• HARD drive external (E :) hangs and then said: "Not responding" when trying to backup.)

  Original title: backup on an external hard drive

  I'm trying to back up my files on an "External" hard drive It's me E: drive as the location, but it just hangs up there says "not responding". I tried to do an "Archive" in the "My Documents" folder, I saw files transfer, however all my names of my files are now blue in 'My documents' whatever that means? What drive letter should go a hard drive 'external '? I should be able to click on that drive and see what is on my external hard drive, but it doesn't "not responding"...

  External drive (E :) will not name until you give him one.  It is possible that the disk has not been formatted yet.

  Open disk management (start > run > diskmgmt.msc > OK).
  You will see something like this:

  

  You will have a line for 'Disk 2' but which shows next to your "disc 1". Please provide ALL information in the "Disk 1" line.

  For example, if you had the image above, the response from you I'm looking for would be:

  Disc 1 - Basic - 186,31 GB - online
  Ghost images (D :) - 93,13 GB NTFS - healthy (active))

• Re: Satellite A300 sometimes fails to start

  My Satellite A300 sometimes fails on start when displaying a logo of Toshiba.
  I don't know why. Y at - it a touch to show a p.o.s.t. tests?

  Sorry for my English.

  Hello

  You can change in the BIOS the option to boot from normal to fast.
  I think that this will disable the Red Toshiba log and show you the post screen.
  But to be honest, I don't know if this could be help full.
  In any case, if the laptop is unable to pass on the MESSAGE, something might be wrong on the motherboard; the modules, memory example or similar

• Re: Satellite A40 - hard drive error - will not start

  My friend bought this laptop in April 2007 and has been very happy with it until about a month when he stopped startup in windows xp.

  At the start, she now gets the message

  "PXE - E61 media test failure - check the cable for.
  "PXE - M0F outgoing intel boot agent"
  "Insert system disk in drive."
  "Press a key when you are ready.

  and then the laptop does not start in windows.

  I thought that the hard drive can have detached, so I took it out and he handed in a State, but in vain.

  I also tried to reinstall with the recovery CD but get the following error message
  status «»
  GDISK (E) no such fixed disk 1 "

  It is followed by * ERROR *.
  Error number 11030
  invalid message destination drive
  X;

  I ran a Toshiba (or he could have Hitachi) utility disk that I burned on a cd and went up on the audit boot.

  It said there are problems on Toshiba MK4025GAS, which is the hard drive. details coincide with what it actually says on the disc.

  The BIOS sees the drive start on as he is listed as the master, with the cd as the secondary drive.
  Therefore, is it true that the drive is broken. If so - can it be repaired or is there another solution.

  I tried Googling the error message and there are conflicting messages on this issue, so your help would be very appreciated.
  It seems crazy that the reader can break after only 18 months - was there a defective batch?

  If that's the case Toshiba offers a replacement or it will cost a lot?

  Thank you

  Post edited by: Nashy - sorry - it was bought in 2007 is NOT 2006

  In your case, the HARD drive is certainly defective and you need to replace. Satellite A40 is pretty old laptop without guarantee valid and there is no replacement from Toshiba.

  Just buy a new HARD drive. Hard drives for this good old classic are not more expensive.

• Satellite A305 - hard drive corruption

  Hi, recently my laptop crashed. When I tried to reboot it failed. When I tried to go into safe mode, it hangs while loading. When I tried to go into the Startup Repair, it crashed on the laundry. The only thing I could get was the BIOS. I tried to recover by using the cd to format and reinstall and it failed on the laundry. I stuck in a WinXP cd to do the formatting, and although it is charged, he says he couldn't see all hard drives. Despite the fact that the BIOS can see them. So I guess that my hard drive has failed and bought a new drive.

  I installed the new drive and everything seems to work properly. I used for the recovery CD to reinstall the VISTA installation and proceeded to make the necessary windows updates. A few hours later and only a few updates on the left, the computer has crashed. I restarted and all of a sudden I'm getting the same problem. All the hard drive becomes inaccessible.

  It is possible that I have just bought a bum the HDD in the store but I seriously doubt it. The replacement drive had the same number of laps (5400) and other specifications except a new was greater (original was 200, new 320 GB).

  Any ideas?

  It's really interesting story. I can't imagine new HARD drive can be destroyed so easily, but anything is possible.

  When you enter the BIOS settings, set it to the setting, can you start again the installation of recovery?

• Question about password on the new Satellite A105 HARD drive

  I am the owner of a Satellite A105 and the hard drive was failing. I got a new hard drive but before I gave up on the current one I decided to wipe it clean and a few tools to see if it was a way to recover.

  Well, when wiping clean it restarts and then he showed me a message saying "password type of HARD drive internal" or something similar. I do not know the password so I can't use the hard disk more (or is there a way to reset the password?), but before you install the new hard drive I want to know if there could be a problem installing the new hard drive in the laptop without knowing the previous password.

  I mean, it locks the new hard drive or is it completely independent of the installed hard drive? The one I have is brand new, and I want to know if I plug it in and from the laptop are all I have to do?

  Hello

  If the HARD drive password has been activated and you don t usually know this password then the HARD drive is locked and can no longer be used.
  It s simply not accessible and it s not possible to remove this password.

  > I want to know if there could be a problem installing the new hard drive in the laptop without knowing the previous password. I mean, it locks the new hard drive or is it completely independent of the installed hard drive?
  I think that he should t be any problem with a new HARD drive.
  As I said the password is stored in the sector specials on the HARD drive. The old password should not exist on the new HARD drive (if the password has not been set).

• Satellite A30: HARD drive, modem and USB controller

  Hi, I have problems with my laptop A30. The HARD drive looks like it will fail (bad sectors) utility that I downloaded on the Hitachi site tells me that it is a hardware failure.

  I am also unable to use my modem that I also get a "cannot open port ' error even if everything looks fine in Device Manager and I have a problem with a USB controller that is apparently not entirely installed but I can not find the drivers for it!

  I am not a happy customer of Toshiba and it seems that there is a general failure with these the 30 GB Hitachi hard drives!

  Retro Hi,

  Maybe not much consolation, but my original 30 GB hard drive has been replaced after only 6 weeks of use. The replacement lasted 8 weeks and the third disc rotate a little better at 16 weeks. Readers were a mixture of Toshiba and Hitachi drives. After the failure of the third car, I decided to buy a bigger HDD (80 GB) and install it myself rather than lose the laptop for another two weeks so that it has been repaired. Then, I bought a new smaller HARD drive that I have installed in an external enclosure (USB) which I use now for regular backups of entire system weekly.

  The HARD drive inside my A30 notebook on the right side directly on the optical drive, and there was a noticeable temperature increase when I work with the optical drive. I have a theory for pets, this increase in heat may adversely affect the HARD drive at times.

  The last drive (a Toshiba MK8025GAS) is in place for 7 months but Norton Ghost has recently begun to report bad sectors so it looks like a new drive could soon be made to order.

• Satellite 110CS - hard drive not shown in BIOS

  Hi, new to the forum.

  The other day, I bought a Toshiba Satellite 110CS on eBay and it arrived all ok, I looked in the Device Manager on Windows 95 (ouch that's old) and he said that the controller hard drive or something was not installed correctly I preceded to install the correct drivers, then I restarted the laptop to see that now the bios or indeed the machine itself can not find a hard drive.

  What should I do so that it can locate the hard drive?

  Help, please

• The NVIDIA NDIS IO Control Driver service failed to start

  NVIDIA NDIS IO Control Driver service failed to start due to the following error: the system cannot find the specified file.

  It's the correct driver.

  Ooohhh, you see in the event Log?

  I looked in the NVIDIA forums and found this:

  I have some NVIDIA cards, but not this one, so I can't recreate and test the suggestion...

  If the RemoveNvNdis.exe does not work (I think he must disable or remove completely the service), looks like he's some NVIDIA service that tries to start when you reboot, it cannot be started for some reason any.  Looks like you don't need to start.

  If you can find it in the Services of XP, you could check the properties and set the startup type to disabled, restart and see what things look like.  (Do you know how?)

  If the mere presence of the Service in your list of Services, then you mind, you can also delete the Service entirely (I want to it later, just to be ordered if it is always hanging out).

• Installation of Vista on the new hard drive was interrupted, and now I can not start the computer

  So I decided that I need a bigger hard drive. I got a 500 GB hard drive, so I have it PLOPPED in my Acer Aspire 5517 with my vista boot drive, turned on and began to go through the process. Once he got to the phase 'installation complete' it seems to take a while, so I let it run all night. Once I got up, it was on a black screen with the mouse, I let stand a few more minutes but still nothing. I turned off and started it expects to find to return at the beginning of the installation, but instead he began to start from what is on the hard drive at this time. It got to the screen with the loading bar and the sign 'Microsoft Corporation'. The loading bar was very frigidity and stopped and started randomly. I let it do this while I went to school, but when I got home, it was always the same loading screen. I rebooted and tried to start in safe mode, but when I do it it stops at crcdisk.sys, and never forwarded charges. I tried to do the reset thing factory start it but that doesn't seem to work. My other puny hard drive still works, but the other does not. I searched the internet but have not seen any other problem like it. I want to just start completely clean of my new 500 GB. Please help!

  Hi James,

  1. What is the number of brand and model of the hard disk of 500 GB?

  2. How did the 500 GB hard drive connected to the computer? It is external or internal?

  To troubleshoot the unable to start the issue to cause corrupted driver, some files that can not be loaded during the startup process must be fixed or restored. So, let's check the disk by using the Windows Recovery Console.

  (a) put the Windows Vista installation disc in the disc drive, and then start the computer.

  (b) press a key when the message "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD ".

  (c) select a language, a time, a currency and a keyboard or another input method, and then click Next.

  (d) click on repair your computer.

  (e) (click on the operating system you want to repair), and then click Next.

  (f) in the System Recovery Options dialog box, click command prompt. Type chkdsk c:/f to try to correct the errors.

  (g) Note: answer them when chkdsk asks you if you want to check the disk next boot Vista

  (h) after the recording of the disc, and then run sfc/scannow to check the corruption of system files.

  Important: when running chkdsk on the drive hard if bad sectors are found on the disk hard when chkdsk attempts to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.

  Check out TechNet help links and check if that helps:
