Re: Problems with the hard drive on a Satellite A200

Hello

I got my Satellite A200 (PSAE6E) for many years, and although I was interested for her order to to finally make the hard drive gives its first signs of failure. The symptoms started coming a few months ago. The disc will stop working, the system hangs, and I begin to hear a clicking sound from the disc. I'm afraid that one day it will stop working completely, and I can't afford without a laptop.

I would replace it for a new hard drive, or one that is in good condition, but I'm having a hard time finding information on hard drives compatible with this model. Could someone help me with this?

Thank you

What you can do is to remove the original HARD drive and order the same.
What you really need, it's SATA HDD and you can get it in every electronic or PC Magazine. I assume the original HARD drive was about 200 GB. What you can do now is to buy a new one with more capacity.

Either way, what operating system are you using? I mean Win7 works perfectly on this old piece of hardware.

    my hard drive is 500 GB, but my hard drives are less than 100 GB

  • 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.

  • Problem with connector hard drive to spring on T43 motherboard

    My T43 (type 1875) cannot operator unless I am pressing on toward the down on the palm rest above the spring certainly drive connector.  This connector seems to be designed to move upwards & downwards on two positions.  44 pin hard drive seem to connect indirectly to the motherboard via 44 springs in this assembly.  This Assembly should be compressed manually for the system to communicate with the hard drive.

    I do not understand the physical design of this connection?  I certainly do not understand the purpose of this complicated mechanism.  It is part of the protection of the hard drive?

    To correct the problem, I see two possible solutions;  either compress the springs, then bend the stems of alignment to maintain the State of compression, which makes electrical connections or replace the motherboard.

    If someone put me on how I could fix this?

    The system works when you press the right ALT just below and to the right of the trackpad?

    If you took the palm rest off the power, then press the plug of the battery, it restores the operating system?

    If so, you may be lucky that the Council itself cannot be cracked but it could be the connectors of taking battery BIOS on the Board and in this regard a $3 repair. Cut the connector and replace with a new one or cut and reweld to ensure that the circuit is solid.

    Hello

    Try to update your display manually driver and do not use the analysis of the drivers on the manufacturer's website either.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
    each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
    version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
    video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
    cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
    own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
    (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
    updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
    because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
    pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
    This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
    questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones

  • my computer asks me to fix a problem with the graphics driver intel but windows tells me solution can not be downloaded

    computer crashed and rebooted itself. I first started in safe mode, and the computer did not find any problems but had sent a report anyway.

    To restart normally, the center of the action (or as I would say, Center!; - p), has been asking me to scan with windows defender and a problem with the graphic driver intel. Scanned well, but to solve the problem, said action solution Center could not be downloaded. I am most definitely connected to the internet and have tried to solve this question many times during approximately the last 18hours?
    Help would be much appreciated?

    Good suggestion but I tried this, had to go the manufacturer of the laptop, but still no luck. Think he was playing tricks on me in any case, as seemed to be resolved with a full audit of the system and diagnosis.

    Thanks for the effort though...

  • How to partition the hard drive in my satellite M40X-189?

    Please can you advise the team?
    I would like to have the operating system and application programs in a partition and the data I've created in another partition.
    Please can I have advice from the team?
    Has anyone partitioned the hard drive on their satellite M40X-189 and what software did you use to do the partitioning?
    Also, I just defragged my hard drive and the card reader can be seen at: http://www.seniorvalues.org/drive%20map.jpg
    I am curious about the above provision given that free space if 52%, but white space does not reflect this and there is a piece of defragmented files and folders around the middle of the big whitespace at the end of the training I was expecting to be adjacent to the last great defragmented file.

    Hello

    I use partition magic to create and manage new partitions. In my opinion it of the best tool if you want to work with partitions.
    I have 2 partitions on my unit. C for OS and D for the 3rd of data and files. In this case if I recover my unit only the first C partition will be formatted.

    Good bye

  • Problem with external hard drive (an unexpected error - 50)

    I've had this problem for a few months now. Sometimes, I can't delete a file from my external hard drive, or export a file to it. The process is impossible, and I get a message "Cannot perform the action due to an unexpected error - 50". Ejecting the disc gives the message "eject impossible because another program can use it." Ejection force becomes the only option. After re-login, the problem goes away, like nothing ever happened.

    The question is not constant, but quite common to become a nuisance, the one I want stopped.

    That's what I think it is (a bad connection with the cable, defective contact), or is this a virus? I need to know.

    The hard drive is 1 TB Toshiba Canvio Basics and is formatted as Mac OS extended (Journalized).

    not a virus, and not only because there is no virus mac at this time.

    negative errors on the discs can be a signal indicating that the file is corrupted or worse still, the drive is failing. While it can also be a problem with the cable or the connector that it commonly goes back on the disc itself.

    Currently, it is recommended that you backup your data if a backup fails, you may need to save what you can manually and sometimes that means go to this folder by folder or file by file

    Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support

    All HARD drives (and SSD') eventually fail and while this isn't a your statement you should check the drive with disk utility (Macintosh HD/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility) after you got what you possibly can off and consider replacing the disk with a new one.

    Hi all!

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

    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.
