SpinRite 6.0

I have a dell dimension e520.  the bios reads "serial ATA AHCI bios ver.» iSrc 1.02.23 8/01/06.  operating system is windows XP.   the startup message indicates that the computer starts from the CD, but when I try to run Spinrite from a CD, the error message is "error reading partition table drive 01 sector 0.  information about the PC says that the bios is dell 2.0.4 10/25/06.  This bios is editable for Spinrite will work?  I have another window XP PC at home that works without problem from the CD, so it must be a bios problem.  SpinRite should run at startup and in MS DOS.

Thanks for all the ideas.

What model is the other computer, and how old is Spinrite 6.0?  If the other computer is using hard drives IDE / ATA parallels, Spinrite should work without a hitch.  Your E520, however, uses SATA drives, and when the computer has been delivered, it was probably configured for the RAID on the definition so that the AHCI is enabled.  BACK does not recognize the AHCI unless it has been modified to work with AHCI.  What is a DOS program, your hard drive does not exist unless you reconfigure to RAID Autodetect / ATA.  This setting is compatible with drivers IDE / ATA parallel and must leave the program see the player.

I wouldn't use it, however.  Previous utility can alter the sectors on the disk that may prevent your computer from starting when you try to restore things to the way they were.

  • I need to backup my emails so I can replace my hard drive.

    I read the response "I NEED TO BACKUP the FILES of mail ELECTRONICS, WHO CAN ALWAYS BE READ LATER". but who was referring to the IMAP and I use pop. I expect that the procedure is the same, but that is the problem. I have a lot of files to attachments. The answer does not expressly say that bindings and / or embedded images will be included with the saved emails. I expect that most people take for granted, but it's the first time I'm trying to back up the files. Several years ago I 'save page as' with a few pages in Firefox and when I opened the once again the pages were nothing like the original. I think the only thing that saved were the links to images that have been on it, and they were no longer on the net. Since then, I've been nervous about back ups and import / export. My hard drive is a failure so I have to replace the drive, reload TB, and bring back the files. If anyone can give me some advice, I would be very happy. Dave

    Thanks I didn't loose all attachments, but I saved attachments to files on disk. So I thought that this could be considered an extraction. I am running Spinrite on the disc right now, but I'm going to busy with the links you sent me. Can I mark this resolved and ask a question if something happens? Thanks again, Dave

    PS. I am curious about the purpose of the link that keeps TB.

  • Satellite 2430-402: 437 Application error during recovery

    Right, I've got a Toshiba Satellite 2430-402 (purchased new) for at least 3 years. I have formated several times before and re-loaded windows back on with no problems until now.

    The problem only started two days ago, when I noticed my CD drive was not recognized. So I decided to format etc, came out the disk Recovery Utility that came only with the computer to install everything, and it will not go beyond 12%. I'm greeted by * Application error 437
    Can not read the file.

    I left really stuck and cannot load anything. I fdisc / formatted /spinrite / kill the hard disk, just in case where there is something nasty on here and can still get nowhere. This is the first time I'm really stuck.

    This could be the engraver of CD or would it be the hard drive or basically the computer is nakered. I inspected the recovery disk, and they are all clean!

    Or is it because I made an update of the bios (you mind, it was weeks ago)

    Everyone please

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    to my knowledge, the Ghost image files are placed on the Toshiba Recovery CD.
    That's why I studied on the ghosts manufacturing Web site.
    It s Symantec and found this information site:

    HM http://Service1.Symantec.com/support/Ghost.nsf/0/14579a4173691f8988256abf005f4f8f?OpenDocument&SEG= & lg = fr & ct = us

    According to this page this problem seems to be due to starting the computer incorrectly when you use Ghost with GoBack on the computer.
    This problem may also occur when you use a brand or type of CD that works well with your CD - R or CD - RW device. In this case, Windows or DOS might be able to read the information on the CD that other applications cannot.

  • Satellite Pro A120: my Ghost image created new does not work

    fokes, all the ideas that we are stuck and as normal phone support fate with a cracker of a response... "it seams Ghost is too recent." and unsupported. "

    have a master machine installed and the installer under windows xp pro and about 60 bits of software school, smartboard and network settings. preparation time was about 2 days, so don't want to do the other 11 manually...

    I took the image via the network and then sent to a new machine, and bingo, he sits on the bios screen, now enter the detailed checks so I can see what the bios checks the hard drive is fine and its just hanging somewhere on the wick between bios and where the hard drive takes over.

