• Satellite T110-121 - Question about disk and hard drive recovery

  Hello

  I started to use my nice new Satellite T110-12. How can I create a recovery disc?

  Why is there that a common message on the vibration has been detected, HDD head has been moved to a safe position? Is there something wrong? I would return it before the week is up?

  Please answer, thanks a lot a lot!

  Hi LindaMon,

  > How to create a recovery disk?
  What about reading your user manual?
  You need a 8 GB USB key for the creation of a support recovery and preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

  > head drive has been moved to a safe position?
  Yes, that's normal and everything is ok with your laptop. Your HARD drive will be protected by HDD/SSD Alert utility which is a nice feature of Toshiba to avoid accidents of the head and can improve the lives of the internal HARD disk.
  But yoou can disable these notifications if you want. ;)

• Question of Disk Defragmenter

  Original title: back to top

  Is there a setting to weekly automatic triggering of minimum defrag in Win7/64

  I would like to chime,

  I believe that if we should open the defragmentation and configure a Defrag scheduled unless they also open services and parade to Defrag and click on > properties > startup type, I believe that by default is manual, should be changed to automatic or automatic (delayed start)

  On one of my machines, I have noticed this problem under W7 Home Premium

• Question about disk performancy system

  Hello.

  My situation: I have a virtual machine that contains the server to Oracle 10 g. It has an Intel Quad processor, 4 GB of RAM and SERIAL ATA drive. We have problems of serious performance with Oracle. Using statspack I found that the TOP 5 blocks contains sequential read and write parallel events with high expectations. Also, we run some benchmarks of performance, and they prove my suspicion: this disc is less than my home PC. Looks like we need to change our system of virtual disk. Material on which we run Vmware servers have the disk RAID offers great performance with system.

  But! How do I system virtual disk speedup? I can't find anything useful in the preferences of virtual server...

  Sorry for the stupid question if this is...

  Thank you!

  VMware Server was out of use for a long time. He never was not intended as a platform for production software and would not have been supported by VMware or Oracle as a platform for Oracle databases. The reasons for my being exactly the issues you see.

  Your material seems he could suport ESXi running. http://VMware.com/go/ESXi I would check the HCL to make sure that your hardware is supported, including the network and disk controllers. http://VMware.com/go/HCL

  ESXi is supported by VMware for running Oracle

• A few questions about Toshiab reocvery disk for Satellite P300-133

  Hello guys,.
  I had a few questions about unpleasant surprises of recovery:

  (* 1) * I just make recovery DVD using Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator and he asked initially for 2 DVDs - but when one has been done it does not require a second blank DVD. Is it possible all the Windows Vista system files to write on 1 DVD?

  (* 2) * if I could reinstall Windows Vista using recovery of HARD drive option (by pressing F8) without using the recovery DVD?

  (* 3) * HARD drive partitions that will be formatted (just system C: or C: and E :) using HARD drive recovery?

  (* 4) * what is DVD - Image of the hard drives or the installation of Vista recovery files?

  Its pretty bad idea to not include BONES on DVD when I paid for it.
  Thanks for all the Toshiba problems :(

  1. I think the recovery disk creator means 2 CDs. I also have a Portege M700 with Windows Vista and a DVD. I got it and after that, I have a clean install of Vista with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba. Nothing is missing.

  2. Yes, you can reinstall Vista using recovery of HARD drive option when you press F8 at startup. You don't need the recovery DVDs, but you should create a when your HARD drive get some errors or something else. If you need a new recovery DVDs, you paid for one.

  3 HARD drive and complete partitions will be formatted, so backup your data first on a DVD disk external DRIVE, USB stick or something else.
  After the reinstallation, you have factory settings.

  4. the recovery DVDs is an image of the HARD disk on the factory settings. If you perform a recovery, there are all the drivers and tools are already installed. Of course, on the disk are files of installations of Vista, but you can use this DVD on your Satellite P300. The disc cannot be used on another Satellite or on a PC.

  If you have any other questions, take a look in the user manual. There are a number in the formations of the recovery. It s in Chapter 3.

• Question about Dell OEM: SLP Windows 7 Installation disk domestic; can it be installed and activated on other computers from Dell?

  I bought a Dell installation disk and I want to use it to install a better version of Windows on my Dell PC. I have windows Vista and I want to use it to update my OS Windows7 Home Premium. However, the license type is SLP:OEM and no detail... not sure what SLP: OEM means... I thought that the OS discs are the same. Someone told me no retail editions are not suitable for a new OS, but I'm confused. The disc says, Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit, but didn't holograms who have all MS OS disks and the disk is labeled for use with a Dell system only, if the means it will work very well on my Dell PC? The label does not which brand or model this disc is for, but said only for the Dell PC which is my PC. I'm assuming, the disk won't work on all Dells, maybe someone can offer suggestions, any help is much appreciated. Thank you!

