Tecra M5 - corrupted HARD drive

Hello

I have a Tecra M5 laptop and have replaced the hard drive twice as the data on the drive seem to corrupt itself - and the second time after a month.
Note, I've been using brand new discs hard too.

The only thing I can think that there is a problem with the hardware, but I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas that the laptop is out of warranty.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello

The laptop can not damage the HARD drive!
The HARD drive can cause damage, for example, because of the high stress of use

But if the HARD drive is recognized by the BIOS, and if it of possible to install the operating system and then the disc is ok and that only the data seems a shame.
This can happen still and so is advisable to back up the files and important data on a second partition, HARD drive or disk.

If your have a larger HARD drive, and then create partitions. In addition you should defragment the simple scores from time to time.

  • Tecra A6 (PTA60E) - hard drives are compatible

    Hello
    I corrupted hard drive 100 GB Hitachi in my Tecra A6 I want to replace. Are there limitations in the Bios on the drives, I can use as a replacement. I am aware of the limits of size and interface, but I wonder if there is no limitation in the Bios, and if so, if the impact of these limitations only translates into a lower capacity hard disk than expected in drive standard.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Tecra A6 und SATA HDD HARD drive controller support 2.5 SATA there.
    Since the SATA interface is not limited to certain sizes of HARD drive, you should be able to use any HARD drive 2.5 SATA.

    I doubt THAT BIOS is limited, so I would say that you can also use larger SATA hard drives

    "If the corrupted hard drive will be the OS can be installed again"

    If the hard drive has minimal corruption in localized areas, you can reinstall Windows.  You will need to reformat the hard drive, however.  When you get to step in the installation process where it formats the hard drive, do not choose "quick" format  On the contrary, let him do a full format.

  • Install the operating system after replacing the corrupted hard drive Asus q500a

    The hard drive on my Asus Q500a is bad (he had checked the repairman). They told me that I could replace it (it will just keep failing until at last it dies just) but I have to re - install the operating system. The laptop comes with Windows 7 and I upgraded to 8 when it came out (I think). I don't have a recovery disk.

  • Re: Tecra 9100 - new HARD drive is not detected

    I have a Toshiba Harddisk provide a Tecra 9100. Checking the BIOS it shows "Enhanced IDE", but you are trying to boot from the disc does not work HARD. Even trying to install a new operating system present, that the HARD drive is not detected.
    From the laptop is also very long.
    Any idea?

    Your new HARD drive is larger than 120 GB? The HARD disk controller supports the 28-bit LBA and large drives as 120 GB will not be recognized by the BIOS.

    What you mean with Enhanced IDE? The BIOS recognizes the new HARD drive with model number?

  • What would support other mobile next to Tecra A4 my HARD drive

    Toshiba Tecra A4 model number: PTA40E 01500UEN.

    I have a laptop, the foregoing, bought in May2005, so seven years old and starting to show its age.
    I have three hard drives that I use with the laptop, all internal, so I simply unscrew the cover on the underside of the laptop, unplug the internal hard drive and plug it into one of the other drives, according to what I intend to do. All the three internal hard disk are Windows XP, based, but with different applications installed.
    This also works well for me if one of the drives fails. I have two backups etc.

    What I want to know is, what other brand/model of Toshiba laptops would support my drives outside a for like Toshiba Tecra A4.

    Could I connect my hard drives internal on any other laptop model Toshiba and they work very well?
    It s only if and when I buy another laptop if used or new, then I might as well buy a Toshiba laptop that will allow me to plug it into one of my three internal hard drives that I currently use?

    I understand I think laptop internal WHAT BIOS s should recognize the hard disk and the operating system installed on the hard disk. Who else has done and model Toshiba laptops will work with my current Toshiba Tecra A4 of the internal hard drives? Are there, is it possible?

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    There are two types of interfaces of HDD: IDE (PATA) and SATA interface.
    As far as I know the old Tecra A4 supports the controller IDE hard disks IDE should be compatible with this laptop.

    In some cases the IDE controller would treat an IDE HDD up to 120 GB because of 28-bit LBA
    Larger hard drives (> 120GB) are supported by ATA - 6 and superior controller for ATA - 6 supports 48-bit LBA.

  • With Toshiba Tecra S3 RAID hard drive temperature monitoring

    I wonder if there is a software (or a tweak for Toshiba RAID Utility/drivers) that would allow the monitoring of the temperature of the HARD drive.

