• Satellite M30: Unknow Hard Error - could this be a problem of hard drive?

  I got my Satellite M30 for 2 years now and it never gave me any problems, until a few weeks ago. The problem started shortly after I put Windows to SP2, when I played a game it would stick for a minute or two, and then continue on as usual, the problem slowly got worse and started blue screening with "Unknown hard error" and sometimes strange balloon in the lower right corner saying unknown hardware error and then freeze it. It also took a long time to start and generally do nothing.

  Assumed it was a problem when I've upgraded to SP2, so I decided to reinstall Windows and start over again, update the BIOS while I was home.

  Once this is done it seemed fine for an hour or two, but then tried to install a game and of course, the good old blue screen appears and the whole problem starts again.

  I took it to a repair shop and explain the problem and I had re-installed Windows nothing helped, and I suspected that it may be a hardware failure, I left it with them, and 2 days later I get a call saying its all fixed and ready to be picked up, I asked what was wrong with it and they said that they re-installed Windows and sound now works fine (i.e. what I their) I said, I had made and n t worked!). I picked up (and got charged £40 to have done what I had already done). I got it home and everything seemed ok... for a few hours, then blue screens seemed to tell me any physical dumping of beginning and the usual stuff.

  I think it might be a drive problem hard, like when I tried to install a game on it at night last light CD and HARD flash drive, one for about 15 seconds, then the other for a short time, data copied from one to the other, but then the HARD drive light stayed on, and I could hear the HARD disk as if it were sticky , after about a minute of this blue and close short-listed and took some time to turn back. If I leave a couple of hours and it starts fine until the next time.

  So, after my long description on my problem, I have 2 questions,

  1. could I be right in thinking that these problems are associated with hard drive?
  2. If I'm right, is easy to replace on the M30 HARD drive and where I would buy a new?

  Thanks for your time and help,

  Kenny.

  Hello

  The blue screen appears only if you play games?

  But I agree with you. In my opinion, there would really be a hardware malfunction.
  The question is - it s a HARD drive or something different?
  Hmmm. I think that the problem is not related to the disc HARD but maybe overheating?
  According to the publication, sometimes when you play games. The game is a high performance application. All devices running with maximum performance and produce heat.

  I m not 100% sure, but maybe the high temperature has a bad influence on the system and therefore the BSOD happens.
  You suggested that the laptop run properly for about 2 years. Maybe fans can cool properly because of the dust and debris. Two years is a long time if you have not cleaned the cooling modules and fans.

  Please help me how I can solve my problem.

  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.

• CHKDSK problem or hard drive failure?

  Initial post:

  Hello, I may be in the wrong place, so you can direct me to where I can ask my question.

  Just got back from vacation 2 weeks and my wife discovered she began to receive some kind of message "error." I discovered that whenever the computer is turned on, it now tells me to run the chkdsk utility. As usual, it takes several minutes to perform his task. Nothing wrong is indicated, then it starts normally. Next time that the computer is turned on, same cycle. It's never happened before. Last night, I ran across 6 startups with the same results.

  The system is Win7. Computer was built with all new interiors in Dec of 2013.

  I'm reading through some of the posts here but I'm a bit confused on what to do or how. Is there something wrong that might have recently caused it to start? (I ask this question because my wife has used to be around computers and electronics, when things start to get weird)

  Any help would be welcome.

  Thank you.

  Concern for follow-up:

  I've been playing with some of the initial proposals offered to try to circumvent this problem without success.

  I found out from the following: I can't do a "System Restore" that I get some response suggesting a 'corrupt C drive '.

  And, while I was out of town, a parent of a young visitor has apparently downloaded a game program without my knowledge.

  I tried to do a safe Boot and get to the window displaying the downloaded windows files. At the bottom of the screen, it tells me to "Please wait:.» After about 6-7 minutes, the machine restarts by itself and seems to start successfully to the blue welcome page. However, after closing everything down and restart again once, I still get the chkdsk 'needs to run... '. "once again. I don't play this step correctly?

  I noticed just a few posts here regarding the possible comments "hard drive is running out." Any relationship or similarity with what I can see from the "System Restore" also noted a possible C drive problem?

  The C drive is a WD 2 GB device installed new in Oct of 2013, so I'm surprised if it's bad already... but these things happen.  Help!

  Correct intuition of zig - zag that the hard drive has failed. Your drive is a failure, can be fixed by you and must be replaced.

  Follow its says on the backup of your important data as the car is still under warranty and should be returned for a replacement: http://support.wdc.com/warranty/

  When you receive your replacement meter test using these two utilities:

  (1) WD utility: http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=611&sid=30&lang=en

  (2) HD Tune: http://www.hdtune.com/

  (3) pass marks burn in test: http://www.passmark.com/
  Burnin test, and their test bench at the same time give a good workout from all the major parts of Windows.

  The paid versions of HD tune and PassMark are worth the investment as the two are testing the drive completely.

  Note: When each of the 3 test above is complete check the SMART values for any signs of deterioration.

• Problem creating hard drive recovery

  I just bought a new T61 with Vista and went to create the rescue and the proceeds of the recovery disks. Everything goes well until R & R prompted me to insert the fourth disc of the set, how this error came.

  Disk is not ready or busy to perform another operation.

  Data were not properly stored in the disc currently in your drive. This disk can be is no longer usable.

  Click OK; Then, insert a new disc when promotion.

