• Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE4E) failure hard disk

  Hello

  My computer is Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE4E) purchased Oct 2007, running Vista 32 bit. He was always a bit skittish and prone to crashing. The first time I ever did a Windows Update it projected blue, so I restored and never updated since.

  The other day it started to emit beeps during startup, and while I could then get into, I think that the hard drive has failed, because now it runs very slow and crashes.

  Think the forum that this laptop could never be made to be stable and reliable?

  The hard drive is hard to change? I do it myself.

  There the drive hard replacement somewhere online instructions?

  Should what model of hard drive I install?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Replacing the HARD drive is not difficult.
  HARD drive Bay must be placed at the bottom of the unit.
  You should see the drive Bay HARD fixed with a screw cover.
  Remove the screws and you will see the HARD drive

  To remove the HARD drive, remove the connectors

  But note; Be always careful and don't use force!

• Satellite Pro C850-10U - corrupted hard disk drive

  When turned on, it goes to windows recovery screen, then to Startup Repair screen which concludes that "Windows cannot repair this computer automatically. In the details of the problem menu drop down problem Signature 07 is "corrupted Volume. I removed the hard drive and run a diskcheck on it and found four occurrences of a bad block.

  I intend to get a new HD to replace this drive and I got all the data I had on the disk. Unfortunately, I don't have any support recovery. I understand that I can buy a Toshiba recovery media. I want to be sure that, before you start this expense, my proposal is logical. Is there anything else I need to know?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  At first, I must say that you need to update your laptop with SSD and HDD not. This will increase the performance of your laptop. SSD isn't more expensive so I think it's the best option for you.

  Recovery media: If you do not have original recovery media for your machine you can order on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  I hope I could help you. If you have any other questions do not hesitate to ask.

• Help to find the driver on the Satellite A200 (PSAE6) HARD disk controller

  Greetings. This text has been written through a translation program, to try to understand :)

  Problem:
  My friend bought a few days back to herself TOSHIBA Satellite A200 (PSAE6) where it has been established operating system Windows Vista Home. He asked me to change OS on Windows XP Pro. With the first problem I have consulted - have deleted Vista, but to set up XP is not possible due to the absence of the HARD disk controller driver in the OS distribution kit. Windows Installer cannot find the HARD drive. I read that it is necessary to load the driver during Setup, press the F6 key. But a problem I can't find the driver in that.

  We have no disk with drivers that should go with a computer and therefore it is necessary to search independently on the Internet. On the Toshiba site to locate the pilot, it was not possible. Then I came to the Intel site and download "RAID/AHCI - Intel® Matrix Storage Manager» After unpacking I got only «infinst_autol.exe» archive

  Question:
  Where can I download this driver (not a "EXE" format) that can be used during the installation of Windows XP?
  PS: a chipset - Intel PM965 Express

  Thank you

• Satellite L50-A-19N - HARD disk controller is not compatible SATA 3

  Hello.

  I have a model of L50-a-19n satellite.
  The hard drive it is HGST Travelstar 5 K 1000 750 GB, SATA 6 Gbps (HTS541075A9E680/0J22412).

  On Web site of the manufacturer and as Aida64 diagnostic software the hard drive is named SATA-III 600 MB/s.

  But when I run the Crystaldiskinfo software or simillar, it is said that the taken and current transfer mode supported SATA/300.
  Why is it like that?

  Is this some sort of software limmitation?
  In the Bios, I turned on the performance mode.

  HARD drive supports SATA 6 Gbit/s, but the portable controller is probably limited to SATA II (3 Gb/s)

  If the HARD disk controller does not support SATA III, HARD drive performance will be limited.

• A Toshiba Satellite L300-01:00 - Sata 2 or 3 HARD disk controller?

  Hello

  I notebokk Toshiba Satellite L300-01:00

  My HD is broken and I would like to replace this HD SSD.
  This phone supports 2 SATA or SATA 3.

  Thanks in advance for your support.

  If you are the owner of the Satellite L300-01:00 should not be a big problem to get details and information about devices built in the notebook.

  I recommend you to install one of the two material great diagnostic tools which are:
  Everest Home Edition
  Sandra Sisoft.
  These two tools were recommended by the members of different communities and I love it too.

  These tools provide a lot of information on the material and I guess you get also information about the properties of HARD disk controller.

• MacBook pro cannot detect ANY hard disk

  Greetings,

  I have a 13 macbook pro (mid-2012 a1278) inches and when he start shows the folder with the question mark. I think that bad hard drive, so I get a new drive, drop it in and then try to start a recovery from the internet.

  After connecting to the internet and download the recovery image, I load disk utility, and he does not see the new hard drive. Am I a bad disc, I wonder?

  So I drop the old drive in a hard disk enclosure and connect to an another macbook, and that is, I can see all the files. I put the new drive in the caddy and it can detect and partition/format the new drive.

  Thus, the macbook can not see any hard drive.

  This seems to be functional in the case, as I can load the internet recovery image and exploit all the basic functions (Restore disk, time machine, access to the network, keyboard and mouse, etc.)

  It will not just to see the hard drive.

  I've never had a hard disk controller macbook to go ahead without him taking the rest of the macbook with her. Am I missing something?

  Your MBP may very well have a bad hard drive cable.

  I've updated last week. After trying to export a video of LR it said I didn't have enough space (new Mac Book Pro since Oct 2015) hard disk I needed to release 20 mg of space, when I clicked ok all my files in LR 2016 disappeared. My images for 2015 are there, the few that I had, but these changes have also disappeared.  I just finished editing a wedding so 625 edits is GONE! Anyone know what happened? Are they in some file somewhere?

• Satellite P200 - need a new hard drive controller

  I think I need a new hard drive for my p200 controller there is no disk in the bios, I replaced the hard drive and still nothing can buy you a hard drive controller or you have to replace the motherboard?

  Hello

  You can not replace the HARD disk controller.
  The HARD disk controller is part of the motherboard and if it works badly then you would to replace the whole motherboard.

  But are you sure you bought a good HDD?
  Where the HARD drive is not visible; in the BIOS or operating system?

• How do you know if the hard disk controller is damaged or it does not work?

  Hello

  I would like to know how you can know if the hard disk controller is defect.  is there some tools for it or a way to test it.

  I have thouthg my self for a solution like this;

  -If I take the hard drive that is not working out pc and attach it to the speaker and the speaker set on a PC then I wil first hear the rotation of your drive hard so that when the PC wil recognizes the external hard drive as a hard disk and then the controller is OK, otherwise it means that the controller is damaged.

  . I know mechanical problems with a hard disk, they do some sounds when they turn.

  is the way I think it is the right way to know or there is much better way to find out if there is a problem with the hard disk controller.

  Thank you

  Johan

  Small circuit board is an interface for cables that sorts what is happening in the place where. It holds the drive buffer and it tells the computer what it is, i.e. drive, speed, brand, model, size etc.

  If you get an error of hard disk controller, it's a motherboard problem and there is no way to fix it.

  Hard drives fail for two reasons...

  1. The platters inside are deteriorating to the point where they are no more able to maintain the structure of the sector/cluster.
  2. The spindle motor breaks down.

  The part of a disk hard less likely to fail is the interface card, unless he is accidentally cut on the computer case or other metallic surface. If this short, you will know that the smoke resulting hard disk is acrid beggars belief. It is almost the only case where the interface will fail.

  Even when a hard drive is subjected to temperatures beyond its limits, the spindle motor bearings will fail way before anything else, that's why the vast majority of the disk hard total fails is obvious because there is no vibration of the engine.

  If a hard drive starts to cause problems, it is best to replace it because it will always get worse over time...

• Satellite Pro C660-1LR - new HARD drive but no recovery disk

  I need help for my son who is the Satellite Pro C660 1LR laptop.

  In this portable hard drive is completely dead, I have not created a disk of recovery for this system of portable computers.
  I bought a new hard drive that is installed... However, as you guessed it I have no access to reinstall an OS, this laptop works on windows 7.

