• Equium A100-147 - clicking noise from the HARD drive

  For awhile, I had clicking noise from the HARD drive and when the laptop could not, I assumed the reader was packed but trying a replacement nothing happens. I get a blue light for battery and a blue light (low) for the supply of direct current, but nothing for power or disc. However, when I plugged in an external drive yesterday it starts fine and when I unplugged the laptop continued to work the internal drive. But even once this morning he died and will not start. I read that the BIOS can stop recognizing the drive or maybe that the settings are not being saved when it is off. Could it be the motherboard battery?

  > reading the BIOS can stop recognizing the drive or maybe that the settings are not being saved when it is off

  Enter the Bios (press f2 at startup) and check if it recognizes the hard disk. You can see on the home page or the boot option in the Bios.

• 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.

• Satellite 5100 503: unable to boot from the CD drive

  Hey all,.

  I have a HUGE problem with my 5100-503 Satellite.

  Windows XP connects and then it disconnects right away.

  I found a fix for this at: [url] http://www.mcse.ms/message616432.html {/ url}

  The problem is that I can not boot from a cd, because the BIOS is configured to boot from the hard drive first.

  I get into the BIOS. I read on a few websites on the net than on machines 5xxx Satellite, you can only enter the bios through windows! ..., BUT windows does not work so I can't enter the bios. I can't even use the Windows installation CD when I boot, because once again the HD is set to boot first.

  When I press ESC while turning on the laptop and then press F1, I have the option load default BIOS values. I did, but the HD is still set to start first!

  What I can do... I can't reinstall windows or get into regedit to fix the paper / log problem!

  Help!

  Hi Jamie,

  Normally, you can select a boot device selection menu when you turn on your laptop. You can do this by holding down the F12 key when you turn on. Hold it down until the phone beeps or the device selection menu appears.

  If this does not work then you can try the shortened Toshiba habit that is to hold the 'C' button in the power that would then cause the laptop to boot from the CD drive. Of course, there must be a bootable CD inserted first.

  Kind regards

• Satellite A200 - Crackle sound comes from the HARD drive

  Hello

  I have the Satellite A200. When I start my laptop the patter comes from the hard drive.
  Someone knows something about it?

  Thank you

  In my view there s nothing wrong with your HARD drive.
  My drive HARD click every time while accessing data on the laptop and everything run ok for 3 years.

  But that doesn t mean that there is no hardware problem with your HARD drive. Usually it's not easy to tell when a HARD drive wound begins to malfunction. My first HARD drive died after 6 years of use. But the other HARD drive died after 1.5 years. This damage was covered by the warranty.

  Finally, I would recommend backup your data always on an external HARD disk to prevent data damage.

  Good bye

  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.

  Hi herikhi,
   
  Change the start of the base system (Input Output) BIOS setting to boot from the hard drive.
   
  Consult the manual of the manufacturer, to do the same thing.

• My main computer crashed and the data has been retrieved from the hard drive, including all of my Outlook Express dbx files

  I'll provide too much information because those of us who are computer knuckleheads think that everything is important since it is a mystery to us.

  My main computer crashed and the data has been retrieved from the hard drive, including all of my Outlook Express dbx files. There are four years of e-mails in these files and critical that I be able to open them.

  My only working computer running XP. It has Outlook Express is installed on it and was once used for e-mail, but not more and not implemented with my ISP to send or receive if it matters at all. Other that the sending and receiving of all the other functions of the OE program appear to be operational.

  I have read many explanations on how to open the files dbx on different sites - all is completely different and most seem well beyond my skill level.

  There is a fairly painless way to open these files? I don't want to try anything that could damage them. Please... any solution please guide me through in its simplest form - I am 64 but pretend you are explaining the process to a 7 year old. Yes, I'm that lame!

  Sorry for writing a novel and thank you to all who take their time to help the ignorant!

  I advise you to immediately copies of your DBX files restored. Save the duplicates in a place safe, and don't mess with them.
  Then try using one of the various tutorials that you have found on the Internet by using a copy of your DBX files restored.
  I did it a few times, but years ago and I DBX http://www.techrepublic.com/forums/questions/how-i-open-corrupted-dbx-files-in-oe/ visualization tool
  You just continue to make attempts, using a tutorial after another.
  As long as you have these unchanged copies of backup of your DBX files, you should survive it - other than frustration. Email PC remains a mess.

• (Redirected) Cannot boot from the HARD drive on dell n5010 with SSD and HARD drive installed

  I have my old dell n5010 (15R Inspiron) with SSD (Samsung EVO 840 120 G) installed on the main drive Bay and the HDD (Samsung HJJ 500 G) on the optical drive Bay.

  It is a typical way to add an SSD on such an old laptop (bought from dell.com.cn in 2011).

  My Windows 10 operating system has been installed on the SSD using Samsung Data Migration software, so the previous C drive was pointless. So I formatted and installed an operating system Ubuntu 14.04 on it, hoping the grub OSs double beginning located on the HARD disk.

  However, I find no the Dell bios boot option to boot from the HARD drive installed in my optical drive Bay. All the choices are 'Hard Drive', 'Network' and 'Diagnostic '.

  But I was definitely sure that my bios program has detected the SSD and HDD with information on the main menu of the bios.

  And the LED on the optical drive Bay was immediately once I pressed the Start button on my laptop.

  As a general rule, all things were right except for options of the bios boot.

  Is there a way I can boot from HDD (with installed Ubuntu) while remaining has my SSD on the main drive Bay? I don't want to swap their positions, because the SSD is super fast on the main drive Bay.

  I have alse won't migrate 10 Windows to the HARD drive and reinstall Ubuntu on the SSD, because I'd like my windows be loaded quickly.

  Someone at - it the same problem with me?

  Any suggestion is appreciated!

  Whenever I have start browsing my laptop satellite c660 11 k there will be a kind of noise (hard to explain but beep like noise using come from older printers or fax machines) from my hard drive.

  Audible only when there is pin drop silence in the room. When the laptop was new there was no noise and later he started to come when I open windows navigation 4-5 and the sound comes now even if I start browsing. My hard drive is defective?

  Please can someone advice me on this.

  Hello

  My HARD drive sometimes creates similar sounds.
  I'm not quite sure about this sound but I save data always because some time ago one of my hard drives is dead and I could lose all my data so I would not have some backups created in the past of m

  I recommend doing the same thing
  Who knows what s wrong with the HARD drive, but I know with certainty that sooner or later all hard disks will die

• Satellite A200 - 1 M 5: sounds from the HARD disk that is not regular

  Dear,

  I bought a new Satellite A200 - 1 M 5 1 week there are, but I have noticed a noise coming from your hard drive that is not regular, whenever the drive is currently in use, there is a noise from him. It's weird, I had Satellite phones precedents and never faced that.
  is this normal in this series of satellites? or damage my hard drive? Although it works very well so far.

  If anyone has an idea about this, please let me know it.

  Appreciate it.

  > Whenever the drive is currently in use, there is a noise from him. It's weird
  Who is normal behavior that the HARD drive makes sounds while working.
  On some disks, the sound is louder and some drives are quieter.

  My laptop comes with a 100 GB HARD drive and I noticed that this HARD drive work harder than the previous 40 GB HARD disk.

  I don t think that there might be a problem with your HARD drive. It of new.
  So, in my opinion you should t be worried.

  and if the HARD drive is going to die your warranty covers the replacement ;)

• 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
