• Tecra S11 - 140 - HARD disk Protection works only with windows 10

  After a clean install of windows 10 in my laptop S11-160, Device Manager does not recognize HARD drive Protection sensor, so in the HARD disk Protection settings, this option cannot be enabled. Is it possible to fix it, or I come to windows 7 and then move to 10?

  Another problem is that when I try to burn a dvd or a cd, I get an error: "write speed is too fast or too slow. The reader, MATT * A DVD-RAM UJ890AS, worked perfectly on windows system 7.

• Why the hard disk is divided into partitions of two data (C:Vista and E: Data)?

  I just started a new A200-1V0 and found that disk space is divided into two partitions of sizes equal 'C:Vista' and ' E: Data "(and a small one EISA).

  WHY? What is the logic and purpose? It's not even as if the C:Vista partition is smaller and intended only to the tricks of the 'system' as the root 'Users' (user Documents) is on it also.

  This is the default for Vista (my first use of it), if not, who said that Toshiba could do this without asking me?

  How can I move the root 'Users' in Vista (in the data partition) - if I have two partitions that I might as well use it?

  I can resize partitions in Vista without a utility 3 rd-party (or a complete backup/restore)?

  Thank you

  Hello just YOU

  Please don't be offended because there is no reason for this. You bought the new product with the factory settings. Toshiba and other hardware manufacturer do not know every customer personally and, unfortunately, it was not possible to ask YOU how to set up YOUR laptop.

  Because of this, there is a recovery of product support that allows to configure the HARD disk according to your wishes and needs.

  Please use this DVD and install OS how you want it to be. What recovery procedure starts, you will see CONFIGURATION option on the right side. Click on it and choose the right option.

  Reinstall the OS and enjoy your life. Really, I don't have the time to write on the floors of two partitions, because this is basic stuff and you probably don't want to waste your time to read this.

  Bye and good luck!

• Y430: Not sure that turn off hard disks is no...

  I have a Vista-based Y430. I am now on feeding management of Lenovo on Vista (thanks to this forum) but I'm not 100% sure what the selection of "turn hard drives off" does, well, obviously it turns off hard disks but which live the user when this happens? I noticed that when my computer is put to sleep (even if plugged in) for a longer period, it stopped but restarts when I open it up. It is since turning off hard drives or is it something else? It seems to happen only after having been asleep for over an hour. It drives me crazy because it closes everything I had opened. I'm the type of user who likes to open documents, browsers, and even games for long periods. I scanned for viruses and spyware, but I don't think that's the problem. So, I think it's the judgment of hard drives, but since I'm not sure that I thought I'd ask.

  Moderator Note: Type added to the line object for clarity.

  It is the complexity of the problems in P - and C-States of the processor, Vista driver model and drivers themselves. It cannot be cured by what it is. The only way for you is using Hibernate mode instead of view 'sleep' (I do).

  Regarding the stop discs on a charge down zero - it is useful energy saving because order HDD consumption less power, but spinning upwards and dwn constantly does no good on the HARD drive itself, so this prefferably not not to use this function.

  Write when the cache is enabled: when data are written back to the hard drive, it is written in the cache that is much faster to actually write to the hard drive. An acknowledgement of receipt is then sent by saying that the data has been written on the hard disk, when in fact it does not. In this way so that the data is actually being written to the hard drive to the rest of the system can continue to work. However memory cache is volatile, if the power goes off, the data in the cache is destroyed and if it has not been written to disk hard and yet he's lost.

  If your settings are correct. Usually the drives are configured for performance and the write cache is enabled. While flash drives and memory cards are configured for the fast-moving and write cache is disabled.

• Error - 10008 # replace hard disk 1

  I'm sure that my hard drive has become bad, other messages that I read.

  I don't have any data out of this device.  In fact, I was about to start deleting old data so I could give this device to a family in need.  Went to start the computer to start this process.  However, when I went to do this, he went to BSOD.  Messed with it a bit, then I got BSOD.  I have fillany calculate to run the test and got the 10008 # replace 1 hard disk error.

  As always, I want to give to this family that laptop, my question is: where I could buy a cheap replacement hard drive.  Is it difficult to do? And I don't think I have a back up / but on the operating system installation disk.  I have to do to get us to open and it would be affordable.

  I'm totally willing to put in the work to get to the top and go, but was woundering if anyone would be willing to give me some instructions on how to do it.

  Thank you 1 million for all advice and assistance.

  Hello

  Regarding the reinstallation of the operating system on the new drive HARD, here are two options.

  1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.

  Order HP recovery disks.

  2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

  Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

• External hard disk compression

  -What this means: "compress this drive to save space?  I have a HDD external I store most of my files and data. It's the drive that I back up my files on the computer, just in case I should need to restore my system.

  Can compress a disk drive (my external HDD) create problems with the performance of my system.  I apologize: I have Windows Vista Basic Home Addition.  Pls advise.

  Thanks in advance for your attention to this matter,

  Pookie Bear

  Hello Pookie Bear,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

  Compression of your hard disks of data gives you more space, however, you will see a performance decrease as when the computer needs to access the data, it must first unzip, write to it, then recompress it.

  In addition, you encounter the risk of data corruption.  I don't know the size of your external hard drive, but if it's big enough, you shouldn't worry about compressing.

  Please let us know status.  Thank you!

• The constant hard disk - system and DiagnosticAgent.exe wrote to 300 different activity. Files of the PNF at a constant rate - starting programs negatively impaired.

  Something similar to this began after a time, I was installing updates (somewhere in June or July). A month later, after I installed SP2 via the update, the problem presented differently (just as bad). Here's what I found recently of the reliability monitor and performance:

  -DiagnosticAgent.exe > C:/windows/inf/infcache.0 = wr 1.5 MB/min x 2 (constant) (sometimes up to 6 x)

  -System > loads of instances (~ 500) on. The files of the PNF in C:\Windows\inf\ =
  mainly writing<100kB in="" but="" some="" write="" up="" to="">
  -Diagnosticagent.exe > loads of instances (~ 500) on. The files of the PNF in C:\Windows\inf\ =
  mainly writing<100kB in="" but="" some="" write="" up="" to="">

  (total of instances of 1000 files .pnf; 300 different ones, several up to 12 instances of the same .pnf, half of them at least 4 instances of the same .pnf.)

  I don't see many cases playback from the hard drive. Even at 100% highest active time, the graph of the disc in the performance bed also monitor, an average of only 2 Mbps. When Disk Defragmenter is running, it is an average of 50 MB/s.

  This constant HDD activity about 1000 cases write in 30 minutes continuous .pnf files after startup and after awakening from sleep. While that happens, most of the programs, after loading, do not react for 5 minutes, then run as usual. Even the message control user account often fails to appear before it expires (in 2 minutes) during this time.

  I tried Googling on hdd constant activity on the PNF files, but did not find much.

  I will try using the restoration of the system again, although I had a few unsuccessful attempts with her.

  I have Norton Antivirus installed, which scans for viruses periodically. It is not really the cause of this unknown and unusual hard disk activity I know.

  Hi Tiscando,

  Welcome to microsoft windows vista forums!

  You did any recent changes of hardware on the computer?

  Have you run a memory diagonstic test?

  This question may be occurred due to services (3 programs) running during startup.

  I suggest you put the computer in a clean boot and check:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135 - how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista

  (By putting the computer in clean startup - you can find which program is causing the problem)

  Note: Turn the computer back to normal once the test is done.

  Analyze the computer from infection by the virus:

• SMART failure provided on hard disk 2: WDC WD 3200AAJS-55RY-AO (S1) __WARNING: IMMEDIATELY back up your data and replace your hard disk drive failure can be immenent

  Please help... I dunno what to do one day, I came home from work and my new about sony vaio desktop has been frozen, so I rebooted and now I have this message when I try to start and I do not have a vista disc or a recovery disc and am worried my lost data as I do not know how to save at this point because I can't even in the windows operating system Vista.  can someone help me please?

  We must believe the error message telling you that your hard drive is about to fail. If you are not technically proficient, take the machine to a local computer technician who will try to back up your data and then replace the hard drive. Do not use a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad of the place. Otherwise, you may be able to get the data saved by one of the methods below and replace the hard drive yourself.

  1 remove the drive and put it in a box of USB drive or use a USB adapter. Attach it to a computer that is running a working XP/Vista/Windows7 installation. Use the work of Windows Explorer to copy the data to the hard drive of the system to the rescue and burn data on cd or dvd. I prefer not to do it if I know the drive is infected because he has a chance to infect your host system. In these cases, I use #2 below.

  2. you can start the target computer with a Bart PE (if you use XP) or a Linux live CD like Knoppix and retrieve the data in this way. General information about the use of Knoppix for this are:

  You will need a computer with two cd records, one of which is an engraver of CD/DVD OR a USB thumb drive with sufficient capacity to store your data, OR an external hard drive formatted USB FAT32 (not NTFS) *. Download Knoppix .iso image file and create your bootable CD. If you do this in a previous (XP or Vista) operating system, you will need the third burning like Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn software (Windows 7 can burn .isos natively). Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Then boot with the CD that you created, and Knoppix will be able to see the files in Windows. If you use the USB key or an external hard disk, right-click on its icon (on the desktop) to get its properties and uncheck "read only". Then click on it to open it. Note that the mouse action by default in the window manager used by Knoppix (KDE) is a simple click to open instead of double-click traditional MS Windows. If you want to burn CD/DVDs, use the K3b program.

  * My understanding is that you can now write on NTFS from Linux partition. If you wish to do this, Google for instructions on the use of the NTFS driver.

  http://www.Knoppix.NET

  IMPORTANT - If there is no question that the drive is at fault - there are noises, for example - and the data is crucial NOTHING else ON THE DISC. Whenever launch you this player you can destroy data. If this is the case, send the drive to a professional data recovery company. I use savers by car, but there are others. General prices run from $500USD on-site. Investors recovered all disk data on a portable player that failed for one of my clients, and it cost $2 700. He thought that it was worth the money; only you know what's worth your data. I understand that some insurance companies now cover fresh data recovery so check with yours.
