Re: Disk failure hard on my Satellite A305-S6905 1 year

My hard drive is defective on my laptop [a Satellite A305-S6905] so it was a year old Feb 11' th not guaranteed, now I have to pay someone to put in a new HD, will pay for HD and pay to put a new OS in there because they do not come with operating system disks more, a good I had already bought a Windows 7 disc , but wait... I can't use it, it is an upgrade, so now what am I going to do?

Hello

I agree with the user above. Replacing the HARD drive is easy and can be done in a few minutes. On the underside, remove the cover of the HARD drive which is fixed by screws, and then you can exchange the HARD drive.

Reinstalling Windows, to the disk recovery Toshiba or a disk of Microsoft. All drivers and tools can be downloaded from the Toshiba site.

  • Satellite A305-S6905 and Web Cam questions

    I apologize if there's another thread for this particular model and the question, I'm just extremely frustrated and after hundreds of searches through google, toshiba and chicony, I can't find a solution. My laptop {Toshiba Satellite A305-S6905} was originally Vista when buying. My uncle put upgraded to Windows 7 and in addition to the fact that he constantly tells me that "this copy of Windows is not genuine", my web cam suddenly stopped working. It worked fine on Vista.

    I uninstalled camera Assistance and reinstalled more than 8 times. I * think * I reinstalled the driver, but whenever I open (or try to open) helps the camera, I get the message: "Webcam is disabled or has failed." Please check your webcam settings '. I opened the Device Manager, but the Chicony webcam is not listed. Nothing about the webcam is listed. I restarted my laptop... believe me, I almost tried everything. I noticed that a lot of upgraders from Vista to Windows 7 have the same problem. Last resort, I decided to come on the website of the manufacturer of my laptop. I would appreciate help.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    If there is no entry in the Device Manager, it's quite strange. If the device works properly it is listed under imaging devices like Chicony camera.
    Somehow, it seems that there is no link between the cam and the motherboard.

    All you can do now is to test the functionality with the settings and see if the problem persists.
    If the situation will be the same, you should contact the closest service and leave technician to check the cam feature.

  • Deactivation of the multimedia keys on Satellite A305-S6905

    I'm hoping to find a way to disable multimedia keys (touch keys at the top) on your laptop Satellite A305-S6905.

    The problem is that I teach computer for the visually impaired (blind) skills. I have a student who has this laptop, and we had a continuous problem she can't feel the keys and is accidentally pressed the mute button, turn off the sound when it turns on or off the laptop. His must be on so that its capable of reading software screen can read the screen to it. No noise, it cannot use the laptop.

    But also with the sound off it cannot go to the desktop and turn on the sound because she can't hear where he is. Because the touch buttons are flush with the Board of Directors, she cannot feel that key is to turn the sound back on. We have tried to place a marker press the mute, but under much and would not allow the button to work.

    So, anyone got a way to turn them off?

    Thank you

    Hi guys, I was wandering in the forums for a few hours, now looking for ana response to this question, and can't find anything clear. I have a XPS 8100 that I run a diagnostic and received a 2000-0142 error code that says MSG: error code 2000-0142 hard drive FAILURE 0 self-test status: 79 based on what I read in the forum is that there is a disk failure, and the only recourse is to solve the problem in my view is to replace the drive. Firstly, can someone please give me an absolute confirmation that it is indeed what I have to do, or is there something else I should do to fix this problem first? If a replacement drive is there someone could please tell me how can I do to get my OEM software off the coast of the partition recovery and on my new drive. I now office preinstalled and, of course, premium Windows 7 I would like to see on my new hard drive and I was not provided with one of the disks at the time of purchase. Thanks in advance to all those who respond

    Hi XPS8100kid,

    Welcome to the Dell Community Forum.

    The 200-0142 error is for hard drive failure and you need to replace the hard drive.

    Since the hard drive has not, you would not be able to access the partition recovery on it. Data would be lost and the software already installed on your computer will need to be reinstalled.

    Windows 7 will need to be installed on the new hard drive. Please click the link below to get the procedure of re - install Windows 7.

  • I want to install Win XP on Satellite A305-S6905

    Hello.

    I want to downgrade my Vista to XP because of problems and slow down my PC...
    For example I can't download updates antivirus, games etc...

    I read in the forum that I need some kind of sata drivers and those I can do myself, but someone can help me with other drivers because I use this laptop for an hour and I know not what drivers there need.

    If someone could give me links to the necessary software, I would be very grateful.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I think that you couldn't find the right drivers XP because you didn t find on the right-hand page.
    Like you probably n t know that this series of laptop (Satellite A305) belongs to Toshiba from US and you have to find good drivers on Toshiba U.S. page!
    http://www.toshibadirect.com/TD/B2C/home.to

    In addition, if you want to install Win XP on laptop thin, you will need to install the SATA drivers first.
    The SATA drivers are on Intel Storage Manager part which can be downloaded from the Intel and Toshiba page page as well.

    But if you don t want to install SATA drivers, there is another possibility to install the XP.
    Just access the BIOS and set the compatible SATA to AHCI mode.

    That s it.

  • Disk failure hard satellite L650-12N - replaced with SSD - how to recover?

    My HARD drive has failed, so I bought a 256 GB SSD Crucial CT256MX100SSD1. I installed it in the laptop and went to use the recovery CD. It's the bit score correctly as far as I can tell, but to cut a long story short, I think that the recovery disk is missing a few vital pieces of information (read below - I may be wrong).

    So, how do for Satellite L650-12N new recovery discs?

    Thank you
    RQ

    After the partition, it then says "copy files of database recovery.
    some random jargon

    Then he said: «unpack the OS and system/WinRE»
    Set of RECO...
    It says "copy F:\ZZImg\11353XSP.swm to V:\HDDRecovery\SWImg 1/10
    1 file (s) copied.
    Copy of the CRC files
    1 file (s) copied.
    Copy F:\ZZImg\11353XSP2.swm to V:\HDDRecovery\SWImg 2/10
    1 file (s) copied.
    Copy of F:\ZZImg\11353XSP3.swm to V:\HDDRecovery\SWImg 3/10
    1 file (s) copied.
    Copy of F:\ZZImg\11353XSP4.swm to V:\HDDRecovery\SWImg 4/10
    1 file (s) copied.
    Copy of F:\ZZImg\11353XSP5.swm V:\HDDRecovery\SWImg 5/10
    1 file (s) copied. »

    at this stage it says ' insert the next recovery media (containing the F:\ZZImg\11353XSP6.swm file)!
    but the backup I did only has one drive.

    Hmm, for me, it seems that some image packages are missing.
    According to your message, the recovery image must contain 10 packs, but the first recovery disc provides only 5 packages.
    Should be so 2nd drive providing other packages to complete the recovery procedure.

    I m wondering if you already used the recovery disc (CD) in the past.
    Are you sure that this recovery disc has been done correctly 100%?

    From my point of few recovery disk is defective and to recover the laptop, you need a good way to return to work.

  • Disk replacement HARD & BIOS question - Satellite A60

    Hi guys

    I have a Satellite A60-672 and his original 40 GB drive is dead. I got a Seagate 80 GB HDD as a replacement, but after it is inserted, it does not show in the BIOS. I did some searching on Google but not really came up with a large part. Is it possible that the BIOS does not recognize the new drive due to the larger size?

    I looked in the BIOS upgrade (currently version 1.50) and found an update to 1.90. After reading the upgrade of BIOS FAQ (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?z=234&service=EU&from=faq_selection&CFID=B IOS & FID = TRO0000000b07) I have saw apparently need a floppy drive that laptop did not. Can I use a CD - R in the place or what I need to get a USB floppy drive now?

    Thanks for any help.

    > Is it possible that the BIOS does not recognize the new HARD drive because of the larger drive?

    Yes, it is quite possible and especially a reason why the large capacity HARD disk cannot be used.

    It seems that the update of the BIOS on the Satellite A60 can be done only with the USB FDD.
    But why you want to update the BIOS?
    I don t think that the update will change something
    It seems that the 80 GB are not possible.

    Hello

    HARD drive problems do not portable but depend on the use of HARD drive and use of portable.
    The HARD drive is a wearing part. Sooner or later every HARD drive was going to die.

    This problem can occur because the HARD drive is affected by shocks while moving the laptop. In addition, there a lot of different hard drives on the market. Some are less expensive because of the low quality and some HDD cost more because of good quality.

    If you keep the eyes on the quality of the HARD drive.
    But to be honest, I would never buy a laptop HARD drive. I replaced my HARD drive with an SSD. Its much faster and more sustainable as a HARD drive
