• Windows hard disk error message

  I just got a strange error message that popped up while I was surfing around Facebook.  Before you do anything, I want to be sure that it is legitimate and not somebody trying to make me install a virus or something like that.  And if it is legitimate, I want to know what I would do to this topic.

  The error message says:

  "Windows has detected a hard disk problem.

  Back up your files immediately to prevent loss of information, and then ask the computer manufacturer to determine if you need to repair or replace the disk. »

  Then it gives me two options:

  "Start the backup process."

  "Ask me later".

  If the drive fails before the following caveat, you may lose all the programs and documents on the disk. »

  So, if I click on the button "Show invisible characters", he says:

  "For immediate action."

  Because a disk failure will make you lose all programs, files and documents on the disk, you should back up your important information immediately.  Try not to use your computer until you have repaired or replaced the hard drive.

  Which drive is a failure?

  The following hard disks are fault condition:

  Name of the disk: Seagate FreeAgent XTreme

  Volume: I:\ »

  I am running Windows Vista 64-bit and the hard drive in question is a disk Seagate external, as indicated by the error message.  Also I screenshotted the message box if this description was not good enough.

  Hello

  Disk problems can take seriously very quickly so I carefully check the disc now and do not forget
  to keep redundant backups of your important data (use several methods).

  Inside the Windows - Regular or Safe Mode (repeatedly press F8 as you start).

  Run checkdisk - schedule it to run at the next startup, then apply OK then restart your way.

• Cannot enter Windows, hard disk error

  Hi, I have a HP G62 - a31SO Notebook PC and yesterday it froze and now I can't get into Windows 7. I did the test drive at startup and got failure ID ' Q0AMXT - 54T 666 - 9XL03G - 60XP03. Now, I don't have my warranty anymore but I really want to know what the problem is. I can't reinstall with a custom, Setup it stops on "loading". I really want to enter the HARD disk to back up the stuff I have.

  Sure I have posted this in the wrong forum area, but I didn't really know where she should have been posted.

  SATA I and II will work, not sure about SATA III.

• Windows hard disk recommended Dimensions?

  Hello

  Long story short, a couple of our Windows virtual machines run lack of space on the C:\ drive.  To avoid this problem in the future, is there a recommended size for hard data Windows?  FYI the VMs in trouble have a 40 GB hard drive, perhaps something close to 60 GB would be a better fit?  I am considering getting new virtual machines have a C:\ strictly for Windows drive and a separate hard drive for the 'data '.  That's probably what I should have done from the first day.

  This raises another question, is it possible to increase the size of a disk Windows C:\ with VMware?  Or are you a bit stuck with this size?

  Accoring to extpart documentation , it is supposed to be used on basic disks. I have not tried it on a dynamic disk and wouldn't recommend it.  Attach the drive to a different approach of diskpart VM and use would be probably preferred with a dynamic disk - that or use gparted to do.

  I do all the Windows boot volumes basic disks and have not ran across a reason yet to justify / require the use of a dynamic disk of OS.  I would avoid dynamic disks for the OS volume, simply to be able to use extpart on them.  It is quick and easy and requires no downtime for expansion.

  Unless you're something like replication or very precise specifications of performance, I find that it is usually best to leave the volumes to the OS and data (vmdk) in a single folder.  If performance or other reasons come into play, you can always separate them later, with other options or Storage vMotion.

  The idea here is to keep things simple, so I use Basic for the volumes to the OS disks and keep them in the same folder/data store.

• Libretto 110CT: reloading Windows hard disk

  The hard drive on my 110CT Libretto was erased, Amacom CD Rom drive is no longer recognized, so not able to reload Toshiba Windows 98.
  Appreciate any advice
  Mike

  Hello

  As far as I know on the download from Toshiba site you can download the floppy start-up but just for Toshiba and Freecom. Unfortunately, if you use another drive you do one with driver for your Amacom player on it. Only in this way you will be able to install it.

  Otherwise, you can visit Toshiba service partner and ask them if they can install it for you. I'm sure he can't cost a lot of money. They have Toshiba external hard drive.

• HP Pavilion x 2-10-n100ns: HP Pavilion x 2 - install 10 Windows hard disk

  Hello

  I have a HP Pavilion x 10 2-n100ns, which has a record of 32 GB mem and a 500 GB SATA hard drive.

  It came with 10 Windows Home 64 bit preinstalled on the 32 GB drive.

  When the update of the anniversary 10 Windows was available for installation, it started, but could not say that it does not have enough space.

  How can first question - I install the update? Is this possible?

  Second question - I would like to install and run Windows 10 since the SATA drive.

  I made a disk image MEM can I restore to factory if necessary.

  When I run Windows 10 Setup from a Setup USB key and select clean install, I have the option of disk to install to and I can see SATA and MEM.

