• Satellite U940 - Random BSOD after replacing HARD drive

  Good day ladies and gentlemen!

  I was wondering if I can win some lights here - as I google myself in a bunch of flange on the issue, I have!

  I am a famous computer technician (modest too) and more recently, a client of mine introduced me to a ultrabook Satellite U940 - lovingly with the SSD / HDD Raid 0 configuration running our beloved Windows 8.

  All things according to their entire course - Hitachi hard drive failed (as google tells me is to be expected).

  So, I replace the hard drive by a great little number Western Digital, cloned from Hitachi, sector by sector, and after a significant cajoling with bcdedit and bootrec amount, I could so he could begin our good liked Windows 8.

  However, since then, I have random BSOD, cold boots failed and all sorts of errors.

  I ran all the regular patches - SFC/scannow, chkdsk/r, Windows 8 repair facilities, etc., but it is still volatile jolly.

  Things seem not to be as they were with this Satellite little ol '-before any repair, the peripheral device manager showed two "RAID 0' in the category of hard drives, and since then it shows the individual SSD and the WD HARD drive."

  I've updated the driver for the Intel Rapid Storage at latest on the Toshiba site, but nothing helps - alas!
  The weird part is that if I do a reboot on this little beauty, she starts without any problems, but a start cold after a power off is a completely different question - dummy - spit crashing, dumping, in general!

  If there is a troubleshooting there champion who can destroy my help in this situation, I'd be very impressed and never have if they could provide assistance in this regard.

  Unfortunately Microsoft - are we are all end by using these products of ever-so-pretty Appl?

  Hello

  I read in some discussions here in this forum only after replacing the disk SSD or HARD drive, the RAID configuration is lost and must be rebuilt on a device Windows 8.

  But this can be done very easily, and this can be corrected by an authorized Toshiba because this procedure requires special tools and utilities.

  Unfortunately, it seems to me that you will need to contact the ASP in your country to get this problem resolved :(

• Satellite L350 - Crackle sound after replacing HARD drive

  I recently had to replace the hard drive on my Satellite L350.
  Since then, the sound was crackling.

  I downloaded the top so far, pilots, was deleted and reinstalled the crackles still pilot.
  Any other pointers?

  Thank you. Dawn

  Hello

  Have you installed the OS of the window using the Toshiba Recovery disk or have you installed a clean Windows operating system using Microsoft disk?

  I advise to use the Toshiba Recovery disk to install the operating system once more.
  In addition, the sound chip is Realtek so I think you also need to choose the audio driver from the Realtek page.
  Here you will always find the most recent driver for the chip.

• Satellite 1410 714 extremely slow after replacing HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a Satellite 1410-714 which has had a hard drive failure. I replaced the drive, but now the computer is extremely slow. Windows has been reinstalled, it was really slow too much and now it takes minutes for windows to start.

  I suspect that something might have broken on the motherboard and the hard disk. I checked mobo replacement parts, but have not found anything for-714, so a 1410 mobo compatible? This model has a processor celeron 1.8.

  Thanks for help.

  Hello

  I can t think the motherboard is broken after replacing HARD drive.
  I suggest updating the BIOS first. Maybe your old BIOS have a few problems with the most recent HARD drive.
  Please check site driver Toshiba for the latest version of BIOS.

  Have you used any anties Virus applications?

• Satellite Pro 2100: How do I reinstall the OS after replacing HARD drive

  I have a Toshiba SP2100 and I want to replace the hard drive, but I don't have any recovery CD
  So, how can I put the o/s back on?

  Try to connect the external HARD drive to the computer via the USB port and try to copy all content from the internal HARD disk external HARD drive. Then you could try to insert the external HARD drive in the laptop.
  But I've never tried this procedure and don t know if it will work.

  But usually after replacing HARD drive you should boot from the Boot CD as recovery CD or the original CD of Microsoft Windows.
  After the installation of clean Windows OS, you can visit the Toshiba drivers and you can download and install the drivers of Toshiba and utilities.

• HP Pavilion 17: mouse pad does not work after replacing hard drive

  Hello

  After replacing hard drive and installing windows 8.1, I can't use my mouse pad.

  I installed the Synaptics driver but it didn't help.

  How can I check that mousepad device is not damaged when replacing the hard drive and which also can I try to fix the mouse pad?

  USB mouse works fine.

  See you soon

  The only way to be sure is to open it up and see if the touchpad cable was disconnected during the upgrade of the hard drive. That's my bet. Easy to forget when you're winding. You don't provide complete model number, but many of the recent models Pavilion 17 require removal of the cover together to get hard disk that requires disconnection of the touchpad cable.

• Satellite L300 - cannot install Microsoft updates after replacing HARD drive

  I am repairing a Satellite L300, which had a dead HARD drive. I replaced death 160 GB of HDD with a 500 GB WD, then used the recovery disks to install Windows Vista SP1 at the exit of the State of the box.

  Now, Windows update does not work, won't install autonomous not of Vista SP2 I downloaded, MS Security Essentials moved there also.
  Then I borrowed a 160 GB of work and went through the same process and everything works fine.

  To make it work with a 160 GB HARD drive, but not a 500 GB HARD drive. Why?

  > ... Standalone Vista SP2 I downloaded will not be installed
  Usually after installing recovery image, you have just to connect laptop to internet and after a short period of time, you will get messages about available Windows updates. Just install the offered updates process automatic Waterer and install important updates only.

  Let the system to install all the updates and don t force the installation of some own downloaded stuff.
  Last month I've updated HARD drive (320 GB I think) and installed Win7 on friends L300 and I didn't noticed any problem here.

  Hello

  You need to create the own recovery in the past disc!
  This recovery disk allows you to install the Toshiba image after the HARD drive is dead or has been replaced.

  In case you have not created this disk, it is possible to order this support:

• satellite 2520cdt is very slow after replacing HARD drive

  My Satellite 2520 CDT is the HARD Mk 4309 MAST 4.3 GB default disk. I replaced the with the Toshiba MK 2016 GAP of 20 GB.
  I use Windows 98 since the original installation CD. The laptop is now very slow, it takes minutes to start programs, etc.

  I installed the latest BIOS with no improvement. Probably the laptop cannot manage the size of the HARD drive.

  Is there a solution?

  Hello

  I had the same suggestion. I think that the large size of the HARD disk is responsible to slowly start performance. But I wonder why BIOS recognize the HARD drive?
  However, try to defragment the HARD drive.

• System recovery satellite M50 after replacing HARD drive

  Hello

  The drive of my laptop Satellite M50 becomes rather clicky and looks like it's on its way. Replacing, it will not present any problems, but I will replace it with a drive of at least double the capacity of origin.

  At one point, I had installed a Linux system and when I tried to reinstall my Windows system on a partition that is smaller than the entire recovery cd disk threw a wobbly and refused to proceed as it did not recognize the hardware profile of my portable computer, that the drive was too small.

  I expect the same thing to be true once I upgraded the HARD drive.

  How can I avoid this problem?

  Thanks in advance

  PK

  I would like to clone the old drive if it is an option.

• Satellite C650, media recovery fails after replacing HARD drive

  I have a 3 years C650, and the HARD drive has failed. I got a replacement drive and sorts to recover from the recovery media disks that I created and although he claimed to have re - partition the drive and reinstalled windows, windows startup fails when tried to configure the devices "could not configure windows to run on this hardware.

  After this error, the boot sequence goes into an endless loop, asking to start the installation procedure.

  Thinking that my records may have been corrupted, I ordered a set of Toshiba recovery disks. Once again, these go through the recovery process and still once, Windows startup does not exactly in the same place.

  A little annoying to have spent £30 for nothing.

  I have a picture of Windows system on my external HARD drive, but I can't get the machine to a point where it will actually start so I can recover from that.

  Any suggestions on how to proceed is welcome!

  Thank you
  Martin

  Hello

  Of course, this isn't a problem of recovery disk.
  I guess there is a problem with the HARD drive but I n t think that the HARD drive has failed I think there is a problem of setting

  First, you should go to BIOS and check if the SATA set to AHCI.
  Then you should also format the HARD drive again.

  I recommend to use the freeware tool called GParted. You could create a live USB stick bootable flash memory which will allow you to start the unit and start GParted tool.
  Format the HARD drive, and then create a partition.

  After that, take the recovery disk and start the recovery procedure.
  Good luck

  Hello
  To be honest I n don't know what the problem is there but can you get the original installation disc of Microsoft and try to install the OS, just to see if the OS installation will complete successfully?