  I tried multiple disks, but got the same message. Also tried to restart the process, same thing, but this time from the beginning, IE once the program seemed to try and write on the first disc. Tried to uninstall and reinstall R & R but the same thing. In fact, records that won seem to have some data written to them. Also checked the drive and burn photos to a CD and running a DVD pre-recorded and everything seems fine. I read online that the process will only let you create a set of rescue and recovery disks but I think a full to be up to 8 CD, my process interrupted after 3 and don't work no more?

  I guess I can ask Lenovo for a set of disks (if they are really needed), but I wonder if I have a big problem?

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

  Thanks for this review. I tried all this and test to check the drive burns on CD and DVD. Everything seemed to go well with the computer. I even tried to reinstall Rescue and Recovery. But nothing seemed to solve the problem, whereby the disc creation process seemed to stall, hang or crash after only one just a few CD had been burned.  So I called Lenovo Australia and the technician that I talked to was suggested to use a different brand of CD - R. I said that I had done this without success. Then he suggested then I use DVD - R instead. I went and bought some and here it worked first time and without a hitch. So apparently, problem solved, use only DVD-R of for this if you can - drive less anyway.

  Either way, Lenovo Australia were not to simply send a set of on-demand recovery discs - it seems that they don't do so when there is a serious fault proved with the hard drive. I have not so far as to ask if I could just buy a set anyway - just in case.

  Thank you

• How to get out a failed upgrade of El Capitan caused by the problems of hard drive space

  Upgrade to El Capitan on a MBAir (2010).  Upgrade failed near the end due to a problem of hard disk space.  Now stuck between choosing the language screen and the warning message upgrade and not can not go out to clear space on the hard drive.  Suggestions would be welcome.

  You are able to restart on your old system or you are unable to do so? You can start in the Recovery HD? You have a recent backup?

  If you are unable to start altogether due to lack of space, then you will be forced to erase the disk and restore of OS X from scratch.

  You can try to start HD recovery and to do this:

  Reinstall El Capitan without erasing the drive

  HD recovery start: restart the computer after the ring, press on and hold down the COMMAND and R until the menu screen appears.

  Repair the hard drive and permissions: at startup, select in the main menu disk utility. Repair hard disk and permissions as follows.

  When the recovery menu appears, select disk utility and press the continue button. Disk utility charges and select Macintosh HD entry indented from the list on the left.  Click first aid button in the toolbar. Wait until the operation is complete, then quit disk utility and return to the main menu.

  Reinstall OS X: Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

  Note : You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest to use Ethernet if possible because it's three times faster than Wi - Fi and more reliable.

  
  

• problem with defrag

  I have Vista Basic on my laptop and can not defragment.  It analyses the disc and says I don't need to defragment.  When I click on the Defragment button starts, runs for a few minutes, then begins to analyze again.  Defragmentation never gets made.  I tried to run the error checking thing, but nothing has changed.

  Hello lvework, welcome.

  The problem you are experiencing is probably related to your drive being fragmented as well as Windows is unable to defragment it. I would suggest trying an alternative tool to start defragmentation and then switch back to Windows after a utility that. Basically, we will eliminate the problem.

  1. download and install the free defragmentation utility called "Defraggler".
  http://www.Defraggler.com/download/downloading

  2. Once downloaded, install the utility and run it

  3. its interface is quite simple, you select the drive you want to defragment, and then click "Defrag".

  Run the tool once, then switch back to the Windows utility and see if you can start defragmentation.

  Let us know,

  Thank you!

• Satellite 1880-400-problem of HARD drive

  Can you help me?
  I had trouble with my laptop because I got it in 2001. It is corrected for various problems at least once a year to snap together case needing to replace the power cable.

  A few months ago, I needed to contact Toshiba and ASP because the computer just starts not at all and asked product codes that I had never had (the software has come ready installed). Finally after receiving a disc of starting a techie and I fixed it, but now it went bad again. This time the power light lights up but the screen remains blank, the drive blinks, and else nothing happens at all.

  ASP has also not replaced my serial number stickers and have not returned since the last time original restore disks it was fixed. They are aware of this, but still does not do anything. Fortunately, I have the original serial number written down.

  Do I have reason to think that the poor are eventually died?

  Hello

  On this path, it is not easy to say what's wrong, but if there is no HARD disk activity after you press the power button / stop and if you aren't able to enter the BIOS settings, I assume that there is a serious hardware problem.

• Data storage 3.5 "Toshiba Canvio problem with permanent fade.

  Since I started using the Toshiba Canvio 3 TB 3.5 "external data storige disc he found himself a strange faul which makes it difficult to use.

  Data storage, for example when I use it to watch a video file off and then it start immediately again to go back... It can happen to the breast of a movie 20 times and it is very annoying because you never know when the judgment will happen...

  How to fix this please?

  Hello

  In my opinion it is not very easy to say why the external HARD disk automatically turns off while watching a movie. But this issue does not seem that there might be something wrong with the settings or software.
  Of course, some tools are available and installed on the HARD drive as the NTI Backup Now EZ software but I n t think that this could affect the playback of the movie. However, this software supports and automatic backup function and you can change how often your backup intervenes (hourly, daily, weekly, etc.). So try to disable this setting for testing purposes.

  Fact is that this 3.5 HARD drive must be connected to a power adapter and HARD drive supports the USB 3.0 interface but it s backward compatible with USB 2.0.

  I put t know what are the USB ports you have used for the connection of HARD drive, but I recommend you test all the USB ports taken in charge by the PC.

  Last but not least, it could be possible that there is a hardware problem simple HARD drive
