Reformat a HD 500 GB warranty

Given that the HD is unusable on Windows 7 (driver issue)
Is it possible to simply format the HD and use it as a regular external hard drive?
No experience?

What model of HARD drive you have exactly?

I have several HDD external and each of them I use as disk HARD ordinary for the data upwards.
I don't know why you think that this 500 GB HARD drive should be something different than other external hard drives.

  • Using identical laptop recovery for mine reformatting disks

    I'll try and keep this base. I bought a L855-149, but shortly after, he started getting blue screens. I rang Toshiba, who told me to do the recovery discs in case they had to send me a new hard drive, so I made these discs. However, at the end of the day, the shop I bought the laptop just replaced the computer with a new model even a - and probably the same strain that all this has happened in a few weeks.

    Replacement laptop has worked without any problems at all, but a few days ago he has been infected with malicious software, a browser redirection virus which I set and a few other similar files apparent that I seems especially clearing around through several different malware scanners and running antivirus scans. All works well, but I'm uncomfortable and knows that there is always some associated files dragged somewhere that I didn't, so I want to just reformat the entire system, so I can be so certain that it is possible that my info is safe.

    My problem is I very stupidly forgot to make the new recovery disc for the new laptop when I got it. So I can use the original L855-149 recovery disks, and if I can, what makes the blue screens on this transfer through my current Satellite disks could?

    Or would I be better to simply make my current Satellite recovery disks and hope that the malware has not disappeared near the recovery partition?

    Also, am I correct that reformatting does not void your warranty?

    Thanks in advance.

    > Or would I be better to simply make my current Satellite recovery disks and hope that the malware has not disappeared near the recovery partition?
    Something like this will not happen. Create recovery disks or install the recovery image using disk HARD recovery option. more info on what you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2A03ES0000R01.htm or in manuals s user document.

    > Also, am I correct that reformatting does not void your warranty?
    Yes, you are. You can install recovery so often desired image.

  • Qosmio X 500-warranty with new HARD drive?

    I purchased a Qosmio X 500 last month (warranty: 1 year)

    If I change my hard disk and install my own Windows 7 on it, I lost my Toshiba 1 year warranty?

    Thank you!

    Hey,.

    Don t be to worry about this! You will not lose warranty if swap you the HARD drive and install another operating system. These easy updates as HARD or RAM drive poses no problem, but don t disassemble the whole laptop.

    By the way: If burn you the Toshiba Recovery disk, you can install the Windows 7 preinstalled on the new HARD drive too :)

  • Re: Qosmio X 500 - 116 maximum 3 years warranty Extension

    My 3 years warranty toshiba comes to an end in March of this year (I had extended from 1 to 3 years).

    I called toshiba today to see if I could buy an another 1 or 2 years, but he said 'Sorry' but no. It seems that 3 years is the maximum that they will go. I was a little disappointed, but the half he expected because of the age of the laptop.

    Overall, my X 500-116 has played very well in the last 3 years and I had no major problems.

    Guess I'll have to fingers and hope everything continues to work very well.

    Although "Swords clods right" will probably happen and a serious and expensive problem going on as soon as the warranty expires.

    > Although "Swords clods right" will probably happen and a serious and expensive problem going on as soon as the warranty expires.

    So keep your fingers crossed that it will not happen, and as you know... nobody knows what will happen in the future ;)

  • Qosmio X 500-point red on the screen covered by the warranty?

    I'm from Europe, from Portugal to be thorough and I bougth this Qosmio X 500 - 13V in 14/02/2011. It is in warranty, of course. But now, I've noticed there is a red dot in the center of the screen. What should I do? The warranty covers computer? I don't want to have a pc with a dot, although tiny, on the screen. :(

    Help someone.

    Thank you

    Hi Marco_3,

    I guess this dot what you want to say it's a pixel dead, right?

