• Satellite L300 - several bad sectors on HARD drive

  Hello

  I'm very angry with my Satellite L300 - 14G. One morning, my computer refuses to boot Vista, each attempt ended with a crash and go back to the choice of startup (with 'repair my computer', 'safe mode' and 'start windows normally').

  I could save my data with a utility disk and try to "HDD Regenerator V1.71", which located a number of bad sectors on the HARD disk. I decided to put my computer as on the first day with the built-in utility.
  Two weeks ago, the same problem.

  I bought another hard drive and replaced it. Reinstalled Vista and my data... 1 month later... still the same problem (currently HDD Regenerator is scanning and find bad sectors 185!)
  I don't think that would be caused by a virus. I use Nod32 and I don't do anything illegal with my machine.

  Some mistakes seem to be generated every day... until the crash of the OS...
  Anyone have ever seen such a problem?
  (I bought in September 2008... no guarantee more for my machine)

  Let's take a look at your problem:

  -hdd went wrong and you are using a third party program to fix
  + Why don't check you with "chkdsk" and read the smart values of the disc? +
  -you bought another hard drive and after a short period of time the same failure occurs
  + was the new hard drive, a big and cheap or a little and a little expensive? +

  We will analyze what happened to your hard disks:
  -recovery written datas sectorwise back in training > bad sector crashed > and an error occurs
  -second hdd also went wrong > if this isn't a sustainable (expensive) hdd, it went bad because of operation > do you often take your laptop with you?

  This brings me to:
  -check the smart get more information
  -chech crc when reading from another source on the hard drive to verify if the hard drive or the controller or your memory gone bad
  -get a 'good' hdd or spend it on tests
  -make a recovery and everything right after a chkdsk to make sure that the file structure is ok before working with

  I never heard of a disk controller brocken on the motherboard of this distributor - but what I know...

• Satellite 2410 won't see the new 250 GB hard drive

  I am trying to upgrade the Toshiba 30 GB hard drive that came with the unit to a Western Digital Scorpio Blue 250 GB EIDE drive.
  I get out the swap the 30 GB to 250 GB put in a bootable XP SP3 CD version and nothing - no sign that power came to training.
  The CDROM is trying to write files on the hard disk, but nothing happens.

  Same thing happens when I try to use the pack of 3 CD of Toshiba or the Norton Ghost recovery CD.
  The computer does not see the drive. Put the old 30 GB drive and it starts right now.

  My BIOS settings show set up for EIDE and boot from the CDROM. What I'm missing?

  Hello

  It seems that the BIOS does not recognize the new HARD drive, I suppose that it s too big
  Satellite 2410 series is old and I guess that it will not support larger 120 GB HARD drive because of the 28-bit LBA s

  So try with the smallest HARD drive like 80 or 100 GB.

• Bad sectors on hard drive

  original title: defective sectors

  Hello. Need some advice on bad sectors. I know they can be generated by hardware or physical or file system problems. CHKDSK will not then correct anticipates a clean install. Been reading upward and many people recommend low level formatting before the format/clean install in order to treat the bad sectors. Or the format during the clean install will be good enough? Thanks in advance.

  If bad sectors are declared this means that the spare sector pool is exhausted, the drive went kaput, and needs to be replaced.  Keep in mind that once the bad sectors begin to appear the problem tends to be like a snowball rolling downhill, sectors start to fail at a growing pace and in an ever-increasing number.  The disc is really shot and can not be relied upon for anything, there is no solution for this problem.

  You can download a diagnostic utility of disc from the drive manufacturer's web site and see this as the utility of reports.

• Aspire V3 - 571 won't boot past POST with installed HARD drive

  I am a PC repair technician and work on computers for almost 20 years and this has me completely confused. My laptop Aspire V3-571-6643 was working fine until just recently. The show the Acer and the system will fit on screen, and then restarts immediately. He'll stay in this loop of reboot until stopped manually.

  I cleaned and reinstall the RAM module and also tried in both slots without change. I was able to access BIOS and determined the readers and all parameters are correct and even reset to the factory settings without change. I then removed the HARD drive used in a docking station to determine if the drive was salvagable. Everything reads well and passed short and long tests through SeaTools. With the disk installed HARD, the system attempts to start on CD/USB, but after his withdrawal the system boots on a CD very well. I then ran a full scan using Eurosoft Pc Check and all is well. I reinstalled the HARD drive and get immediately the loop of reboot again.

  At this point the motherboard and drive the two test very well independently but do not go to work together. My only guess is that the motherboard is no longer providing enough power for all components and crashing when the HARD drive try to launch at startup. Or the SATA controller is defective and only work for the STRANGE. Everyone knows this problem or have ideas of how to solve? My best guess is replaced to the needs of the motherboard, but I'm not sure that I have never seen it before.

  I would check with another HARD disk, if possible, as I agree it is probably most associated MB but... worth a try.

• Satellite C50 won't boot to the top

  Hello

  My son satellite C50 won't boot to the top. It is connected to the power grid and will arrive at the password screen but as soon as you type goes into shutdown. Any suggestions please?

  Thanks in advance.

  You write about Windows or BIOS password?

  In any case, on this virtual path, it is not easy to give an exact explanation what can be wrong there.
  Your son of many important data stored on this machine? If this isn't the case, you should try to reinstall the OS and test it with the factory settings.

  What you can try is to enter the BIOS settings and leave the machine 5 minutes to see if cell phone will go OFF. If this isn't the case, set the BIOS to the default settings and try again.

  Is the cooling fan may be strong at the start of the machine?

• No boot sector on hard drive internal?

  I got a Dell Latitude D610 with XP Professional pre-installed on a few years ago and it worked fine up until last month. I discovered that the hard drive crashed so I bought a new.

