Satellite A200 - 1 M 5: sounds from the HARD disk that is not regular

Dear,

I bought a new Satellite A200 - 1 M 5 1 week there are, but I have noticed a noise coming from your hard drive that is not regular, whenever the drive is currently in use, there is a noise from him. It's weird, I had Satellite phones precedents and never faced that.
is this normal in this series of satellites? or damage my hard drive? Although it works very well so far.

If anyone has an idea about this, please let me know it.

Appreciate it.

Who is normal behavior that the HARD drive makes sounds while working.
On some disks, the sound is louder and some drives are quieter.

My laptop comes with a 100 GB HARD drive and I noticed that this HARD drive work harder than the previous 40 GB HARD disk.

I don t think that there might be a problem with your HARD drive. It of new.
So, in my opinion you should t be worried.

and if the HARD drive is going to die your warranty covers the replacement ;)

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say why you can not install recovery image. It would be interesting to know if the same thing will happen when you replace the HARD with the same or identical.
    This title was the original HARD drive?
    If possible, try to get original Microsoft installation disc and check if the HARD drive will be recognized by Vista or Win7 and of course if you will be able to install and boot OS preinstalled.

    Regarding the installation of Windows XP Home edition: it is well known that the WXP installation will start properly due to lack of SATA driver that must be loaded prior to installation of WXP begins.

  • access to the "My Documents" folder on the HARD disk that does not start

    Recently, I got 2 hard drives put in place into a monster of table (SATA) on me. I had an IDE hdd hooked that I had just never deleted. My "mirrored array' failed me so I ended up replacing my MB & CPU and started from scratch. The IDE hard disk has some very relevant info, I need to recover. I can get to basic files in there, but my most important stuff is in my folder 'My Documents' but as far as I can get is to open "Documents & settings". Another thing I try to open fails. I made a password but have no way to enter (at least AFAIK), I would appreciate greatly any help on this problem. Thank you

    The Satellite A100, I presume that you need BIOS password. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do about it. Accredited maintainer Toshiba can remove the password for you.

  • Whistle sound from the hard drive

    I have a HP Pavilion laptop dv6, and recently, when I did a hard drive error checking, the hard drive has begun to produce a similar whistle sound. Additionally, the error checking was insensitive. So I had no option, but turn off the laptop directly. After turning on, it showed that I had to install an operating system! I turned off again, and then later, it works. This time, he's walking normally. But I would like to know if all precautions should be taken, since the noise coming from the laptop earlier worries me. I would like if this is normal or dangerous.

    Akhil

    Hi Akhil,

    The problem may occur if the hard disk is not connected correctly. I suggest you make sure that everything is connected and working properly. You can also see the article for the diagnosis of the hardware:

  • Satellite A100-998: Clunks from the HARD disk in just 2 months old

    Should I seek attention warranty for ths noise or as pixel screen died strange, it's something I have to learn to live with that?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    In my opinion, you should contact the service authorized in your country partner and clarify the situation. If there is something wrong with the HARD drive you will get a new.

  • Satellite A100 PSAA9A - drivers and applications from the recovery disk

    This laptop was reformated HARD drive and I decided to try Windows 7 (beta), which is currently installed and working well. I would like to install the original drivers and applications from the Toshiba recovery disc but I don't want to reinstal the operating system (XP). Is this possible?

    As far as I know that is not possible because applications from the recovery disk and drivers are for Windows XP and they are not compatible with Windows 7.
    In addition it of not possible to install the only special drivers or applications from the recovery disc.

    You can download all the drivers and tools on the site of Toshiba, but I doubt that it of compatible with Windows 7, but you can try it out and post your result here.

  • How to recover files from the hard disk recovery partition?

    There are recovery (D) on the hard disk.  How can I recover all my old files and programs of this drive?

    Original title: I changed from Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 operating systems.

    Hello sdf361,

    The recovery partition, that is what you would use to restore your computer when you bought it with the OS on it
    that was pre-installed. It is not your old programs and data on it. You will need to backup your data to restore and install
    your programs since the original installation discs.

    If you do not have the program disk, I suggest that the manufacturer of the computer.

  • T400 problem booting from the hard disk, blinking cursor on the top left corner of the screen

    I have problems with T400 (2765-TDG). He struggled with the Setup, which requires power 5 minutes/disable to propely operating system boot.

    Computer laptop is less than two months, entirely properly the driver being up-to-date, then after that, nothing's been done about it to user or system administrator. Problem occurred suddenly after two weeks of mentioned maintenance.

