• Why my computer says "Windows has detected a hard disk problem", even though it says that the drive works fine in the properties?

  Hello

  I was doing some courses on my computer until this window came on my screen and playback;
  "Windows detected a hard disk problem. I immediately went and checked in the properties to see the current status of the disk, and it says "this device is working properly" I am confused and decided to restart my computer. Again, read the error message and it says that the disc was allowed in properties. Every 15 minutes or so, the same error message. I'm running on Windows Vista Edition Home Premium and have had the computer since 2008. Is this a virus? Or - is this just the computer falsely detect a problem?
  Can anyone help please?

  Thank you very much

  Liam

  What you see in the drive properties in Device Manager has to do with drivers and the drive configuration, not the real state 'physical' the reader.

  First of all, I error side of caution and if sure you have a backup of all your personal files, data, music, photos, contacts, movies, etc., external media (favorite external hard drive).

  Run the check disk (chkdsk); I suggest to run with two checked options, difficulty of file system errors and scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

  How to run the check disk at startup in Vista or Windows 7

  Many manufacturers of computers and most hard disk manufacturers have diagnostic tools free you can download and run to check the status of your drive. Check on the web sites of their respective support.

• Windows error "windows has detected a hard disk problem.

  my laptop has an error without any code number

  r
  What should I do?
  I think it was bad sector and check my hard drive and windows indicates that your drive hard n, t have any problem
  Please help me

  It will be only a bad sector. When you get this message, Windows is NOT pleasant.

  Don ' t mess around the disk check. Back up or copy all your stuff important to an external hard drive if you have one. If you do not, it would be a good time to make the investment.

  If your machine is still under warranty, contact the manufacturer of the computer for hard drive replacement.

  If she is no longer under warranty, buy a replacement hard drive soon and move your system through him.

  Manufacturer recovery disks will cross the OS and restore the recovery partition. The backup/copy of your important data will allow you to restore the data.

  No doubt you have installation media and codes key for all your other stuff. Note now...

• On the Satellite C - Windows HARD disk failure has detected a HARD disk problem

  Since 2 days have been making repeated dialog "Windows detected a hard disk problem", warning of potential failures of the disc so back up, what I did. Disk in question is a Toshiba MK-5065GSXN.

  As a non-tech user, my instinct is that a new laptop is a better choice than to call Toshiba support for a laptop warranty (2 years) out of.

  On the other hand there may be a simple software fix. The opinion or advice welcome

  Hello

  The message says that something is wrong with the HARD drive.
  It might be possible that your HARD drive will die sooner or later so his need to backup data on another HARD drive, disk or flash memory.

  Finally, I must say you n don't need to buy a new laptop just because your HARD drive starts to hurt work in such cases purchase a new HARD drive and replace it
  HARD drive is not very expensive and the replacement of the HARD disk is very easy in your user manual

  PS: what model of laptop you have exactly?

• "Windows detected a hard disk problem" disk name VOLUME: WDC WD3200BEVT - 602CTI ATA DEVICE: C:\;D:\

  A message box appears every 10 minutes saying "Windows detected a hard disk problem" disk name VOLUME: WDC WD3200BEVT - 602CTI ATA DEVICE: C:\;D:\        If I click on backup now (that I tried to do it on the hard drive Seagate and CD... and it gets to about 35 to 50% then fails)... it goes to the BSOD...

Help, please! ....

  The disc is a failure.

  Copy what you can from it to your backup device. You may need several attempts to make the copy.

  Don't try to backup the drive: is not remaining usable for long enough for a full backup complete.

  Then replace the disk and reinstall Windows and your applications and data, and retrieve your information from the user of the copied data.

• Satellite L650 - Windows detected a hard disk problem

  I have 9 as 4 months old satellite L650 that this microsoft Windows message keeps popping up. "Windows detected a hard disk problem, back up your files immediately to prevent the loss of information... etc" have I not a bum hard drive or is it a mistake?
  I have
  have the media discs to recover and this means that I have to reformat the HARD drive and try again. !

  Hi watthhel,

  I think the error message must be correct to Windows 7 and you must do what tells you the message: immediately back up your data and replace the HARD drive with a new one. In your case I would never save important files on the HARD drive. Too risky to lose important files

  Your laptop is 4 months old and that would mean it s covered by the warranty. Contact your local authorized service provider and ask for a replacement drive. They will exchange it and the service is free. :)

  Hello tassie steve,.

  You should replace the disk, and then clone on all content, including the MBR (master boot record) to the new drive. What brand you buy, you'll be able to download this free utility software from their site. Do it now, while you can always transfer your data! Hope this helps you. Make it a great day!

• Windows detected a hard disk problem after factory reset?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5320, not old at all. I tried to download a game and then got the BSOD. I had to reset my PC, lost what I had, but ended up from scratch. Now, every so often, I get a message saying "Windows detected a hard disk problem. Back up your files immediately to prevent the loss of information... ». I have right click the disk hard "defective" for the error checking, no errors found. I tried HD Tune Pro, and tells me 'Warning' for the State of health (05) reallocated sector count (failure) is red, and number of events (C4) reallocated (warning) is yellow. Does this mean I have to replace the hard drive? The computer was working completely fine until BSOD. Now it works and everything but I get this error message. The laptop is not only really old and never any injuries, but perhaps past warranty. I really have nothing left to save, because I lost everything when I have to reset it to factory State. Any advice?

  It's really up to you.  Sometimes there may be false positives, but it looks like your drive is really having some problems.  It was even the cause of the BSOD, who knows.

  You can follow the steps of my colleague here to check your drive for errors:
  http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/6221-chkdsk-check-drive-errors-Windows-8-a.html

  But really, I would take the advice and replace the drive.  Or at least be prepared for this 'die', then save your files somewhere else like OneDrive or something so you don't lose important information when it does.

  Hi guys.

  I think its time I replaced my hard drive. Ive done all the checks and his return there is no errors with the hard disk, yet whenever I connect I get a message saying that there is.

  I guess that's only a matter of time before things get more serious.
  Its just now that it unattached restarts automatically.
  Ive gave my laptop below specifications and the specifications of the hard disk drive.
  I do not know which drive hard im supposed to be looking at.

  I don't want to buy one and then duty send because its incompatiable.
  Ive done some reading on the internet and he says I cn buy any production, but I need to know wheather its an IDE or SATA, what are these and what do mean? How can I find out what my current car?

  Also should I look for a hard drive with the same speed? It doesn't matter if its fatser?
  Wise, capacity is also ok for larger, will my laptop be able to handle it. Thanks for help

  Hello

  The Satellite A200 supports the SATA HDD controller.
  That's why you need to buy a SATA 2.5 HARD.
  The value of the rmp is not really important for compatibility issues with the 4200 RPM HDD or more is possible and compatible.

  SATA controller not limited to any size of HARD drive, you can also use large drives.

• Product name: G5350uk: Windows detected a hard disk problem

  Hello

  Windows 7

  Serial number: [personal information deleted]

  Product name: G5350uk

  Number of hard driveT3750528AS

  Windows and Intel are telling me that my hard drive is about to fail, but no reason is given. The drive is only about a third full.  I saved everything according to the instructions of Windows but don't know how to proceed.  Windows tell me to contact the computer manufacturer to determine if the disk must be replaced or repaired, but as my PC is now out of warranty I do not know if HP would be able to help me.

  I have attached a PNG file with two errors.  Printing of Intel is not very clear but says "drive on Port 0: at risk.  I have reset the error but it keeps re-appearance.

  Can someone point me in the right direction to have this issue resolved for example find a cause and repair or replace the drive?

  Thanks for your help

  

  Hey there @cws777!

  I think it will be best to replace the hard drive with a new one. As @wb2001 writes that you can try to clone your current OS using a cloning software, and if you decide to go with a WD drive, you can use Acronis True Image WD Edition:
