Problem with a hard disk on the Satellite 1800 750

Hi all!

I have problems with my Satellite 1800 750 therefore than the hard drive not to be recognized. Means I can start from floppy disk or CD-ROM, but not hard drive. I create in the hard drive to another laptop and it works well. In the BIOS, I see two (HD and CDROM) IDE devices. From pure DOS diskette and try running fdisk also does not show me the HD.
What can be? It is a total mistake on card mother IDE #1 have a defect or is it a BIOS problem? Or something else?

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Kind regards
Werner

Hi Werner,.

He cannn be your IDE controller has a loose contact.

But in a first time, you must set the BIOS to the factory settings. Press ESC key after power! Then you have a short list of commands at the bottom of the screen!

If this does not solve the problem you correctly a hardware fault. This should be checked by a Toshiba Service partner. Go to https://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com - support & downloads - find an authorized Service partner

  • Problem with external HARD disk - cannot mount the mac partition and can't unmount the partition windows

    Hi all

    Need your help. I have problems with my external hard drive. I worked on it yesterday when the cable is a little detached and disassembled my intestinal HARD drive.

    Here are the specs:

    1 Macbook Air 11.5 "running on El Capitan (10.11.1)

    2 Buffalo Ministation external (1 TB) HARD disk divided into two: a Mac partition (for time machine) and the other a windows on FAT32 partition.

    Before the accident yesterday, it was working OK.

    Now, when I connect the HARD drive, it turns on but the Mac partition cannot be mounted (it does not appear on the Finder. I opened disk utility... just load forever and does not work) and the Windows partition is visible... but I can't take it apart without turning my computer.

    I can assemble and disassemble a USB stick very well.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Maybe you can explain a little better.

    I would like to make some general comments before having your replay.

    It is not wise to use TM on a disk with apple unformatted or partitions, it is preferable to have a dedicated TM drive also.

    For TM, the rule is that the drive is about 3 times the size of the boot disk.

    Normally you 'survive' a good step disassemble the drive external, but in this case with a another partition formatted on this subject, I'm not sure if that do not corrupt the disk, especially since the Windows partition is bootable. I have suspct the partition GUID on the TM partition table is corrupt.

    I propose to start the disk completely: in DiskUtility select the 'higher' level (name of manufacturer) and the Partition, one OS X Extended (journaled) partition table Partition GUID. And use it only for TM, is not too big for this.

    Have another drive formatted NTFS for Windows.

  • Waste of space on the hard disk on the Satellite C650 - 15 X

    Hello

    I found a problem on my laptop Toshiba Satellite C650-15 X (almost new), I bought several months ago. It has a drive hard 500 GB volume in 2 partitions: C and D-with 250 GB each; and Windows 7 Premium 64-bit operating system.

    There is something strange about the partition D: it is 225 GB of missing! After scoring all of the files in the partition D > properties, there are only 25 GB in use and really little or no free space! There isn't any system or other files with this 25 GB. More than 220 GB in partition D is simply disappeared.

    C partition looks normal. Tried all known Windows tools: check disk, defragmentation, convenience stores, etc. without results. Any suggestion or idea what s happened past and how to fix it? Thanks in advance!

    Can you please open Computer Management > disk management. Make a screenshot and post it here.
    I would like to see exact HDD structure.

    grateful for the help on the situation of the Hard disk on the Satellite A60-159 and advice on removal and replacement of the HARD disk.

    Hello

    Well, I put t found any blankets or slots at the bottom of the unit. In this case, I think that he must remove the keyboard and some other covers.
    But if the warranty is valid you must contact the ASP for replacement because if you open the Notepad or if you remove the covers you lose the warranty.

    Thanks in advance for your advice

    Concerning

    You can do it. No problem at all. Hard drives are not specific model of laptop parts and with hard drives is important compatibility.
    On the new laptop, which you can use different hard drives. Important is that use you compatible HARD drive.

    Just do it. After Exchange of HARD drive install Os again and everything will be OK.

    Hi all!

    * Qosmio G30-154 * (* PQG31 *).

    Demo of the Qosmio has 2 hard drives with XP MCE (32 bit) installed on the primary.
    The RAID parameters are JBOD.
    BIOS is "newer" 3.90

    I would try to upgrade the drives (without installing any OS) and... have a problem!
    BSOD "Stop 0x0000007B" after 'clone with resizing' for the main HARD disk.

    I read on [drivers Toshiba RAID | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=48489] also [how to integrate the AHCI driver when installing Windows XP | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9401AN0000R01.htm] and (or)

    F6 (for all usb drivers) is not available to boot OS, sorry.

    "cloned" drive is in line with the correct name of made in the BIOS. "Cloned" secondary drive works (with old primary school). How to get access to the new primary OS and loading cloned? Please, any ideas?

    Hello

    I think that the system cannot boot to the new HARD disk as the partition where the system is installed, was not marked as bootable system partition.

    I recommend to insert the previous HARD drive and to start the laptop.
    HARD drive new, cloned could be connected as an external HARD drive to a USB port.

    Then you should go to disk management (right click my computer - manage-> management-> disk management computer)
    Here you can see the HARD internal disk and the 2nd HARD drive connected to the USB port
    Right-click on the partition (2nd HARD drive) where the Win XP has been installed and choose the partition as the system partition and mark it as active.

    Then you could change the HARD drive again and could power the device in place. Usually, the system should boot to the top of the new marked system partition.

  • Problem with drive HARD and Vista install

    Hi all

    A few weeks ago, my Dell Inspiron laptop computer started to freeze. I could boot ok and my desktop wallpaper and icons were all there, but I couldn't run or open anything. I did the Bios tests and my Vista installation disc and told me there was a problem with my hard drive. I wiped it and tried to reinstall vista and that I could see it wasn't working because it took hours and then seems to have stopped again during installation. So I bought a new one and tried to install Vista. everything was going well until it is restarts a second time and I got a black screen with a mouse pointer icon. I had to reinstall it running for about 4 hours, at least an hour of that time which was all that was going on and the hard disk wasn't spinning.

    How long on avg would take to install Vista, if it is running normally?

    is there anything else that might be a problem that would not appear in the repair of Vista or Bios diagnostics?

    Any advice would help a lot.

    If the new hard drive does not work, then the problem is on the motherboard. Your description of symptoms indicates a power supply or motherboard failure. Contact Dell technical support for repair or replacement. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