    Utility known as SpeedFan, HDTune etc., I tried, and that work very well at least with IDE drives, either don't notice not the hard drive SATA RAID at all on my Tecra S3, or they can not access the S.M.A.R.T on the temperature information (possibly information can not pass through Toshiba RAID drivers...)

    Thnx for any comments.

    Hello

    I usedEveresthome edition.
    But I am an owner of the laptop with a disk IDE HDD and to tell the truth I don't know if it will support the feature m RAID.

    But you can test it.
    This utility reports the HARD drive and the temperature of the CPU and provides many useful and detailed information on the characteristics of portable equipment.

    I hope it's going to market

  • Tecra S1 - size HARD drive can I use

    Hello

    I have a Tecra S1 and looking to upgrade the hard drive because it is only the 30 GB model.
    I found the HDD compatible in terms of size, but my question was if there was a restriction on the ability of the HARD drive, or I can go to any size I want?

    Any help would be appreciated

    Thanks Chris

    Hello

    AFAIK the Tecra is supported by the IDE HDD controller and you have the 2.5 IDE HARD drive.
    I guess that the IDE controller supports ATA-100 standard and therefore the LBA48bit would be too pressed and this means that you can use hard disks of more than 120 GB.

    But if the ATA-5 controller / LBA28bit ATA/66 only then would be sustained and in this case, you can only use the 120 GB HARD drive as a larger size.

    Hey Buddy, your notebook computer is an oldie.

    At that time, the supported laptop, 6GB, 8GB, 12GB, 15 GB, 18 GB, 20 GB HARD drive, and the disk 20 GB HARD is, in my view, a maximum size. More is not possible.

  • Tecra 9100 unrecognized hard drive

    Hello
    If I replace the hard drive in my tosh bios indicates no hard disk is installed.
    The new hard drive is MK2016GAP I tried with and without the master/slave relationship.

    Clues?

    Hello

    The MK2016GAP is a 20 GB HARD drive.
    I searched the Internet for the Tecra 9100 and discovered that the phone comes with 40 GB or 60 GB HARD drive.
    BIOS shouldn't t so no problem with the size of the HARD drive. The size of the HARD drive is certainly supported.

    So I think it's a problem of jumper or you did not connect the disk HARD corectly.
    I put t know how the jumper was set to your old HDD, but you should check the position of the jumper and put it also on the new HARD drive.

  • Tecra A3-S611 - hard drive upgrade

    I'm new to this forum and publishing in general.
    We have a Tecra A3-S611 who needs a new hard drive. I do not know how to order a. Anyone would be able to tell me what are the options we have? Can order us a SATA hard drive? Speed? Any size requirement? 2.5 ", Yes? Good suppliers? Brands? Please forgive my ignorance.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    After looking on Google for this model number, it seems that this model uses a ParallelATA (IDE 2.5 "hard disk), you cannot install a SATA drive because the connector is different

    Given the A3 only came out with 40 GB (or there abouts) HDD, the maximum size may be limited to 120 GB due to the LBA48 barrier of 137 GB (limitation of the Chipset).

    So what you want is a 100 GB or 120 GB IDE PATA 2.5 "HDD, clocked at 4200 RPM or 5400 RPM / min. 7200 TPM can become too hot.

  • Tecra S3: SATA hard drive not recognized after XP updates

    Windows has recently completed an automatic update on a Tecra S3 equipped with a 60 GB HARD drive SATA.
    After the reboot required for updaates windows generates a BSOD.

    I've traced the error and found that the system can not find the hard drive.
    Even when I use the XP cd and restore/repair console without a hard drive is located.

    When I check the BIOS hard drive is there.
    I removed the hard drive and used an external case and determined that the hard drive works fine.

    Hello

    Tecra S3 supports RAID.
    In order to install Win XP RAID driver is needed!

    The RAID driver can be found on the European driver Toshiba page.
    It s a v 1.01.0005 for Win XP.

    You can include the RAID driver using nLite. This free tool allows you to include the RAID driver in the Win XP disc.
    Google for nLite for more details.

    Hello

    because your computer has a set of chips Intel 82440BX/ZX, you will have some problems of large drives with 80Gig or similar facility. I've heard users here that 40 GB drivers work well, so if 60 GB works - I know Don t. 40Gig has been proven, so if I were you I would buy a 40Gig pladder and update my bios before installing the drive.

    Should work so perfectly. :)
