• Windows XP system restore Boot Failure with new hard drive

  HP Touchsmart IQ546t running Windows XP Home Edition

  Here is my story:

  A few months ago my PC was informing me that a hard disk failure is imminent and how can I back up my data.

  I was able to get most of the data backed up and has continued to use the PC.

  Finally, the hard drive failed.

  Not being not able to find system restore disks, I ordered a set of HP.

  In the meantime, I was able to save the rest of my data using an external hard drive enclosure, a laptop and a backup disk.

  I used system restore discs to erase the hard drive and restore the operating system.

  After the successful restoration, I was able to boot my PC and use it for a few days, but again became imminent hard disk failure message. Yet once again, the hard drive failed and I was unable to use it.

  I decided to replace the hard drive, thinking I could install and use the system restore disks to get the installed operating system.

  I followed all the instructions, I find and could not start the machine to the point he will recognize the recovery disc. I receive a message that tells me to insert a bootable media.

  Does anyone know what I'm missing here?

  Is there something I can try to get the hard drive to boot to the point he will recognize the recovery disk?

  Thanks in advance for any advice.

  Hello

  OPS, sorry on this subject.  If the recovery discs are not recognized not so you act have a problem trying to get the new HDD to be restored.

  Try the procedure below and see what happens.  View your results.

  Cyberlink CD recovery for hard drives. When you created this CD, insert it into the system that fails to start, restart, and wait until you see a window with a green check mark.  Next, remove the CD and insert your first recovery DVDs.  Reboot the PC and go through the process of installing the operating system again.  If all goes well, it should install properly this time.

• Blue screen error: 0x0000001a when using system to restore with new hard drive disk

  original title: blue screen error when you use the system disk to restore with new hard drive

  I bought a new hard drive to my computer because the old one gave me a bunch of error messages on screen blues. I installed in the tower and tried to use my restore and system recovery disks that the manufacturer has given me, the process has got to the last disk then asked for the system once again restore disc, and then began to load the last steps and went to blue screen error. I don't know what to do, I mean it's a whole new drive hard, so where could the error come, theres nothing on the hard drive because I have not yet used really, yet. Help, please

  I have finally fixed the problem myself. The problem was that one of the sticks three memory was bad and the only way I could test this error. I took two sticks a left, used disks I had and was able to restore my computer, then I put a stick, turned on the computer, had no errors so I let him, so I put the last stick in and com immediately on, I had the Disconnections: memory management and that's when I knew that the last stick of memory was bad I took it back and now my computer works well and I can't buy more memory for not too. So if someone gets this BOSD error on memory, I'd say 8/10 computers have bad memory (not a number). If youcannot run the tool of diagnosis of memory like me then I would suggest to do what I did with the trial and error, it was the only way to understand the problem. Thanks for your help

  My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also saved to the time capsule. Everything is in 'Data' when I look through the Airport utility. I think that the information that I've lost are still there since I was a Capsule 3 to.

  Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.

  The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.

  Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...

  You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?

  By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?

  Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

• Re: System Restore disk compatibility with disk HARD Non - Toshiba

  Why not? I don't see any problem there.

• Problem with connector hard drive to spring on T43 motherboard

  My T43 (type 1875) cannot operator unless I am pressing on toward the down on the palm rest above the spring certainly drive connector.  This connector seems to be designed to move upwards & downwards on two positions.  44 pin hard drive seem to connect indirectly to the motherboard via 44 springs in this assembly.  This Assembly should be compressed manually for the system to communicate with the hard drive.

  I do not understand the physical design of this connection?  I certainly do not understand the purpose of this complicated mechanism.  It is part of the protection of the hard drive?

  To correct the problem, I see two possible solutions;  either compress the springs, then bend the stems of alignment to maintain the State of compression, which makes electrical connections or replace the motherboard.

  If someone put me on how I could fix this?

  Note of the moderator; email address removed before finding too much spam

  This is common with the T4x problems and those who have not been carefully reassembled since the Council can become cracked over time especially when door one-handed from a corner as a person would natrually.

  Even models 15 inches and their solid upper bezel can experiencine this issue, but the models 14 inches and the palm rest of split and are the most sensitive.

  The system works when you press the right ALT just below and to the right of the trackpad?

  If you took the palm rest off the power, then press the plug of the battery, it restores the operating system?

  If so, you may be lucky that the Council itself cannot be cracked but it could be the connectors of taking battery BIOS on the Board and in this regard a $3 repair. Cut the connector and replace with a new one or cut and reweld to ensure that the circuit is solid.

  If it is cracked, you can hold with some high quality neoprene since used neoprene "shrink as styrofoam when exposed to heat and pressure. Shim planks will run, but the added stress of ttignehtning it back together can create other pauses as you are bowing the bridge so that the stress has to go somewhere.

  In addition, the system will work better if it remains stationery for a portable shim will pass when the goods are shipped under nomral conditons.

  Finally, the entire system will be brick and you can save or part the rest of it.

• How can I make a DVD of the restore hidden in my external hard drive partition recovery

  How can I make a DVD of the restore hidden in my external hard drive partition recovery because I want to recover my toshiba satellite L840 that does not respond directly to my hard drive so I put my laptop to an external HARD drive and then I want to copy a DVD recovery partition

  Your question is a bit confusing, you can boot the laptop at all? Have you tried booting in safe mode, you can make a recovery DVD set from there, the folder Toshiba.

  With the drive in the Toshiba, you should be able to use a F, F10, F11, or F12 key to activate the installation from the partition hidden started upward.

  Otherwise, you can contact Toshiba, and with the model of the product id number and the laptop for Windows, you can buy a set of disks.

• A40: problems, I think that with a hard drive

  Hello! Bit of background - had a laptop Toshiba SA40 ISI during a little less of 2 years, and there have been some major problem with it in these last days (until then it had been beautiful and functional with brio).

  He started working yesterday incredibly slowly, took forever to load, kept on crashing etc. After the restart for the 5th time, it would have just send me to the "Windows didn't load correctly screen ' and ask me to select an option, and whatever that I did sent me to the toshiba load screen, Windows does not at all.

  So I had use the product recovery disks and reformat the hard disk. For half a day, the laptop was working once again excellent, no problem. Then this morning, out of nowhere, it completely crashed again. I rebooted, and again the same problems appear. But now I can't used the product to reformat recovery disks. A few times he reformatted then the screen became all black. The error messages became more in worst - now, when I'm trying to recover, comes up with an error message:

  GDISK (e) cannot write to sector 0 of the fixed disk 1 - the IDE controller error

  F0ollowed by a little more information, I have not a chance to note that the screen then recovering flashed, then the screen says:

  !!!!!!!!!! Error!

  Then a screen that says:

  DAY 02/05/06
  Error No.: 11030
  Message: Invalid destination drive

  He has gradually deteriorated. I think there is a problem with the hard drive, the previous messages referred to make it incapable of partition. It is quite anmnoying as it came straight from heaven. Everyone has experienced or heard of something like that? Anyone know what is the problem or what to do? How do you think it will cost you for difficulty? I don't know if it is covered by the warranty, or if this series comes with 2 year warranty.

  Any help would be much appreciated

  Russell

  Hello

  If the warranty is valid, then all replacements will be done free of charge. If you are not 100% sure so call the Toshiba service in your country. Please note; If you open the notebook (remove covers) by yourself if you will lose the warranty.

• Satellite A20-S103 - crackling noise with new HARD drive

  Hello together

  I upgraded my laptop A20-S103 with a hard drive Western Digital WD2500BEVE 250 GB running under Windows XP Pro.
  Since then, I have problems with the sound and the movement of the mouse when the CPU usage is high.

  Up to 50% of its use, works well but before I crack and mouse sticks and made jumping movements.
  The BIOS and drivers are updated to the latest versions of Toshiba online.
  After awhile and a lot of research, I got also the HDD running in DMA mode with the IDE4008.exe ALI tool isn't that hard drive is running in PIO mode.

  In addition, I think that the speed of the hard drive is low when the CPU usage is high.

  Please also read http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=89990𕾆 that is showing that I'm not the only one with this problem.

  Anyone know a solution?

  I agree with Akuma. You should try to update the BIOS and drivers from the chipset and see if it works or not.
  It's worth to try ;)

• Raid PowerEdge r.620 with single hard drive controller

  Hi all

  I have Dell PowerEdge r.620 with 1 * 1 TB hard drive, Raid Controller using mini H710... When I try to install Win Server 2008/R2 x 64 the HDD is not detecting, I've read in this forum of the disc cause hard does not detect is pilot raid is not installed, but I don't have that single hard drive is possible to set up raid with single hard drive or I don't have to use raid controller but I still don't understand how to set up the server with no raid...

  Thank you...

  Dimm21

  Sorry for the late reply, do you mean raid controller in the server? If you want to say, I always do not install driver coz is new server than i've got...

  I want to know, if posibble install raid on one hard drive and how to configure who... Server raid controller is mini H710

  Thanks for your response

  Yes, the RAID controller.  One you have?  I'll assume a PERC H710 for now:

  The H710 PERC is NOT compatible non-RAID (you cannot use a single disk without RAID)... in order to use a hard drive, you MUST configure a single drive RAID 0.  This must be done in the RAID controller BIOS utility, accessed by pressing CTRL-R during POST when prompted.

  Once configured, you need TO load the driver for the operating system, see the drives connected to the controller.

  If you have a H310, it SUPPORTS no RAID, so you do not have to configure anything in the RAID controller BIOS, HOWEVER, you MUST always load the RAID controller driver during installation.

• Possible to replace an SSD with a HARD drive?

  I am currently working on HP Mini 1030nr a friend.  It was sold with a 16 GB SSD and now the operating system broke down.  We decided to go ahead and upgrade to Windows 7, however, the SSD is too small.  I'd rather not go and spend $100 and more on an SSD to replace this one.  I'm able to go out with a HARD drive instead?  16 gb is hardly anything.

  Well, after having read little more on it and opening it up, I discovered that although it CAN be exchanged with a HARD disk, it cannot have a 1.8-inch HARD drive.  I have more of a problem to find these tiny hard drives at a reasonable price.  So, Yes, you can use a HARD drive, but it's almost better just pay the bucks for a new SSD to go through the trouble to obtain one of these mini things.

• Of a VBox OVF 0.9 to VMWare image with 2 hard drives

  Hello world

  I'm trying to convert a VirtualBox 3.1.4 image with 2 hard drives with OVFTool 1.00 x 64 linux.

  ~/VirtualBox$ ovftool - noDisks MANAGER .ovf-SDM SDM - MANAGER .vmx

  Source OVF opening: SDM - MANAGER .ovf

  Target VMX opening: SDM - MANAGER .vmx

  Error:

  -"3" of the "vim.vm.device.VirtualIDEController" device has been found. Only '2' permit

  I can't find the solution to the problem. Could someone help me on this?

  I added the ovf file to the post!

  Kind regards

  Jeroen van Hoef

  Hi Jeroen

  A quick glance on the OVF, you have as far as I can see that you have 1 IDE controller using 'address = 1' this translates to be IDE 1 controller on the motherboard. Controllers IDE are the default devices you'll be controller IDE automatically get to address 0 defined for example the 0 on the motherboard IDE controller.

  Second, you set the CD-ROM to use AddressOnParent = 0, which is the same disc 1 with InstanceId 8 AddressOnParent have.

  A fix for your OVF is therefore to define a second controller ide like

  < item >

  < rasd:Caption > ideController0 < / rasd:Caption >

  < rasd:Description > IDE controller < / rasd:Description >

  < rasd:InstanceId > 20 < / rasd:InstanceId >

  < rasd:ResourceType > 5 < / rasd:ResourceType >

  < rasd:ResourceSubType > PIIX4 < / rasd:ResourceSubType >

  < rasd:Address > 0 < / rasd:Address >

  < rasd:BusNumber > 0 < / rasd:BusNumber >

  < / point >

  map the drive to use it (you can do this by changing the Parent = 2) ide controller.

  It may be useful

• Problem with large HARD drive &gt; 2 TB

  Hi people.

  I have a new server with 4.5 TB in RAID 5 and I would use it for Virtual Machines.

  But whatever I do, the local data store by ESXi cannot be more than 1.41 TB (I guess 600GB's for Esxi itself).

  So there is a limit of 2 TB that Esxi is only 32-bit?

  I divided my raid and installed Esxi on a disc Go 700 and would like to create a different data store on 3 TB raid.

  But unfortunately, if I use the data store on the first HARD drive (say 500GB) I can only create another store of data with 900 GB maximum.

  VMware Infrastructure shows me that there is more space on the raid, but it is not available for partitioning, or to assigning a new data store.

  A way to solve this problem?

  I have 6 x 750 GB SAS and would prefer RAID 5 for all discs, resulting in 3.5 TB disc space

  I would llike to use every bit on my local raid.

  regardless of the size of the LUN, using all available space is not a good idea.  You must leave a free space (15-20%).
