• New Satellite L650-108 HARD drive died

  Hello

  Two months ago, I bought the laptop mentioned above and while using a few days ago, he went suddenly slow and crashed with a blue screen error. He said he would restart and when he did, he couldn't find the hard drive. I was in the BIOS and it is not listed there, I tried it on another laptop and it didn't work, I tried to put in a basket and that has not worked and I tried a few CD bootable (including Ubuntu Live) and none of them could see the HARD drive. Are there alternative methods that I could use to try to repair?

  As he is still relatively new and under warranty, that the process would be send to Toshiba and in-depth how are their controls on the drive? I don't know how much confidence I'm from a stranger, perhaps rooting through the details on my hard drive of things I've heard in the past!

  Thank you.

  > Are there alternative methods, that I could use to try to resolve this?

  For me its very clear number and don t think you need other methods to check the HARD drive.
  If the HARD drive is not in the BIOS, this means that the HARD drive is dead and must be replaced.

  The laptop is under warranty so get in touch with Toshiba ASP (authorized service provider), your country, to get the new HARD drive.

• Satellite A135: Vista will not start after replacing HARD drive using the recovery disk

  Toshiba Satellite A135-s7403 HARD drive failed, I have replaced the 80 GB with a WD Scorpio blue 250 GB hitachi.

I know that my drive are good, as I adjusted used then about a month when I upgraded the memory because the original memory 512 MB was not enough o well running vista.

• Satellite A300-GN1 - HARD drive load something every time

  Hello

  When the pc loads up on top of the office, after about 1 minute HARD drive starts to load something 15-3-minutes (maybe check out or almost).

  Also when I finished no matter what disk HARD game starts to load something.
  Maybe someone knew how to fix it?
  I thought that it is auto defrag problem, but it's not...

  Vista Edition sp1 family.

  I guess there is nothing wrong with your laptop.
  I think that it is a feature of Vista.
  Vista always indexes the HARD drive to improve the desktop search.

  If you do not use this feature, you can disable it.
  Use the command Services.msc in the Start Run menu.
  Scroll of double-click 'Windows Search' it and mark it as disabled

  But personally, I would not recommend disabling because it would slow down the search.

• Satellite C660-1HP - hard drive crashed in 2 days

  I bought a Toshiba laptop(C660-1CV) to a local dealer just before two days. I had loaded VMware with couple of VMs and other important software.

  Despite my company insisting lenevo I went for Toshiba because I trust the brand and I had a real experience with Toshiba. Today morning after two days of buying laptop, the hard drive crashed and I got a black screen with no guest OS, nothing. My dealer said that he cannot do what I have to consider service of Al Futtiam centre. The hard drive just re-connected service center guys and it didn't work, he was immediately made a statement that the hard drive needs to be replaced and it will be another 4 to 5 days. He said to take a backup of your data, I have to pay 99 AED. Isn't it strange? My own laptop which is just 2 days has crashed and I have to pay to get my data. The technical guy has no other troubleshooting procedures except reconnect the hard drive.

  I care about her climbing at a correct level in Toshiba. If anyone has contacts in the region of the UNITED Arab Emirates forward to me.

  Hi pmavani,

  I'm sorry to hear that this HARD drive died after 2 days that are not normally but these things can happen, especially with the HARD drive, it is a mechanical part. But the don t worry that this case is covered by the warranty in order to obtain free of charge a new HDD to an authorized service and the guy said that it takes 4 or 5 days. It s ok for the laptop can be fixed within a week.

  > He says to take a backup of your data, I have to pay 99 AED. Isn't it strange?
  No, that s not quite strange. Backup doesn t warranty coverage, you should do it yourself. Which is the reason why you must install and configure the backup software before doing anything.

  I have an IMac with time machine and time capsule. If I buy a large external hard drive can back up all my Lightroom Info but also everything else to go to time machine, & that it saves on hard drive new, after he made a backup to time capsule?  This way, I would have two backups.

  Hi marinersr,

  I'm not sure the backup machine capsule/time, but according to me, that it backs up all data on your hard drive.

  Yes, you can back up the Lightroom catalog on the hard disk external.

  You can set the time of the backup under the catalog settings > backup > he would invite to the backup, when you exit Lightroom > click on select next to the location and specify the location as your new hard drive.

  If you want images of both original backup, you can configure to create a second copy of the images on your external drive during import.

• Satellite A300 - how to start HARD drive recovery after own OS insatallation

  Hi guys.

  I have a question.
  I have a Toshiba Satellite A300, which came with Windows Vista.
  Normally I have the recovery with the normally pre-installed utility partition.
  After that I formatted the system partition, I installed a clean and fresh Windows 7 copy.

  My question is this.
  Since the recovery partition does not get soiled with, is there not a way to install the disk recovery utility hard back in recovery of Windows of F8 before the boot options?

  Please don't tell me that I need to have the recovery disk.
  I already did, I just want to find a solution because it is not that hard for someone who accidentally formatted the system partition and had not created the disks, but the recovery partition. My guess is to do some modifications in the files of the Windows recovery environment that are launched when you use the option to repair my computer at startup, because normally, HARD drive recovery utility appears as one of its tools-options.

  The problem is that I don't have to where these files are, maybe (C:\boot?)
  Currently, I am trying to see if a facility upgrade of windows 7 on windows vista will keep options for hard drive recovery then maybe I will find what it takes.

  All suggestions are welcome!
  Thank you for your time.

