Satellite L25-S119 - HARD drive diagnostic software

Hi all

I need help with the following. My laptop information:
Toshiba Satellite L25 S119
Model - PSL2XU D 00500

My HARD drive is a Toshiba 60 GB 5400 RPM (MK-6026GAX) hard disk.

Would be it someone please let me know where I can find the HARD drive diagnostic software appropriate to the hard drive of this model. I suspect that it starts to develop problems and run a check until I have look at the controller.

Please notify.
Thank you.

Reggie

Hey Buddy,

Google can answer this question too... ;)

There are a lot of diagnostics for your HARD drive. You can use the Drive Fitness Test of Hitachi for example. It creates a boot disk where you can boot from to start the test.

An alternative look at HD Tune. It s Windows based but can check bad sectors too. In addition it allows to test the speed of the HARD drive.

  • Satellite L300D - corrupted hard drive, no recovery media, no windows key

    I have a Satellite L300D-11V I'm looking for someone who would not go further that a screen blank after windows start logo, and also when you run Startup Repair he would get at this stage even too. Now pressed 0 while starting would not bring to the top of recovery, only an option for Windows Vista.

    With the help of some high end diagnostic software I have diagnosed that the hard drive has several physical defects that could well be the reason for this purpose the reader is better off being replaced. However, because of the mistakes, I am unable to create images of the player via Acronis or similar.

    Buying a new drive no problem, but the person never did no recovery media so it appears I have to buy a Toshiba recovery.

    There is no Windows key on the case anywhere either.

    If I had to buy a Toshiba Recovery, it would be important that I have no Windows key on the presumption that the recovery would be an already activated installation of Vista for laptop?

    Thank you

    > If I buy a Toshiba Recovery, it would be important to have no Windows key on the presumption that the recovery would be an already activated installation of Vista for laptop?
    In this situation best way to solve this is to swap HARD drive, restore disk original order of Toshiba and install Recovery designed for this model laptop image.
    Recovery image should not be enabled. After the installation, it will be activated automatically if you n t need product key of Microsoft for activation.

    Original recovery disk can be ordered on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    By the way: Win7 32 bit works quite well on this laptop model then perhaps you should install has the version of Win7. Of course if you do this, you need legal product key.
    Anyway it has nothing to do with Microsoft sticker placed on Toshiba laptops. This key cannot be used for activation anyway.

  • 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.

  • Install XP on Satellite X 200 - HARD drive controller driver required - "couldn't find any HD.

    Hello

    I just bought a Satellite X 200 with Vista preinstalled. For reasons of game, I want to make it dual bootable with XP.
    When I try to install XP, it tells me that without hard disks are present. It seems to me that the XP (SP 1, 2, and 3) installation CD does not include the appropriate drivers for the HD/controller.

    Toshiba driver/download pages do not provide all drivers for XP HARD drive... do you know where to get them otherwise?
    Maybe download them from the original supplier (e.g. intel) but what version is on board fo the x 200?

    Thank you in advance (next lan party is in 2 weeks, so I'm hoping to solve this problem quickly :-))

    C

    > Toshiba driver download page do not provide all drivers for XP HARD drive... do you know where to get them otherwise?

    Of course, it provides the correct SATA driver. You need the Intel Storage Manager!
    To include the SATA driver you will need an external floppy drive. If you don t have this disk, you can use the freeware software called nLite to include the SATA driver in the XP operating system.

    Google for nLite!

    Hello

    Here you can get all the details on the standard warranty Toshiba ENCO.
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/generic/services_standard_warranty_eu/

    All laptops are covered by the EMEA limited workshop of at least 1 year
    Do you read the terms of this warranty where I found this:

    + This warranty is applicable only in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and can be run from any +.
    + Countries EMEA where Toshiba or its Service providers allowed provide warranty service to the terms and conditions provided for in this warranty. +

    Unfortunately, I think you need an ASP of Dubai or other countries ÉMAÉ one helps :(

    Otherwise, you can replace the HARD drive on your own. It is not very complicated.
    You can do it yourself. Buy cheap a SATA HDD and replace it

  • Satellite M70 - after HARD drive partitioned, the OS does not start

    Hello

    Good then this is a real doozy, and I hope that someone will help.