  I have a few other questions about Windows 7, can I ask you about this on your Web site? Do not know how to contact you on your website. I can see other people responding to your articles, but that's all. I thought that maybe their might be a forum to post a question... Thank you for everything.

  You can comment on my site but comments will be public and it is easier to answer questions in the forums.

• Disk Defragmenter cannot defragment volume HP_recovery (D)

  There are 40% of free space on the C: drive.  There are 13% space available on HP_Recovery (D).   To function effectively, disk defragmentation requires 15% of usable space.  It is said to remove some unnecessary files on the hard drive, but he has little left to delete files.  I don't know what to do to be able to defragment the HP_Recover (D); that is fragmented btw, horribly.

  Help?  I'm not very savvy computer.

  What is your problem and you, why you have one?  Something or someone say you?

  Since the Microsoft Answers forum does not have any kind of information system request when a new question is asked, we know absolutely nothing about your system.  Not knowing the basic information a problem prolongs the frustration and the agony of these issues.

  Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems as frustrating and a lot of time as possible.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  What is your Internet browser and version?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  What do you see (exactly) that you don't think you should see, and when you see it?

  What do not you think that you should see?

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

• I am unable to run Disk Defragmenter.

  When I try to defragment I get an error message that says: "cannot run because Disk Defragmenter scheduled Chkdsk /f..  If please run Chkdsk and try again. "I tried to run Chkdsk, nothing helps.  Can anyone help?

  It's a shame that we don't know anything about your system, or you would be probably done now (it's not your fault), so the first response to a new problem is a bunch of questions.

  Provide information on your system, the better you can:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

  What usually ends up happening, is that you will need run your chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console.  That's the short answer.

  If you do not have a bootable XP installation CD authentic where you can boot into the Recovery Console, you can create a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and run chkdsk /r from there (no media XP required).

  On your question (simple copy/paste for me and a lot to read, but you will understand things when you're done and prevents you from losing time trying ideas that will not work):

  When you try to defragment a volume of that Disk Defragmenter reports:

  Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c :))
   
  Please run Chkdsk /f.

  This means that the volume that you want to defragment was marked 'dirty' XP.  This is not necessarily all of the data has been lost on the volume, it simply means that XP thinks that the volume should be checked to find errors because of something that happened before.

  You won't be able to defragment the volume until the dirty bit has been removed.

  This does not mean that a disk check is scheduled to run, and you can't cancel what needs to happen in this case because this isn't the problem.

  Also the dirty bit is not set on a volume, you can still run a disk defrag with a record of date of arrival in the meantime (try).

  Entry of commands to reset or erase a disc awaiting review is therefore a waste of time - that is not the problem.

  A volume can be marked as dirty, if the system underwent a power interruption (power failure, pulling plug, removing the battery, button / stop), abandoned restart or an abnormal termination.  One of these events?

  When XP starts, it automatically checks the bit of impurity on each volume.  You can also tell XP to ignore the bit of impurity on any volume, but this probably isn't a good idea in case there is a real problem that needs to be fixed.  If you have a hard drive where the dirty bit will not disappear, you can tell XP not to check.

  If the starting XP detects that the volume is dirty, it will be automatically run the check disk with error correction (chkdsk/r) and try to fix the problems detected.

  If the chkdsk command succeeds, it clears the dirty bit, and then you can defragment the volume.

  You can check the status of your bit of impurity from a command prompt window.

  To do this, click Start, run and enter in the box:

  cmd

  Click OK to open a command prompt window.

  For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive C, type:

  fsutil dirty query C:

  The sample output:
  Volume c is dirty
  Volume C: is dirty

  You cannot use fsutil or chkntfs from a command prompt to delete the bit of impurity on a volume.

  The only thing that can clear the bit of impurity on a volume is chkdsk /r (or chkdsk/p).  You could tell XP not to check the bit of impurity on a volume where the dirty bit does not erase, but this probably isn't a good idea since there is some sort of problem on the volume.

  You also won't solve this problem by editing your registry database - not where is the problem.

  Once a volume is marked as dirty, the only way to clear the dirty bit is to run "chkdsk/r" or "chkdsk/p" when the volume is not in use.  The only way a volume can not be used while XP is just starting to load or from the XP Recovery Console.

  If XP will not run chkdsk correctly when your system restarts or the dirty bit will not erase as it should, you need to look in the Event Viewer log chkdsk and see what is happening and fix it.

  If XP will not always clear the dirty bit, you need to run chkdsk/r of the XP Recovery Console so you can look and see what works and run it again until it works.  If your hard drive fails, you may never be able to clear the dirty bit, in this case, you can also say XP never check the afflicted volume dirty bit.

  Saying XP not to check the bit of impurity on a volume would be risky behavior because there would always be some kind of problem with your hard drive.

