Satellite A350 - strange problem with hitatchi HTS ATA 320 GB HARD DRIVE

Recently bought a Toshiba Satellite A350 - still under warranty.

My problem started with gel/delay of Windows whenever I transferred specific files.
I found that a lot of my files are the same; It's then that I transfer or open these files - this can take 10 minutes to load crash, then displays a corruption error
During this phase:
The hard drive makes a slow repetitive scratching sound
The laptop hangs for an average of 10 minutes before returning to a usable state - I found more than 15 files and suspect many more that are corrupt.
I suspect a faulty hard drive, like the check disk crashes and my system hangs whenever I open / transfer of these files.

I tried to reformat and install the new OS, but always check disk crashes and I lost a lot of important files, because they became unusable.

Is there something I can do to remedy this
or
If the hard disk is defective, Toshiba will replace?

BTW - I m in Australia.

Hello

Exciting announcement, but it will be interesting to know how exactly you do and what kind of data are responsible for this. I want to say I use laptop computers and can not say that some of the data makes my crazy HDD.

If you really think that there is a problem with the disk HARD nearest Toshiba authorized service provider contact. They will check the functionality of the HARD drive, and if there is a serious hardware problem, you will get a new. Of course for free.

    Hello

    These issues in the past have been resolved with BIOS update. I therefore recommend as a first step of the BIOS update.
    Check the current version on your laptop and the most recent proposed on the Toshiba download page.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  • problems with reinstalling xp pro on replacement hard drive

    I have a Dell Dimension 8400 purchased in 2005. I am trying to replace the old hard drive (SATA, WD, 250 G) with a similar (same room, only 500 G). After many difficulties, I had a bootable CD and was able to start with the new drive in, and I started to reinstall XP. But halfway through, he started to say various files were missing, and the installation worked properly - XP starts to load, then a get a blue screen and error message.

    Has been the problem with the partition of the drive? With the file system? With missing controllers?

    A reinstallation is possible with the Dell XP?

    There a better way to do it, by copying the old disk to the new disk image? Which copy on XP properly?

    I have spent hours on this problem so far and would welcome any advice.

    Several people seem to have had similar problems, but do not know if they are exactly the same questions.

    Thank you

    See Zigzag3143 answer you and I would add the following:

    If you have only one copy of all the files that are important to you,
    whether on an internal hard drive, external drive, or anywhere else, you
    are always in danger of losing. It is always possible that a hard
    car accident, near Thunderbolt, user error, virus, attack the same
    stolen computer, can result in the loss of everything on your drive.
    As it has often been said, it is not a question of whether you'll
    such a problem, but when.

    I hope you succeed to save your photos, but for the future, be
    of course, you always have a backup of these and any other
    important files on external media.

    Hallo all

    Can someoane help me with this little problem?
    I have a portable satellite A210-128 with a hard drive of 250 G 4200 RPM (* slowest *)... I want to change the hard drive with a hdd 2.5 "Western Digital 320 G 7200 RPM (* speed *).

    Question:
    1. If I buy a disk sata2 hard can I put on my laptop because my A210-128 has a disk sata hard?

    2 can I I install vista on this new hard drive on my vista dvd, im asking this because I want to be shor that my recovery dvd * RECOGNIZES THE NEW HARD drive * and I can install a new copy of windows or installing dvd can * only works with disk drives hard toshiba *... ???

    Thank you.

    As to the question;

    (1) I think a SATA2 HARD drive would go because the standard SATA2 is compatible to the bottom. But I assume that the system will operate as a good HDD SATA.

    (2) Yes, you can install vista using the Toshiba Recovery DVD. It shouldn't be a problem with a fresh install

    I experience problems when you use the hdmi connection:

    My computer: Satellite L670

    Scope: Watch movies on the LCD external (sony bravia) via hdmi

    Computer param: Clone computer - screen plugged - features full power - the screen of the laptop has been set in order to let the computer works normally when closed.

    When you play a movie with the laptop open screen, no problems. I have twice the movie, one on the computer screen and the clone on my external LCD. Perfect.
    But if I close the laptop screen (which would normally have no effect), lagging behind the film on the external display. He stops each 5 seconds for a few seconds and leaves, making it unreadable.

  • Satellite U300 - strange problem with volume control wheel

    I bought a U300 last week and I find that the volume control wheel doesn't move very easily. It seems that you have to push it slightly to adjust the volume, and when you release your finger, the volume goes in the direction you moved to slowly. Everyone knows this?

    In addition, when pressures above the express card slot the housing compresses. This happens on all the U300s?

    I would go back to the store I bought in and ask, but I live quite some distance from him so I thought I'd see if anyone here could help first. All responded very appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Looks like the wheel is stuck and something around the wheel blocks the volume wheel. I think the best idea is to return the machine as you said, since it s very unusual described what you´ve.

    You can also send your machine to a service partner chartered for an assessment of health/repair of equipment.

    Hello
    I think you are talking about Service Pack 2, you?

    Microsoft considers that the pilot of his Yamaha AC - XG is unstable and can compromise the stability of the system. When Service Pack 2 is installed, Windows disables the audio driver.

    You can try to install the drivers of its generics, but it may not work with your system.

    If the sound is working, you will not be able to use a volume control on the taskbar when you use the generic driver.