  I'm not really tech savvy so if someone can advise me please do explain to the fool proof format! I try to avoid having to buy something expensive.

  > I'm trying to avoid having to buy something expensive.
  Problem is that you don't have many options in this regard.
  If you want to have the factory again settings you must install recovery disc. You can order on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx of course is not free, but, in my opinion, without a doubt the best solution.

  You can buy the Microsoft installation disc and install the clean version. You must purchase a valid license for it.
  In this case, you must install all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities for more than one by one.

  Just in case you can get this installation of Microsoft and the free license you can save money.

  Believe me, the best solution is the original recovery disk command.

• Satellite Pro A210 - recover the HARD internal disk

  Happy new year guys – love the active forum community!

  My Satellite Pro A210 dead spectacular a few months back and being out of warranty, I did my best to fix it - diagnosis I think has a faulty motherboard (No bios loading, no start-up through external boot disks/drives) and if I do regular backups, there are always a few files that get missed so connected the HARD drive to another PC to find the HARD drive died in that it is not even turn.

  Is it possible, even bother to try to change the circuit printed out the HARD drive, like-for-like, or is the circuit "listens" on the disc (even if it could lead to another Board blown) or what are my options to get the HARD drive looked at and repaired, at what price?

  Sorry if this is a stupid question

  Hi bearoon,

  This means you want to replace the Control Board on the underside of the HARD drive itself?

  Well, theoretically it of possible, but note: you can only replace it with a Board of 100% same HARD drive. If you use it from another HARD disk you can destroy the HARD drive and everything on it always makes not readable so it s sensitive technique.
  So before of you exchange it make sure that the model numbers of the two HARD drives are 100% identical.

  I've never done this on 2.5 portable hard drives but a few years ago I did it on my drive HARD 3.5 from desktop and it worked and so I was able to recover my data. The reason was that t wasn't HDD spinning up more (totally dead) and the problem was the faulty Control Board.

• Satellite Pro A300-1OP - Missing FEPs disk partition E:\

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300-1OP with Windows Vista.

  The hard disk is partitioned into C:\ and E:\, each about 75 GB with a hidden options of system recovery partition. E: / shows that about 5MB, left free while C:\ shows 28GB. However, the list of files/folders to E: / shows a total of about only 10 GB. I put the hidden files & folders to be displayed in the Control Panel/appearance but no more are listed to explain the "disappeared" 65GB. I also have a warning window telling me to free up space in E:\ drive to appear.

  What is the problem and how to fix it? I run Disk Cleanup, but get more no free space.

  I am quite often here on this forum and I always wonder what kind of problems people have with their laptops.
  If you created the recovery DVDs move all the files to the C partition and start the computer management > disk management. Deleting a volume E second partition). After having this recreate and do the full format.

  It will be interesting to know if the partition will display correctly after that. If so, move all the data back and hope that everything will be OK again.
  Please note: after doing this, it may happen that you will not be able to create recovery DVD or use HARD drive recovery facility then please do this if you created DVDs.

• Satellite Pro L40 - Vista display lack of virtual memory message

  Hello

  new here on this forum, hope someone can help,

  I have a series of satellite Pro L40, I'm trying to free up memory space I get the prompt "virtual memory is low", Vista (c) shows 3.28 GB free of 37.2 GB & data (E :) shows 100% free, I just replced both modules of memory with x 2 1 GB 200 pin Sodimm memory upgrades but Vista is still to display only 3.28 GB of free space) , any idea?

  Your very confused!, Mike.

  Hi Mike,.

  I think you mixed a lot of The RAM (Random Access Memory) has * nothing * to do with disk space von Vista (c).
  Vista with low disk space partition is stored on the HARD disk and the second partition (E :) as well.
  RAM and HARD drive are completely different. All your data/files are stored on the HARD drive because the RAM is no place to save the data.

  In any case, I think you need to move some files from partition C: to E: partition like photos, music, etc. Then, you can get rid of this error message.

  I think that this document could be useful for you:
