Satellite A500-1C0 - Windows has detected a problem with HDD

Good day,
Notebook shows me that Windows has detected a problem with HDD. The notebook is slow and the chops. And when you turn it shows me Smart Failure predicted on hard disk 1. Toshiba MK 5055GSX - (S2). Can you help me? (Im CZ)

Hi Konyga,
If you already get a warning about internal HDD before Windows starts I would recommend exchanging it and backup all data as fast as possible.
Is your notebook still under warranty?
If yes you can get a new HDD from an authorized service provider. This would be for free because its covered by warranty. Everything what you have to do is contacting an ASP.

Window detected a hard disk Problem on my Satellite L505-S5988

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite L505-S5988 with window 7 Home Premium 09 Service pack 1. It is 2+ years old and my hard drive is Toshiba MK3263GSX 287GB. Lately, I got a window warning message as “ Windows detected a hard disk Problem. Back up your files immediately to prevent information loss, and then contact the computer manufacturer to determine if you need to repair or place the disk….. The following hard disks are reporting failure: Disk Name: TOSHIBA MK3263GSX Volume: C:\ “.
Since then, I have imaged my laptop and run malware/spyware softwares, and it looks like my computer is clean. The laptop device manager said my hard drive is working properly. However the warning keeps pops up. I opened Administrative Event Viewer and found the below warning:
“Log Name: System, Source: Disk, Event ID: 52.
The driver has detected that device \Device\Harddisk0\DR0 has predicted that it will fail. Immediately back up your data and replace your hard disk drive. A failure may be imminent.”
EventData

D000000000000000000000000
Besides this warning, there are also other errors and warnings back to years ago, such as AFS failed to load, print service… Despite all these errors and warnings, my laptop seems to be running OK. I was not prevented from doing anything that I usually do.
Questions:
Is there a tool I can run to verify that my hard drive is truly bad?
Can any tool further identify where?
Can it be repaired? Reformat? Or I have to replace with a new one?
What options I have if I have to replace with a new one?
What is average cost of it?
Any help will be highly appreciated.

..the warning keeps pops up.
That's good enough for me. I would replace the disk.
You can verify it with the free trial of HD Tune.

Windows Detected a hard disk problem Toshiba Satellite L505-S5988

It has been about 2 months since I had my new laptop and first I coudnt get the flash cards to work so I finally fixed that and now everytime I start windows an error message comes up and keeps coming up every 10 minutes saying:
Windows detected a hard disk problem
Back up your files immediately to prevent information loss, then contact computer manufacturer to determine if you need to repair or replace the disk.
-> Start the back u process
-> Ask me again later
Show details
Which disk is failing?
The following hard disk are reporting failure:
Disk Name: Toshiba MK3263GSX
Volume: C:\
Please tell me how I can fix this because I called Toshiba support and the guy couldnt even figure out the drivers name for flash card.
Toshiba Satellite L505-S5988
Thanks

your hard drive is failing. you need to do what it says. back up everything and then either call toshiba to have it replaced under warranty or buy a new one and change it yourself. this is where all of your info and files are saved so if it fails without you backing it up you lose everything.

Satellite L30-113 Memory Problem

I have a Satellite L30-113 that is not reporting the correct
memory size.
The system was supplied with 512Mb and I have installed an additional 1Gb
Stick but for some reason windows is only reporting 896Mb installed, and the Graphics card
is using 128Mb. The BIOS is also reporting that only 896Mb of ram is installed.
When I run system Info for windows it only detects the 1GB module installed
although if i remove one memory module and have either the 512 or 1GB installed
it works fine.
I have also installed the latest BIOS and this doesn’t seam to
have had any affect.
Also both memory sticks have been tested in an other laptop so i know they both work.
Are there any issues with mixing memory sizes in these laptops or do the memory
sticks have to be matched sizes?
The OS is Windows XP Pro

I don't agree, because usually L30 supports not only the same modules. One of my friends has 512mb Hynix and 1gb Kingmax in his L30 installed, and has no problem with it. There's a guy in another topic how uses 533mhz and 667mhz modules together, and he also has no problem. So I think you should choose the modules carefully and I recommend the same modules too, but it doesn't mean you couldn't use different modules in L30. Mostly you should care about the manufacturer, for example Kingmax, Kingston, Corsair, Samsung, Hynix could be a good choice. I'm sure there are another good brands too, but as I see usually there are no compatibility problems with these modules.

Satellite L30 (PSL30A) - Need new drivers for Windows 7

Hello I am trying to update my notebook from Windows XP to Windows 7 and need new drivers.
My machine specs
Satellite L30 (PSL30A-00100E)
1.6 Celeron M
2GB RAM
40gb disk space
ATI gfx card (Radeon 200m?)
Intel chipset
Realtek RTL8139/810x family network card
Realtek High Definition Audio Device
Only the gfx card, sound card and network card need new drivers
Hopefully I can do this

Thanks so much for the swift reply's :) I had Windows XPsp3 running very well on this old computer and was quite happy with it. I decided windows 7 being new I'd give it a go anyways, so I can go back if I have to. I am going to battle on though I think this is achievable. Found this thread on another website, I am giving this solution a go www.sevenforums.com/graphic-cards/35629-radeon-xpress-200m-problems.html as it sounds promising.
Thanks for your help...... next the soundcard......lol :)

Satellite L30: Vista problems with pages minimising

Hi,
i have just bought the toshiba Satellite L30 laptop and i am am having problems with pages minimising whenever i click on the page. Most of the time this happens when i click on the scroll bar, but it also happens when i click on any part of the page and when im typing.
It's getting very annoying. I have only had this laptop for about 2 weeks and the problem has been there since day one. Im runing Windows vista home basic.
Does anyone know the cause and/or how to sort it out?

Hi there,
be more precisely with your error description, because its hard for anyone whos reading this to find out some problems without knowing which "pages" do you mean. What a kind of program do you use?? Word, Internet Explorer or what???
Please, do us and yourself a favor and tell the problem with more details, that we can maybe help you. Or at least make some thoughts about your problem. :)
Greetings ;)

Windows vitual PC / XPM on Satellite L30-105

Hello,
I'm running Windows 7 on my Satellite L30-105. And it's running very well.
Right now I would like to install Windows Virtual PC to run Windows XP Virtual Mode. But the laptophardware does not support
a vitual pc. Is there any solution for this problem?
Thanks anyways.
Ciao
Guido

Hi
Sorry mate, I have not good news for you but there is no solution for this problem.
The point is that Virtualization must be supported from the hardware (CPU, mainboard, chipset) and BIOS too. That means you cant something to use Virtualization.
The only option is buying a new notebook. ;)

Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) Windows Vista does not see DVD-ram UJ-850s

Hi
I have a Satellite L30-105 (PSL33E) with windows Vista. Windows Vista doesn't recognize the DVD-ram any more. The BIOS recognize the DVD-ram. I did try to download the DVD-ram drivers but they are not on the side of Toshiba.
Who can help me to get the right driver or know more? From the problems with the Mat****a DVD-ram uj-850s ATA device and windows Vista.

Hi
The CD/DVD drive does not need special drivers!!!
The Vista includes a Microsoft driver which works with all ODDs (CD/DVD drives)
Simply said, the Vista should recognize the drive without any problems.
Some questions; did you get any error messages? What is the device manager status? Do you see any yellow exclamation marks?
There is an old way to fix a similar drive issue. It worked under XP so try it on Vista OS.
Its necessary to update the registry entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
1. Click on the start menu.
2. If this is a Vista machine in the search box type in regedit without the quotation marks.
3. search the registry key mentioned above.
4. In the right panel youll see something along the lines of UpperFilter and LowerFilter you want to click on each filter key and hit delete. Click yes when it asks to confirm if you wish to delete the key.
5. Restart Windows.
6. Let me know if this works.

USB slot of Satellite L30 shuts down Windows when in use

I recently bought a Satellite L30 (psl33E) for my wife, and all seemed to go well. That was until she needed more usb ports for her stuff, and used the port on the left hand side of the machine (as opposed to the one always used, at the back.) As soon as she tried to use this particular port, the box shut dow, and has done so ever since.
Could someone please tell me how to repair this, as it's only a few weeks old, and I'd rather not have to take it back to the store where it was bought.
Hoping for a miracle.
TIA.
JimmyMack.

