• ? Primary Master Hard Disk S.M.A.R.T. Bad Status. WARNING: Return immediately-up your data and replace your hard drive.

  When I start my computer, an error page appears. At the bottom of the page it says, "Primary Master Hard Disk S.M.A.R.T. Status Bad." WARNING: Return immediately-up your data and replace your hard drive. Press F1 for Setup, F2 to continue"I was just pressing F2 and then it starts normally, but whenever I start my computer, the same page comes up.

  Is this serious or it could be something minor? Do you have any suggestions? What does that mean? What should I do? I followed some information in the forums of someone who has had the same problem and finally, they fixed them, they said that when they made a prior microsoft update what they where missing a Parcer.

  Note: I tried to save my data before, but something goes wrong and the backup will not be completed.

  You can download the program for diagnotics HUtil Samsung http://www.samsung.com/global/business/hdd/support/downloads/Hutil210_iso_for_CDROM_drive.zip

  It's an ISO image then unzip the file and write the ISO image to a CD.

  Then restart the PC and booting with the CD. To do this, you must change the priority/boot order in the BIOS to boot from the CD first.

  Once you have started the program HUtil it will detect your hard drive Samsung. Select the hard disk.

  Enter the main Menu on the tool. Go into the menu of the tool and enter Auto diagnosis. Enable diagnostics to run, once done it will ask you if you want to perform a surface analysis - enter Yes. The analysis of surface will take some time to complete. If errors are found, it reported.

  Once more I recommend you backup your data as soon as possible, preferably before executing HUtil program.

  For more information on the program of HUtil you can go here: http://www.samsung.com/global/business/hdd/support/utilities/Support_HUTIL.html

  Write when the cache is enabled: when data are written back to the hard drive, it is written in the cache that is much faster to actually write to the hard drive. An acknowledgement of receipt is then sent by saying that the data has been written on the hard disk, when in fact it does not. In this way so that the data is actually being written to the hard drive to the rest of the system can continue to work. However memory cache is volatile, if the power goes off, the data in the cache is destroyed and if it has not been written to disk hard and yet he's lost.

  If your settings are correct. Usually the drives are configured for performance and the write cache is enabled. While flash drives and memory cards are configured for the fast-moving and write cache is disabled.

  Hey, @sumukhreddy!

  I'm really sorry to hear about your WD drive problems. However, I recommend you to use Data LifeGuard Diagnostics from WD (DOS version) to test again and check on the health and the SMART State it. The DOS version of the utility will allow you to perform diagnostics without having to boot into any operating system. You should be able to find under downloads by product once you select WD Caviar Blue.  You can extend the WD software link and follow the instructions.

  The drive is OEM and most likely came with your laptop, so I recommend you to contact the manufacturer and check the warranty of your laptop. It is always covered, you can RMA and they should be able to provide a repair and the implementation of the defective material.

  Good luck! I hope I've been helpful! :)

  Hello

  I'm sorry to say, but I fear that your HARD drive will die soon. You must, as soon as possible, back up all important data and get the new HARD drive. The replacement is not so complicated and you can do it alone.

  If you need assistance please let us know. There are a lot of people on this forum with a lot of experience and. You're not alone ;)!

• Re: Satellite A210-10Y - disk SMART failure

  Hello

  I am the proud owner of a Satellite A210-10Y. (160 GB HDD).

  This morning I get an error message during boot: SMART drive predicted failure. Back up all data and press F1.

  After some research here, I downloaded the tool form hdtune.com.

  This returned value the result that everything was OK, but for the "reallocated sector count".
  The values are:
  49/worst 49/threshold 50/data-925/situation has FAILED.

  However, when I use the analysis of the error by HDTUNE, all fields appear in green as "ok".

  What is the problem with my hard drive? It's going pretty slow all of a sudden...

  Can I do to solve this problem?
  Do you know if its possible to return the drive to Toshiba and get a new one? I have this computer for 13 months.

  Thanks a lot for your help.

  Hey Buddy

  I m the Satellite U400 owner and suddenly a SMART HARD disk error message appeared on my screen too and the laptop could not start and could not find the HARD drive.
  I closed the laptop computer and rebooted again finally the HARD drive has been detected correctly and the error message disappeared.

  I discovered that this error can appear if the laptop has been moved or shaken before turning on.
  This may affect the functionality of the HARD drive and the S.M.A.R.T (self-monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) reports a HARD drive error.

  However, this error may appear if a real HARD disk failure has been detected
  In such cases, it s necessary and desirable to back up data from the HARD drive because it can happen that you HDD might die in the near future

  However, if the HARD drive was dying and laptop computer s guarantee would be always available you can contact ASP in your country for replacement.
  You should also know that these issues are not uncommon and that sooner or later each HARD drive would die because of constraints of HARD drive.

• Bad hard disk/drive

  I ran a refreshment on computer, and when it restarted I got not to install updates in order to upgrade to Win 8.1. Then, I received a message saying that Windows 'detects a hard drive problem. He also said that the hard drive has failed and to immediately back up my files and repair disc. I had previously saved all my files, so there is nothing on the computer at the time that I need. ? Its kind

  difficult to do anything anyone sometimes because Windows is so

  unresponsive, so I was reset the computer back to factory settings in order to get online. I ran a reset yesterday and tomorrow

  It will be very slow and Windows will not respond. So my question is, have saved all that needs to be saved, how can I solve the problem with the defective drive?

  Where should I go from here? And what could bring it in the first place? I am always so careful. Any input would be really appreciated. So thank you and have a nice day.  (My computer is a Toshiba Satellite C855)

  Unfortunately, no. You have bad sectors, and a bad sector is essentially a set of data on the disk HARD cannot be read because it is 'damaged '. CHKDSK attempts to move forward and take the data of these bad sectors and move them into blocks of work, but sometimes it is not possible due to the huge amount of bad sectors.

  Bad sectors are a normal part of having a mechanical drive, and they are inevitable and occur over time how attentive that you are. Bad sectors can be caused by malware to something as simple as an incorrect/unexpected shutdown during a reading/writing data, etc..

  Also, once you start getting bad sectors, it only gets worse and fast. It's not worth risking it remaining on the disc. It's smart to save the data that you want to keep (if any) and replace the disk.

  Kind regards

  The message of the Toshiba HDD application alert is as follows:

Your HARD drive is facing a problem and CHIP controlling the software predicts that the HARD drive will fail. Toshiba strongly recommends that you create a backup for the data on your HARD drive.

  I ordered a new HARD drive to replace the failed HDD (can't be bothered p * ssing all with the support of the RMA and tech).

  However, is it possible to repair the old HDD once it's been deleted? If I have the reformat, it would do anything, or is it more serious than that?

  Hello

  I USE DELL STUDIO 15 AND I HAD THIS PROBLEM, WHENEVER I RESTART MY SYSTEM IN THE LAST FEW DAYS...

  HOW SHOULD I DEAL WITH IT...

• Satellite P215 get SMART failure on hard drive

  Hello

  I've had my laptop for a year now, and just recently, I noticed everything using that everything has become much slower and more something else that I couldn't run as much multitasking I could before without the screen freeze and have to wait until he gets treated. The level of multitasking is not serious, I mean that a laptop of this caliber should be able to have a streaming of youtube video play without problem as both messenger and Microsoft Word have. Recently, it has been quite frustrating and makes me want to throw computer laptop in the room, but I persevere. Moreover, I also realized that the game I used to play works is no longer (I wonder if it's the same question)

  I formatted the hard drive and installed windows vista (with the CD that was given to me when I bought the computer) and the first time he had actually installation problems I had to do it twice. The second time it has installed fine and it worked for a week and then it started to slow down terribly again.

  After restart the computer message popped up indicating SMART: failure on hard drive Hitachi-(s1) 4, so I followed the instructions given by another thread with a similar problem. I tried the hitachi Drive Fitness Test and the program would not even load, it would get to the point where it says «Loading DFT»... ' and he would just stay there... I guess that is not compatible with Vista or something.

  What can I do in addition to evidence of the replacement of the hard drive? The cause of the downturn from the computer to the bass and the game does not work because of the HD about to fail? If there is a way to solve this problem, I would like to know

  Thank you
  Michael

  In my view the HARD disk, you should be exchanged and Yes, it could be the reason why the computer slows down, and some games do not work.
  I had the same problem a few years ago on my desktop PC computer is very slow and I can t install a game. Whenever I tried it, I got a BSOD. Then I switched the HARD drive and everything worked very well.

  I put t know why the Drive Fitness Test does not start on your computer, but if you get a SMART error HARD drive should be exchanged permanently.

  If your laptop is under warranty, you must contact an ASP. Then the repair should be free.

  Good luck!
