• Satellite L500 - poor warning of HARD drive

  Hi people

  I am a complete dummy when it comes to pc!
  I had 2 smart messages indicating that my HARD drive is going to fail?
  I managed to check the status on my HARD drive in the monitor and it says 'poor' - how rectify this?

  Will it be a case of a new HARD drive?
  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hello
  Looks like the HARD drive would not be 100% ok
  But it of difficult to say why I recommend to check the health and status of the HARD drive by using a 3rd party software. You can check the Drive Fitness Test software.
  It s freeware and you can download this from some different pages.

  If some errors would be detected, I would say: it is time for data backup...
  It's always a good idead to have a backup in case something goes wrong with the HARD drive... you know...

• Satellite A210 - 1 4 - possible signs of a hard drive failure

  Hello

  I use a Toshiba Satellite A210 - 1 4 and think that the hard drive may be showing signs of failure.

  _The symptoms are: _

  * While the Windows 7 boot frequently stops at 'Starting Windows' screen (before the Windows logo appeared) and all HARD drive activity stops meaning a hard reset is necessary to bring him back.

  * When I unplug the power cord on Windows 7, the computer freezes usually with nothing happens and stop any HARD drive activity, once again a hard reset is required to bring back to life.

  What are these early signs of HARD drive failure or is there something else wrong?

  Hey Buddy,

  For me it doesn t look like the HARD drive malfunction if Windows 7 stops when starting or freezes when you unplug the AC adapter

  Have you already tried to reinstall the operating system? It could be the software problem.

  If you still want to check your drive HARD uses a disk HARD Drive Fitness Test as a diagnostic tool. It s freeware so you can find it if you search on Google.

• Satellite L300 - made HARD drive failure?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L300 age of 4 years (under Vista) who is suddenly suspended frequently.
  A bit of investigation leads me to think that it is a hard drive failure.
  Basically, chkdsk/r crashes at step 4. Disk defragmentation also blocks.

  I can start safe mode, and it seems to work ok.
  Is not an expert, could someone tell me if I jump to the wrong conclusion?
  Y at - it a diagnostic tool to specific hard drive from Toshiba that I could use?

  If the standard duration for these hard drives 4 years?

  Finally, when a hard drive crashes, it's just the specific physical areas that are illegible? or will it progessively spread and worsen very quickly?

  And I have everything backed up if not concerned about data loss but I was wondering about the short-term future.

  Thank you for any advice and provided thoughts.

  > Is there a diagnostic tool to specific hard drive from Toshiba that I could use?

  You can use another tool of diagnosis of HARD disk as disk HARD Drive Fitness Test.
  This freeware tool that allows you to scan the HARD drive.

  This software creates a diagnostic boot disk and you will need to boot from this drive to run the test.

  > Finally, when a hard drive fails, is it only specific physical areas that are illegible? or will gradually expand and worsen very quickly?

  HARD drive problems are always difficult.
  In most cases if the HARD drive crashes, you will be able to access files stored on the HARD drive.
  But different COMPUTER experts would still be able to recover files lost with special tools. But in most cases, these rescue operations are expensive and cost a lot of money.

• Satellite Pro P200 - Smart error "imminent hard drive failure".

  Hello! I wonder if someone can help me.

  Start the computer, the other day the S.M.A.R.T diagnostic program came suddenly on saying a "hard drive failure may be imminent," when I open the Intel Matrix Storage console, it says that the hard drive in port 0 has had a S.M.A.R.T event recorded against him but that of port. 2 is 'normal '.

  Port 0 is the volume of the operating system on it and if so what would be the best way to back up the disk and what someone knows how to change the hard drive and how much approximately would this cost?

  Thanks for any help inadvance.
  Paul.

  Hello!

  In my opinion, you should back up all the data as quickly as possible. In the worst case you could HARD drive might completely die and then you are not able to save the data on it.

  After that you should swap the HARD drive. It s depending on the model of HARD drive you buy how much it will cost but drives hard are not so dear to our days. I think that it will be possible to get one for 50 Euros.

  Good bye

• Satellite L655D-011-HDD/SSD Alert, HARD drive failure?

  I have an old L655D-011 of 6 months and yesterday it started to appear with the message to back up my files because there is a problem with my HARD drive. Well, after having a technical support in the past, I don't give that easily and simply run my laptop to the nearest authorized service center. Instead, I help out.

  I did the BIOS update finally. No change in question.
  Finally had time to create a recovery media. No problem with that at all.
  I reformatted. No change in question.
  Checked the health monitor. It shows that my HARD drive is "good". Yet, when I double-click the icon, I get a pop - up with the following message:

  "Toshiba HDD/SSD Alert."