  OK, just a hint more, I found what is happening with the recovery environment, and which must be replaced to include more tools...
  This article was really helpful:
  http://www.techplat.com/2010/02/12/how-to-replace-default-Windows-7-recovery-environment-in-diagnostic-and-recovery-toolset/

• A33 satellite will not start on the hard drive even after the installation of the new system

  Hello, I need help, my A33 does not start on a hard drive. It is to see the drive hard in the bios and even by operating the drive when you go to install. But as soon as it will boot to the hard drive, it is just a black screen. It is very strange that you can see the hard drive in the bios and even with a diagnostics disk. I can see, scan it and check it by starting with a diagnostic disk, but when I start the computer, it doesn't do anything.

  Help please!

  Stand by. Your ad is so confused. When you read can you understand what you wrote?

  BIOS recognizes the HARD drive correctly, no?
  When you use bootable disk for the installation of the OS is properly recognized HDD?
  You can install OS using the original recovery disc or by using the Microsoft installation disc?

• HARD drive click after update Bios on Satellite A100

  Hello.
  I just did a bios update for my Satellite A100 PSAA9, and after that I started to hear a few clicks on the hard drive, from time to time. They appear very often, but I would like to know why they started!

  The bios update was published in 26/11/2007.
  Does anyone have the same problem?

  Thank you.

  I put t think it has something to do with the BIOS update.
  I put t don't know how old you HDD is but maybe that click concern only the HARD drive hardware problem

  There are several times in my HARD disk created similar clique and sounds but it s runs great
  I didn't noticed any hardware problem however, we cannot exclude a hardware problem and therefore, you should back up important data to prevent the files from damage.

  Best regards

• Re: Satellite L650 - 15G - controller PCI required network driver

  Hello

  Sometimes I reinstall windows 7 as my hard drive internal has been corrupted. If I want to install the drivers manually. I use the Satellite L650-15 G and Windows 7 64 bit operating system.

  While checking the Device Manager, I see an error displayed as missing for the device PCI simple communications controller driver. What should I do?

  Guide me please to find a solution. Also, I installed driver detective and it showed many drivers need to be updated a few missing and like that.

  Can I trust a third-party application?
  Please help me...

  According to specification for laptop, your laptop computer came with preinstalled Win7 64 bit, so you must use the recovery for the installation of the OS image, but I assume that you didn't create drive recovery, right?

  I put t know which device, it can be, but you can try to identify this unknown device, following the tips outlined on http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=78
  Thank you for posting the result and we can help you find the right driver.

  As a general rule you don t need some third party software part. All you need to do is install utilities, tools, and Toshiba drivers available al. Important is to install according to the order of the proper installation. If you need assistance you are welcome.

  You n t need some updates to the driver. All you need to install at the end are updated Windows but important updates only.

• Can satellite A300d-16W - I use HARD drive recovery after installing Win XP?

  I formatted my PC and installed XP. Can I reinstall Vista using HARD drive recovery?

  > I formatted my PC and install XP

  No, you cannot use the recovery HARD drive after installing Win XP because looks like you have formatted the HARD drive and the HARD disk partition has been erased.

  So you need to use the Toshiba Recovery disk that I hope, you created before you formatted the HARD drive.

• Satellite L670 - hard drive dead after only 8 months

  Hello

  This morning I return my laptop due to defective hard drive problem. After 8 months, he is already dead.

  The positives are: I'm still under warranty and the second the software toshiba hilighted me from time to time, allowing me to back up my data before the crash. TKS Toshiba for this very useful tool.

  The question is: how a hard drive die that fast after fews month only?

  Bad luck or bad use? I wonder.

  I wish to have feedback from those L670 who owns the same model (windows 7), to understand if this problem is common or if I was unfortunately concerned.

  Also, if there are possible solutions to avoid the stress of the HD for daily use? As for example, reduce writing on this subject (save blu - ray using AnyDvD HD on hd, then cut & paste for external hard drive), or connect too often external hard drive in order to avoid the extra electricity if necessary?

  In the future, I have to perform chkdsk more often? Defrag? If Yes, how often?

  This is my 3rd phone dying, Sony VAIO = mothercard dead after 1.2 years, Fujitsu Amilo xi = exploded after 3 years and now Toshiba HD after 8 months.

  900EUR up to 1600EUR, I do not see significant resistance of one of these models, Sony was the badest ever in terms of longevity of the video card and compatibility (unplayable games after 2 months, no update of the driver), keyboard 'paint' was a mess with deterioration after fews month compared to Fujitsu and Toshiba (no points). Toshiba L670 most recent, was the best in terms of game compatibility.

  What should do? Stop buying the laptop or use only fews hours a day with a PC on top?
  For time beeing I can't afford to have a PC + a computer laptop that I'm unemployed, surviving with 10EUR per day.
  time to find a new job.

  Despite this, I managed to buy the new book of the cooler Zelman for my Toshiba 40/50EUR all about, but it did not help apparently.

  TKS for your comments about life duration L670 and particularly problem HD + best use to protect it.

  Guillaume

  In my opinion the answer is clear: no chance.

  In any case, don t think too much on the use of the laptop. Cell phone is designed to operate for a long period, then there is no reason to reduce the time to use on your Toshi.
  I use my laptop to work on a daily basis and it works at least 10 hours a day, sometimes one night too many.
  Just be careful that your laptop is placed on the desktop, the cooling fans must not be blocked by what it is.
  All that s.