    • There is no other device connected to the laptop, even mouse not

    • When he is successful, just before the start of the operating system, the boot in diagnostic mode to start (with fast start disabled) I can hear only a single beep

    What I tried to do:

    • I changed the BIOS setting to force booting only from hard drive, cut off from any other starting device.
    • Also, changed from AHCI mode to compatibility for hard drive, but without help.
    • Turned off the coast of quick start, but during the startup process, there is no specific error indicated

  • Deleting files from the HARD disk without confirmation?

    My catalog has thousands of duplicates.  I began to remove them by opening each folder & select 1 or more and do a right click to remove.  Whenever I do this I wonder if I want to remove the HARD drive as well and I always say Yes.  Is it possible to remove the step that requires the conformation?

    I don't think so.

    But what you can do instead to delete each file individually: you can try to assign a keyword such as 'tobedeleted' to the selected files. You can assign the keyword for multiple files highlighted on your screen, browse another page and so on. When you're done, you select all files with that keyword and delete all at the same time with a single click to ' also delete disk.

  • Remove stranded files from the hard disk to the VM package

    I have a virtual merger machine that is now 96 GB in size (database development) and it contains several virtual hard drives.  Now, I have cleared one of the drives on and outsourced (he placed on an external Firewire based drive).  Removing the abandoned drive does not reduce the size of the virtual machine.  Research in the VM package, I see that the hard disk file (vmdk) is always inside the package and using 54 GB.

    The question is so I can delete these files from the VM package or it will damage the VM?  I tried to make a backup of the VM, but right at the end that it maintains the production of an error so I would like to know if anyone has experience with this before making the jump.

    Removing a virtual drive simply deletes the references, it does not delete the virtual disk. If you do not have a snapshot (for example), it is safe to delete. Make sure get you the right one, well - I recommend you all first move somewhere else and then try to start the virtual machine. If it is used at the moment (but maybe not if it is only used by a snapshot), merge will complain.

  • Satellite P300 - 190 PSPC2C - water spill and the HARD disk does not appear on the Setup

    Hello

    Spilled water on the keyboard. Laptop has stopped working.
    Dried, but did not recognize the HDD start up and HDD does not Set - up.
    Moved the HARD drive to another location of the HARD drive on the laptop and it appears at startup and boot OK.
    Is there an easy way to find and repair the defective HARD drive slot?

    Thanks for any help.

    PK

    Hello

    The HARD drive slot is not repairable. It s a HARD disk controller and I guess the HARD disk controller is dead.
    The HARD disk controller is part of the motherboard and if you want to repair it, so the entire motherboard must be replaced.

    New motherboard would cost a small fortune he of not good about market 350Euros
    That's why I put t think it is s to replace the mobo only to get the HARD drive in the first location of work

    I met this BSOD error several times, and the following fix usually (not always) allows the hard disk to be read by the system...

    -Boot your system and access the BIOS Setup
    -It will vary with different systems, but try to press "F2", "F10" or "delete".
    -If you need help with this step, let me know the model of the system, and I'll see what I can come up with
    -In the configuration of the BIOS, looking something like "Device Boot Configuration"
    -Go to the hard disk configuration and change the current option
    -Here are the most common options that I can think of:
    -SATA IDE, AHCI, (newer systems have more options, such as IRRT)
    -If the current option is "SATA", change it to "AHCI" or "IDE".
    -If the current option is 'DCIS', change it to "IDE", etc...

    It's just a quick run through a possible fix, without knowing the details of your system!  If you need more detailed help, I would like to know the details of the system, and we'll see what we can do!

  • Try to migrate from the hard disk for ssd drive

    Hello, 4 days ago I bought dell inspiron with windows 8.1 5748 and a 1 TB hard drive.

    I also bought samsung 250 GB of ssd drive 840EVO to replace the disk of 1 TB of the laptop. I cloned the HARD disk drive and restored the image in the ssd drive and when I mounted the SDS disc and shot to the top of the laptop I got an error that it cannot detect a drive... Press F2 to enter setup F5 for diagnostics and F1 to reboot.

    First I made sure to rise properly. After I checked I entered the bios where I noticed that the drive is recognized in the details of the system. The model was correct, the capasity as well. Fashion was ahci.

    I ran the diagnostics and they couldn't locate a drive.

    So, is this an incompatibility? I checked for updates to the bios and I see I m to date on that. The player is surelly ok as I have tested on another pc...

    What can I do?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Add1ctiv3,

    We recommend that you use the recovery disks that are you ready when you got your system to restore the image of the original on the SSD hard drive. Since they have the same size, it should work without problem.