    Well, there are a lot of discussions in the forum how to manage the dead pixels and I recommend checking out some official Toshiba items I found on the page European:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB5400ZD0002R01.htm

  • Qosmio X 500-fault of screen not covered by the warranty?

    So as said elsewhere the X 500 series has a certain design/manufacturing fault that allows a "shadow" be visible on the entire length of the screen at the height of the taskbar (so don't not visible in windows, but jobs is full screen, like movies, just terrible).

    The attitude of Toshiba is that it is a "limitation of the technology" and not covered by the warranty (which I think is very poor on their part).

    My query is why?

    Given their other 18.4 "models (P500 for example) doesn't seem to have this obvious anomaly, and nor other brands models 18". If it was a limitation of the technology like Toshiba said so surely other models/brands that X 500 would have this anomaly?

    Personally, I think the excuse of "limitation of technology" is just a COP on part Toshibas who do not want to solve the problem on EACH item, I'm sure that the next model (x 600? whatever) will miraculously not the issue and those of us who have decided on Toshiba will continue to say "too bad".

    I searched the net looking for x 500 no descriptions of this "limitation" as we should expect a "limitation of technology" to be as widely reported as their other favorite, the dead pixel but found nothing. It seems this limitation of effects incredibly alone technology Toshiba X 500? Toshiba must think we're gullible.

    My fault however maybe done research, can any that shed light on why only the X 500 has such a terrible mistake and no other models?

    I don't know if this is the right place for these issues.
    It is user forum and I do not think that any of us has access to s secrets Toshiba ;) to see what type of screens are used on the Qosmio X 500.

    I don't know if Qosmio x 500 has new generation screens, but I don't know that Toshiba uses better technology for this model of laptop high-end.
    In the past all Qosmio notebooks are best of the best in all aspects, materials, software and many other software programs.

    Just, I hope not, I am sure, that Toshiba will continue this philosophy for Qosmio range and seems best proof new Qosmio F60.
    I like it a lot but leys see how much it will cost.

  • Pavillion 500-326na: Office purchased without warranty has already expired

    Hi all

    I bought your desktop HP Pavilion 500-326na six months ago and recently received a notice telling me that the warranty on my pc had expired the year before I bought it. When I bought the pc, it was said that the product carries a one year manufacturer warranty. What are the options that are available to me?

    Kind regards.

    Hello:

    Contact HP for the country where you live.

    http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/contact-HP/WW-contact-us.html

    The customer service representative should send you an email with a link to download a copy of your receipt of sale/invoice showing the date of purchase of your PC and they will adjust the period of guarantee accordingly.

    I had to do the same in February when I bought my new HP laptop.  The guarantee applies for one year, but it showed that expires this month instead of next February.

    I think it took them a few days to make corrections.

  • Pavilion 500 - 200 t: about the location of the hardware driver under warranty?

    My office went out of warranty and when I go to find drivers and updates the HP site won't take me to where I can find downloads and install? Matter of fact, it does not appear that they will do anything, unless I am under warranty. At least Dell will allow you to download and update. I don't think it's important, but I went from 8 GB to 16 GB of memory (which has maxed out on this desktop) that I would need the drivers or updates? This p/c is around 2 years and think that some drivers/updates to update is available?

    deerpark243

    Since you already provided the link to HP Win8x for your PC drivers, if you have problems with any specific driver, you might be able to replace it with a HP driver by installing this driver in compatibility mode: http://www.windows10forums.com/articles/compatibility-mode.7/

  • HP Pavilion 500-311no: the hp Pavilion 500-311no upgrade

    Hp Pavilion 500-311no desktop PC, I bought a few years ago and now I feel like I would get some more power out of it then is it possible to upgrade this computer. I use mostly this pc for a game so what I'm looking to upgrade is the gpu. It seems that the motherboard supports the latest grphics cards and I think they should also fit the case. Incase of replacement parts, the power supply needs to be replaced probably as well. Also overclocking motherboard support and how the overclocking and replacement parts affect warranty?

    Greetings,

    You have some positives on your side:

    PCIe available x 16 slot 3.0.

    UEFI BIOS.

    Your chassis will limit the duration of the update of the graphics card.

    You have only a 300 Watt power supply.

    Most of the HP motherboards cannot be overclocked. I have a processor Intel 4820 K. HP offers limited overclocking abilities with this processor.

    Check the measurements on the existing power supply.  A diet of 600 runs most new graphics cards high-end. NVIDIA cards tend to require less energy than equivalent AMD cards.

    Check the height of the rear panel input/output where the x 16 slot is to determine the maximum length of a new card.

    Shop for a new card graphics and power supply when you know your limits. The high-end cards are usually double slot. Make sure you have room to install a card double slot. You need to be able to burst a second plate of input/output rear panel to install a dual slot graphics card.

    Modular power supplies reduce tangles of cables in the chassis.

    See you soon!

  • What is the best way of reformatting my MacBook ssd for resale?

    I'm preparing my 2015 12 '' MacBook 1.3 GHz 512 for resale.  What is the best way to erase and reformat the SSD drive?

    Thanks in advance!

    -jag

    Before you sell or give away your computer, and more the steps listed in this article to support, please follow these steps:

    1. run the Diagnostics from Apple or the Apple Hardware Test. The buyer will do (or it should), and you won't be surprised by the results.

    2. reset the PRAM and the SMC, which may contain personal information.

    3. If you set a firmware password, remove it by running the utility in recovery mode firmware password.

    4. If you turn on FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.

    5. If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted.

    6. If you have created another partition of data on internal disk, remove them in disk utility.

    7. If the machine has an internal hard drive, erase the remaining data partition with the possibility of putting the data to zero. An SSD has no need to be set to zero.

    8. remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it is still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the warranty to the new owner as described in the terms and Conditions AppleCare (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

    Note also:

    You can legally or transfer almost any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. This includes OS X, so if you've switched to OS X 10.7 or later, you need to reinstall an operating system older, either from the installation media, if any, or by commissioning in recovery mode of the Internet (option-command-R start ringing.)

    The new owner will have to re-download everything software that came on the App Store, as appropriate, including updates of OS X, under her Apple ID. If you never updated applications bundled iLife (iPhoto, iMovie and Garage Band) through the App Store, you can not transfer these either. The buyer must buy them. Note that iPhoto has been suspended and is no longer available for purchase.

You should check with the manufacturer of your computer for an updated BIOS. In some cases, this error may cause the computer to function properly.

    Hi all

    Now, I get an error very very annoying.

    Qosmio X 500-10T is freezing with more frequency with the message above in Event Viewer.

    I reinstalled Windows 7 to factory settings and added all fixes Windows 7 etc with no luck to solve the problem.

    I also installed last BIOS update.

    Any ideas what to do?

    Thank you.

    Hey Buddy,

    I agree with the user above. If you have already reinstalled Windows 7 back to factory settings and installed the update to the newest BIOS, it seems to be a malfunction of the equipment. In this case, you need professional help from an authorized service provider:

  • Could not find Stor.e ALU 2 s 2.5 "(500 GB)

    Hello!
    I took yesterday a 2 s Stor.e Aluminum 2.5 "(500 GB) and put a lot of data on it."
    Today, that my computer does not seem to find the trendy and more HD. Not even in the Device Manager.
    If any suggestions ill take em.

    I have an another question though. I made a backup of a small company that I work for on that HD and they said that they have rather HD destroyed back to the warranty. It is without doubt a lot of sensitive data to this topic. So, this brings me to the question (that I could not answer myself).
    If I bring you in HD for the warranty - how much data will be reviewed by Toshiba or whoever made the repair. There are probably a few final tests.

    Thanks in advance
    Peter

    Hi Peter

    In your situation, I think you need professional advice and a professional help. We can here everything simply discuss and speculate what can be done.
