STOR. E ALU 3.5 250 GB does not

I've had this drive for a year or two and it works well now all of a sudden I turn it on and it does not work, I can hear a quiet click and repetative click sound, I tried plugging it into other computers, laptops and pc, but still doesn't work do not. I have some important photos etc. here so any help is appreciated.

Even if someone knows a place where I can retrieve the data off it should it be damaged.

Looks like the heads dropped.

There are data recovery centers that can of data recovery for you, but they are expensive. Use google or your directory of local business for 'data recovery center.

  • Toshiba Stor.e ALU 2 s 3.5 "does not work with my XBOX

    Hi all, first timer here

    Just got a Toshiba external hard drive as a gift. Wanted one for a while, mainly to use with my XBOX 360 to watch movies and listen to music on. However the xbox does not pick up the hardrive (connected via USB), but he'll be looking for my friends generic hardrives. Anyone has any idea why?

    It looks like a fairly recent model, here are the specs in the (very rare) manual that came with the hard drive:

    Toshiba stor.e 2 s 3.5 ALU "
    1 TB
    USB 3.0
    Backward compatible with USB 2.0 (I don't know what that means "backward" here)

    I'm not a computer person. I use the laptop to surf the web, media, applications etc, basic College work. Few of my friends have external hard drives, mainly cheap generic brands of the average and all work fine on my XBOX, just plug-and-play.

    If anyone has any advice on how to do it, or even where to go woth my question I would really appreciate it.

    TIA
    Creamy

    Hello

    In my view Backward compatible means that you can use this HARD drive with USB 2.0 ports. But the fact is that USB 3.0 port provide 900mA and USB 2.0 only 500mA.
    I guess that's your HARD drive
    http://www.Toshiba-multimedia.com/en/store-externe-Festplatten/ALU2-s-35/
    According to specifications, you can find info that this HARD drive should 900mA

    Therefore connect the HARD drive to two USB 2.0 ports using a USB Y cable.
    I think this will help you.

  • Toshiba Stor.e partner 1 TB, clicking and does not

    I've had my Toshiba Stor.e partner 1 TB external hard drive for only less than a year after going on holiday with her in my bag I go back and it does not work. Even when I plug in the USB 3.0 slot is all for that click.

    Sometimes the computer recognizes it is connected with the noise but he then instantly disconnects again.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    In my opinion, you should contact your local dealer and make a warranty claim.
    On this virtual path, I can't say for sure if the HARD drive has a hardware problem but this clicking noise is very suspicious to me.

  • Stor E Alu 2.5 500 GB is not recognized correctly

    I had it for 16 months and had no problems. I updated some files no problem of backup as usual Wednesday night.

    When I plugged it again Thursday my computer laptop would not recognize him as he usually does, IE Toshiba USB 2.5 "-HARD drive with a logo of Toshiba."

    Instead he just showed as a drive Local (F) and would not allow me to browse the files, saying it must be formatted before use.

    Interestingly, when I go to "Remove hardware" it then shows that Toshiba USB 2.5 "-HARD drive and also shows that this in Device Manager."

    I have a lot of information out there and then most are elsewhere and I don't lose a lot I want to get it back. Can anyone help with advice to get the job of training and to recover my files?

    Thanks in advance.

    Looks like you lost your partition information...
    If another PC displays the same behavior... you need a software partition recovery good for get you data back like (Smart Partition Recovery).
    Do not create a new partition because that's the way of lost with windows your data forever.

  • RunAs with the /savecred option does not accept the credentials stored by the cmdkey command

    Hello

    I am trying to automate the storage of credentials for profiles of several people on several servers so that they can use it with scripts, they will use that have the command 'runas' with the /savecred option.  I use the command "cmdkey" to store the user and the password, but when the runas command is run, it prompts for the password anyway.  I know that the /savecred works since if I leave the command-line runas for the password and I enter, on subsequent runs, he is more requested for the password.  Curiously, if I use the cmdkey command to replace the stored credentials, runas invite you again the password so it can store it himself.  Almost as runas does not 'trust' cmdkey.  Any thoughts on why this can happen and how can I get around it?  I really need to automate the identification information storing or it will take a couple hundred manual executions of the runas command to get this store on the profiles of all the people in need.

  • Software installed on the data card does not appear in the menu "applications".

    I installed Ultralingua in data card in my Centro. (Data files have been great to store in the Centro himself). It does not appear in "applications".  I can launch by clicking on applications, then the files, and then find the CPP Ultralingua and launching.  Is there a way to get ultralingua and other applications on the map appear in "applications"?

    Thank you

    Hello modemjunkie.

    The Palm OS Launcher does not analyse applications of SD (.prc files) who live in the/Palm/launcher folder on an expansion card.  If you want the Launcher Palm OS stock for you to show the applications installed on the expansion card, you must press the Home button and select your card from the drop-down at the top of the screen.

  • 10 Windows does not even recognize Stor.e Alu 2...

    Hi Pokecelebi,

    You can try to connect to another system, or change your USB cable and try to connect to different ports. I have a few questions for you. Kindly answer as much as I'll help you also.

    What exactly happens before you had connected your external drive to your system?

    How old is your HARD drive?

    Please let know us your views on these issues.

  • Toshiba Store Alu 3.5 "1 TB external USB HARD drive does not

    I turned on my laptop with my hard drive is connected.
    It flashes blue and everything and the computer recognizes that there is a usb device it but it freezes Windows Explorer.

    When I tried to click the hard drive icon, it says the device is not accessible.
    It does not unusual noises high expectations or clicks. I tried to unplug and every bit nothing helps.

    I read somewhere else that it can be a power supply problem? (a few days ago I had a really small power cut which lasted a second...)
    I really hope that this isn't a drive failure hard because I have 250 gb of music in there! Should I send in repairs?
    If so, my data would be deleted? I had this for only less than a month.

    Thanks in advance.

    > It seems to work on other computers without problem, but on mine, it is not
    In such cases, it s not a problem of disk HARD but eventually its computer number you and, eventually, the OS does not contains some drivers / extract, etc. eventually the operating system must be updated

  • Toshiba STOR. E ALU 2 does not work

    Hello

    My external HARD drive does not work, then I want to place a large file on it (it was a 175GB backup) and now the camera is very slow, I can't copy or replace something, but I can see whats on disc, I can open the files but it takes a long time. I want to just my pictures back, but I can't copy them to another disk. External drives starts whit copies the files, stops and does nothing for the rest of the time. Light flasses almost all the time.

    Forum search virus: nothing
    CHKDSK: ends in front 3 in a critical error.
    disc is not full: about 300GB of 1000
    same problem on different PCs

    I hope someone can help!

    The warranty is still valid?
    I mean, what you want to do with it? You can not force the HDD to work properly.
    In my opinion, you should contact Toshiba service provider and ask for help.

    If the warranty is still valid ask replacement and also ask if they are responsible for your private data backup.

  • Do not have access to Stor.E Alu 2 HDD

    Hi all

    I bought the stor.e alu 1 tb 2.5 "drive external hard on the advice of a local store Paolo I had problems with the hard disk in this laptop.

    Has been informed by the shop to make a clone of my hard drive then trade out for a new well just to say I have fooked the process as the internal drive failed during the filming of the clone drive.

    Well the laptop is now fixed, but I can't get the stor.e to open or the drive is displayed in the tab of the computer.

    It appears in the device manage tab and if clicked tab in volumes shows like (partition style: master boot record) and shows the drive as empty.

    But I can't open the drive nor does it plug and play, so I would be grateful if someone could find out a way to restore the drive to factory settings and provide a link to the drivers so I can use the drive as a storage device.

    You you connected the HARD drive two USB ports on your laptop?

    Please try if you not connected the HARD drive to two USB ports
    In addition, you can set the HARD drive to factory settings. It s a simple HARD disk that can be formatted only.

  • Stor.e Alu 2 3.5 "-file transfer problem

    Hello

    I recently bought a Stor.e Alu 2 3.5 "external HARD drive and I have a serious problem. When I'm trying to copy a number of video files on it, the transfer never managed. It begins at a speed of about 20 + MB/sec, but after some time (a minute or two), nothing else is transferred and the progress bar remains.

    LED light appears flashing well and no error message comes from Windows Vista or Ubuntu that I use. The few videos I managed to copy to it successfully (by chance, I guess!) work correctly and the player does not seem to have any other question, except that it is impossible to perform a defragmentation.

    I already formatted this disc, but the problem remains and no transfer is possible unless the files are small. I also checked the disk for errors and their fixed with MS-DOS command prompt several times. Please help if you think that the problem is fixable or otherwise I deffo the drive as long as it's still under warranty.

    Thanks in advance!

    George.

    Hello

    To be honest, I guess there is something wrong with the HARD drive and recommends test another I would like to get in touch with the dealer and ask for replacement

  • Stor.E ALU 2s no time-out

    Hello
    I have several Toshiba USB hard drives, that I use as storage media with a cable TV box.
    Type DTP110 turns off after a few minutes if you do not use.
    Type Stor.E ALU 2s continues to operate. There is no point when not in use.
    Desturbing more however is the squeaking noise when the box is turned off, which cuts the power of the forced HD.
    I sent a request for Toshiba if there is a tool to set the time-out, no response.
    Anyone know a solution?

    See you soon,.
    kyriako.

    Hello

    I don't have a solution for you, but I may be able to enlighten us.
    It is likely that the hard drive does not meet the host power management controls.
    I don't think it's possible to solve by any other piece of software, unless it's an update of the firmware.
    If you want you can chech in running a modern Linux host and attaching this player.
    Run the drives under Gnome application and try to read the SMART attributes and / or request a counters.

    The results it will show the way.
    Success at the point of Linux to a kind of incompatibility between the HARD drive and your device.
    Same result in Linux shows that the HARD drive does not respond to these common commands and there is not much to do about it.