  After I installed the new hard drive, when I turn on the computer to reinstall the operating system, I get the error "no boot sector on hard drive internal no bootable devices - strike F1 to retry Reboot, F2 for Setup utility"

  Now, whenever I look in the BIOS, it is said that she read my hard drive. (40 GB HARD DRIVE) I know that the drive is empty and the OS installation disc has service pack 2 on it, but when I put the disc in I get the same error message. The drive, which I am using is a clean CD Windows XP Pro I had earlier.

  I'm guessing that because the HARD drive is perfectly clean, is it not a MBR hard disk. I don't know how to get the disc to run and the diagnosis says that everything else is fine.

  I am a student with a part-time job full time and cannot afford a new laptop or even an operating system for the moment. Could someone help me find a solution to this problem?

  OK, I solved the problem:

  -J' have torn the XP Pro CD Image and stored on this desktop computer.
  -J' mounted the ISO on my flash drive.
  -J' took my laptop HARD drive
  -On my laptop, I set the BIOS to boot from USB
  -I reconnected it the HARD drive while the computer has booted the OS Setup
  -J' reinstalled the operating system of the
  -Download the drivers on the Dell site and put on another flash drive
  -Install the drivers on my laptop

  Now, it works fine. Like everything new again. Daavee and THIS_IS_INSANE, you two are awesome! Thanks for the help. x]

• Cannot start. Don't get the error "no boot sector on hard drive internal.

  Original title: computer does not load.

  After that I turned on my laptop (windows XP) I get a black screen saying "no boot sector on hard drive internal" "no devices bootable-strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for installation; After pressing F1 displays the same screen and if I press F2 Setup screen appears and then I'm lost. Help please!

  Hi Jose_luna47,

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. When was the last time it was working fine?

  Method 1

  I suggest that you perform chkdsk analysis on the computer to check and fix the errors on the hard drive by using the recovery console.

  Chkdsk

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, then you will need to check the settings in the basic input/output system (BIOS) and you need to contact the computer manufacturer for help with basic input/output system (BIOS).

  Important: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

• No boot sector on hard drive

  Hard to buy a new car trying to download windows xp and it came with. No boot sector on hard drive.

  If it's a new hard drive, it will have to be formatted before it can be used.
  Insofar as of the start of the LiveCD I guess 1) you have created the CD help to burn ISO to CD option and 2) that you have selected the option to boot in the BIOS (or the other make the first CD start or start at least temporary) to boot from the CD.

• Satellite Pro P100: How to recover BONES after replacing HARD drive

  Hello

  I bought a satellite Pro P100, and I want to change my hard drive
  I have the CD restored, but I think that this will not work with a new hard drive!
  What can I do to recover my windows?

  Sorry for my englich!

  Thank you

  Hey Phillipe,

  Your recovery CD works on what hard drive install you in your laptop. Are the only factors affecting the hard disk of your choice: -.

  1. compatibility of the BIOS (should not be a problem with the P100 model)
  This model mainly old laptop impact where the BIOS could not recognize larger drives.

  2 form factor
  You should make sure that the disc you choose has the same physical dimensions as your
  existing drive.

  3 speed
  Disks hard more quickly improve access times so check out 5400 and 7200 RPM. (there may be a problem
  with the generation of heat so 5400 RPM is probably better than 7200)

  The are no problem with Windows licenses as the license applies to the operating system itself and not on the hard disk on which it is installed.

  Kind regards

• Satellite 2400-103 - what is the maximum size of HARD drive?

  Hi all.
  New here.

  Nobody knows what the maximum hard disk size is for a Satellite 2400-103? This laptop has a 30GB HARD drive which is complete at the moment and I'm moving to a 160 GB unit.

  Used software - DiskCopy - clone Moose 30 GB of cloning to the new 160 GB drive. This creates a partition on the disk that is the same size as the original (about 28GB). If the new hard drive is installed on the laptop at this point, the laptop will be start OK. If I use a partition manager - Partition Magic - to resize the partition to the size of the new disc (about 150 GB) then the laptop does not start.

  Would it because there is a limit on the size of the hard disk supported by this laptop?
  If so, what is the limit?

  Thank you and best regards.

  Mike

  Hello!

  Satellite 2400 is very old notebook, so I think it has a limitation of LBA 28 bits. This means that you can only use up to 128 GB of free space so the maximum capacity of the disc HARD would be 120 GB. So I think that's the reason why the computer laptop can-t start successfully with the 160 GB model.

  In your case I bring back the 160 GB model to the computer store and ask one another 120 GB one. It should work normally

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro 4280 - what is the size of the HARD drive?

  I just bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro 4280. According to the manual, it should have a 6.0 GB HDD but in my computer it is shown as having only a 1.34 GB capacity.

  PS I formatted the disk to remove the former owner data and operating system and you have installed Windows 98SE

  [Edited by: admin]

  Hello

  Satellite Pro 428Xcdt was certainly delivered with 6 GB HARD drive.
  Are you sure that you have checked the size of the HARD drive correctly?

  I guess the 1.34 GB is a free space on the HARD disk.

• Satellite Pro A10 won't boot to the top

  I really hope someone can help, my laptop suddenly stops. Since he stopped, I can't charge the laptop in any mode including safe mode. It happens on the screen as much as windows xp with the bar running along the bottom, but that's.

  in safe mode simply load the drivers and then simply do nothing

  any help would be appreciated as long as it's not yet my laptop

  Hello

  It is possible that the HARD disk you are using has bad sectors. You can check this with different tools. I can recommend HDD regenerator. You can also try PowerMax 4.23.

  Google around and you'll find useful info a lot on this topic.
