Satellite L40: How can I recover the files from the hard drive

Hello

Can someone help me please. About a week ago I started to have a clicking sound coming from my laptop Satellite L40. My laptop froze and when I restarted, I was directed to the system configuration with a message at the bottom saying
"Pri Master Hard Disk Drive SMART status bad, Backup and replace."
Press F2 to assume. »

I pressed F2, but I don't have any idea what to do?

Can someone tell me how do I backup my files until my HDD disappeared completely or if it was can I use another device to get down them.

I tried using the recovery disk, but the disk does not respond?

Help, please

Pete

Hello

This message looks like a warning of S.M.A.R.T. notification
This means that your HARD disk will eventually fail.
It can happen in the next few days or it can't happen for a few months but the SMART feature has detected that the drive is wrong then it should be replaced as soon as possible.
It seems that your laptop is not very old, so the warranty should cover all replacements.

I see only one way to access and back up the data. Eventually, you could buy an external enclosure SATA USB HARD drive and was able to connect the HARD drive to another computer.
I don't know if you will be able to access the HARD drive because of the failure, but if you want you can try this m.

Good luck

  • How can I transfer encrypted files from old hard drive removed (transfer windows easy?)

    Hello

    I'm trying to get some files off my old hard drive encrypted. He has xp on it, and I can't start on my new computer. Since it is a separate, apparently, I can't do either windows easy transfer. Is it possible for me to locate the certificate and key, or to transfer files with the key and the certificate on my new computer (I have password from the old computer if I need that)? Can I somehow run WET on this hard drive for keys/certificates can be transferred. This seems to be a common problem from what I have read.
    Otherwise, do you have ideas on how to start my old xp disk on my new system without reformatting?
    Very important to get these files.
    Thank you!

    First of all, I assume you mean encrypted files (EFS, Encrypting File System).  These files are encrypted with a key that is still encrypted in your system like a certificate.  In order to read your encrypted on any other system files, you must restore the certificate from a backup.  The short article is mandatory for anyone considering the use of EFS:

  • How can I recover my files from my broken Macbook Pro (13 in. end 2011)?

    Hi all

    I had some problems charger abroad and had to use a charger of mash-up the top of a friend. The charger has ended up working but finally died and also killed my macbook with it (do not start or accept the charge of a new charger). The battery indicator still works. I had checked it free of charge from abroad and the iStore has stated that it is from a broken logicboard. I've already replaced the laptop but I would like to recover the hard disk or files, because they have all my pictures and videos of my year abroad with my girlfriend. I'm not really worried to recover the laptop, just files or hard drive.

    Thanks again

    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.

    Here another thread about the installation of the SATA drivers!
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=26040

    You must include the * Intel Matrix Storage Manager * during the XP installation process.
    As far as I know you have to press the F6 key to include the external USB FDD drive driver.
    Once you have included the SATA driver * DON T format the drive HARD * or create all partitions because that would erase the included driver!

    Another possibility to include the SATA drivers is the use of the * software to nLite.
    By using this software, you could include the SATA driver in the new created XP CD.
    And then you could boot from the new CD.

    > no initialization of SPARCFichiers of hard disk
    > can not load hard drive

    This error message appears because you didn't boot from the bootable CD and/or the operating system has not been installed on the HARD drive and the laptop I wanted to boot from the HARD drive.

  • Satellite 1900-303: can I put the hard drive 120 GB

    I have a S1900-303 and I think to raise the 120 GB hard drive. What are the problems, if any, are that I meet and I can do froom the Toshiba startup disk or do I just install XP from a XP disc?

    Hello

    That I myself remember Satellite 1900-303 has been delivered with the 30 GB HARD drive.
    So, in my opinion, 120 GB HARD drive size is too big and I presume that the BIOS of the laptop will not recognize the HARD drive!

    I think you can use a 40 GB, 60 GB and a 80 GB HARD disk.

    PS: you must search the HARD disk with the IDE (ATA-5) increased!

    Good luck and have a nice day

  • Aspire ZC - 606 how can I replace the hard drive

    Aspire ZC - 606, that will not start. It emits a sound once and asking you "Reboot and select proper boot device" or insert the bootable media...

    I can start the installation and the drive is missing, only the CD/DVD is here.

    I need to pull the HDD and backup all the data on it and replace it.

    I can't find anywhere that shows me the removal process.

    I replaced several HARD drives in all-in-one but have always found some instructions.

    Someone help?

    Pete

    before changing the HARD drive, I would try another SATA cable, is the part number: 50.U86D5.002

    to open the back of your ZC, you must open the 2 feet at the bottom of the back cover and unscrew the 2 screws; with a PIN that you had to push into the small hole in the DVD player until he slip; Then, you can lift the back cover.

  • How can I recover my files from hard drive on a clean hard disk, Diskpart

    I tried to install Windows 8 Preview, however, I kept getting a message saying that Windows is to not install the disk hard because it was in the GPT format or something. When this happened, a forum on the internet suggested that I use DiskPart to clean the disc. I did as he said, not realizing that it would literally clean off my hard drive. I am trying to use another hard disk and install a (overview of Win8) OS on it so that I can access the old hard drive and retrieve it using a program called TestDisk http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk

    I hope that it will work, but I would like to comment on this and maybe some VIP tips.
    At this point, any advice is good advice.
    Thank you

    First of all, I would highly recommend NOT to use Windows 8 for your recovery efforts.  New systems of operating have incompatibilities with the generation previous tools and utilities - witness to the fact that all of the major anti-virus companies update their products to Windows 8.  Stay with a published known operating system.

    Then, realizing that what you do for the old hard disk decreases the chance that you will be able to recover the files.  You would ideally take the disc, put it in an antistatic bag and ship it to a recovery company data that you would charge probably hundreds of thousands of dollars to recover your data, but was probably a chance of recovering 100% as long as the player has not been written to since the diskpart session.

    Having never been in the position that you are in because my computer gets backed up every night, I can't recommend a recovery product based on personal use. I've seen a good many people recommend Recuva (http://www.piriform.com/recuva) and it would probably do the work for you... but remember once again, play you with the reader, becomes it is likely that you will not be able to recover at all.

  • How can I recover a file from a device?

    Hi all
    I need to recover the ODB file that fits in the storage card from one peripheral to somewhere in the server or to a local win32 client.

    . ODB is storagecard.
    Lite works on linux
    backend is on linux.

    client device is connected via gprs.

    Mobile admin, under the command, I see an option saying 'Recover a file device' but no help on the topic entry.

    Thank you

    The file would be very likely in $ directory ORACLE_HOME/mobile_oc4j/j2ee/mobileserver/applications/mobileserver/devmgr. I think that the name of the directory would be identical to the device id.