    OK test 2, take the hard drive of the machine master and make a ghost of disk to disk to a new machine, image ends fine, replace the hard drive in the machine, try to start new machine, bingo same problem lies just to the bios.

    After each test, the machine master fine boots.
    have you tried the main hard drive in two new machines, its fine
    have reinstalled xp pro cd on two hard drives, it must be installed fine
    running spinrite all 3 disks that are very well
    Ghost does not all problems with the master drive
    have tried a fixboot and fixmbr chkdsk on the new machines after they have been imaged, still no start

    This is the first time we had a problem with the ghosts of the machines of tosh in 7 years, (copied about 50 machines so far this year, as some of this model) just woundering if they changed something in the batch or the version of the bios?

  • Satellite 1900-303 Wont Boot up black screen only - help!

    I have a major problem. My Toshiba Satellite 1900, Windows XP Home edition, P4, 2.0 Ghz, 256 MB of RAM (not SP2 updated) won't boot to the top.
    I ran Norton Sys works - speed record to defragment the HD. The screen is blank because the level of power that I it turns off after 10 minutes of no entry.

    My son spent portable (lid) open as he called and thought I forgot to close it as the screen is empty, and of course the laptop is off. When I have opened the screen (cover) still once he did not display and the system has no POST beeps. I tried to not start from a Toshiba Recovery CD - nothing, then a recovery disk - no joy - I then tried to boot from a Windows XP boot CD - once again no joy. A friend gave me a loan of its disk of v6.0 of SPINRITE to start from, as he says that he has its own operating system - once again no joy. Battery adapters and power are all ok, we tested with a multimeter.

    Another note is that I have GOBACK installed v3, but because of the fact that the laptop does not start, I can't retrieve the last good point. I also think that as I was running a defragmentation program when this accident occurred the restore points is erased from the memory.

    At this point, I'm stumped. I got a job on the laptop (Excel files) that I need to access. Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.

    When it is connected to your desktop computer, can you feel if he goes? When you say that the Bureau does not detect the hard disk, which is in the bios, or when you open my computer?  If the drive is recognized in the bios, you can buy a software like ntfs getback who will try to rebuild the fat table so you can copy items over to the hard drive of the desktop computer.  You can download a trial version that will let you know if it will work, but you will have to buy it to actually transfer the software on disk from the desktop. You can also try to download the certification test of the drive manufacturer that will fix the bad sectors and some minor problems. SpinRite will try to retrieve data for each of the areas that may be of low bits set not completely (upwards or downwards). If the Office does not see the drive in bios, the circuit board on the hard drive is bad or the disc is not rotating. If you gently hold the disc in hand and slightly turn the disc, you should feel a gyroscopic effect of the spinning drive. If you do not feel the disc spins, the motor is probably bad or racing circuit on low hard drive circuit is bad. Sometimes (perhaps 50%), you can try to replace the circuit board with the exact same model Platinum (even if you buy the same model of car, they may have different circuit boards).  The problem is that newer readers have a flash memory chip that stores the settings for each specific access accurate and speed reader. If the exact same Platinum turns the drive, but can't read well, he have to unsolder the flash chip and move it to the new circuit board. Then, the chances improve for recovery. If the new Platinum will not turn the engine, the engine is bad. You will need to send the drive to the manufacturer or to a recovery company that can remove the platters and mount them on their equipment, calibrate and read it (probably $1000 + without warranty). There are people who post how to break on the old engine and replace it with a new one, but I think it would be a mistake to try.

  • After upgrade to El Capitan Time Machine does not automatically

    Recently, I upgraded my Macbook Pro and iMac 24 to El Capitan.  Time Machine does not automatically work on the iMac.   I now use the backup to get a backup to run.  MacBook Pro is very well.

    Thinking that this might be the associated time Capsule, I removed the disc from the Capsule and ran Spinrite on it.  Car is very good.  Then I deleted all the files on the Time Capsule and created new Time machine backups on two computers.  No problem, except the iMac not run automatically Time machine.

    And yes the selection for Time Machine is configured to run automatically.

    A bug in OS X 10.11.1 prevents automatic backups that happens when a desktop Mac (iMac, Mac mini or Mac Pro) is connected to a UPS (UPS) with the USB feature.

    Please, back up all data before proceeding.

