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!

  • Problems with drive HARD Toshiba MK1234GSX

    Hello

    I have an Acer with a secondary HD TOSHIBA MK1234GSX 9920.
    Since I installed Windows 7, I have problems with the HD.
    Upon restart, the HD is considered as having problems with windows: when I look in device management, I have this message "Windows has stopped this device cause it has problems. (Code 43) »
    I did a full scan (chkdsk), but no not found errors.
    If I turn off the HD, reactivate and restart, sometimes I can access the HD which works perfectly.
    Does anyone have an idea on this?
    Thank you.

    PS: Sorry for my English :)

    CHKDSK is not good to test a HARD drive for bad sectors, its only good when looking for errors of the filesystem (FAT32 or NTFS).

    Test the hard drive to find errors using DFT.
    DFT download: http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#DFT

    Download the ISO file and burn it to a CD - R disc (there is also a version on disk if it's easier).
    If you don't know how to burn an ISO file, read this guide: http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm
    Restart your laptop and boot from the disc of DFT.
    Choose the 'Advanced' test and let it run (it may take an hour or two).
    If you see a message in red box, the HARD drive is faulty.
    An error code 0 x 70 means there are bad sectors and the HARD drive needs to be replaced.

    Hi Madril,

    Thanks for posting this question in the Microsoft Community.

    Could you give us little answers so that we can have a better understanding of the issue?

    1. you are trying to boot Vista on Windows 7? If this is the case, I suggest that it will not work.

    2 you both fill the operating system installed?

    I would like to inform you that when you start in Windows Vista or Windows 7 regardless of the drive, they can be installed, Windows display readers primaries than C. Drive C is always reserved for Windows. That's why Windows it will show that the C drive.

    If the dual boot works fine, you don't have to worry about what.

    You can also format the hard drive, create two different partitions and then start Vista in a drive and Windows 7 in another. You can also go through the article on multiboot and check if it helps.

    Hope this helps and provide us more information if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help you.

  • Problem with Satellite A300 and Vista 64 bit

    I just bought a Toshiba Satellite A300-1CO model: PSAJ4E-03R015PT, which came with an impressive 4 GB of ram device.
    I knew with Vista 32-bit, only 3 GB would be available, but since I got a license of Vista 64 bit I care, came home and installed it.
    When I looked up the drivers on the toshiba site, no drivers for Vista 64 bit drivers were available!
    I have now 4 GB or RAM available and I also have problems with face recognition software, microfone, sound card, card reader and a few other things.

    I searched the websites manufactors drivers and I managed to get some of these things barely usable, I don't think that it is a SD solution.
    Other laptop brands are made available long drivers for vista 64 bit some of them even for XP 64 bit!

    I would like to know how long take to Toshiba do official drivers available for vista 64 bit on their Web site.

    Best regards, Pedro P.

    I was looking for 64-bit drivers for my laptop, but since this is a new model, the drivers were not yet available. I checked a few weeks later and they were no longer available.

    Just wait awhile, they should be available soon.

  • Satellite A100 - update BIOS problem with phlashnt.sys and Vista 64

    I downloaded the upgrade of BIOS (file S10V600.exe) for my Toshiba Satellite A100-437 (PSAA8). When I try to launch it I get the answer:
    "Unable to load driver.
    ... \PHLASHNT. SYS
    ...
    This driver has been blocked form load.
    Error code: 1275 "
    (I rolled points instead of less interesting part of this message.

    My system is Vista Business 64 - bit SP1.

    I turned off User Account Control (in fact it the first thing I did after installing Vista ;)).
    And just to be safe, I also tried to right click on the S10V600.exe file and choose "Run as Administrator".
    I was using the admin account.

    Nothing did. Always the same window with the above message appeared.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Concerning

    Maybe it's because you have installed Vista 64-bit?

    You may need to use XP or Vista 32 bit update of the BIOS.

      Thank you

    If you use a router as a wireless access point, make sure 1) you have disabled DHCP; and (2) it is on the same subnet as the first router (which will do DHCP). For example, if the #1 router is 192.168.1.1, then the #2 router (wireless access point) must be something like 192.168.1.245. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Problem with new HARD drive and Qosmio Player installation

    Hi all
    I hope someone can help, I had my Qosmio for 2 1/2 years now and recently had a problem with the hard drive. I decided to replace the hard drive, because it was the fastest solution. The problem I have now is that I can't receive TV on media center. I tried to install qosmio player at the disk to see if it made any difference, but when I run the provided recovery disc software tells me that there is not enough disk space! The laptop came with a 60G hard drive and the new HARD drive manufactured by the same manufacturer is a 150 GB, can someone help me out with this would be appreciated.

    Thank you
    ED.

    Have you tried to install Qosmioplayer initially, then on operating system? If I remember well, on this first portable Qosmio, it was very important to install Qosmioplayer initially.

  • I get an error code 10. DT High Definition Audio CODEC driver problem. Have uninstalled and re installed, still no progress. Any advice? I have

    I bought a new laptop, Dell Vostro 3550 and found pirated software. I installed Windows 7 Pro (64 bit).

    There is no sound at all. Get a code 10 message, IDT High Definition Audio CODEC has a driver problem. I uninstalled and re installed the driver without result.
    If anyone can help?

    Hello Eugene,

    When you installed Windows 7 Pro, did you do a reformat and clean install, or have you just loaded Win 7? Part of the problem may be a residual of pirated software. I recommend a reformat and clean install if you can do it now.

    In the contrary case, the thing to look at is if there is a driver conflict between what driver is there now compared to what was there. Go to control panel | Device Manager and watch the video, sound, and game controllers section. What drivers are here for audio? And which audio driver your speakers are pointed to? The active audio driver suitable for your speakers.

    If you could answer my questions, I might be able to help you further.

    Kind regards

  • Have installed Photoshop CS4. Replaced the drive hard and now I get error code 150:30. What should I do to get it working again

    Have installed Photoshop CS4. Replaced the drive hard and now I get error code 150:30. What should I do to get it working again

    Migration of CS4 breaks the license. That's what 150:30 means. Assuming you are using a Mac.

    You can use the Terminal method to repair the license... but I stress that carefully read you and understand the instructions here before you run it. beginning

    If this isn't what you want to do, you have to reinstall.
