• Satellite L655D-011-HDD/SSD Alert, HARD drive failure?

  I have an old L655D-011 of 6 months and yesterday it started to appear with the message to back up my files because there is a problem with my HARD drive. Well, after having a technical support in the past, I don't give that easily and simply run my laptop to the nearest authorized service center. Instead, I help out.

  I did the BIOS update finally. No change in question.
  Finally had time to create a recovery media. No problem with that at all.
  I reformatted. No change in question.
  Checked the health monitor. It shows that my HARD drive is "good". Yet, when I double-click the icon, I get a pop - up with the following message:

  "Toshiba HDD/SSD Alert."

  Disk0

  Your HARD drive is SMART failure to predict which monitors the status of operation of the HARD drive. Your HARD drive is facing a problem and CHIP controlling the software predicts that the HARD drive will fail. Toshiba strongly recommends that you create a back-up to the date of your HARD drive. Contact an authorized service provider to check your drive and buy a new replacement if necessary. »

  So, after that I decided to run a CHKDSK /f /r. Result: 'windows replaced bad clusters in file name \hiberfil.sys 44990.'

  I should be good to go, right? N ° same problem with the precaution of backing up my files.

  But this isn't good, is it? If my HARD drive is about to fail why monitor health show that everything is "good"? There is no problem with gel, pxe.boot errors, rattling disc, unusual vibrations or read/write failures.

  So, my questions (after all the above and see other threads to ask questions about HARD drive failure messages) are: were there any known issues where the SMART software does not work correctly? Are failure drives hard all from the same manufacturer (I've seen this happen - get a bad batch of a single manufacturer HARD drive)? The health monitor working correctly?

  In my opinion your questions cannot be answered simply.
  > Are there any known issues where the SMART software does not work correctly?
  How many people must confirm that they have the same problem? I guess this happens from time to time, but you cannot say that this problem is known.
  You will always find people who noticed the same issue and not on Toshiba forum only, but on all the forums where people discuss cell phones in general.
  > Is the disk failure hard all from the same manufacturer (I've seen this happen - get a bad batch of a single manufacturer HARD drive)?
  How to check or confirm this?

  You know, during the first backup all your important data, watch carefully what happens the next few days. If the info appears again and again, contact the nearest service Toshiba and let them Exchange the HARD drive.
  The guarantee is valid and it will be free of charge.

• What Toshiba preinstalled programs are safe remove in the form of my laptop?

  Hello

  This is probably the question most google on Toshiba laptops, but I can't get a clear answer so I thought I'd come to a forum. I have a brand new Toshiba Satellite P870 and startup is very slow, and the overall performance of the computer could be better.
  In the list of stuff pre-installed below, I would like to know if there A) would make a difference in performance/speed and B) that I should really delete the

  Programs:

  Toshiba Assist
  Toshiba Config Free
  Toshiba Disc Creator
  Toshiba Eco utility

  Toshiba hardware configuration
  Toshiba hDD protection

  I don't have not really met/used one of these yet and want to know which are worth keeping around, and that I can do everything right on remove.

  any advice would be greatly appreciated, but I tried the Decrapifyer program and it really helped a lot.

  Hi and welcome to our community.

  If it is no longer question of google I really hope that we will find the final answer here. ;)
  At first, I must say that each of us has a perhaps different view of this. Some of us want to use a tool of some and some of us don t like some of them is not possible to give a precise answer to your question.
  In any case I'll start with my personal opinion, but first some general information. Toshiba recovery image contains many specific tools Toshiba and public services, as well as some additional software. Toshiba-specific tools and utilities are designed to help the user with full control for laptop and also the laptop owner to get useful information on updates.

  I repeat again, what I write here is my personal opinion and I want to just describe what I do.
  I delete after clean install of OS of the system
  TEMPRO, Toshiba ReelTime, Toshiba Service Station, and other things like links to eBay, or other stuff that is completely useless to me.
  Toshiba listed specific tools are OK, but I put t need them. They start with laptop and sow in commissioning. TEMPRO and Toshiba Service Station are monitoring tools inform you about the new BIOS or driver updates. As I wrote it is very nice, but if the system works perfectly don't change anything.

  I'll go trough your list and write a comment short for each listed programs.
  -Toshiba Assist very useful tool where you can find shortcuts to all the important of Toshiba and utility tools. Leave the shortcut on the desktop
  Toshiba - Free Config - very useful tool for the monitoring of the network but not must be started with the OS. Don t he remove the disabe just in the starting System. You can start it when necessary.
  -Toshiba Disc Creator useful, but not so important. Depends on the owner of the laptop. I put t use it.
  -Toshiba Eco utility useful but for me personally not so advantageous. I removed it from the system. When I want to save energy, I just use the power of Eve plan Windows.
  -Toshiba Face Recognition - nice tool to play but I don t use. It is removed from my system.
  -Hardware configuration, one of the most important tools of Toshiba Toshiba. Check it out and don t he remove it from the system.

• Satellite L550D I do not see the "Toshiba HDD Recovery"

  Hello

  I was going to use the disk HARD recovery described here link: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm when you try I don't see why the "Toshiba HDD Recovery"?

  Hey Buddy,

• Need TOSHIBA Recovery Wizard, but have simply on TOSHIBA HDD Recovery Tool

  Hello world!

  I bought Windows 7 Home Premium OEM SP - 1 preinstaled in Turkey with model Sattelit L675-10z. Corsica, is in Turkish,

  And as I am not Turkish I wanted to find a way to use it in Russian. Toshiba supports service in Turkey told me that they cannot help me with this, so I have instoled program Vistalizator with the Russian language.

  It has been activated Windows without problem and just "authenticity windows 7" were not working. But I had the opportunity to download all the files to update windows without notifications.

  After 6 months of work, my child is delited some .dll files that I understood and also he deleted all the windows recovery points to sistem windows recovery.

  And when I tried to use toshiba HARD drive recovery, I was surprised. Before I got the toshiba laptop with windows 7 (also satelit L series) and it was easy to recover, but http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm I'm shoked. When I try to push button 8 in the bios I have not any TOSHIBA Recovery Wizard... .i have just TOSHIBA HDD Recovery Tool the same situation with button 'Zero' in the BIOS.

  Toshiba Recovery tool do not give me a chance to recover windows fair he also wants to erase all my files in all drives.

  I have also done with Toshiba Recovery Media creator usb charger and you have find it also gives me opportunity just to clear all my files in all computers.

  but I also find there a file setenv.ini with the following parameters.
  [Commune]
  Packer = ImageX
  InstallCMD = \inst.cmd
  FactoryInstallCMD = \facinst.cmd
  PartitionSizeGB =-1
  MinPartitionSizeGB = 15
  DefaultGUILang = English
  NumLang = 1
  Hnum = R13026TE
  [Lang1]
  Lang = TRK
  OS = Windows Win 7
  ImageName = 11898XSP.swm
  ImageIndex = 2
  WinREIndex = 1
  FS = NTFS
  StartMedium = 1

  and 2 files with name boot.wim so I think I can install windows 7 without erasing all my records? and there is also possibility to choose the language?

  Or maybe I should ask toshiba company servise on help?

  Have no idea what to do. Do not want to pay for another license, do not want to lose all my files, and want to use lisansed BONE in my native language or in English.

  Or if that's not possible, I would like to get the Turkish version of windows.

  Thank you
  Natalya

  Hello Natalya

  First some facts for you. I hope that this will help you understand some important things.
  Computers notebooks are specific products of countries and every laptop on the Turkish market is actually for people who use Turk language. In other words, they will get operating system and keyboard for that language.

  Each book is available for some countries of preinstalled language and there is no way to activate a different language. If you live in Russia and use the Russian language you should get Windows7 on your language and install it on your laptop. All the necessary drivers tools and utilities can be downloaded from the Toshiba support page. Of course, to the clean OS install, you must pay for the license of Microsoft. The button down belongs to the original version (Turkish language).

  When you install the operating system using the recovery image of HARD drive you Turk language again and the problem is not solved for you. In my opinion you n t to use this image at all. You can't choose your Russian language and, in general, this recovery mage Turk is useless for you.

  My advice to you if you want to keep this notebook:
  -change the keyboard (Russian language) the nearest Toshiba service for help. they can order and exchange it for you
  -installation disk install Win7 using Microsoft original (Win7)
  -install all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities from Toshiba download page the link is on this forum page (support Top sites)

  Please read all this and let me know if you have any other questions.

• Upgrade HDD/SSD on Qosmio G30-126

  I'm trying to decide if I should upgrade existing at a larger size HARD drive or just a large and an SSD.

  Question 1: what is the size for the two new HARD drives because the power supply is limited?
  Question2: For now, I run the two HARD a disc, so no RAID. Is it possible that I can determine what is on which drive? I do not envy the dumping everything on a drive connected and then import the new HARD disk.
  Question3: Is there a substantial improvement in speed when using the SSD as a HARD drive? I run W7 professional and compared to Mint example startup is pathetically slow.

  Appreciate answers or suggestions.

  Hello

  Qosmio G30 already supports SATA interface and so general, interface SATA has no capacity limit. If you can install a SATA 2.5 HARD drive with all the sizes. Ore of 500 GB drives is no problem on SATA interface so it s on applications and data based on what size you want / need.

  If your laptop is capable of managing 2 hard/SSD drives, you can buy an SSD 128GB for example for Windows and your applications and a HDD (500 GB) for your data.

  Disc SSD is faster than hard drives, but they are more expensive. SSD are perfect for the OS itself and programs but for data such as photos, music, etc. Hard drives are fast enough.

  Hello

  What HARD disk utility do you mean exactly?
  On the Toshiba European pilot page you can find the HDD Protection Utility but this utility would work on laptops with a HARD drive shock sensor. So if your mobile phone does not support such sensor, this utility will not working and would not protect the HARD disk

• ProBook replace 450 G1 HDD/SSD

  Hello

  I want to upgrade my ProBook 450 G1 E9Y39EA with an SSD. So my tought, I have replace the HARD original with the SSD drive and I take ot the optical drive and I put the HARD drive in place, through a Caddy. But in my understanding, the height of the optical drive is 9, 5mm, while the Toshiba HDD (which comes with the s) is about 10 mm (0.4 in).

  So my question, is this a problem, or the HARD drive will fit just right?

  Thanks in advance!

  Not exactly. The HARD drive will fit in a caddy ODD of 9.5 mm.

  

  https://www.jacobsparts.com/items/HDDBAY-02/

  You have the right idea. In the caddy/adapter optical drive is not bootable and will roll at a slightly slower speed, still good enough for storage crude but does not for the operating system running. Put the SSD in the computer and the old HDD in the adapter optical caddy.

  I can make a perfect copy but when I change the HDD SSD won't.
  Can someone explain me what I have to do?

  In my opinion after Exchange of HDD with SSD, you must install the original recovery image and start using your laptop with the 'settings '.

• How to open external HDD box 3.5 "320 GB Toshiba HDD?

  I have an old 3.5 "320 GB Toshiba HDD (model: http://pan2.fotovista.com/dev/2/5/00496952/l_00496952.jpg)
  (and no more warranty) I think it is broken I don't know. Because it has power and the light flashes but do not start the HD (I mean it there is no "this" sound start).

  So my question is how do I open the case to connect it directly on my PC or what I can do?

  SRY for my bad English ^^

  Hello

  Looks like a failed disk head crash HARD, etc.

  In my opinion there is not a lot of options.
  If the warranty is valid then you should visit your dealer and ask for replacement, fix, etc.

  If the warranty is not valid the dealer would not replace this part.
  What to say, in this case you can try to remove the support HARD drive (don t ask me how, I don't t have this HARD drive) and could try to connect it to a desktop PC using an IDE or SATA cable (depends on the HARD drive) to make sure if it is possible to gain access to the HARD drive
