Satellite C670-11 q clicking loud noise the HARD drive

Hello!

I helped my neighbor to find a new laptop and the entire installation and start-up.

We ordered a C670-11 q and it works very well, theres just a nuisance.
The drive made strong rattling noises, not as a dying or working drive. It's the same sound when you turn a disc, just a lot stronger. I guess that's the "arm of disc" that goes into its safe position.

I don't know if this laptop has a shock sensor to do this? The laptop was flat on the table, and there where NO vibrations while she does. There are no clicks under load, but they occur randomly when walking to the idle or surf/write normal.

I checked also save energy options and disabled to turn the disk, without help.
Also, this seemed odd, because the clicks occur often several times in a row. But there is no doubt it more when running on the battery.

I am running the BIOS and latest drivers in the area of support (as of yesterday).
The disk is configured in performance mode, I'm testing battery economy - should I?

And no, the drive took a beating. I was the first person to turn it on.

The drive is Hitachi, I don't run their analysis - no error.

Any help is greatly appreciated: o)

One of my computer portable HARD drive makes such noise too.

I m not exactly why, but I also think that it is at the head of discs moving record position.

However, I think that this is not really a malfunction since the laptop works pretty well and I didn't notice any problems with the HARD drive or files but I have created a backup of my files, just to be sure that you know
I think you should save the date just to be sure

  • Satellite L350-170 - sounds of clanking from the HARD drive

    My laptop Satellite L350-170 performs a kind of rattling noise when the hard drive light flashes.
    Is this normal because this is a replacement one but that I had did not all sounds.

    Hello

    It is very difficult to say why this noise appears.
    I have two laptops. On a laptop, the HARD drive clicks and creates its strange but 4 years it worked correctly.
    The other HDD doesn t create sounds

    So, as you can see not really easy to tell what could cause this noise of rattle, but I recommend creating a file backup.
    In the worst cases could die your HARD drive and as a result, a backup is always recommended.

    You said that the HARD drive has been changed so maybe you should ask ASP for more details and maybe this HARD drive will be replaced again.

  • HP 15 ab 522: loud noise of HARD drive

    My laptop (HP 15 ab 522) HARD drive makes squealing noise whenever the HARD drive light flashes white. The noise becomes quite noticeable and persistent when the system boots, the HARD drive light turns to solid white color. HARD drive runs smoothly when there is no indication of the LED on the HARD drive. I understand that whenever the HARD drive is accessible, he makes noise due to the movement of the read/write head but the noise is louder at compared other hard drives in other laptops. Its a Hitachi (HGST HTS541010A9E680) HARD drive as far as I can make out. I ran also ran a large HDD, all successful tests test.

  • Satellite C660D - 1 3 - How to remove the HARD drive password?

    So, my laptop is unrecoverly dead ;(
    (Toshiba Satellite C660D - 1-3)
    but the HARD drive still works (Toshiba HDD2L04 320)
    the problem is, I protected with a password that I can not turn off.

    I have the password, I could also save all my important files to an old crappy HP laptop running.

    But now I'd like to use it as an external drive, I can't as long as it is protected (I tried a few PC, nothing worked).

    When I try to disable it in the BIOS of the old HP, it asks me on a second password, a password for the master user... but I've never had one in my Toshiba :/

    What now? What I have to go to a store and try an another Toshiba or is it a tool to disable the password of windows or linux?

    Hello

    Unknown HARD disk password can not be removed... even the authorized service provider Toshiba will not be able to remove this password disk HARD unknown.
    In this case, the HARD drive will be useless

    Take a look at this FAQ from Toshiba:

    Hello

    Maybe you did not use good SATA driver?  :| Who knows
    The point is that there are two different versions of Intel Matrix Storage Manager supports different chipsets.
    I put t know what chipset is in charge of your laptop but you should check this and must also check the description of the Intel Storage Manager and check what chipsets are supported.

    In addition, you should have a look here in this doc from Toshiba:

  • Satellite L305D S5895: Win 7 cannot find the HARD drive or cannot format the HARD drive on a clean install

    I have laptop Satellite L305D S5895 of the customer. It was delivered to me by the customer who tried to install Windows XP Pro, Vista and none would install.
    He said he tried all the CD that he had finally dropped on it and delivered it to me installation.

    When I got the score have been removed, so I tried to install Win 7 and when I do a custom install, I get an error indicating that the hard drive can not be formatted on disk 0 or it will give an error that no hard drives have been found.

    I have reset the bios default and no matter what I do, it won't format or find the hard drive. I was going to upgrade the bios, but the only way I found to upgrade the bios is once windows is installed.

    Everyone has ideas about this laptop so I can get a system installed. I checked the bios and there is no parameters for a sata, raid or IDE disk drive, so it seems that this version cannot be changed.

    Thanks for anyone who can help you.

    The laptop supports a processor AMD and ATI chipset.
    This means that the drivers SATA is part of the ATI graphics card driver.

    You must include the first SATA driver in order to install the Windows operating system.
    You could add the SATA driver for the Windows disk using software like nLite / vLite

  • Satellite A30 PSA30E - BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive

    Hi all
    I have a Satellite A30 (PSA30E) and I start the computer. When I enter the BIOS it does not recognize the hard drive.
    Does anyone no what I can do?
    Is it possible to restore the BIOS?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You replaced the HARD drive by a new one or the BIOS don't recognize the old HDD?

    Usually if the laptop is not able to start and that the BIOS does not see the old HDD then I guess that the HARD drive is faulty.
    If the BIOS doesn't recognize the inserted new HARD drive and then either you ve bought is not compatible, or the size of the HARD drive is just too big.

    Please provide more info. You see error messages?

  • Satellite A100-451 - a few questions on the HARD drive, speakers

    I hope someone can help with these that I could not help on the information line.

    How fast is the hard drive on this laptop? He said SMART 160 GB, but does not specify a speed, although I'm guessing its 5400 RPM.

    Are the Harmon Kardon speakers? The specs say Toshiba stereo, and even on the Comet, he said Harmon Kardon. Here is a good bass-wise?
    Looks like there is no bluetooth, I find a little surprise.

    Finally, the only place wherever I can find it for sale is the comet... I was wondering it anyone has also saw that I had some dodgy experiences with them.

    See you soon
    Matt

    Hello

    I found some info that the rotation of the HARD drive is 4200 RPM. I'm not sure 100% on speakers but usually if laptop a harman/kardon speakers it is not in the specification but for A100-451, it is not the case. This info, you can get the garage directly.

    BT is not available, and it shouldn't surprise you because most of the A100 models are supplied without BT module. You can use any time key USB BT. IT is simple to use and really cheap.

  • Satellite L20-214 - isolate bad sectors on the HARD drive?

    Dear Sir

    My laptop fell off my table leading to serious hard drive problems. The hard drive now has some bad sectors that can be repaired with the chkdsk command. I managed to get my data on an external hard drive. Despite the bad sectors, I can reinstall it however from the recovery cd. Starting after that time consuming (1.5 hours) and after starting Windows I get the error messages from programs that cannot be started. It's the same thing after each reinstall. My guess is that the recovery disk writes data on the same spot every time both on bad sectors.

    I was wondering if theres a way to fix or even isolate bad sectors on the disk, so I can continue to use my laptop.

    Your help is very appreciated.

    Hello

    You can try HDD Regenerator 1.61 (HDD Regenerator is a unique program for regeneration of physically damaged hard disk drives. It does not hide bad sectors, it really restores them).
    However, the best way is to buy a new hard drive :)

    Hello

    As far as I know the HARD drive is placed on the right side of the laptop.
    I think it's on the same side where the reader is placed.

    1. turn the computer.
    2. remove the screw of the cover of the HDD location and remove the cover.
    3. remove the screws fixing the HARD drive ASSY.
    4. hold the HARD drive door handle and remove the drive HARD ASSY.
    5. remove the screws that attach the HARD drive.
    6 detach the HARD drive from the HARD drive support.

    That's all

  • Satellite L635-PSK04E - Windows does not recognize the HARD drive

    Hello

    Recently, my hard drive for my Toshiba Satellite L635 PSK04E was broken and I bought a Western Digital WD500LPVX to replace.

    I am trying to install Windows 7 on the laptop, but on installing Windows page size of the disc seems 0Go and there is a Windows message "the selected partition requires at least 8462 Mb of free space. Windows cannot be installed to this disk. Ensure that the control of the disk is activated in the BIOS menu.

    In the BIOS, the drive is detected as with the label (S2). (See attachment). Is this normal?

    I bought this as a SATA drive and thought that it would be compatible with my laptop (his recent hard drive is a SATA too).

    Now I'm afraid, that I bought a bad disc type that is not compatible with my laptop.
    But are not all compatible SATA drives? What is a drive problem?
    I couldn't find any Toshiba SATA drivers on their web page of drivers.

    Can you please help me what to do?

    To be honest HDD Exchange should not be a big problem. When you buy a 2.5 HDD with SATA connector should be recognized automatically and Windows installation should not be a problem. In general you can not do something wrong. Your dealer can help you with this also.

    Before continuing a matter of discussion for you: do you use the Microsoft installation disc or original recovery disk?

    One last thing: now when you need new drive hard best option should be upgraded with SSD. Disc SSD is much faster and using this disk, you can have the much faster machine with very short reaction time. If possible, send your new drive HARD back and buy SSDS.

  • Satellite P300D - problem with reboot after update the HARD drive

    Hello

    I have laptop Satellite P300D - 12 c and recently, I put a new hard drive, the Seagate momentus 7200 RPM 2.5 "500 GB. It works well, but I have a strange problem; normally when I reboot the laptop when it will close something sounds, in the figurative sense I could say "something moves" for a bit in the DVD - ROM drive and shuts down and then restarts.

    Now, when the reboot happens to the part of the dvd - rom drive, I described above it stucks there... "something is happening" on the dvd - rom drive as trying to permanently access a dvd or something and he does the same thing until I force it to shut down by pressing the appropriate button. It happens once in two attempts to restart.

    Does anyone have a solution or a tip or something? If you do not understand something to tell me,

    Thank you very much

    Hello!

    I agree with Akuma. Maybe the drive is loose and so you should try re-allocation of places there.
    Maybe it works

    And updated the BIOS, you can find the Toshiba site:

    I studied a bit and it seems that the laptop supports a HARD 40 GB, 60 GB, 80 GB and 100 GB disk size.
    I advise to use disks hard speed 5400 RPM and no 7200 RPM due to the temperature of production
    Additional cell phone supports a serial ATA (SATA) interface.