  You can manually program the disk with error correction check to run at the next reboot of the system, but if the dirty bit has been set, XP should run check disk automatically with error correction during the next reboot.

  This is usually the case that after a reboot, the problems will be resolved since XP will automatically run check disk on the Sales volumes when it restarts.  If you do not check that the chkdsk results of newspapers after his execution on a restart, you will never know what problems are corrected or remain.

  When you choose to run the check disk with error correction in the Tools menu of disk properties, you will be prompted with a message similar to the following:

  The disk check cannot be performed because the disk check utility needs exclusive access to some Windows files on the disk
  .
  These files can be access only by restarting Windows.  You want to schedule the disk check to occur the next time that you restart Windows?

  Answer Yes, if you want to schedule the check disk on the next reboot of Windows.

  When you choose to run the check disk with error correction in the command prompt window, you will be prompted with a message similar to the following:

  The type of the file system is NTFS.
  Cannot lock the current drive.

  Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process.  You want to schedule this volume to be
  check the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

  Answer Yes, if you want to schedule the check disk on the next reboot of Windows.

  When XP restarts, let the disc over to check and correct the problems, he could find.  Do not interrupt the disk check.  It can take a long time (hours or days) to complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive light flashes, it's something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  Is there a problem with the chkdsk command that works on reboot and it doesn't really seem to do something (too fast) or not to clear the dirty bit (check the dirty bit), the command chkdsk which took to restart results in the Event Viewer Application log.  Look there to see what happened.

  When chkdsk runs automatically reboot, you may wonder where to find the results.  The results appear in the Event Viewer Application log.

  You will need to get there after the disk check performed and XP has finished loading for the results and all the problems.

  To view the logs in Event Viewer, click Start, settings, Control Panel, administrative tools, event viewer.

  A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

  %SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc

  Click OK to launch the event viewer.

  Look in the Application log for a proposed Winlogon event, something like this successful race:

  Event type: Information
  Event source: Winlogon
  Event category: no
  Event ID: 1001
  Description:

  Checking file system on C:

  The type of the file system is NTFS.

  A disk check has been programmed.

  Windows will now check the disk.
  39070048 KB total disk space.
  25151976 KB in 78653 files.
  48256 KB in 10264 index.
  0 KB in bad sectors.
  237080 KB in use by the system.
  65536 KB occupied by the log file.
  13632736 KB available on disk.

  Windows has finished checking your disk.

  If you see errors - same errors that are corrected, you must run the disk checking with correction of error again (chkdsk/r) until you see no error.  You should have no errors.

  If you need help interpreting your event, post it here for analysis.

  If you double-click on an event, it will open a window of properties with more information.  On the right are black up and down arrow keys to scroll through the open events. The third button that looks like two overlapping pages is used to copy the details of the event in your Windows Clipboard.

  When you find an interesting event that occurred at the time of your question, click on the third button at the top and arrows to copy the details and then you can paste the details (right click, paste or CTRL-V) the text in detail here for analysis.  Remove all personal information from your information after you paste If you are forced to do so.

  If the chkdsk command that runs on every reboot XP does not clear the dirty bit, you must run chkdsk/r from the XP Recovery Console and see if that will clear things upward.  It is a good idea because you can watch chkdsk as it works and see the results on your screen instead of looking in the event viewer connects or wondering what happened (she also just 'feels' better when we see that it works).

  If you have no authentic XP bootable installation CD to boot into the XP Recovery Console, you can create a CD bootable XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console, and then run chkdsk /r manually.

  Need instructions on how to create a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console to run chkdsk/r manually?

• My family for vista disk defragmentation program premium will not fix. How can I solve this?

  When I put the calendar for defragmentation, good times are displayed.  When I log out and then log back on "next regular time" is listed as EVER.  I can't seem to accept the most updated schedule.  When I google this question, I see that it is a common problem for owners of Vista Home Premium

  Hello

  Run the sfc/scannow command.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
  2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
     sfc/scannow

     The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions

  If SFC detects the main problems it can't fix you may need to borrow a Microsoft dvd vista not an acer, HP etc. recovery disk and do a repair installation

• Why Disk Defragmenter made several passes?

  Why Disk Defragmenter made several passes?

  7 days since the beginning and now the third pass and consolidation.

  John

  This topic deals with your original question.

  http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1567990

  It is not definitive, but the debate has highlighted a number of points.

  Personally, I use Defraggler because it has a better user interface and allows me to better control the defragmentation process.

  http://www.Piriform.com/Defraggler

  E partition unless you free disk space by 15% while the system will struggle to, if not fail to, defragment the partition. Before Defragmenting, it would be better to increase the available disk space on the partition to about 25%.

  Which files contains the partition? The computer is a desktop or laptop computer? What is the hard drive?