Hi,
sounds really like a serious hardware issue. I assume that the USB port cannot deliver enough power when the other ports are in use.
If I were you I would bring the machine back or contact the nearest available service partner in your country and let them fix that problem.

Windows 7 on MacBook Pro Retina late 2013. Showing popup window as "Windows detected a hard disk problem"

I have installed Windows 7 64 bit version in my MacBook Pro Retina(13") late 2013 model . It was working fine from last 8 months but recently popup window showing as "Windows detected a hard disk problem" once login. Please check the following image.
I have contacted Apple Support team. They have tested the hard disk while booting from Mac OS and all the reports showing as hard disk is fine. Then I thought might be it was some virus and removed the Bootcamp partition and re-installed Windows 7 Operating System. But once updated Windows 7 with latest updates. This message showing again.
Would you please help me out to fix this issue. Anybody faced similar issue?

No I think that all drive are really on failure
I've boot with an ubuntu livecd and smartmontools see also the failure.

When I use the Mac disk tools from the startup menu, it see also the problem.
Now the big question is : Why I've this type of issue with 2 MBA and 1 Macbook pro 15".
Their configurations are the same : windows 7 with truecrypt.
Maybe Windows drastically reduces the lifetime of the Apple SSD drive.
The 3 Mac are used for less than 6 month !!!!

Problems with Ethernet controller and PCI device driver on Satellite L30-10X

Hellow!
Sorry for my bad English, I'm from Russia.
Just few days ago I bought Satellite L30-10X with W Vista on board. My opinion, that this OS does't very good on this computer, so I install W XP.
I have some problems with drivers. At first, I dont know what model I have:PSL30 or PSL33? I download all drivers for both models. But, after installation, computer doen't find drivers for Ethernet controller and PCI device...

Hi
Satellite L30-10X belongs to the PSL33E series. This number can be found on the label placed on the bottom of the unit!
You have to choose this number from the driver download form to get the compatible XP drivers.
I dont know why you are not able to install the LAN driver. Ive got the same notebook with Vista and Ive installed the XP and all drivers run fine.
I assume you have installed the drivers in wrong order. Please take the look in the Toshiba installation instruction txt file. In this order you have to install the driver! Its important.
I think you should install the XP again to ensure the clean registry and then download and install the compatible XP drivers like mentioned in the installation instruction file.
Good luck

Itunes keeps closing as soon as i open it and states 'windows has detected a problem' HELP!!!!

Help!! Itunes keeps closing straight away and message states 'windows has detected a problem' HELP ASAP PLEASE!!!!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

"itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration" Now Itunes doesn't work on my windows 7 machine. What to do?

I have a Windows 7 system. ITunes used to work fine. Recently I am getting a message:
"ITunes has detected a problem with your audio configuation. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly."
I have reloaded and repaired ITunes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime. Nothing works.
Itunes doesn't work any more on my machine. Anybody?

Hey there bogusss,
I would recommend the troubleshooting steps from this article named:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot run because it detects an issue with QuickTime
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1371
If this issue occurs with iTunes 7.0.2 - 7.6, customers may instead see this error message:
"iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration"
If this occurs with iTunes 7.0 or 7.0.1, customers may instead see a -200 error when opening iTunes 7.
Resolution
QuickTime may need to be reinstalled. Follow the steps below to uninstall QuickTime and then download and install QuickTime using the QuickTime standalone Installer.
On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
Windows XP and Windows 2000: Open the Add or Remove Programs control panel and selectQuickTime in the list of currently installed programs.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Uninstall a program (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click Programs and Features) and select QuickTime in the list of currently installed programs.
Click the Remove button (or Uninstall for Windows Vista and Windows 7) and follow the prompts to remove QuickTime from your computer.
Download QuickTime. Note: There are two options for downloading QuickTime, be sure to select the option that does not include iTunes.
During the download:
If you choose to run the installer, proceed to the next step.
If you choose to save the download, double click the QuickTimeInstaller file, then proceed to next step.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install QuickTime.
Reopen iTunes.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling
