Satellite A20-S103 - crackling noise with new HARD drive

Hello together

I upgraded my laptop A20-S103 with a hard drive Western Digital WD2500BEVE 250 GB running under Windows XP Pro.
Since then, I have problems with the sound and the movement of the mouse when the CPU usage is high.

Up to 50% of its use, works well but before I crack and mouse sticks and made jumping movements.
The BIOS and drivers are updated to the latest versions of Toshiba online.
After awhile and a lot of research, I got also the HDD running in DMA mode with the IDE4008.exe ALI tool isn't that hard drive is running in PIO mode.

In addition, I think that the speed of the hard drive is low when the CPU usage is high.

Please also read http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=89990𕾆 that is showing that I'm not the only one with this problem.

Anyone know a solution?

I agree with Akuma. You should try to update the BIOS and drivers from the chipset and see if it works or not.
It's worth to try ;)

  • Blue screen error: 0x0000001a when using system to restore with new hard drive disk

    original title: blue screen error when you use the system disk to restore with new hard drive

    I bought a new hard drive to my computer because the old one gave me a bunch of error messages on screen blues. I installed in the tower and tried to use my restore and system recovery disks that the manufacturer has given me, the process has got to the last disk then asked for the system once again restore disc, and then began to load the last steps and went to blue screen error. I don't know what to do, I mean it's a whole new drive hard, so where could the error come, theres nothing on the hard drive because I have not yet used really, yet. Help, please

    I have finally fixed the problem myself. The problem was that one of the sticks three memory was bad and the only way I could test this error. I took two sticks a left, used disks I had and was able to restore my computer, then I put a stick, turned on the computer, had no errors so I let him, so I put the last stick in and com immediately on, I had the Disconnections: memory management and that's when I knew that the last stick of memory was bad I took it back and now my computer works well and I can't buy more memory for not too. So if someone gets this BOSD error on memory, I'd say 8/10 computers have bad memory (not a number). If youcannot run the tool of diagnosis of memory like me then I would suggest to do what I did with the trial and error, it was the only way to understand the problem. Thanks for your help

  • How to install Windows without recovery disc - Satellite A660 with new HARD drive

    Hey,.

    Portable 500 GB HDD of my friend Toshiba Satellite A660 seems to have died.
    I tied him to my laptop on a sata dock and runs a data recovery program because nothing has been saved. The recovery takes forever, however, and she really needs his computer to work.

    Because the hard disk may be damaged in any case, I am considering buying a new hard drive and install in the Toshiba.

    How can I do this without a recovery disk, though?
    The old drive was a partition recovery on it, I think, but this seems useless with a new drive.
    Operating system is Windows 7 64 bit home edition.

    The product key is on the bottom of the laptop.
    I live in Turkey and so I don't think there is a Toshiba store is close.
    There are individual computer stores, so I'm confident, I can buy a new internal hard drive (I could find the sata dock here), but he must know what to do to install the software, etc.

    Thank you!
    Chris

    > How can I do this without a recovery disk, though?

    You either have the recovery disk or you are going to install the system using the Microsoft Windows disk.
    The necessary drivers are in internet on Toshiba UE page.

    The recovery disc can also be ordered here:

    Hello

    My HARD drive sometimes creates similar sounds.
    I'm not quite sure about this sound but I save data always because some time ago one of my hard drives is dead and I could lose all my data so I would not have some backups created in the past of m

    I recommend doing the same thing
    Who knows what s wrong with the HARD drive, but I know with certainty that sooner or later all hard disks will die

  • Satellite U500 - where to get a new HARD drive during the warranty?

    Hello world

    I bought my Toshiba Satellite U500 some months in London, and a few days ago my hard drive starts to give me a such difficulties that do not correctly read and given the weird sounds. And finally at boot up to yesterday, its giving me this message "Pri Master hard disk: extended S.M.A.R.T. Status BAD, Backup and replace, press F1 for cont...» »

    Now, I realized that I need a new HD and that one is not usable. What I was wondering, is it possible to keep in touch no matter what service provider Toshiba in order to get the new HD cos this machine is almost brand NEW.

    Can someone give me an advice what to please, it would be much appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hi Edward_4,

    I agree with you. You need a new HARD drive as soon as possible because it s not recommendable to record data on a failed HARD drive.

    In any case, it should t be a problem. You must contact an authorized service provider and explain the situation. Technicians can order a new HARD drive for you and Exchange. This should be free, because your laptop is under warranty so it s age of a few months.

    On the Toshiba site is a list of all s ASP. This seems to be your interlocutor ;)

  • Want J010dx m7: windows will not start until after full recovery of the system with new HARD drive

    Hello world

    I need help here.

    My HP envy m7 J010dx works perfectly with my original hard drive (1 TB).

    I am preparing a second HDD (NEW 320) as backup.

    I took off the Moose HDD (1 TB) and replace it with the NEW HARD drive (320GB) and try to do a full recovery of the system with the HP recovery DVD.

    After full system recovery and laptop computer needs to be restarted in order to continue, the laptop keeps restarting on the logo of windows 8.

    I think it says device not found Boot. Also a test using the UEFI tool material HP and all pass.

    Replacing the NEW HARD drive with the original of the old HARD drive and it start normally.

    What can go wrong here in this case? Thank you very much for the help.

    Concerning

    John

    OK, I read through the thread and this is my point of view on this based on works including restore process with the user created a recovery (UCRDs) media which the user indicated that they used.

    If you just want to jump to the conclusion at the bottom, you can see my opinion. If you want to know 'why' Please read the entire post.

    Model No.: m7-j010dx

    Product #: E0K83UA #ABA

    Ships OS: Windows 8 (64-bit)

    Recovery HP part No. Kit: 730336-002 (3 DVDs + extra)

    User replaced the HARD drive with a 1 TB hard drive 5400 RPM with HP ProtectSmart hard drive Protection a new hard drive is a Seagate Momentus 7200.4 ST9320423AS 320 GB 7200 RPM 16 MB Cache SATA 3.0 GB / s 2.5 "Notebook internal hard drive.

    With the help of UCRDs sent media recovery media (SSRDs):

    When the UCRDs are created, only the drivers for the HW operation (this is a critical point, that I will look later) are burned to the user created a recovery media.  Consider this a snapshot of the current HW, the base drivers and software applications.   If you change the HW on your laptop or desktop where the additional device requires a different driver for these features, a few questions you might - recovery process could stop because he can't find the right driver, a blue screen, a lack of start-up or other unstable system.

    A few years ago, I had a PC that would not recover because the Blu - ray (ODD) optical disk drive did not work.  I replaced the WEIRD Blu - ray with a generic DVD/CD burner into the new part of Blu - ray is presented.   I got the PC using SSRDs thinking I would put some time and just install the Blu - ray after the PC has been recovered.   The PC recovered and when the new Blu - ray showed I installed the unit and guess what?  All PCs have shown in Device Manager and applications was a generic ODD - no Blu - ray capability and ability to read Blu - ray content in the default HP provided for multimedia applications delivered with the PC.  Applications were there but no Blu - ray capability.

    Huh?  It looks that I did not put any time at all.

    I inserted the new Blu - ray ODD and distributed recovery with the HP SSRDs.

    After recovery, I had all the Blu - ray drivers and applications supported Blu - ray.

    The difference between UCRDs and SSRDs:

    UCRDs provide a glimpse of what is installed and functional both disks are created.

    Version Digest of the player on what is happening with SSRDs to retrieve a PC (before Windows 10):

    SSRDs have all the drivers for all the HW and SW qualified for the unit.  There may be several drivers for hard drives, different types/screen resolutions, sides, etc.  Based on the characteristics of the specific laptop / desktop a process is run called "Do / don't.   After entering the recovery SDRD, the Notebook media boots to Recovery Manager.  The first step is a raw copy of all the contents of the disc on a temporary partition.  Following the Do / do not process looks at the characteristics of this specific unit and remove all other drivers and applications not used by this device.  Drivers and the only successful applications are the features supported.   And then, the new operating system and recovery partition is created.   The PC end recovery of cleaning process and restart the laptop / desktop. And, Yes, you guessed it, if you create the user created a recovery media, you only have the drivers for HW devices and applications of HP on the PC at the time.

    So, that being said, what could be the cause/solution?

    Hard drives can be different enough so that a different driver (not the UCRDs) is necessary for the newly installed HW.

    The SSRDs are supported on the new HARD drive installed?