• Satellite A350D - 20K - Question about upgrade second HDD + Temperature

  I have a question about my laptop. I have notticed it is a second location of HARD disk on the bottom.
  Is it possible to use this to increase my storage?
  And if yes, how do I do that? I don't see all the connectors.
  What type of HARD drive to use in case it is possible to use this slot machine?

  My second question is on my laptop to be very hot after a short period of use.
  I installed speedfan to record the temperature. When I start the laptop, it already is between 45 and 50 degrees.
  He stayed there for half an hour and then it starts to get warmer. When I start to use the laptop for anything, it triggers to between 70 and 80 degrees.

  This does not seem normal to me. I tried to clean the vents with compressed air, but it has not made a difference.
  I searched on the internet how to take the laptop part for proparly cleaned TI.
  But I can't so I'm looking that destroy it.

  This could be the cause and more importantly, how can I solve this problem?

  Tom

  The second HARD drive bay contains the HARD drive connectors?
  If Yes, then you can use a SATA 2.5 HARD.
  If there are no connectors, then you will not be able to use the second HARD drive

  > I have installed speedfan to record the temperature. When I start the laptop, it already is between 45 and 50 degrees. He stayed there for half an hour and then it starts to get warmer. When I start to use the laptop for anything, it triggers to between 70 and 80 degrees.

  CPU and GPU produce a lot of heat. The heat dissipation is always created then there s nothing unusual that the temperature rose to higher level.
  You can change the settings in Win 7 power management. You can set the CPU to lower performance and can increase the activity of fan, which will help lower the temperature.

• Question about the recovery partition

  Hello.

  I have a question about the recovery of HARD drive partition.

  If I do the operation to clear the hard disk option in the wizard it will remove * all * or it will keep my partition recovery in this way I can come back later. I want to know because I would like to put on a different OS.

  I know he said he would, but caution in the PDF, I found it says that on a normal recovery too (that he would remove each partition) and I'm a little confused about how the recovery actually worked.

  Thank you.

  Hey Buddy,

  To be honest I n don't know what you mean exactly with this option to erase.

  In General, Toshiba Recovery disk will wipe your entire HDD to restore factory settings correctly. This means that if you start from that disk and follow the instructions on the screen, everything will be removed.

  In addition, the recovery disk doesn t create a recovery partition. It is not available. Disk copy just the files on the second partition in folder HDDrecovery to start an installation of HARD drive recovery.

• Question about partitions on Equium A100-027

  Hi all!

  I'm new to the forum but have been hidden for a while and he thought at the time that I said "Hello".

  This and the fact that I have a question about my laptop Satellite A100-027.
  The hard drive on my laptop seems to be divided into three partitions = Vista (c) / data (E :) / WinRE (d) with the WinRE (D :) is quite small but others, quite large.))

  My C drive is up to 3 that GB free with about 35 GB of free data (E :) is possible to merge these two to give me a big drive? And if so, how?
  Please excuse my ignorance, but it seems impossible to me to "get my head around" this thing hard drive and would split the a large hard drive.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated and once again, Hello to all.

  Hello

  As the user previous already said, you can manage HARD drive partitions in disk management settings.

  If you n t want to have a data partition (e) then you can try to delete it in disk management.
  Then you can add this empty space of the HARD drive for other partitions on the HARD drive.

  But note; the empty space will be placed at the end of the HARD drive. I don't know if your C partition is placed as a second HARD drive partition, but if so, then it should be no problem to add empty space to partition C (System) of m.

• Re: Several questions about the recovery of the Satellite L750 features

  I have several questions about the recovery of Satellite L750 features available to it. Any help and answers would be useful.

  (1) when I started the laptop first, he asked me to create a recovery CD incase I need to reinstall the operating system. But he also said that he built in the recovery partition, so therefore, I have to make a recovery cd or not?

  (2) will be the recovery CD is exactly the same as the recovery on the system partition?

  (3) is the partion of CD or recovery includes all the integrated software pre-installed with the laptop?

  (4) also in the device manage management it shows watch partion recovery but it is empty, is it true?

  (5) in the second partition (drive D) system, he has a record with what looks like the recovery of files and folders. Is it safe to move/remove it?

  Hello

  I'll try to provide answers:
  1 - to ensure that everything works perfectly you don t need these discs, but if something goes wrong with the HARD drive you will not be able to do anything. When you have the recovery DVDs, you will still be able to install the recovery image and once again the factory settings. So my advice to you is: create these discs as soon as possible. Use only on DVD-R media and buy products of high quality (TDK or Verbatim).
  2 - Yes.
  3 - Yes.
  4 - No. Don t be confused with this.
  5. in a first time create restore DVD, and later you can do what you want. I put t know which files mean you but don t touch anything before that of the recovery disks to be created.

  In the past, many people have been experimenting with the structure of HARD drive and partitions and later was surprised when installing disk recovery HARD has been damaged. Don t make the same mistake.

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.
