• Satellite Pro P300 - remove the HARD drive to make a backup?

  My P300 went to my local store to repair for a network card problem. I thought it was just a software problem or driver, so I wasn't worried that my machine is still under warranty. After investigation, they stated that they could not resolve the issue, so would be to reformat and reinstall the OS, they thought they should solve the problem.

  To my horror, I found that they had broken the seals of guarantee and open to the top of the machine. They claimed the only way to save the P300 before reformat it, is to remove the HARD drive!
  Is this true?
  (It turns out that a broken chip is to blame, but because they violated the warranty, Toshiba will not touch!)

  Can anyone say about this the removal of HD to support it please?

  Hey,.

  Normally it of not necessary to restore the factory settings with to remove the HARD drive but don t you worry about this. The laptop can still be opened from a service provider authorized without losing the warranty.

  I also put t know why they did, perhaps they have checked the material. It would be possible because they have professional diagnostic tools.

  But interesting to know whether or not your problem is now resolved?

• Satellite Pro A210 PSAFHE: need new HARD drive compatible

  Hello

  Jealous of my relationship with my Tosh laptop - my wife - angry of stupidity, decided to slam closed
  OOPS, it no longer works.

  After cooling down - she did not apologize, BUT said she would pay for the repair.

  After investigation, I feel it may be the hard drive - I have re-installed from master disks and it worked sort of--even allowed to install aol.
  AND he then stopped loading - hearing closely it seems to be looking for the hard drive to complete the load.
  It's a Toshiba Satellite Pro A210 IB1 model PSAFHE - 00800PEN and has a Hitachi hd
  HARD DRIVE: 5K 250-160
  Model: HTS542516K9SA00 5 v DC 700mA 160 GB SATA 5400 RPM

  I can't seem to find one anywhere - tried to contact Toshiba to know what would be appropriate replacements - picking the winning lottery numbers would be easier to get through Toshiba. So I thought I would try the forums.
  In my opinion, it's the hard drive BUT as a mere mortal, I could be wrong - all advice would be appreciated.

  Please tell us what drives fit

  Hello

  It seems that the laptop supports a HARD drive 2.5 SATA.
  As the controller SATA HDD has no limitation, all SATA 2.5 hard drives should be compatible.

  If you want, so you can choose a 250GB 2.5 SATA HDD THAT and normally it should work as part of your laptop.

• his long of high height of 1 sec of the hard drive?

  Toshiba Satellite L40-139.

  I would like to ask if anyone else has experienced: the HARD drive makes strange noise, the noise is a random high pitch 1 long beep second, followed by a clicking noise.

  The HARD drive model is: MK1237GSX DL130M

  Department of Apperently Toshiba HARD drive will not be replied to my question, I wrote 2 times now and got the promise that they would get back to me within 24 hours, which they never do!

  My question is simple: does sound HARD drive is defective?

  So let me to know if someone else has experienced.

  By profession, I am a supporter-IT and I heard several HARD drives about to fail, but I have never heard of this kind of her before.

  With greetings

  Hello

  > Apparently Department Toshiba HARD drive won t my question answer, I wrote 2 times now and got the promise that they would get back to me within 24 hours, which they never do!
  They respond to? As much as I know the Toshiba does not directly e-mails. If someone has a hardware problem, then you will need to contact the ASP in your country.
  It is a usual way to account for certain issues or hardware issues with Notepad.
  So I wonder not if you get no answer

  With regard to the spontaneous tone.
  Well, it's really not easy to say what causes this without any detailed mobile controls.
  Second it looks like that it of not easy to reproduce this beep. Thus, the investigation could be more difficult.

• Satellite L300 - made HARD drive failure?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L300 age of 4 years (under Vista) who is suddenly suspended frequently.
  A bit of investigation leads me to think that it is a hard drive failure.
  Basically, chkdsk/r crashes at step 4. Disk defragmentation also blocks.

  I can start safe mode, and it seems to work ok.
  Is not an expert, could someone tell me if I jump to the wrong conclusion?
  Y at - it a diagnostic tool to specific hard drive from Toshiba that I could use?

  If the standard duration for these hard drives 4 years?

  Finally, when a hard drive crashes, it's just the specific physical areas that are illegible? or will it progessively spread and worsen very quickly?

  And I have everything backed up if not concerned about data loss but I was wondering about the short-term future.

  Thank you for any advice and provided thoughts.

  > Is there a diagnostic tool to specific hard drive from Toshiba that I could use?

  You can use another tool of diagnosis of HARD disk as disk HARD Drive Fitness Test.
  This freeware tool that allows you to scan the HARD drive.

  This software creates a diagnostic boot disk and you will need to boot from this drive to run the test.

  > Finally, when a hard drive fails, is it only specific physical areas that are illegible? or will gradually expand and worsen very quickly?

  HARD drive problems are always difficult.
  In most cases if the HARD drive crashes, you will be able to access files stored on the HARD drive.
  But different COMPUTER experts would still be able to recover files lost with special tools. But in most cases, these rescue operations are expensive and cost a lot of money.

  HI, I had touble with this computer bogged down and all the readers to fill in. I didn't know what I was doing, and I ended up remove the recovery D: drive which is not that big of a deal since I still thanks to Geek Squad recovery discs...

  (Is question 1, there a way to take data from the recovery disks and place them on a new recovery partition?)

  and part 2...

  trying to understand this stuff, some investigations lead me to computer management > storage > DiscManagement, which seems to indicate a second hard drive, as big as the one I filled up to... but it is not attributed...

  The C: drive is listed as 0, the reader

  the unallocated drive is listed as disk 1.

  and there is 298,09 GB unallocated

  with a black bar instead of blue as the C: drive...

  What is c?

  I can format to use, or is used for something else? doesn't seem to be all the data on it is not allocated, but I thought I should probably ask before touching.

  The specifications of the computer indicate that there are two 320 GB hard drives in the computer:

  Where is the info on iomega Prestige USB 2 HARD drive? I just got this (used) and can not get

  It copies information very fast. I formatted this unit, for Windows 7. I made a backup of

  my computer. This computer has apx. 300 GB of info. After 10 hours had the iomega

  Note of the moderator; edited topic.

  Mr. Lenovo,

  I used a new cable this morning. The player had made a backup in an hour and twenty minutes.

  This is the first time I experienced a bad USB cable. Always a first time.

  The only difference that I noticed this trial, has been anything but downloaded unit on 7 GBs in

  tweny minutes, it took an hour to complete the last 7 GBs. We'll see how it works

  thereafter.

  You can close this investigation. Consider that everything accomplished.

  Thanks for the help and information.

• nvstor64 error - failure of HARD drive to read data

  Backup and restore system is unable to complete - after investigation, about an hour after the backup operation to the system event log records a large number of errors in nvstor64 - "failed to read data from the HARD drive" and the abandonment of the backup operation.  After investigation, I found that the nvstor64 replaced the windows driver update disk drivers HARD during a computer video card.  After many contacts with support from nvidia and further consideration, the problem is reduced to the State of the offence alleged in the second hard drive backup (Seagate 1 TB Baraccuda - development since 2/2011).  When you run the HP disk HARD diagnosis on this drive, it does not hard "SMART short self-test" step with the error message "fails first LBA 45511183".

  Here's my question.  Run the chkdsk BACK on this disc utility passes - no bad sectors.   The HARD drive is visible in the operating system and appears to be fully accessible.  I moved 100 GB of files from the disc to others in the network with no apparent problems.  This really works test by the "SMART short self-test?  This is a 'false positive' test failed?

  Hello smithdp,
  
  The SMART test tests in-depth hard disk. Here's the Wikipedia record for the short trial (they can explain better than me).
  http://goo.GL/XYCvm.
  Short
  Check electrical and mechanical performance as well as the disk read performance. Electric tests could include a test of memory buffer RAM, a read/write circuits test or a test of the read/write head elements. Mechanical test includes seeking and servo on the data track. Scans small parts of the drive surface (area is provider-specific and there is a time limit on the test). Checks the list of areas that may be read errors in waiting. (Usually less than two minutes.)
  
  Having said that it is not perfect, because no test is, it could be bad, or it could be on-site. Sometimes the SMART test can give a warning, but the drive will not fail for another month + is just a 'heads up '.
  
  Now, with your error in particular LBA is logical block address. The error you are getting is that there is a block (45511183) that the test has detected an error on.

  Press the power button and then press the F10 key to access the BIOS. Run the hard drive Diagnostics. What I saw in my investigation shows it's a 160 GB SATA hard drive.

  There are a few ways that you can use to solve the problem.  You can try the online scanner of ESET.com to remove the offending code or you can try Malwarebytes. MalwareBytes is recommended by some members of the forum, and there is a free version. The ESET online scanner is also free. I prefer the ESET online scanner.

  The simpler but more radical solution would be to make a recovery to factory state using the HP Recovery Manager. You should be able to access the market with the F11 key recovery manager. If this isn't the case, you can use your set of recovery disks. The downside of the HP recovery solution is that you will lose all data and programs you have on your laptop. advantage is that everything works again once you have installed the drivers.

• My Dell XPS 8300 hard drive fails? Intel Rapid Storage detects the error when starting upwards.

  My computer (dell xps 8300) has recently frozen and when it restarts it scored one of my RAID 0 hard drives as being a mistake. Surprisingly, my computer still works as always and after an investigation, I traced the gel to vuze trying to check a file after he was already down. I deleted the files causing the freeze and have not yet encountered any more freezing problems. But I'm still very worried, so I ran a disk check, who quickly said the disc is clean, and I also ran tests HD (Long & short) dell support center several times and they always say that readers are working properly. Today, I ran a checkdisk windows another who had a lot more time but seem to come clean. But to restart the computer disk was marked later once again as being a mistake. So I ran the tests of short and long and difficult road dell support center, once again, and the sound still saying everything is working properly. I then decided to try to start some other diagnostics of hard disk: seagate seatools and rescuer of Western Digital. The player has passed the tests of the Seatool, but almost immediately failed the tests of rescuer WD giving the error that there are too many bad sectors. Any advice on how to proceed would be much appreciated!

  Lack of an operating system is the message you get when in fact there is a properly peripheral storage seen by your BIOS, but it is not a valid partition with a valid boot sector table.

  I fear that you may have installed the operating system on a RAID-0 configuration and only now try to start from one half of the band?  Yes, you can WD 500 GB RAID-0 an and a 1 TB Seagate together.  It would be foolish (same capacity as a single player, but all the falls of RAID-0) but the computer doesn't know any better.

  The RAID configuration (breaking apart the RAID) must arrive before the installation of the o/s.  The RAID/mobo card is one of the early stages of the process, he takes these 2 physical disks and mounted as a storage to the motherboard, allowing it to boot from it etc.

  No matter what is happening currently, my advice would be to remove the RAID from the system discs.  You don't want a broken drive / failure connected, even if you do not use it because the computer will continue to warn / complain the RAID broke, the startup BIOS will be keep showing you a disc is seen mistakes SMART, and finally the failed drive can degrade to the point it actually damage something.

• Desktop computer does not recognize any material (hard drive, cd/dvd-rom)

  Hi, have no idea if anyone can help me out here; but my computer is upward; at first, I thought it was the hard drive, but after further investigation, I noticed in the configuration menu of the BIOS that none of my records are to be noticed; I then went into the "boot" and then into "boot device priority" to see if I can put in my recovery cd so that I can just start there and it gives me a list of boot devices... 1st; 2nd; 3rd; 4. a group disk Boot Priority "NOT INSTALLED" list and it says 'NOT INSTALLED' for all of them... it is a dead motherboard?  I don' t want to go geek team and ask them to charge me 70 males just to tell me that.  I prefer to get all my stuff on the hard drive and hope I can find someone who can fix this... any advice would be really appreciated!

• When I deleted a picture of my MacBook, why it also remove the external hard drive?

  So I tried to help my wife to free up space on his MacBook Pro by putting all of his photos on an external hard drive. After iPhoto slide the hard disk and wait 40 minutes so that he could transfer, I wanted to make sure it worked. I ejected the disk and then plugged in. Of course, all iphotos were still there. Just to be sure, I deleted one file in the folder on the computer's iphoto. I went to my shock and horror, the external hard drive, that it has been deleted it too! How is that possible? I've been scouring the Internet trying to retrieve this file with no luck. It was not in the trash. There is a tab "recently deleted". Time machine was not turned on. iCloud shows nothing. I can't download any software, because the computer is completely filled. How is it possible that by deleting this folder on the computer he did also leave the hard drive? AND it has not been saved in the trash? I have used PC, and whenever I need something in return, he was ALWAYS in the trash. And if I deleted something on the computer with an external hard drive connected, it would NEVER be removed from the external hard drive at the same time. I'm so frustrated and feeling SO bad that I deleted a folder with important pictures of our kids. Is that what I can do to recover the pictures? Any help is greatly appreciated.