    First, check the App Store for a later update to OS X. If it is available when you read this review, install it and see if the problem is resolved. I speak not beta versions.

    Otherwise, you can work around the bug as follows.

    These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

    Please triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select:

    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine RequiresACPower 0

    Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

    Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Paste in the Terminal window by pressing the command-V key combination. I tested these instructions only with the Safari browser. If you use another browser, you may need to press the return key after pasting. You will be asked for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. Type carefully, and then press return. If you do not have a password, you will need to configure one before you can run the command. You can get a warning to be careful. Confirm. You don't need to display the warning.

    If you see a message that your user name "is not in the sudoers file", then you have not logged as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.

    Wait for a new line ending with a dollar sign ($) below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal.

    Restart the computer and test.

  • hard drive woes

    For a while, I was getting the error "no boot device" & the hard drive did not appear in the BIOS. I could not access erecovery with alt + F10 and I have no idea where the recovery disc's I have since moved. After playing with connections, the hard drive is listed but getting same error. When I run erecovery, it starts to load then I get "Please wait a moment" and he's sitting there. 20 minutes was so far this time. I can hear the operation of the hard drive. Any ideas? Thank you!

    Sounds like a failing hard drive. If you have access to a PC, you can remove the drive from the laptop and connect it to the PC with standard SATA power and data cables to save as much of your personal data as possible. An external USB box will do the same job.

    If you fit a new drive, you will need an Acer recovery disc to use the existing OEM license key because it will not accept a Windows disk at retail. Not a problem with Linux of course. The recovery disk will not restore the hidden restore partition. It won't help if the failure is on the Commission to control the player, but if the problem is caused by errors in sector, you might be able to connect the player temporarily using Spinrite https://www.grc.com/sr/spinrite.htm although it is a costly gamble to $89.

    The program attempts to move the data from the damaged sectors. If he succeeds, the drive works normally again but it's just an opportunity to use an imaging program like Acronis True Image, Norton Ghost etc to clone all the partitions on another drive. With little chance you will have your existing partitions of data, operating system and recovery working safely on a new drive, but there is a risk of losing time and the $89 if there is too much physical damage or fault is in the control of narcotic drugs.

  • Another question of restarting the MUPS

    A former Church accountant called yesterday.  His computer has been restarted.  I went through a few things, starting with LNG, then passed over.  In safe mode, he did the usual list.  After MUPS.sys, it restarts.  I tried the Safe Mode (all 3), Normal, good last known (LKGC), etc.  I then tried the advanced options.  Debugging came with the BSOD with the 0 x 0... 7B (on forums I see it and 7th regularly, 7B) where it crashes.  I ran the diags BIOS & no problem.  I tried PE of Bart, WinPE with ERD Commander, TechMaster 2006, Hiren 9.5 with reboots or BSOD.  EBCD brought me for some things, but he had problems.  She has finally found its XP SP2 CD, so I tried to make in this, but it gets to the GUI (probably around MUPS.sys) and rebooted, including safe mode.  I found Hiran 9.7 (misguided in my folder of CD), & it worked, so I just ran a quick memtest and CPUZ, then let him test the HD (HDTest or HDTune or something like that).  As he ran, I brought to the top of the box CMD typed memtest and explained how to operate when HDTest was done.

    Today, after Church, I came back with a FD & performed a running MemTest + (4.1) one pass, now 6 SpinRite is testing the drive.

    The computer is a HP Pavilion with a 2.2 GHz Dual core Intel, 4 GB DDR2, 500 GB HD (about 25 GB used, a normal installation with another recovery - 15 or 20 GB partition as I remember) I could see with EBCD & Hiran) and a M/B IPIBL-LB.  She put it in a network with a new HP Pavilion (a1640n).  I don't know which box did its accounting data on it - or if the two don't.  (I has not implemented its network, I'm just helping low-cost when his computer gives its problems the weekend & his ordinary man will then come).

  • Hard drive shows in the Bios and Device Manager but not in disk management.

    I recently had a hard drive fail because of the excessive heat in the computer case (he also took a memory too). When I plug the drive as a secondary drive in any computer it will appear in the Bios and the Manager of devices, but not in disk management, nor can it be considered be as ZAR and Spinrite disk utility.

    The disc spins up and down when turned on and seems to work. Just trying to recover data from the disk, so I can put it on a new drive.

    Any ideas?

    If its not shown in disk management I would use this bootable HD to the utility check disk (probably all riders is set correctly?)
