• Problems with hard drive on my satellite C660

  Hi my name is Lisa and I'm new to the forum, I hope that someone can help you. When I turn on my Toshiba Satellite C660 I get a message saying cannot load files with this information...

  File Boot\BCD

  Status-oxcoooooof

  Info - an error has occurred trying to read the boot configuration data of you.

  When he continues to try to load the next message goes something being changed and said something on the hard drive or the CD-ROM drive I think it was the CD-ROM drive even when...

  I'm going to be able to solve this problem or am I likely to replace the hard drive or something...

  Thanks in advance for any help/support and advice xx xx Lisa

  Did you create the recovery disk?
  If yes try to start and check whether the HARD disk access is possible.

  Before you try this BIOS setting defaults.

• Satellite A500 - 1C0 - Windows has detected a problem with HARD drive

  Nice day
  Laptop shows me that Windows has detected a problem with the HARD drive. The laptop is running slow and chops. And when you turn it, it shows me Smart failure predicted on hard disk 1. Toshiba MK-5055GSX - (S2). Can you help me? (I m, CZ)

  Hi Konyga,

  If you already have a warning on the internal HARD disk before Windows starts I would recommend sharing it and backup all data as quickly as possible.

  Is your laptop still under warranty?
  If Yes, you can get a new HDD to an authorized service provider. It would be free because it s covered by the warranty. All you have to do is contact with an ASP.

• Alternative to the reset by Satellite A660 for potential HARD drive problem

  In the last week or two, I got a few blue screens, saying he was driving demand, and that windows must be shut down to avoid damage my computer.

  I have just restart and continue working.
  The last time it happened, I had repeatedly "initialization failed" and it says hdd, SDS, fdd. If I pressed the power button until I didn't see no signs of activity, then started. Things went well. I called Toshiba support and they recommended that I go home and save my files before continuing. It took hours selectively to clean, sort the previous backups, and a small footprint of the backup system.

  When I called Toshiba once again, they recommended a "takeover", which is restoring the factory settings. It puts me in the stone age. I have to go through a never-ending process of the upgrade to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, install and reconfigure all the applications and environments/configurations, etc. It will essentially take on holiday, if not more. I'll also have to get another computer (maybe a netbook) to stay in touch while I restart my laptop. It's barely more than a year.

  Is there a diagnosis I can do to determine the probability that there is a hard drive problem? Support for Toshiba said that is the surest way, because it provides a diagnostic F10 for the hard disk code, and it also pushes the bad sectors at the end of the disc (logically, I suppose, since you can't physically move a fault).

  > About Hitachi DFT, is it important that my HARD drive is Toshiba mk6465gsx? This is what is displayed "Hard drives" in the Device Manager.

  It s no matter what HARD drive manufacturer, it is the Drive Fitness Test is able to scan all hard drives to find errors.

  > Also, http://www.hitachigst.com/support/downloads/#DFTshows links to create boot disks, but I was wondering if I could create a bootable instead.

  Not sure if this is possible if there is that one option to create a startup disk, and then a flash stick does not work. But of course you can try this out.

  > This laptop does not come with a floppy drive, and I still create coasters trying to burn discs.
  You don't need the floppy drive, the tool must create a disk bootable (CD)

  > I guess that the same question can be asked on Memtest86. Another issue is the relevance of Memtest86 for my system. My c drive has a "Program Files" folder, but also a "Program Files (x 86)" folder for 32-bit applications. Memtest86 is for the x 86 architecture. I don't know if my 64-bit Windows 7 involves a non - x 86 architecture.

  I guess that Memtest86 should also work on Win 7 64 bit systems. But also the MemTest 4.20 is 64-bit capable

• Satellite A660 - protection of HARD drive utility does not enable protection

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 1F6, unfortunately the usefulness of Toshiba HDD protection does not enable protection because all the buttons are gray, and when I try to open it, a message appears: "He was not able to set up properly for the Service of HARD drive Protection System."

  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but the situation does not change.

  Thank you.

  Are you using the original operating system preinstalled that you got with your laptop?

• Problem with hard drive

  Hello world

  I have my laptop Thinkpad Lenovo R60 (R series) during the 2007 year of the College. Last month I had some problem with my hard drive, then I took my laptop to the Lenovo service center. Then they were replaced with new hard drive, after that, I tried to install windows XP on my laptop, then it displays message as hard disk drivers are not installed then where can I get these drivers. If you don't know this topic then tell me who contact. Please tell how to solve this problem.

  Thank you

  If you attempt to load a generic copy of XP pro operating system, then you must change the SATA from BIOS to ACHI mode to compatibility.

• problems with hard drive HP envy m6 - 1222sr

  HP ENVY m6 - 1222sr Notebook PC (Windows 8.1)

  Bought a laptop with windows by default 8. Everything was fine. But after the upgrade to windows 8.1 have a problem with the hard drive. The simplest tasks cause the startup hard disk 100%. The system starts to slow down. It is interesting that there is no difference in the speed of read/write. 0.1 mb/s or 10 + hard drive still mb/s is charged to 100%. After the defragmentation - nothing has changed. I suspect that blame the upgrade to Windows 8.1. How to solve the problem?

  PS Sorry for the bad English.

  Everything was much easier than I thought. At first reinstalled Windows and drivers, but it did not help. The problem disappeared after disabling user account Windows and switching to a local account. After 4 days of torment is a feeling that the laptop is running 10 times faster. I hope that this all ends.

• UCS C22 M3 software RAID LSI problem with hard drive

  Hello

  I post here because I searched many hours for a stupid problem.

