a manufacturer such as HP is not covered by this warranty. It is covered by the warranty of the laptop / desktop standard.

  Most consumer machines do not come with a standard Windows disc, but have installed the software that is used to burn a set of recovery disks that is used to reinstall Windows and all original drivers/software. If you did not burn your game, they can be ordered from HP for a small fee.

• MORE BIG SATELLITE 2595CDT-COMPATIBLE HARD DRIVE?

  Hello

  I'm new to this forum.
  I have this problem.
  I want to improve my 6.4 GB hard drive in the Toshiba Satellite 2595CDT (acquired in the United States).
  I sent an email to Toshiba America and their Division of storage devices, but they keep forward me to local representatives. I ain't get all the answers from them so far.

  My question is if (ver 8.20 update) Satellite 2595CDT BIOS can recognize natively more large hard drives. My intention is to buy a 60 or 80 GB drive.

  Any other owner of the Satellite has this problem?

  Thanks for your help.

  Radu

  Hi Radu

  I think that you who keep Toshiba pass you to local representatives. Try to contact them and you get a lot more information. As far as I know that it is possible to build in the HARD drive with a very high capacity. It is also possible to manage settings of the BIOS to recognize the large capacity HDD. But for this it is necessary to use special tools that have just HARD drive vendors.
