• Windows detected a hard disk problem after factory reset?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5320, not old at all. I tried to download a game and then got the BSOD. I had to reset my PC, lost what I had, but ended up from scratch. Now, every so often, I get a message saying "Windows detected a hard disk problem. Back up your files immediately to prevent the loss of information... ». I have right click the disk hard "defective" for the error checking, no errors found. I tried HD Tune Pro, and tells me 'Warning' for the State of health (05) reallocated sector count (failure) is red, and number of events (C4) reallocated (warning) is yellow. Does this mean I have to replace the hard drive? The computer was working completely fine until BSOD. Now it works and everything but I get this error message. The laptop is not only really old and never any injuries, but perhaps past warranty. I really have nothing left to save, because I lost everything when I have to reset it to factory State. Any advice?

  It's really up to you.  Sometimes there may be false positives, but it looks like your drive is really having some problems.  It was even the cause of the BSOD, who knows.

  You can follow the steps of my colleague here to check your drive for errors:
  http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/6221-chkdsk-check-drive-errors-Windows-8-a.html

  But really, I would take the advice and replace the drive.  Or at least be prepared for this 'die', then save your files somewhere else like OneDrive or something so you don't lose important information when it does.

• the hard disk partition

  Walk in which I installed windows is running out of space. It has crippled the performance of my computer

  I have hard time to do the partition of my drive.

  Please show me the way to do it.

  I assume you mean to resize your partition or ghost your current drive on another drive.

  What is the total size of the hard drive?

  What is the size of the partition you have Windows installed on?

  You can find files that might be wasting space that are no longer needed.  Microsoft disk cleanup (cleanmgr.exe) provides at least some basis in first to clean up the files.

  Often users have of many "Windows Error Reporting" and size of memory/application dump files that can be considerably.

• Can't resize external backup Time Machine in the hard disk partition

  I have a Seagate Expansion to drive 3 that I use for storing files as well and Time Machine. Initially when I set up the drive, I allocated 350GB for the partition that I use with Time Machine.

  I use a 256GB MacBook Pro and Time Machine is now advising me constantly backup capsule is short of space. I have 2 questions:

  1. Disk utility does not allow me to resize the partition of Time Machine (I can only reduce the size using resize controls). Also, I can't delete the partition, because the minutes signed is grayed out (see screenshot) - However, I am able to erase this partition. What can I do to resize (and expand) this partition, or delete it and create a larger partition for use with Time Machine?
  2. What is the best size to send to the Time Machine partition in order to keep my Mac saved 256 GB?

  Thanks in advance!

  A drive that is mounted or shared may present as "Busy" that could prevent resizing.

  Try to disassemble the disc (with the assembly/disassembly button in disk utility) and see if it works better. Then mount it again before leaving the disk utility, or do a reboot to mount again.

• Recovery Manager fails to restore the image after the changes made to the hard disk Partition

  Hi support forum.

  I use a HP dv7t quad ed. ive decided to partition my hard drive of 750G. While the partition is on progress, all of a sudden, the monitor turns off and had no picture. I think that, maybe, he had disappeared "sleep mode". I don't have no mode 'sleep'. I'm trying to scroll through the touch pad in the hope that the image will reappear again. but nothing happens. thinking that it is just the monitor was in mode 'sleep' and the hard drive still flashes, I still waited 45 minutes for the process to be finished and maybe it will just restart it self. After an hour of wating, power the laptop off and the power button flashes. I assumed, but in doubt that the partition has been completed, I press the power and it turned off. as I press the power button to turn it on, my computer does not start, and I knew that my computer it was damaged. Ive tried the 3 options to access the F11 recovery but nothing works.

  I hope you cud help me guys. TNX

• Equium U400-145 - where is the HARD disk protection tool?

  I just bought an Equium U400-145, and in the manual it says there is a Protection of the hard disk utility and properties are accessible from the icon on the toolbar or via the start menu in Toshiba - Utilities.

  There is no icon in the toolbar and without Protection of HARD drive in the start menu. Protection disc HARD drivers are on the C: drive, but when I try to install I get a message HDD Protection is not supported on this model. It's strange because the download from Toshiba site lists the Protection drivers from the HARD drive for this model.

  Any who have HARD drive Protection works on this model or know if it should work?

  I have a U400 to and protection of the HARD drive is not available on all models of laptops U400.
  The user manual has been created for all the U400 laptop models and it of possible that your U400 doesn t support this feature!

• Try to migrate from the hard disk for ssd drive

  Hello, 4 days ago I bought dell inspiron with windows 8.1 5748 and a 1 TB hard drive.

  I also bought samsung 250 GB of ssd drive 840EVO to replace the disk of 1 TB of the laptop. I cloned the HARD disk drive and restored the image in the ssd drive and when I mounted the SDS disc and shot to the top of the laptop I got an error that it cannot detect a drive... Press F2 to enter setup F5 for diagnostics and F1 to reboot.

  First I made sure to rise properly. After I checked I entered the bios where I noticed that the drive is recognized in the details of the system. The model was correct, the capasity as well. Fashion was ahci.

  I ran the diagnostics and they couldn't locate a drive.

  So, is this an incompatibility? I checked for updates to the bios and I see I m to date on that. The player is surelly ok as I have tested on another pc...

  What can I do?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi Add1ctiv3,

  We recommend that you use the recovery disks that are you ready when you got your system to restore the image of the original on the SSD hard drive. Since they have the same size, it should work without problem.

• Why the hard disk is divided into partitions of two data (C:Vista and E: Data)?

  I just started a new A200-1V0 and found that disk space is divided into two partitions of sizes equal 'C:Vista' and ' E: Data "(and a small one EISA).

  WHY? What is the logic and purpose? It's not even as if the C:Vista partition is smaller and intended only to the tricks of the 'system' as the root 'Users' (user Documents) is on it also.

  This is the default for Vista (my first use of it), if not, who said that Toshiba could do this without asking me?

  How can I move the root 'Users' in Vista (in the data partition) - if I have two partitions that I might as well use it?

  I can resize partitions in Vista without a utility 3 rd-party (or a complete backup/restore)?

  Thank you

  Hello just YOU

  Please don't be offended because there is no reason for this. You bought the new product with the factory settings. Toshiba and other hardware manufacturer do not know every customer personally and, unfortunately, it was not possible to ask YOU how to set up YOUR laptop.

  Because of this, there is a recovery of product support that allows to configure the HARD disk according to your wishes and needs.

  Please use this DVD and install OS how you want it to be. What recovery procedure starts, you will see CONFIGURATION option on the right side. Click on it and choose the right option.

  Reinstall the OS and enjoy your life. Really, I don't have the time to write on the floors of two partitions, because this is basic stuff and you probably don't want to waste your time to read this.

  Bye and good luck!

• When installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system?

  Have a Dell system, caught a virus and it has really messed up the PC. Recently, it got worse so I tried to reinstall the operating system with the Dell disks. It wouldn't work. So I bought for Windows 7 Professional, it will not be installed. My first question when installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system? Because this does the same as the Dell disks, is to take what is on the hard drive and put it in a folder called windows old, is not formatting the HD. When I boot the disk, it shows the installation of files then open windows and start the installation. Before he could finish I get an error missing or corrupted files. Tried several times now, windows will still not open. Any suggestions? Once while trying to install the pc crashed with a blue screen which is one of the reasons why I have reinstall the OS, he started to plant a few times. I don't remember all the details on my PC, but its 4 years, triple core coprocessors, ram 8 GB, 500 GB HD. At the same time just after all this started in Jan. I had also improved my 3 GB to 8 GB memory. I bought the Dell memory for my system. Since the crash, could there be a problem with these new memory chips? Last night I tried to disassemble each and reinstalling it, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Before I tried to reinstall the operating system, the pc was see the concert 8.

  Disconnect any other (additional) internal hard drives and external USB devices.
  Look for any loose hard drive power or cables SATA, graphics card or other power cables.

  First run Memtest86 +:
  It runs from a floppy disk or CD and should eliminate or confirm if one or more of your memory
  sticks are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
  Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), so no errors at that time then your ram is OK.

• Why the HARD disk is partitioned into C & D on Satellite Pro C partition

  Why the HARD drive is divided and how to use it?

  It is important that the one that I use?
  It turns into one big disk?

  The manual says nothing about this.

  Thanks for any help

  Ken

  Hello

  The HARD disk is partitioned and contains two partitions. The C partition is the system partition that contains the Windows operating system. The second D partition contains data drive HARD recovery.
  HARD drive recovery allows you to establish the notebook back to factory settings without the recovery disk usage.

  But it s is strongly recommended to create the recovery disk! The user manual provides the info on that in case something goes wrong with the HARD drive, the recovery disk allows you to recover the laptop.

  Of course, you can delete the D partition if you want to, but before doing so, you must create the recovery disk.

  However, my HARD drive contains 3 partitions. I created an extra. In my case, the C partition contains only system and the unique software. My files private like Mp3, movies, etc. are placed on the D second partition).
  The third partition (E) contains a folder with games.

• Help - need to consolidate the partitions on the hard disk after system recovery

  There are 4 partitions on my laptop Lenovo w/Vista. They are the main with the system OS etc. files partition, then an extended 9.7 GB partition labeled volume D: 98 GB of unallocated space and then finally the OEM with the recovery image section. I want to create a partition that is important as the C: volume with all that on it. The only other partition would be the volume of the OEM. Now when I try to use the unallocated space (create a simple volume with quick format) it says the operation cannot be completed because there is not enough space on the hard drive; that cannot be true because the unallocated space is 98 GB +. I got the OS to the factory setting thinking that it would be re - format the hard disk for the installation of 2 original score. No luck. I need help! We cannot add a lot of apps of software in the form of program files before the C: drive runs out of space. Help!