  I have a Cisco UCS C22 M3 with soft RAID LSI MagicRAID.
  I have two hard disk of 1 TB.
  I create a RAID array with the type 1 (mirror).

  When I run the installation of VMware ESXi 5.1 U1 I see the RAID array, but the two discs.
  I think that it is a driver problem.
  So, I install special with an iso VMware in the VMware Web site for Cisco server.
  I have test with ESXi 5.0 and 5.1, and 5.1 U1 but it's the same problem.

  I try to remove the RAID array and to install esx on disc one monkey. Installation works well, but in the boot menu, I can't boot from a hard disk. I don't know why I search with UEFI and she is disabled.

  I test with windows 2012, and 2008R2 to check if its working but in install I don't see also hard drive or the RAID array.
  I go to Cisco and download the driver of the 2G for VMware Linux and Windows.
  I try inserting the driver in windows install, but does not.
  I think that the driver for a hardware RAID card and software.

  I have try to disable the LSI RAID in the advanced bios "SouthBridge". After I disabled I don't know how I can do to start on the hard drive.
  When I go to the start menu (F6) I see absolutely nothing in drive.

  I test this on two Cisco server.

  I can't know what I can do now. I take a working installation tomorrow and nothing.

  I join you a photo of the boot sequence LSI.

  Thank you very much.

  Stephane,

  For what I understand, you use the RAID controller integrated, therefore, these drivers will not work you:

  -LSI 92xx

  -LSI 106xE

  -LSI 2008 M

  -INS 3081E-R

  -LSI8708EM2

  -LSI 9201< all="" of="" the="" above="" are="" not="" the="" controller="" you="">

  -CISO 1225 x< this="" is="" for="" the="" vic="">

  -CISCO P81E< this="" is="" for="" the="" 1st="" generation="" of="" vic="" cards,="" so="" definitely="" not="" a="" raid="">

  Pilots are organized into top level by operating system folders, and each folder of OS has a structured series hierarchically who become more specific subfolders so that you can find the exact drivers you need. When you navigate to a folder containing the drivers, it will contain also one or several README files that explains what are these drivers in particular.

  Here is an example of the structure of folder for Windows:

  Windows    ChipSet       vendor          blade-model-number             OS-version-number                All                ia64                Lang (contains language subfolders)                Vista                x64

  You need to look for: /< OS > / storage/Intel/C600 /.< if="" you="" are ="" doing="" the="" installation="" of="" the="" os="" through="" the="" kvm,="" you="" first="" need="" to="" un-mount="" the="" os="" .iso="" image="" to="" mount="" the="" drivers,="" once="" the="" drivers="" are="" done,="" un-mount="" the="" drivers="" and="" mount="" again="" the="" os="" .iso="">

  If it does not, you better open a TAC case that will allow us to put in place an additional troubleshooting Webex meeting.

• Windows problem with hard drive changed from IDE to SATA connection.

  After a full rebuild (new MB, CPU, graphics and RAM) and install the new copy of Windows 7 Home, everything is great, until I try to connect an additional internal HDD. The boot and then crashes to the windows logo. Additional HARD drive is SATA, but it has already been used on an IDE connection.

  The bios recognizes the drive, but obviously, there's some kind of conflict in Windows (I think the reader can contain a backup of the previous generation system).

  System;

  MB ASUS M5A97 R2.0

  CPU AMD FX6

  Gskill 8 GB of RAM.

  Any ideas on how to fix the problem please?

  Thanks, Chris

  Usually means a player has failed/problematic

  You say sata drive but used on a connector IDE does that mean you are using a cable converter, because the type of interface is completely different, or do you just mean the parameter for the connection of the bios?

• Problems with hard drives.

  OK so a little history first: I decided to upgrade my windows 7 32 bit to windows 7 64 bit. I copied my entire C drive and D drive on an external hard drive and put it on the Cd for windows 7 64. In any case, after installation is complete, I checked my computer, but my old hard drive (drive C) was always there and always containing all my old files, but none of them were used. For example I have spotify and steam on that hardrive but I still had to re - install steam and spotify and all my games are not on Steam. So now, I'm a bit confused as this drive my computer uses because when I open the DirectX Diagnostic tool, he claims that my main engine is aticfx64.dlls, aticx64.dlls, aticx64dlls. I have no idea what it is. So I guess my question is how can I reinstall my old readers?

• Problem with hard drive 3 TB and the need to delete the system partition reserved

  I am running Windows 7, 64-bit version.  have another hard disk of 500 GB and I bought a 3 TB hard drive and installed windows 7 on it (3 TB) fine.  But to finish install and found 3 TB hard drive showed only 2 TB of usable disk space.  does a job at home and found that before 2011, the bios of the motherboard can only support HD up to 2 TB, and in order to use all 3 to, I need to convert to GPT disk.  To do this, I need to remove the volume, but since I installed windows 7 more early, he created a score 'system reserved', I can't delete or edit, or format.  All boards to complete this (converted to GPT disk) so I can use all 3 TB of HD?   Now, I re installed windows 7 on my other drive.

  Any advice on how to convert to GPT disk without deleting the system reserved partition?

  Thank you all... Finally figure it out.  Just in case where any who need it going forward... and

  That's what I did

  Step 1.  start by using the windows installation disc 7, press SHIFT + F10 when the language pop up page, use the diskpart... command to remove the system reserved partition. and turn off the computer.

  Step 2.  Open the computer case and unplug the 3 TB hd of the motherboard by unplug the SATA her cable.

  Step 3.  Re-install windows 7, turn off the computer when done

  Step 4.  re - connect the 3 TB - DD and closed the case and power on the computer

  Step 5.  Disk management can use GPT disk.

  A lot of work, but finally did.
