• Satellite L350-170 - sounds of clanking from the HARD drive

  My laptop Satellite L350-170 performs a kind of rattling noise when the hard drive light flashes.
  Is this normal because this is a replacement one but that I had did not all sounds.

  Hello

  It is very difficult to say why this noise appears.
  I have two laptops. On a laptop, the HARD drive clicks and creates its strange but 4 years it worked correctly.
  The other HDD doesn t create sounds

  So, as you can see not really easy to tell what could cause this noise of rattle, but I recommend creating a file backup.
  In the worst cases could die your HARD drive and as a result, a backup is always recommended.

  You said that the HARD drive has been changed so maybe you should ask ASP for more details and maybe this HARD drive will be replaced again.

• Satellite M30X - high use of the hard drive

  Once the connection in Windows XP (SP2), my computer toshiba laptop is very slow. The hard drive light is permanently on during 5 minutes. I looked in the Task Manager, but the CPU usage is low and RAM usage is low. There is no program which seems to use a lot of CPU or RAM.

  I actually disabled the pagefile to see if problems due to intensive use of the paging to the HARD disk file, but the problem persists. The laptop model is Satellite M30X-113.
  I don't know if it's related, but this problem is posed at the time that I have subscribed to a 256 MB RAM module and installed a 512 MB (making the total RAM 1024 MB).

  Did you buy compatible RAM module recommended by Toshiba (high quality product) or some piece of cheap hardware?

  By the way: have you also tried to wipe the HARD drive using the cleaning disc or as option Defragmenter?

• Satellite A305-S6825 - HARD drive light flashing sometimes

  I have the Toshiba Satellite A305-S6825, I bought in April. 250 GB and 3 GB of Ram.

  I notiice sometimes, when I'm not working on what the hard drive light flashes for a while. Is this normal?

  I have not checked all programs (I think) to a setting with automatic and/or scanning, etc.

  Are there any programs that are running in Vista Premium without me using the working on the laptop?

  I hope that the laptop is not broken.

  Alice

  The laptop is certainly not broken. The same thing happens with my two laptops from Toshiba.
  In the background, several processes are active and it is possible that antivirus checks or scans the HARD drive.
  Maybe some updates are installed at the moment. It can be anything.

  In any case, don't worry about it. Everything is OK.

• Hard drive light flashing.

  I know this has been asked before, but I do not see a satisfactory answer.

  I just installed Win 7 HP 64 bit on a new desktop. Once the system has been installed, the HARD drive light flashes at a constant speed of approximately 1 second.

  I checked the Task Manager and note that one solution wbengine.exe, offered in the past, does NOT work.

  However, I notice that the blink rate is about the same performance update in the Task Manager.

  Someone at - it a solution?

  After an initial Setup, things like the search indexing and early reading lights until the system installs.

• no boot device after replacing the hard drive

  Hello world!

  My laptop (MSI) has erupted recently in my face (Fried GPU seems).  As I had and liked (Acer laptop) which had a broken hard drive, I have supported up to my datas and replaced the hard drive of Acer (one broken) with that of my MSI (latest laptop)

  When I start the computer I get the message no bootable device: "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key any."

  I am not very savvy computer science, but I feel that it is perhaps due to the version of Windows I was using: my Acer running on Windows 7, when my MSI will run on window 8.  Could someone confirm if this has something to do with the startup problem?

  Here's what I managed to do or find on the problem.

  When I go into the BIOS, I changed the order of precedence so that my hard drive is the first priority.

  There is absolutely no USB or SD card in my computer from where he might try to start (unless he's trying to start from an empty?).

  The BIOS is able to tell me the model and I installed the hard disk MSI series so I guess that it is able to detect the hard drive, but can not find startup data in it (that's why I think it's maybe because it isn't the same window).  In addition, the hard drive lights up when I start the computer (and he did it on the MSI laptop too).

  Even if the hard drive seems to be detected, I always tried to unplug and reconnect it a few times to make sure it wasn't just a matter of bad connection.

  On many web sites, they recommend taking any diet and empty any current computer before restarting: unfortunately I can not do because the Acer laptop has a battery that is not easily accessible as newer computer (it cannot be removed from the outside, I need to open the laptop to get it and it is so I can know what it look like and how to remove it)

  My brother managed to recover data from hard disk of MSI with a USB device that plugs on it, so I don't think it's broken.

  The computer is an Acer Aspire 5830TG.  Replaced hard drive is a toshiba MK6459GSXP (works on Windows 7) and the replacement is a WD7500BPVX - 22JC3T0

  I want to apologize if my English contains errors, it is not my mother tongue :)

  Please let me know if you need more information and I thank you for your help!

  Hello

  You cannot move a hard drive with Windows 8 on it from a computer and put it in another machine that were previously running Windows 7 and expect it to work.

  It will not.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  And even if it would work physically, legally you cannot transfer the license of Windows 8 of the MSI laptop Acer laptop to your situation:

  Read this information:

  If the laptop came with the preinstalled Windows operating system (Dell, HP, Acer, etc.), this product key supplied with the laptop is preinstalled OEM license and is not transferable.

  OEM license/product key (systems of operating pre-installed on Dell, HP, etc.) is related to the first machine it is installed on and dies when dies of this machine.

  The above applies also to OEM system builders licenses.

• Portege R200 - how to replace the HARD drive

  Fundamental questions about the Toshiba Portege R200 (purchased model birthday Thailand August 2005) are:
  (1) Please provide instructions to remove the hard drive (non-functional) (illustrations if possible)
  (2) model has enough space inside for hard drive 2.5 inch? (Impossible to locate 1.8 inches and below, to get the results of [expensive] calls to Toshiba - of interest only)

  Background:
  (1) while 3 years warranty in force I trecked (expensive) of Malaysia in Bangok (where to buy) at the headquarters of Toshiba (if you know Bangkok taxi drivers, you'll know what a test or going around in circles and the nonsense in the fire that was)... Toshiba agreed HD vibrating but reported would take 3 to 10 weeks to get the HD replacement (!?)
  (2) I was a few weeks later to the r - u (to tie)... They told me they couldn't help; I "should contact my provider...". This is an Asian model, in Europe, we cannot... etc etc.
  (3) a week later the HD has no
  (4) I contacted Toshiba but they told me the warranty expired 7 days before...
  (5) since this time I phoned and was put on hold for Toshiba in the region of London (several times), Singapore (3 times), Thailand (well, if you know how it goes, say-no more, shots of elbow-boost)...

  I got nowhere. But were invited by the media to bring it to the headquarters of Thai (yet)... It's all right, I'll book a flight and hotel etc now, shouldn't cost all that much more than the computer cost me initially...

  Oh, another thing, not very important: to help out me, I bought a lighter machine at Toys R us... 300 quid... for the love of antiquity I always want to get the old dog to this shiny Silver Anniversary edition slim R200 works again...
  I have a 2.5 "HD available (recond and costs all 9 quid in Brummagem) but before I destroy the old R200 dog by ineptitude... (and lost to carefree annoyance no assistance of Toshiba)... and/or on how to remove HD, please?

  Hello

  I have seen words about your question.
  AFAIK the R200 was equipped with the utility of the HARD disk protection. It is a feature to reduce the risk of damage to the HARD disk.
  Using the acceleration sensor built into the computer drive HARD protection detect vibrations, shocks and sings in the computer and automatically moves the HDD Head somewhere course, in order to reduce the risk of damage.
  But this function does not ensure that the HARD drive will not damage! It reduces the risk of damage!

  However, the HARD drive can be removed very easily.
  At the bottom of the unit, you will find the HARD drive Bay. It s close to the battery (on the left).
  You need to remove two screws to get access to the HARD disk 1.8.

  PS: You can use disks hard only 1.8. The 2.5 hard drives are not compatible.
  I discovered that you can use a TOSHIBA 60GB 4,200 rpm 1.8 HDD HDD1544BZK01

• Toshiba Satellite L50-B-1DJ does not supply power to the top after removing the HARD drive

  Hello world!

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L50-B-1DJ. It has a 750 GB HARD drive, but it wasn't enough for me. So I bought a Toshiba 1 TB HARD drive. I have undone all the screws, carefully (using my driver's license), lifted up the plastic and removed a HARD disk.

  BTW, I really like this plastic solution on the HARD drive!

  Then I realized, that all my stuff is still on it.
  So I put the HARD drive, I'm going to copy everything on my drive hard Ext. planning.
  Well I screwed it back, got the battery, put the back of the AC adapter.

  Battery charge light was on, indicating that the current flows. I pressed the 'Start' button, and nothing happened. He broke yet still nothing. I plugged the battery and the AC output adapter, I held the Power button for 30 seconds, put everything back still nothing. I got scared. Opened back once more, just to take a look at, so anything that slipped on. Nope.

  Everything is a okay. What should do? I have the warranty? I hope not.
  Can I fix myself without void my warranty? I hope so!

  And also: I bought the laptop in Hungary, but I'm in Germany. Can I fix here in case my warranty is valid?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  Sincerely,
  Bertold Juhasz

  PS: As you say that English is not my native language, please don't flip out on my grammar I know it's wrong

  I just took the hard drive out of mine and put it back to see if I could reproduce your problem after trying several times I had no problem.
  Have you checked the pins at the end of the hard drive to see if all are damaged, another that I can't imagine what else.

  ICH habe just die Fliegengitter aus von mir gemacht und wieder, um zu sehen, ob ich das problem nach dem Versuch're mehrmals I had keine zu make a replication problem.
  Haben Sie die pins am Ende der Tiger uberpruft, um zu sehen, wenn eine beschadigt sind, dass ich nicht, except a great denken nichts.

• No HARD drive light on Qosmio X 870

  Hi all

  I m coming on this forum to post something that has my curiosity because I bought my Qosmio X 870, 3 years ago...
  This series has no HARD drive light and I wonder why...
  I mean, it looks like "slikier" without light... But this HDD light is very useful in my opinion, it gives me a reading how my HARD drive works when my computer oar, allowing me to solve some problems and simply check the health of my laptop computer in general. I have to put my ear on the side of the HARD drive and listen to it if it is working or not, boring.

  Why is it like that? Is this just for the style?
  Thank you.

  We can discuss here everything, but no one here can tell you why this model Qosmio no HDD LED. Always new and new design I think. My S50 - B Satellite has not too much.

  To be honest, it is very useful to have, but I don't miss it at all.

• 1297cb HP P7: lack of response from the hard drive or windows 7 to my monitor help

  Greetings.  I have a HP P7 1297cb, all original material except the memory and hard drive.

  Original OS at home, is now Pro.
  I thought that my hard drive has expired and bought a new WD 2 TB black.
  And I don't have the other HDD cause I already threw out.
  
  So, here I am.   I installed the WD Black again and nothing.  Monitor powers and that's it.
  I get a hard drive light to everything first, about 5 to 10 seconds and off.  Touch HD and feels light low race.
  All fans and fees lights.  Power light on.
  
  No NumLock or number lock lights.  Œuvres and key/monitor / mouse, as I am with them now.
  
  Shot four sticks of 2 GB memory and get the beep.  One at a time plugged in no beeps and back in.
  You use a Windows 7 Pro disk rebuild for installation.  When the computer starts, I tried F10, F12 and nothing.
  I even pulled the mobo battery for a few seconds.
  I disconnected the power supply cord (pc) and held in the power button for about 30 seconds.
  I even turned on with the installation disc in and waited (until at least 20 minutes) to see if the screen would change nothing.
  I am willing to check the cpu, which remains the only thing to check, I'm guessing that about it.
  I get no beep or beeps when the pc starts.
  
  So, I guess also, that my problem was not the hard drive in the first place. ???
  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hello;
  
  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
  
  I don't know what a "Windows 7 Pro Rebuild disk'- so I don't know if it's any bootable media.

  Unless you changed the default device sequence in the start section of the configuration of the BIOS, it will look at the HDD FIRST and since it is empty, the PC will simply sit there - nothing to do.

  So, you must get to a boot device selection screen to boot from the DVD of Win7.

  The typical ways of doing are to press F9 or F12 - one of them will be implemented a unique boot device selection menu.  Then, you select the DVD drive and the PC should then restart.

  It can display a line of text at the top of the screen, something like «press any key to boot from...» "If Yes, press the space bar.

  If the DVD is good, the PC will then start on the initial screen for the installation of Windows.

  Good luck

• Equium A100-147 - clicking noise from the HARD drive

  For awhile, I had clicking noise from the HARD drive and when the laptop could not, I assumed the reader was packed but trying a replacement nothing happens. I get a blue light for battery and a blue light (low) for the supply of direct current, but nothing for power or disc. However, when I plugged in an external drive yesterday it starts fine and when I unplugged the laptop continued to work the internal drive. But even once this morning he died and will not start. I read that the BIOS can stop recognizing the drive or maybe that the settings are not being saved when it is off. Could it be the motherboard battery?

  > reading the BIOS can stop recognizing the drive or maybe that the settings are not being saved when it is off

  Enter the Bios (press f2 at startup) and check if it recognizes the hard disk. You can see on the home page or the boot option in the Bios.

• Connect the HARD drive internal USB Satellite

  Hi all

  I try to reconnect to a computer laptop HDD in USB, but can not access.

  1. my old Satellite no longer lights up.
  2. I removed my HARD drive and connect it via an external USB box to my new Satellite.
  3. it is listed under disk drives Device Manager: "TOSHIBA MK2046GSX USB Device".
  4. I click on the button "complete" and can not get information except ability and no volume (disk is NTFS).
  5. in disk management, I get the error "data error (cyclic redundancy check)". the disc is "not initialized".

  NOTE: I've already put a password on the drive via the BIOS, I have of course I still not know that and I hope that it is to note the source of the problem...

  Thanks if you can help me with this question.

  Hello

  First of all: the HARD drive is not a problem if you can't turn on the laptop.

  If the HARD drive is faulty, you may not be able to boot the system, BUT you would be able to turn on the laptop.
  A home screen Toshiba usually appears at the beginning of the boot order.
  Do you see this screen?

  If not, then your RAM modules are defective or there is a severe motherboard issue.

• U430 power and key flashes after removing the hard drive

  Hello world

  I just bought a U430 touch and try to put in an (Sandisk Ultra Plus 256 GB) SSD.

  I followed the instructions on how to open the lid and remove the hard drive as described in the maintenance manual. I created a USB startup disk and changed the order of boot from USB. But when I try to press the Novo key to then proceed with the installation of Windows, the power light and keyboard just begins to Flash slowly. I tried it turn instead to use the Novo key and the same thing happens.

  I tried to do it with and without the key USB is plugged. I also then put the old hard drive and put the top back on and he always does. I thought maybe that just means that it is in mode 'sleep' but by pressing the power or by pressing the keys does not help.

  Can someone help me please?

  Thank you.

  Pretty beast feeling right now. The memory seemed to bottom, but it wasn't.

• Swapped the HARD drive of the Pavilion G6 2264sa with a Pavilion G6 1331sa HARD drive / brightness not wking... !!

  Hello

  Hope everyone is well and wonder if anyone can help me. My problem is my daughter's laptop, she is in the middle of the student to College and all of his work is on his laptop which is a:

  HP Pavilion G61331sa/1.6 GHZ AMD Quad-Core A8 - 3520M APU with Dual Radeon 6620 graphics card + 7450 M / 6 GB memory / dedicated graphics video AMD Radeon HD 6620 + 7450 M bi - GPU (1 GB of DDR3 memory) / 750 GB SATA (5400 RPM) HARD drive / running Windows 7.

  Unfortunately, my son accidentally spilled juice on the laptop. I quickly took all the preventive measures, turn off the power / battery disassembly / HDD and upsets the laptop. I also left in the closet of broadcast for a few days to dry out, then tried again. It lights up and the power light stays on and the fan works but the caps lock button warning light flashing and the screen remains empty, even when I try to use an external monitor via HDMI connections again the external screen is blank. It seems that most of the spill was on the left side of the keyboard because the keys are very sticky this side. I talked to HP to my problem that the laptop is still under warranty, however as we know that it does not cover accidents, and no, we don't have the coverage of the accident. My daughter is in the middle of exams a solution was needed pronto. It was suggested by HP techy guy to buy the modern equivalent with the same HARD drive and just change the HARD drive and update all the drivers.

  I bought a HP Pavilion G6 2264sa / Intel® Core™ i3 - 2370M / 4GB memory / 750 GB SATA Hard Disk Drive / graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 (up to 1.65 GB) running windows 8 (64-bit).

  I changed the HARD disk as proposed and updated all the drivers. There was a slight problem starting up but just had to go into the BIOS at startup (F1 key) Startup Configuration / settings and do know the Boot from the HDD instead of CD ROM, etc.. The HP Pavilion G6 2264sa started with the G6 1331sa HARD drive and works very well. My daughter doesn't have to worry about spending time to find away around a new laptop and windows 8. everything is just where she knows that it is.

  The only problem I have is the brightness (f2 and f3) doesn't seem to work and the screen is very bright degree to cause a headache. I have uninstalled and installed the graphics drivers but still no control over brightness...!

  Any ideas where I have gone wrong?

  Your suggestions and ideas will be very well received and appreciated.

  Thanks in advance...

  This computer does not display any right screen?

  And caps lock flahs once in 4 seconds?

  If it has been: is failled into a CPU and they want also to repair or change your motherboard.

  In any case, go to a place and make planning expenditures compared with the price of your laptop.

  Other way, the disk its ok so your girls its safe.

  You are very wellcome.

  If the HP Forum do not delete my account, I will have more pleasure and response.

  Tank You
