Why my Dell Vostro have a Toshiba hard drive?

April 25, 2015, I contacted Dell warranty on my hard-drive on my Vostro 3750. They ran diagnostics, concluded it was defective (Test read HardDrive-Targeted; CFI:N; KYHD:N; DD:N; Dr:N). on 27 April, they sent a replacement under the service request number 910355792. So when it happened, I've swapped disks and returned the defective one. Now fast forward to December when I was able to install Windows 10 Pro. Site Web de Microsoft had only a few requirements to run, mainly RAM, graphics processing and an OS to date start with. I didn't know that Dell had a list of computers that were not to be tested with W10. The installation went along fine and let him update the necessary drivers, have pre-installed just enough so he can start and connect to the internet to update. I was unaware that one of the device drivers to settle and my computer seems to work very well. Then about two weeks ago, he started to slow down. I noticed it would begin to freeze a little bit, but he would always thaw quickly. Then a week ago, I wrote a document of night (College Sophomore so this computer is pretty much my life) and closed the lid for the night. Now, the battery life is already pretty bad, so needless to say it's dead during the night, but when I went to turn it back on it took forever, it lights up. Easily 10-15 minutes just to get to the login screen. I unlocked it and it brought back to my office to plug it back in on my desk, where it remains almost religiously. I then got on Dell Support, which is where I finally found the 3750 has not been tested with W10 and ran a quick diagnosis that says the hard disk, which has been listed as a TOSHIBA is in critical condition and must be replaced immediately. At this point, I had to see what was going on, so I opened the Device Manager went to disks and here, he said that my hard drive is a TOSHIBA MQ01ACF050. Well, that's weird. So I checked my event viewer to make sure and it was indeed migrated, configured and started when I allowed and installed W10 in December. There was also an unknown device in the event log which is how I discovered the missing driver. Then to top it all, the administrative events log had 16 000 events from the moment I installed W10 until today, almost everything else just tell Harddisk0 DR0 has a bad block. duh. So I'm saving all our important documents to an external hard drive and I guess I will be W8 but what I really want to know is why guaranteed Dell send me a Toshiba hard drive. Any advice on any of these issues would be sincerely appreciated.

There are only three manufacturers left portable players - WD, Seagate and Toshiba.  Almost all system vendors use each of them.

  • TOSHIBA hard drive to Northgate 000601002 computer

    R2D2 answered Penjamin (May 2007) on a TOSHIBA hard drive for a computer satellite 000601002. I need to replace the 30 MB Toshiba 000601002 hard drive 03327R in Northgate computer. Where can I find a replacement drive? I guess that a 30 MB to 60 MB will work very well.

    To be honest, Northgate computer don't thing not big words for me, but if you want made disk HARD update contact the manufacturer.
    They can offer you information on the limits of upgrade and compatible parts.

    If there are standard IDE HDD inside you can enhance it with any other similar HARD drive. It doesn't have to be the same.
    Just be sure that the capacity will be recognized correctly.

    Any update has nothing to do with a failure of the drive.

    If you are able to copy all the data to the external (a single copy will do) do so NOW! Also key for the software you have purchased.

    Your dell should have a diagnostic utility that you access by pressing a specific key as soon as you turn on.

    I hope that you have created the system recovery disks when you got your system, otherwise you will need to contact Dell for their.

  • Dell XPS 8700 - secondary SATA Hard Drives don't appear not

    I tried to install two additional hard drives on my new XPS 8700. The machine came with the primary drive connected to the SATA 0 and the DVD drive connected to the SATA 1. When I installed two additional hard drives, I put in the SATA 2 & 3 ports. Hard drives appeared in Windows (8.1), nor in the BIOS. I played a bit with ports SATA 2 & 4 and 3 & 4. Hard drives are not recognized. When I looked in disk management, they weren't there. As a last resort, I unplugged the DVD player SATA cable and plugged the cable on one of the secondary hard drives (which was then attached to the SATA 1 port) to connect the DVD player to the SATA 2 this drive cable port. When I started my computer, all drives have become visible. I don't know why. SATA cables I used comes from a 5 year old computer (like hard drives). Was it a problem with the cables, or is it a problem of SATA port? The first disc hard school should go in port SATA 1?

    I searched the forum and couldn't find a similar problem (http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514/t/19520798.aspx). Eventually, the person back to his computer.

    alexsyseng,

    for the most part, you are right. I had this same problem as well, but I already had the a06 bios. the problem is with the uefi bios feature. its ment to be safer, but causes problems when adding disks. I tried your suggestion to change the secure boot options, but it does not work for me. I found the solution by chance when I went from uefi boot inherited so that I could use my cd discpart of secure erase my ssd.

    so here's the solution, whenever you add a drive, you will pass the bios in legacy mode, then return to the uefi mode. If your computer came with windows 8 then more than likely your bios is set to uefi. When you switch the bios the legacy of your desire to computer error and you say that he has not found any what boot drives. No worries, switch to that return to uefi, reboot and now your system will start properly and all your disks will be visible in the windows and disk management. no need to replace your motherboard. Unfortunately, I spent two hours with tech support and they didn't know that either.

  • Computer does not start if the 150 GB Toshiba HARD drive is connected

    Hi, I bought an external hard drive of 150 GB PX1220E of pc world a few days ago. When I start my PC it sticks on the splash screen, and I have to unplug the usb cable and restart the pc, then connect the drive again to use it.

    Is this an error with the drive?

    Hello

    I googled a bit and it seems that it is really a Toshiba HDD.
    However, for me, this is NOT a malfunction.
    The external HARD disk is connected before starting. So I think that the computer is trying to boot from the external HARD drive and so it freezes.

    You should check the boot order in the BIOS and connect the HARD drive after you start the procedure.

  • External Toshiba HARD drive not recognized on USB 2.0 ports, but only on USB 3.0

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba drive external HARD 750 GB USB2.0/USB3.0
    Now, this HARD drive is not recognized on USB 2.0 ports from my laptop (same thing on my desktop computer) but only on the USB 3.0 port.

    I have try on port USB2.0 computers different (desktop, laptop) but it doesn't work. The LED is the lightning, but the drive does not appear in the file Explorer.

    You have any ideas?

    Thank you

    > Now this HARD drive is not recognized on USB 2.0 ports from my laptop (same thing on my desktop computer) but only on the USB 3.0 port

    USB 3.0 port 900mA feeds. The USB 2.0 port common provides 500mA.
    I think that the HARD drive needs more 500mA power in order to work properly.

    So if you want to use the HARD drive on USB 2.0 ports, I recommend you to use a USB Y cable which allows to connect the HARD drive to two USB 2.0 ports

  • All have a portable HARD drive even series?

    I have a Toshiba A660 and my agent says he has only TOUGH for A665 discs. aren't these hard drives so far? and are interchangeable. ?

    Generally the hard drives on all models of laptops are exchangeable. It is important to use the HARD drive with the same specifications (interface). All new laptops have SATA hard drives inside, so you can exchange your HARD drive with the same or similar, and it can also be different HARD drive supplier.
    In the past I have traded on the many different portable drives from Toshiba with success.

    I put t know what do you mean with the same. Do you mean the capacity or sellers of HARD drive?

  • Why ReadCLOUD he created folders on my hard drive?

    This morning when I pulled my computer, my boot hard drive was full. He has created many problems.

    Created ReadyCLOUD of files to backup on my computer and the files copied from my computer in these folders on my computer instead of sync them to the ReadyNAS102.

    Why we do this? I have these updated files in place on the NAS to synchronize the directories.

    How can I get the synchronization back to actions on the ReadyNAS?

    Hello

    Yes I think so. If you start a new backup without deleting the backup share first a new one will be created with the same name and added a "-2".