  Disk0

  Your HARD drive is SMART failure to predict which monitors the status of operation of the HARD drive. Your HARD drive is facing a problem and CHIP controlling the software predicts that the HARD drive will fail. Toshiba strongly recommends that you create a back-up to the date of your HARD drive. Contact an authorized service provider to check your drive and buy a new replacement if necessary. »

  So, after that I decided to run a CHKDSK /f /r. Result: 'windows replaced bad clusters in file name \hiberfil.sys 44990.'

  I should be good to go, right? N ° same problem with the precaution of backing up my files.

  But this isn't good, is it? If my HARD drive is about to fail why monitor health show that everything is "good"? There is no problem with gel, pxe.boot errors, rattling disc, unusual vibrations or read/write failures.

  So, my questions (after all the above and see other threads to ask questions about HARD drive failure messages) are: were there any known issues where the SMART software does not work correctly? Are failure drives hard all from the same manufacturer (I've seen this happen - get a bad batch of a single manufacturer HARD drive)? The health monitor working correctly?

  In my opinion your questions cannot be answered simply.
  > Are there any known issues where the SMART software does not work correctly?
  How many people must confirm that they have the same problem? I guess this happens from time to time, but you cannot say that this problem is known.
  You will always find people who noticed the same issue and not on Toshiba forum only, but on all the forums where people discuss cell phones in general.
  > Is the disk failure hard all from the same manufacturer (I've seen this happen - get a bad batch of a single manufacturer HARD drive)?
  How to check or confirm this?

  You know, during the first backup all your important data, watch carefully what happens the next few days. If the info appears again and again, contact the nearest service Toshiba and let them Exchange the HARD drive.
  The guarantee is valid and it will be free of charge.

• How to format the HDD on my Satellite C855 1GQ

  I have a Toshiba Satellite C855 1GQ.
  How to format my HARD drive for your help thanks.

  Hello

  I don't know what you want to do exactly. HARD disk can be formatted before installing original recovery image that you got with your machine but also if you want to install the version of the OS.

  If you created the recovery disc you can format the HARD drive by using one of the available options (erase the hard drive) - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm
  In the case you want to use the installation of Microsoft at the beginning of the installation disc disc HARD current will be shown. You have the option to delete existing partitions, create new partitions and install the Windows operating system.

  Please let us know what you want to do exactly.

  Hello

  Do a hard reset first.
  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01684768

  The SMART drive test produces a prediction on the risk of hard drive failure, not a real failure.

  A warning to SMART disk error can appear for various reasons such as having been jarred abruptly computer or hard drive, be subject to the higher than usual temperature.

  Perform HP hard drive - wide test of the system BIOS Diagnostics shortly after switching on, tapping F10/F2

  If there are any Smart player or hard failure error you see, Hard Drive is a failure and the solution is to replace the drive.

  It would also be very wise to make sure that you back up all your files etc as soon as possible.

  Thank you

• Installation of Java has wiped out everything on the computer receiver error message: "windows-delayed write filed" hard drive failure ' x 5

  I installed java and it wiped out my computer, no program, no picures, no parameters on the left? He even wiped my restore points.

  I tried to restore to the point of installation of java, but alas nothing has happened, now I get all these boxes warning "windows-delayed write filed" hard drive failure ' x 5 and also warning mean my HDD is in peril of the personal data.  This single icon left on my desk is the internet explore and internet runs very slowly, I am reluctant to sign something incase, there a virus or something.

  Please help me!

  Hi Carolinelightfoot,

  This error message occurs when the system could not read and write data to the registry file. The error indicates a problem with the registry.

  Method 1:

  You can run a Checkdisk to see if there are drive errors that can cause this problem.

  Check your hard drive for errors

  Note: When you run the disk check, there is a chance of losing the data that you can take a backup of important data before you run checkdisk.

  Method 2:

  You can also try to boot from a full version of Windows Vista installation disc and try to perform a restore of the system to WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment)

  What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

  Hope this information is useful.

• hard drive failure

  I recently tried to upgrade to el capitan in yosemite. He failed during the installation process, and now, whenever I boot my mac need me in disk utility. I can't erase, restore, Mount/unmount my osx partition. I took it to the store, they checked, and it was the hard drive failure. IM wondering how I can run windows on it. I can boot into window normally and everthing worked.

  MacBook pro early 2011

  Windows is located on its own partition, and if your Mac partition is damaged in any way it is not part of the windows installation.

  If an authorized service apple tells you to replace the drive, you will need to back up your windows partition with something else than Time Machine, if it's not an a separate physical disk.

  Hi @ra1791!

  I'm sorry to say this, but such errors are indicating that the drive is about to fail, then the best option in this case will be to replace it with another unit. If the product is still under warranty, you can contact support, but in case you have no guarantee and you would like a guide to replacing the hard drive you can you take a look at the manual page, user 46:
