W510 - error HARD drive, gambling problems, calibration of the questions

Hi all users of Thinkpad and Lenovo. I'm new here and to the community of Lenovo.

I just renovated W510 a few weeks and love it. Laptop necessary for photography.

Type series R96RGY4 43195RU

i5 520 M

6 GB of RAM [Update 2GB]

Quadro FX 880M 1 GB

HD + screen 15'6

Seagate 320 GB SATA 7200 RPM

Windows 7 32 bit

Update Bios to 1.38

But having some issues, could not find an answer:

1. as a hobby photographer trying to calibrate using Huey PRO Lenovo recommended tool. Problem is that when I run the software says "could not find the color sensor" and I don't know if I have it. I know, it should be between the fingerprint and keyboard player. What it looks like? How will I know that I have?

If I don't have it, what is the best [possibly budget] way to go on the calibration it?

2. question - half-life 2 game. Downoladed by Valve. Played very well from the beginning with the "recommended" video settings But lately the game FREEZE a lot, it's unplayable!

I installed the latest driver from nVidia 6824, always point of FREEZING. I did back driver, still hurt. [if I remember well, it was well before I did of the nvidia drivers] I lowered same resolution details changed from the top in the middle. None works.

I use GPU counter acquired with Win 7 and it will never more of 130 f. I even had laptop cooler with 2 adjustable fans, adjusted on the GPU area. If the heat is not the issue.

3 HDD issue.

Due to the game that I have run Thinkvantage material test and found 2 ERRORS [could there be FREEZE game question?]

FAILURE - ERROR WHD20-SR7 targeted reading test

FAILURE - SMART self-test short ERROR WHD16-59Y

Here found navigation I use Lenovo Diagnostics bootable CD. I did and got:

Repair of sector test ATA failed - ERROR ID09H-0 CT code "your drive could not be repaired and must be replaced" [nice]

I want to emphasize that I installed Xubuntu Linux as a 2nd distribution. HDD shrunk using the Windows utility, install Grub in the MBR.

All workes very well, except the game.

Can I communicate with Lenovo and replace the HARD drive? About 198 days warranty.

Sorry for the long post, did not make too many messages :-)

Thank you for reading and I would appreciate any help. This day happy user of Lenovo.

The W510 series is known for having badly mounted coolers, I'm not sure if this applies to Dual Core versions however.

Even if your time is low, the video memory could be overheating because the cooler has bad contact with them.

Have you checked the time CPU? What heppens if you run FurMark at extreme burning mode?

You should have this replaced hard drive that's for sure.

  • 03F1 error hard drive at startup

    Hello guys

    Yesterday my friends and I were watching a movie on my laptop via a projector and all of a sudden it freezes, I've tried a few things (Im not completely reduced tech = P) but could not release it so I had to scramble the power button to turn it off and now everytime I restart it it gives me a screen front harddrive error screen (where the little colored balls dance and make the logo of the) window) to boot windows 7. He tells me the error is the number "03F1" and asks me to run the diagnostic, but every time I run it is stuck at 0% (I waited about 35 minutes, did not move a single percentage). After a few times, I just ignored the message and left without running diagnostic tests and my computer booted up fine... it doesn't seem to be a mistake.

    HP disk hard diagnosis is therefore out of the question, I went to run a few others offered by windows, the online version of the hard drive diagnosis and the results were very good... nothing seems to be tested in my hard drive and my computer is running without problems. However whenever I start I have to deal with this stupid screen and hitting a few keys for my pc at startup (I tried the diagnostic hard drive in the BIOs, it gets stuck at 00 as well for some reason any).

    Any ideas? I came across this post on the internet which is almost exactly the same as mine, I really want to get rid of this stupid screen if I do not have a hard drive failure... I mean that my laptop is like only 1 year.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    The process of replacing the hard drive is detailed from Page 48 of your & Maintenance Guide.

    Once this is done, simply use your recovery DVD to reinstall the operating system on the new drive.

    If you do not have your recovery discs, try the link below to see if you can order a replacement.

  • TouchSmart 300 Windows 7, re - install on hard drive replacement problem. Help!

    I have official restore for my Touchsmart 300 disks and try to get it back on a hard drive, which I took from another machine. Drive hard said have left include Win 7 and Win XP. When I try to boot from the recovery CD, I am taken to the old hard drive Artemision boot menu, not the installation of the recovery disc. If I continue on this path there, I get an error message and a suggestion from my hard drive is damaged. Repair disk option can fix anything. Recovery Console doesn't help either. Why the CD read and overwrite all the old stuff on the hard drive?

    It is a good idea.

    They can have tools or diagnostic we individuals have no which can isolate the cause.

    No, at least not by us.

    Open a hard drive for some reason any at all can be done in special
    laboratory as parameters. Something else will destroy the disk.

    There are companies trying to recover data from broken disks,
    and they are sometimes successful. And who knows, maybe they
    sometimes use methods such as what you describe.

    But if you plan to use such a company, know what they
    are all very expensive. It does not for most people.

    For the future, if you have files you want to be sure are not
    lost, make sure to have in place a backup procedure on a regular basis the
    external media player.

  • USB external hard drive recognition problem

    I recently copied a large number of music files FLAC from a NAS drive to an external hard drive. When I plug the hard drive into the USB port on my computer, it is not recognized or appear in the screen 'computer '. Instead, I have an icon in taskbar icon (bottom right of the screen) and when I fly over it says "safely remove hardware and eject the media.

    Please, what this mean and is there a problem with my external hard drive

    Thank you very much

    John

    Start the disk with the connected player manager.

    In the lower panel, check disks and look at the left panel. It must indicate the status of the disc attached. If shown as a foreigner do a right click and "import foreign disks".

    This does not affect the data on the disk and not the alternative option of having to write a signature to the disk. You may also define a drive letter in the right side, until a drive has a letter, you can't see its contents.

    Both say the same thing - 120 GB of free space. 128 886, 263, 552 bytes is 120 GB and 128 GB not

    All hard drive manufacturers qualify 1 GB 1,000,000,000 bytes, while the rest of the computer, including the windows world, defines it as the 2 to the 30th power bytes (1 073 741 824). So, for example, a disk of 320 billion bytes is actually around 300 GB.

    Of some note as the official international standard
    sets the 'G' of GB as 1 billion, not 1 073 741 824. OK, even though they were, using the binary value of GB is so well-established in the world of computing that I consider be misleading on the part of the manufacturer of marketing using the decimal value of 1 billion.

  • Hard drive is not reflected in the list of disks

    Device Manager recognizes a disk but the disk management does not show in the list of disks (affected/not allocated).  You want to set up and assign a drive letter.   Thank you.   Russ

    < original="" title:="" disk="" management="">

    Hello Russell,

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    With the publication of the description, I understand that the hard drive is not reflected in the list of disks on your Windows 7 operating system. I will certainly help you get this problem.

    This problem can occur because of incorrect settings. In order to solve the problem, I would suggest trying the following methods and check if this is useful:

    Method 1: Troubleshooting hardware and devices

    Integrated the hardware and devices troubleshooter can automatically detect and fix most of the incorrect settings and errors that could cause problems with the equipment. I suggest you run the troubleshooter to check if there is no problem with the graphics card. See albums as follows:

    1. open Control Panel

    2. click Troubleshooting and select the option to display all on the left pane.

    3. click Troubleshooting of hardware and devices and follow the prompts.

    Try Method 2, if the problem persists

    Method 2: Make sure that the drive is enabled

    Follow the below mentioned steps to make sure that the drive is enabled:

    1. click on start and type device manager in the search box

    2. click on Device Manager in the control panel list

    3 locate the drives item in the list, and then click the small arrow to the right to expand the list of readers

    If a disk is disabled you will see an icon with an arrow pointing down on the icon of the hard disk

    If you see an icon with an arrow pointing down on the hard drive icon, double-click the icon and click on the button Activate peripheral

    4 then click on activate a device dialog box, click Next, and then click on finish

    5. click Close, and then close the Device Manager window

    Note: If you do not see your hard drive in the listed readers, the player is not detected by Windows.

    Note: If you receive an error message when the hard disk is activated, you can have a bad hard drive.

    Hope the helps of information. Let us know if you need help with Windows related issues. We will be happy to help you.

  • Replaced the HARD drive, but can not reinstall the operating system

    Evening,

    I replaced the HARD drive on my laptop and used the sony recovery media kit, but the error message "can not configure windows to run on this hardware of computers.

    The HARD drive is a Toshiba of the same style and size. Sony sent me two sets of disks, I replaced the HARD drive twice still have exactly the same problem.

    Any ideas before using it as a target would be useful.

    Thank you

    C

    It is possible that the new hard drive, you bought are 4 k sectors and not 512 KB, which is necessary to make it work properly.  If you have a practical clean Windows installation disc that give a try and see if you encounter the same error...

  • HARD drive is not recognized on the Satellite 2800 200

    Hello

    First of all, I'm Dutch so I hope that I do not have too many mistakes in my English writing.

    I bought a 2800-200 Satellite at a friend's House. This laptop has a problem.
    When it is started is says "insert the disk in the drive system. Press a key when readya?.

    My bios is ACPI BIOS version 1.80
    In Pheripheral in Bios it says disc hard = not used Mode.

    On page two discs i/o: HARD drive: no drive.

    I tried two hard drives and the two were not working and not recognized in the BIOS.
    I have no CD of restoration.

    My questions:

    What kind of central computer has this laptop?
    Can someone help me with the recovery CD?
    What can I do to fix this?
    How can I change my BIOS so that the HARD drive is recognized?

    My hard drive is MK2023GAS and is not broken. There is nothing on this HARD drive.
    But also with the disk hard 10 GB of origin, I had the same problem.

    I hope you can help me and once again I apologize for my English.

    Hello

    I'll try to help you my friend.

    > When it is started is says "insert the disk in the drive system. Press any key when ready
    This message appeared on my laptop after the HARD disk is dead.
    I had to replace the HARD drive and reinstall the operating system.

    I guess that it of the same problem with your laptop. The HARD drive is not present or not recognized, and you will need to install a compatible HDD for the operation of the OS.

    I have google a bit and discovered that this laptop comes with the 10 GB HARD MK1016GAP of Toshiba drive. It supports the interface ATA-2/ATA-3/ATA-4/ATA-5.

    Please note that many BIOS have a limit of size of HARD drive. This means that not all HARD drive sizes are supported! I assume a 20 GB should be compatible, but this is just my own opinion
    > How can I change my BIOS so that the HARD drive is recognized?
    The BIOS can be modified outside the update (check page driver Toshiba-> Archive-> archive of Satellite).
    But vary important is that you use a compatible HARD drive.

    > Can someone help me with the recovery CD?
    Don t know if you will be able to order this CD at the service provider allowed in your country, because the laptop is really an oldie. But you should ask the guys.
    What you is to install the OS from the Microsoft CD-ROM and then could install drivers needed.

    Greetings

  • Hard drive is not recognized in the BIOS - Equium A60

    Hi hope someone can help. I have a Toshiba Equium EA60-173 and the hard drive is not recognized in the BIOS. When I remove the hard drive and put it in another laptop it is detected fine. I also tried another hard drive in the Toshiba and that does not work either. So I suspect the IDE controller has disappeared, but can I do to confirm this? I wish there was an option in the BIOS to force detection. I updated the BIOS but still the same.

    This laptop is only just out of warranty, so if it is the controller would I need to replace the motherboard? Are there other options at my disposal?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Neil,

    Unless there is some physical\problem with the cable/connector hard drive, then it is most likely that you will have a new mainboard for your laptop. I suggest you to contact an authorized service partner and ask them to check your laptop and give you an estimate of the cost of the repair. Then you can try to shop for less expensive alternatives.

    Kind regards

  • Hello, my parents computer came RAM volume0 has failed and not be able to start. We went and brought a new hard drive, and its always say the same thing. Any ideas?

    Hello, my parents computer came RAM volume0 has failed and not be able to start. We went and brought a new hard drive, and its always say the same thing. Any ideas?

    A message on the RAID 0 volume failed is a recognizable error message, but the news is not good.

    RAID, by its nature, requires 2 or more drives.  RAID = redundant Bay of independent (or inexpensive) disks

    RAID 0 is the worst of the different RAID choices.  It increases the performance of hard disk by spreading or striping, data on two disks so that he can read and write more quickly. Unfortunately, such a picture offers no protection of data - in fact, it increases the chances of loss of data since the failure of a disk in the array results in the loss of all data on both drives. RAID 0 configurations are standard on high-end and PCs graphics games and provide a performance gain measurable, albeit modest for games, graphics applications and other programs intense from the hard drive.

    In view of the foregoing, the best course of action for you and your parents is to take the computer to a local computer professional - not a type of place BigBoxStoreUSA or GeekSquad.