    I started to fix my satellite m70 girlfriends using the disc of recovery etc, everything went fantastic, the HARD disk has been erased and Windows + all software has been reinstalled.

    Then I thought it would be a good idea to use partition magic to partition the hard drive, so I chose the main hard drive and cut 10GB of it to put in place a new partition.

    I rebooted, and then after Windows restarted again completed.

    NOW, it does not charge, it says no operating system, so I tried to start with the recovery disk and all over again...

    If I click on continue (to start the recovery process), however it is said now that the "Error #1828", free space is too small.

    I'm really angry that this has happened and I just want to start over again.

    Can someone help me with this?
    I can't access the Bios either (not sure if that might help), because I don't know the password (must be a fault im not aware of).

    Help, please.

    Thank you
    SG

    I think that this is the reason why you used a tool to change the size of the partition. At best, this should be done before you install Windows and 10 GB is a little too small for Windows. You must use at least 15-20 GB for the first partition where the BONE is placed.

    To resolve this problem, you must delete all existing partitions before using the recovery disk. Therefore, you can use a Windows XP disk or something else. Just boot from it and delete all partitions. Then the recovery disk should work.
    Check it!

  • Satellite Pro A100 - HARD drive upgrade

    Hi, I have a Satellite Pro A100 with a FUJITSU MHV206OBH HD, he has been faithful and worked for at least three consecutive years, now my HD is filled with data from software etc. etc. I just changed the memory and upgraded to 2 Gygs and really the A100 is now as fast as my Dell XPS. I love my Satellite and want to install a new larger drive,
    Has anyone in the forum upgraded to a larger HD, advice, any recommendation of HD, where can I find the service manual for this.

    Best regards

    Thor Hedderich

    Hello

    In General, all satellites/Satellite Pro should have SATA hard drives and upgrade is not problematic. You can do this alone.
    If your laptop's 60 GB HARD drive only you can improve even with 120 GB or 160 GB.
    These hard drives are so cheap.

    Is that enough for you?
    Replacement is easy to do and you don't need manuals.

    The low side is set with a cover of HARD drive screw. On the disc lid HARD is placed also for computer laptop (one of the 4).
    -Remove the HARD drive cover
    -Remove the HARD drive pack by pulling on the cushion of the battery, following the direction of the arrows
    -Place the pack HARD drive on a flat surface (such as a desk) and remove the two cushions

    I guess you know now how to put a new.

  • Re: Click on Satellite A300 - noisy HARD drive - strange of sound while booting

    Hi all

    I'm new and I would try to solve some problems with my new laptop * SATELLITE A300-1MZ * (with Vista) and * its hard disk * (a MHZ250BH of Fj-simens).

    I noticed that he is very mechanical in the normal conditions of use, in fact, when I turn on my computer, I hear a clear rattling and his mechanic from the HDD at different times also when there should be no disk activity.
    * Particularlly every 3-5 seconds * I hear a very strange noise as a small but very distinguible mechanic "CLAC" (is not refer to number of cycle ordefrag or indexing workload). Ditto on my ubuntu LINUX distro.
    However the phone never crashes

    _It first start Appareed and it's very noise_.
    I would ask if this is normal... It appeared regardless of the AC or battery power source.

    I just make a SMART software which is no problem, but I'm very worried about this problem.
    By phone, I just say all this to the center of Toshiba in my country, but for them all right. The laptop works ok.

    Not to mention that I found that * HDD * becomes * hot * also if there are no programs or processes that use it.
    He begins to 29a ° - 31Â ° and it gets hot with normal use (35 ° - 36Â ° after finished booting and after 30-40 min temperature is become more warm-42a ° - 46Â °, when its average temperature is ° - 48Â ° 46a - imagine if I turn for example a virus scan or a very hot video coding software-It to become: 50a ° - 55Â °.) (I try always not to overcome this final temperature). What is the maximum?

    * I hope you can give me an explanation to the problem.*
    * I ask if this is a problem common to other A300 owners.*

    For my personal reflection, that noise, it is very distinguible for a cooler quiet fan system (infact my dual core is 43a ° with normal use)
    Infact I would like to find a system to enable more cool fan (I have just seen in the bios and utilities from Toshiba but found nothing to that effect)

    Finally, I would like to know if the * battery time * 1h30mins (with the symmetric mode) is acceptable for a new laptop (with save mode is 1h40mins max).
    * I hope your support and I apologize for my language school *.

    Thanks y'alls.

    Hello

    I think that it s nothing wrong with your HARD drive.
    I have two cell phones and a PS3 at home.
    The HARD drive in a laptop made similar clicking sound. In addition, I noticed the same sound in the PS3. Since the upgrade to 500GB drive HARD makes the similar sound as the HARD drive in my notebook.
    I think that it s nothing wrong with the HARD drive and eventually it s nothing serious.

    > Finally, I would like to know if the battery of 1h30mins (with the symmetric mode) is acceptable for a new laptop (with save mode is 1h40mins max).
    Battery working time depends on the use of the laptop.
    The battery lasts a shorter time when to implement applications performance on the laptop. Also if the brightness of the display is set to the highest level, the battery needed to dump a lot more quickly.
    So I think 1.30 min is OK for the laptop. Of course, you can buy a stronger battery in order to use the laptop longer with battery power.

  • How to install Win 8 on Satellite C850 after HARD drive failure?

    I have a PC repair business and a customer gave me a portable Satellite C850-1 kN which took a catastrophic hard disk failure (just clicking from the road).

    I replaced the hard drive and tried to boot from a DVD 8 Windows, changing the order of startup in the bios, however, it still gives an error message "no boot device."

    I see no way to turn off boot UEFI, it appears grayed out in the configuration of the bios.

    How can I reinstall Windows on this laptop?

    First, you must know that the (CSM/UEFI mode) parameter must be changed if you want to install the system supported UEFI not (Win 7 and higher).
    Win 8 and 8.1 Win are UEFI capable systems and you should be able to use the option to UEFI mode.

    What about the secure boot option?
    Have you found and have you tried to disable this option?

  • Re: Satellite A300 - second hard drive

    Hello

    I have place for HDD and connections on the motherboard, but don't not have hard drive connector.
    Camputer are 1gn A300.

    Help, please!

    Hi Lotus

    Toshiba offers Satellite A300 with one or two hard drives with two different mothers. Plastic cover is the same for both models of laptops and that's why there are two disk HARD covered and placed two HARD drive. Laptops without SATA connectors are not ready for the upgrade.

    No one here in this forum has reported that these updates possible if laptop doesn t have original SATA connector to the second HARD drive, so I think that you cannot upgrade your laptop with the second HARD drive.

    By the way: it's not easy to find these parts.

  • Satellite Pro A200 - hard drive has lost half it's memory

    I have a toshiba Satellite Pro A200 on Vista. Vista came preloaded and I not all disks for it. I got it from the new (Sept 2007). The hard disk is divided into units. Recently my C drive has filled competely and I now no space left (went 55gigs) I store some data in this drive. All my multimedia elements (music, photos, and other files) is in my E drive. I have to run C Cleaner whenever I start in order to have enough space for the operation of the computer. I also remove all but the last restore point in order to function.

    I am at my wits end and think I must have a virus or something. Is there a way to restore the computer to the 'new '? I have all my files backed up on an external hard drive, so I don't mind from scratch. Not keeping in mind I have no install discs as Vista came preloaded.

    Can anyone help? Please, I beg you!

    Hello

    If you don't have a recovery disk, you can order from Toshiba for the money. Otherwise, you can get copy of Windows and installed with the drivers of Toshiba (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp)
    Then, you mentioned that hard drive has lost half it's memory, tell you if it was ok before but not available? Please check disk management, utility of the Panel. What is shown here?

Is it OK to use a hard drive from another provider? I want to use a Hitachi drive, which is less expensive, but it will be compatible?

    Don't know anything about Hitachi, but what speaks against an exchange of hard drive?

    Hey Buddy,

    Desktop computers and laptops have different drives. Desktop hard drives are bigger (3.5) and laptops using only 2.5. On Wikipedia, there is a nice article on hard drives:

    Satellite L450D already supports SATA drives if you need a new 2.5 HDD with SATA interface.