    I don't know, I have an office boy, and I have not tried on this model of laptop.

    If you have / acquire SSRDs, I recover the laptop with the new installed HARD drive and see if it works.  It may or may not.  I don't know what drives were qualified for this laptop.

    If this does not work, the last option is cloning via USB connection (old HARD drive in the PC, new HARD drive connected to a USB 3 via the SATA Adapter (dongle) USB port, install or download software cloning and cloning the old HDD to the new.)   I just did this on the two older Windows 7 computers laptops using a SanDisk Ultra kit.  He has worked on both units.

    Conclusion:

    I don't think that the problem is caused from a HARD drive of 1 to a 320 GB HARD drive, as it meets the minimum specs for a complete installation.  I think the problem is related to the use of UCRDs to retrieve and the UCRDs do not have the HARD driver/firmware/application disc.

    But then again, I know.

  • 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.

  • How to reinstall Vista on PC Toshiba laptop with new hard drive?

    Hard drive from my Toshiba laptop of sisters died as well as its internal fan and she asked me to fix it, well I got a new hard drive and replaced the dead with a new internal fan and works perfectly fine with a Linux Live CD. However, she had previously Vista Home Premium installed on it, and there was no installation CD, just 2 recovery discs. Now, I was wondering where I could get an iso image of vista UNACTIVATED so I can use his legitimate product for her key. (I also have a week to achieve and I repair to other computers as well, which are not a problem, so time is of the essence)

    Also, I have no money and can't afford to get a Best Buy installation CD, as the operating system has already been installed on the laptop/OEM computer. If that would be legal so getting an online and burning a black CD and use it to get Vista on this new hard drive of his?

    In addition, I know how to install its drivers, and upgrade from SP1 to SP2 via Windows Update Manager, all I need is a vista installation CD Home premium to get his computer upward and execution of how she wants to.

  • HARD drive failed - attempt to recover with new HARD drive

    Hello

    My wife & I have the exact same model laptop computer Pavilion dv6, its hard drive has recently failed the test & stuck on the preparation of repair automatic screen

    If I create a my laptop recovery disk & load with a new hard drive installed on his laptop that work or are unique to each laptop recovery disks?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Recovery disks read one "tattoo" on the chip for the bios to make sure that they are used on the correct machine, however as long as the two laptops are identical (that is to say that they have the exact same material and came with the same version of Windows), then the disks created on your laptop should also work on machine of your wife.

    Note:  When to replace the HARD drive, choose a disk of the same capacity (or slightly more is okay) as the original - installing a drive which is lower in quality that the original often causes problems with the recovery process.

    Kind regards

  • 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 :)

    Maybe the new drive HARD isn t working properly and if the BIOS doesn't recognize it. Then you are also not able to install the disc of recovery on this subject.

    Hello world

    I have a strange problem...
    The crash of hard disk internal down. I mounted the hard drive on other PCs, no access, not detected in the bios... RIP.
    It is the starting point of my problem.
    So, I decide to replace the hard drive. a new is detected by the bios, everything beautiful, but...
    I couldn't start on USB, CD/DVD or hdd internal I prepared before (installation of linux don't care to change the host pc).
    Of course, I disabled the BIOS Secure Boot option.

    So my question is: is there a relationship between the original hard drive and the start feature? How to solve this?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    As much as I know there is no any type of relationship between original HARD disk and the start feature.
    You can exchange the HARD drive or enhance it with SSD but so long BIOS recognized new peripheral, you should be able to install the new OS.

    I upgraded the machine y with SSD and installed original picture of recovery without any problem.

    What model of laptop do you have?
    Have you tried to install the original recovery image using recovery media created?

    Hey people,
    I had a problem with a virus on this sat pro, so I decided to completely erase the hard drive to get rid of this virus. Before I did, I saved everything partiton D including the recovery path and after clearing course, I copied everything returns to a place (second partition).
    Now, try to recover and do not know how to do it. F11, F10 and F8 seems to not work. Do I need the recovery media created with recovery media creator or can I still use the recovery on the new partition D: path?
    Thanks for your help in advance,
    Stefan

    Unfortunately, recovery doesn't work on this path.
    What you need now is the recovery disk.
    In general the recovery image on the second partition is useless and you will not be able to start.
