• Satellite M30-604 - mechanical hard drive failure

  My satellite M30 604 is guaranteed (bought 10 months ago) and my Hitachi travelstar hard drive crashed unexpectedly. The accident is probably mechanical, so I can't use data recovery software (makes things worse). The only way to get my data is to give the HD a specialist who will open in a 'white room' for something like 300-600 Euros (!) and try to recover as much as possible. Now:

  -> Toshiba said that if I do that, the guarantee is void and I will also have to pay for a new disk (100 euros)

  -> If I want to replace the disk (warranty) then toshiba Gets the old drive and I lose my data forever!

  WAIT A MINUTE GUYS!

  (a) it's my data, my work and you CAN'T make me blackmailing you with such things 'warranty void. I want my old crushed drive back! I want to try to recover as much as I can! my 10 hour work - someday is here!

  (b) Moreover even if the heads of the drive crashed, my PERSONAL, PRIVATE data are always in the disk and CAN be read with special techniques. How toshiba (or any other company for that matter) asking me to give it to them?

  What should I do?
  What would you do?

  Hello
  I sympathize with your problem and can suggest only the following reflections:

  1. the recovery of your data seems the most important factor here. I suggest you to remove the HARD drive so that it can be sent to a specialist to retrieve data are possible.

  2. Since the removal of the disc HARD not not usually involves a broad dismantling of Notepad it should not invalidate the remaining warranty (other than on the HARD drive itself).

  3 replacement HARD drive can generally be obtained quite a beneficial one of internet sellers price (check using GOOGLE to a suitable replacement). You can then reinstall your OS recovery CD.

  4. I suggest investing in a bunch of backup software (such as Norton Ghost) to avoid this problem in the future. (I had four replacement hard drives on my Satellite A30 in the past 12 months).

• Satellite L350 - persistent master hard drive errors

  I've known persistent main hard disk errors. Errors, in their first incarnation, were windows freeze at loading screens and screensavers, and then developed by stopping Windows to boot at all. It certainly would not start normally and sometimes would not start in safe mode. I used the recovery partition to restore the computer to its factory settings. A day or two later, the same symptoms began to manifest again, although not as severely. The hard drive errors, freeze on screens and loading screen savers.

  My question is: if I re - format the hard drive master, thus destroying the recovery partition, I could then just restore windows from a newly formed recovery CD? And, in addition, what is the probability that reformatting the drive hard completely would have an effect on the frequency of errors?
  If the hard drive is simply borked, format or not? And if yes, what is the next step?
  Could I restore windows on my drive hard slave and give up on the master?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hey Buddy,

  Are you sure that all these problems related to the HARD drive at 100%? How did you check that?

  I don t mean it s not the HARD drive, theoretically, you could be right but before you think to change the HARD drive please use a diagnostic tool special for HDD as Drive Fitness Test:
  http://www.HitachiGST.com/support/downloads/#DFT

  This tool can check your HARD drive for bad sectors.

  If the HARD features of bad sectors disk, formatting will not help you because the sectors are physically damaged. With other words, the only chance is to exchange it.

  But if you have already used the recovery feature of HARD Toshiba drive to reinstall Windows you can say s that no problem of software and it must be hardware related. ;)

• 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 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 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

• Substitute Satellite A660 - HARD drive failure - questions

  My laptop A660 tohiba with 650 GB drive hard as he begins says: cannot start but nevertheless starts.
  So I think it's time to replace it. I have a few questions.

  1. What is the exact model of hard drive I need to ask? SATA?
  2.i said only, I could get 500 GB or 1 TB hard drives Toshiba, my machine would support a 1 to?

  Help, please.

  We must look for SATA 2.5 HARD disk and my knowledge, any size must be supported from the controller SATA isn't really limited to a particular size.
  That is why must be too 500 GB same 1 TB.

  But even if the controller SATA isn't limited to a certain size of HARD drive, there is always a small risk of compatibility problems between the BIOS and the new device.

• Satellite C855-1GQ - warning of hard drive failure

  Hello

  Suddenly my laptop started to show me "hard drive failure warnings" and honestly, I have no idea what it takes to this topic please someone can help me.

  Symptom: The PredictFailure flag is set on the disk
  Cause: A logical disk has the failure to predict SMART bit set.
  Details: This disc is facing a problem and predicted that the drive will fail

  Symptom: failure
  Cause: A device reported 'Not OK' status.
  Details: The device, hard drive, reports a value of bad condition. This device won't be available until the problem is resolved. The Plug and Play ID for this device is \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0.

  My advice is to make data backup and contact the nearest Toshiba service as soon as possible. They can help you with it. Warranty is valid also if they want to replace the HARD drive it will be free of charge.

• 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.

• 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.

• HP Pavilion Slimline S5: Internal HARD drive failure, PC does not start

  Drive HARD internal of my HP Pavilion Slimline S5 failed and died recently (bought in 2011). My HP warranty is long gone.

  The splash screen has shown this message:

  1720-SMART hard detects an imminent failure

  Due to lack of player: SATA0

  Failed attributes: # 05

  I have several questions about this:

  1. Is it only caused by HARD drive failure? I want to replace it myself, but I don't really know if there are other parts to replace. Or it will be better to bring it to the computer shop to do carefully check?
  2. I can replace it with Seagate Barracuda 3.5 "(7200 RPM, 1 TB, SATA 3 or 6)? I think that the current HARD drive is Hitachi.
  3. I still need to transfer Windows OEM once the HARD drive is replaced?

  Thanks in advance.

  According to the packing of the Seagate, it might come with the software.  But if it is OEM drive then found the software by clicking HERE.  In general, I use a USB adapter for hard drive to clone if the PC will not support an additional drive.  Given that a number of incomplete model for the PC, it is difficult to find accurate info, but the Pavilion Slimline S5 I checked all have a motherboard with additional SATA ports.  Just have a spare SATA cable and power on the power port and try the cloning software.  Make sure that the drive is not touch a conductive element.  Usually, I place the additional reader on a cardboard box.

  Install the new drive as a replacement for the existing drive and connect everything as it is now.  Then connect the old drive in the manner discussed.  Boot from the CD created with cloning tools.  If the old drive is cloned stll, then when the software is finished, remove the old drive connections to see if the drive can start the computer.  If this is not successful, try to run the recovery screen (F11) BIOS boot manager.  If that does not work, use the Recovery DVD set brand when the computer was new.  If you did this, or lost them, then see THATto order a series.