  I deleted the partition on the SATA drive, which now appears as unallocated space.

  However, the installation cannot continue on the SATA drive I get the following message is displayed: -.

  "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. Setup does not support configuration or installation to disks connected through a USB or IEEE 1394 port. »

  How can I install (and run) 10 Windows on the SATA drive?

  Thank you

  The 10 from the USB windows installation was successful.

  All existing partitions have been deleted from the mem 32 GB drive and the installation program has been authorized to create new partitions for recovery etc..

  I now have 10 with the anniversary update installed and running windows...

• Hardware or software problem? Freezing of Windows and 1 hard disk failed.

  My Pavilion dv7 freezes at the windows startup screen.  I can't via safe mode.  It starts and hangs at disk.sys.

  I ran a diagnostic and start-up test and hard drive tests showed 1 hard disk had a default ID: PLP773-4SX5SL-XD03GK-60V003.

  As I am able to boot and I have run diagnostic test, I would not have thought that the hard drive was not.  I thought it would be a corruption of software.  Unless the hard drive is failing.

  What do you think? Software or hard drive?

  Don't know whether to order a recovery disc or not.  If it is a hard drive, non-techie can someone order a new hard drive and install?

  Hello

  Well the error 305 definetely would indicate a hard failure.

  The link on the hard drive in the guide below is for the United Kingdom - I guess that it is where you live as suffix to your model number (ea) is the same as mine, but if this isn't the case, the HARD drive (or a very similar) is available almost everywhere.

  Replacing the hard drive.

  The player at the link below is an example of one that would be perfect for your laptop.

  500 GB hard drive for laptop.

  The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 47 of your & Maintenance Guide.

  Once this is done, simply use your recovery DVD to reinstall the operating system on the new drive.

  If you do not have your recovery discs, you can order a replacement set using the link below.

  https://www.best2serve.com/page/rcd_landing?redirect_product_id=21086

  If you have a problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

  If you live in the United Kingdom, contact HP here.

  If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

  Extraction of files from the hard drive.

  The device used by PC World has been a Hard Drive caddy - an example of one of them is here.

  However another possible way to try and recover your files (and does not cost anything) a disc non-boot is to follow the process described in the link below.  The CD of the Ubuntu operating system you create can launched from the CD alone (IE it doesn't have to be installed on the hard drive) and I've often found to successfully extract data from a hard failure.  When you created the CD, follow the instructions and see if you can save your existing files.

• Problem with external HARD disk - cannot mount the mac partition and can't unmount the partition windows

  Hi all

  Need your help. I have problems with my external hard drive. I worked on it yesterday when the cable is a little detached and disassembled my intestinal HARD drive.

  Here are the specs:

  1 Macbook Air 11.5 "running on El Capitan (10.11.1)

  2 Buffalo Ministation external (1 TB) HARD disk divided into two: a Mac partition (for time machine) and the other a windows on FAT32 partition.

  Before the accident yesterday, it was working OK.

  Now, when I connect the HARD drive, it turns on but the Mac partition cannot be mounted (it does not appear on the Finder. I opened disk utility... just load forever and does not work) and the Windows partition is visible... but I can't take it apart without turning my computer.

  I can assemble and disassemble a USB stick very well.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Maybe you can explain a little better.

  I would like to make some general comments before having your replay.

  It is not wise to use TM on a disk with apple unformatted or partitions, it is preferable to have a dedicated TM drive also.

  For TM, the rule is that the drive is about 3 times the size of the boot disk.

  Normally you 'survive' a good step disassemble the drive external, but in this case with a another partition formatted on this subject, I'm not sure if that do not corrupt the disk, especially since the Windows partition is bootable. I have suspct the partition GUID on the TM partition table is corrupt.

  I propose to start the disk completely: in DiskUtility select the 'higher' level (name of manufacturer) and the Partition, one OS X Extended (journaled) partition table Partition GUID. And use it only for TM, is not too big for this.

  Have another drive formatted NTFS for Windows.

• Satellite L650 - Windows detected a hard disk problem

  I have 9 as 4 months old satellite L650 that this microsoft Windows message keeps popping up. "Windows detected a hard disk problem, back up your files immediately to prevent the loss of information... etc" have I not a bum hard drive or is it a mistake?
  I have
  have the media discs to recover and this means that I have to reformat the HARD drive and try again. !

  Hi watthhel,

  I think the error message must be correct to Windows 7 and you must do what tells you the message: immediately back up your data and replace the HARD drive with a new one. In your case I would never save important files on the HARD drive. Too risky to lose important files

  Your laptop is 4 months old and that would mean it s covered by the warranty. Contact your local authorized service provider and ask for a replacement drive. They will exchange it and the service is free. :)