  You used Time Machine at all? I see you say it was not on, but it never on and is at - it a backup Time Machine on the Macbook Pro?

• How to change back to SSD HARD drive?

  My mcbook pro comes with the original 500 GB of HARD drive. When he ran with a problem, I went to an apple repair shop. Problem was in the charts, and he suggested the HARD drive to be replaced by a 120 GB SDD. So it has been replaced, but the guy on the left HARD drive as a storage device. Moment where DDI is left with small space and when I update to OS X El Capitan of OS Sierra, it had to be installed in the HARD disk drive. Could someone please give instructions to install the new OS to the SDS to lose all my data and the current configuration and it is also possible to install windows XP on the HARD drive and 10.  Either by the way, I got Windows 10 and XP shared with the SDS via parallels. Thank you

  I think this can be useful for you:

  How to use an SSD with your HARD drive If you want to use an SSD as boot with your existing HARD disk drive, as the disk 'data', here is what you can do. After installing the SSD, you need to partition and format the SSD using disc utility disc. Then install OS X on the SSD. Once installed OSX boot from SSD. Startup disk preferences to set up the SSD as the boot volume. Open the preferences users and groups. Click the lock and authenticate you. Or CTRL - RIGHT click on your username account list in the sidebar and select Advanced Options in the context menu. You will see a field called "Home dir: ' on the far right, you will see an Edit button. Click on it. In the file dialog box, navigate to the location in house now located on the HARD disk (disk HARD/users/user_name /.) Select the folder, click the Open button. Restart the computer, as shown. When the computer starts, it will now use the home located on the HARD drive folder. Another more technical method involving the Terminal and the alias is discussed in depth here: using OS X with a SSD and HDD - Matt Gemmell configuration. It's my preferred approach because I can choose which records of the House, I want to on the HARD drive and I don't want to. For example, I like to keep Documents and library files on the SSD because I frequently access their content. Make sure that you keep the bootable system entirely on your HARD drive where you need it.

• Seagate external hard drive / / no display

  Recently I bought a Portable Seagate 2 TB external hard drive for my MacBook Air. I put all my movies, music, ext documents on my hard drive with my important homework. The reason why I did was reset my mac, then return all my old documents, photos ext, back to their place of origin. I have managed to do and frees a lot of space. A few days after my MacBook fell asleep with a connected external hard drive and now the hard drive is no longer present on the desktop or in finder. I am able to find in my "disk utility" , but for some reason, it shows the hard drive passed out faded gray and full? I tried to hook up with different cables and on the various devices as well. Also sang the first aid option in "disk utility" with no other results. I have contacted apple support and found out it was the external hard drive with the problem, so they couldn't help me. They then redirected me to Seagate Support, and I had already tried the methods they gave me (see list above). I was wondering if anyone here on communities of Apple has experienced the same problem as me, it would be that much appreciated advice you may have. I have important files that I need to recover.

  Help, please!

  Had a similar problem with external hard drive WD also on model MBA early 2015. Found if I disconnect the external hard drive restart MBA and then reconnect the external hard drive it was working normally again.

  Another thing I tried was still unplug HD plugin MBA on sector and re - a SMC.

• MacBook Pro not mounting external hard drive

  My Macbook Pro (early 2015, running Mac OS Sierra) is not able to mount my [new] external hard drive (Seagate Backup Slim). It shows up in disk utility, but the volume seems shady. Nothing happens by pressing the command mount or performing first aid. Kindly help me out here.

  Hi vishesh97,

  Welcome to the communities of Apple Support!

  We understand your question that you have a new external hard drive, a backup Slim Seagate, which does not appear when you connect to your MacBook Pro.

  Allows because it is a new hard drive, try to clear the disc first and formatting for Mac OS extended (journaled). The instructions for this process are found in the article below:

  For Mac disk utility: delete a volume using disk utility

  See you soon!
