Hard Disk problem - Lenovo G470

Dear Members,
Good Day!
Over the past few days, I have being getting warning messages in Intel Raipd storage technology app that " Disk on Port 0: At risk"
I have ran a hardware scan on my Hard disk and have noticed few of the tests getting failed, I have gone through many of posts in this fourms and understood that, my HDD is having some problem and it may crash any time.
I have taken back up of my factory default recovery disks in to DVD's. However I would like get clarified on few things related to replacing the existing HDD and setting up windows 7 in my new HDD.
1) After replacing my OLD HDD , In my new hard disk do I need to create the C disk with same size as that of OLD HDD for the OKR to work and restore everything properly.
2) Will the one key recovery feature work with my new HDD as well? If not , what should I do make it work?
3) Will the OEM parition( having factory default backup )be automatically created in new HDD ?
Please find the Hardware sacn result below from Lenovo solution center.

Maximum size for Hard Disk in Lenovo 3000 N100

I have the Lenovo 3000 N100
it came with 100 GB Hard Disk 5400 RPM
What is the maximum Hard Disk that can be used. Can it be of 7200 RPM or only 5400 RPM?
Thanks for possible reply

@ortegaluis: my hard disk crashed a few days back (i have 3000 n100 and currently running the machine on a 1 gb pen drive )
was planning to buy a 320/500 GB hdd : seagate or western digital or hitachi (since hitachi was the one intially installed)
Could you please tell me, which one would be best? (it seems you have experience in the field)
Do i need to look for specs any other than these: 7200 rpm, 2.5" ?
Thanks
PS: all those who want to know possible behaviors of hard disks before crashes, visit http://datacent.com/datarecovery/hdd/hitachi . Mine gave a clicking sound exactly like the one on the page. Worked for a few days before giving up. If you hear similar sounds, back up your data immediately unless you want to loose it like i did

How to Upgrade Hard Disk on Lenovo 3000V100. Copying the IBM_Service hidden partition - solution

For anyone else who wants to upgrade their hard drive I offer the following solution.
The problem is that simply copying the C: drive over to the new hard drive doesn't work. The new drive hangs when booting. It turns out that Lenovo in its wisdom(?) requires that a hidden partition must be copied as well, the IBM_Service partition of 5.1G. I tried multiple ways of copying the drive that did not work
- Apricorn EZ copy didn't see my new drive at all - that may well be because I was working with a 2004 version - they haven't responded to my email questioning that.
- DriveImage XML copied the C: drive with no problem, but couldn't see the hidden partition in copying mode.
What worked?
I used my copy of Acronis True Image 11 to do the copying, making sure to keep the hidden partition the exact same size since I'd had indications in a Lenovo forum that was important.
Just boot from the CD. You'll have to use the manual mode.
The interface is a bit unnerving because you keep having to go "back" to really go to the next step in making the partitions the size you want. Other than that it works very well.
This worked flawlessly. The machine booted with no problems. I now have three times the disk space.

Help me hard disk of Lenovo 3000N100 0768-Dku has problem

I check my hasd disk and see it an Sata disk. But my computer driver it as an Ata drive. And now, when i set up Kaspersky antivirus, it make an problem with physic memory error. I check disk by PC doctor 5, and see smart short self test failure. Please, help me.
Lenovo 0768-DKU

First thing would do is immediately backup your data, starting with the most critical.
SMART is pretty damned dumb, actually.
It tries to guess on when a drive will fail by monitoring the rate at which sectors become unreadable.
Typical scenarios include SMART claiming a drive is about to fail, but the drive humming along for years, and SMART saying nothing while the platters grind themselves to junk.
So...your drive may fail soon - it may not.
You'd feel pretty silly though if it said it was going to fail and you did nothing.
I'm a little confused though by the "physic memory error" you mentioned.
If you actually have a stick of bad ram, all bets are off.
I had a stick turn up bad recently on a system that had been plagued by data corruption, and I *thought* it was either a bad drive or bad controller.
Before ripping it apart and starting to swap parts, I ran memtest86 from an Ubuntu disc, and discovered the bad ram. Swapped it out and the mem problem was gone, and no *further* data corruption occurred.
However, some data damage was already done.
In that instance, I wiped the drive, restored from a known-good image, and carried on.
The problem with bad ram is that a file can easily be damaged in a way that is either undetected, or misdetected.
So....my advise would be to grab a linux disk, boot to it, and run memtest from the menu.
If that fails, power the system down until you can remove/replace the faulty memory.
If there are no memory problems, I would remove and replace the drive, putting the old (faulty) drive into an external usb enclosure for possible data recovery.

Just bought a Lenovo 3000 N200 without a hard disk drive, need software

I just bought a Lenovo 3000 N200 Type 0769-BLG assembly date 07/09 from e-bay, it looks brand new but it had a fault, it was dead, perhaps a faulty motherboard and the hard disk drive had been removed. Assuming I can get the fault fixed, where can I get the Lenovo software that came with the original hard disk drive, I would prefer a free source, if that is possible, perhaps some kind person has put all of the CD's on to a DVD that I can borrow or buy a copy of. I was an IBM employee for 30 years before retiring 15 years ago. Dan McLean in Scotland, UK.

But it restarted fast into the lenovo white logo before I could make of the error code.Afte that, I was not able to boot into operating system I did bios setup but hard disk is not detected. Until now I am still stuck at not being able to boot my operating system due to hard disk not detected and not in boot menu option..Help anyone? (my probable guess is hardware malfunctioned?)

If the hdd is no longer detected in the bios then the possibility is that you have a crashed hdd and therefore need to replace it. Just to be sure, go to bios and set everything to default. Save and exit. See if you can now see the hdd in the bios.

Lenovo Hard Disk Issue - Felt bad about the service

This email is regards to the complaint on Lenovo All in desktop i purchased which is still there in warranty.
I purchased All in one desktop on 25/02/2014 in one of the outlet of Reliance Digital, Bangalore,India.
Below is the detail of the product -
SN : CSxxxxxxxx
Product Family : C240
Machine type : 10113.
I was getting "Error 1962 : Operating system not found" . and raised a request to rectify the problem. The service engineer came with new hard drive for replacing it. I asked for my data and they told it's customer responsibility to make the data back up. He himself gave the hard disk which was there with hard disk and asked me to back up with some third party vendor.
I visited Cadons, Bangalore for data back up and after checking Cadons engineer told hard drive is completely dead better contactLenovo again so that they will repair it and give one it is repaired i he told he will be able to make data back up.
I again called customer care executive and told that third party vendor was not able to make the data back because of hard drive failure but they are refusing to repair hard drive and each time i am receiving a call from service engineer and are just trying to close the ticket at the earliest by replacing the hard drive. No one is bothering about repairing the hard drive and helping me to take my data back up.
For your reference :Ticket number : TVSE/IDEA/7006373733/
I also sent email to [email protected] from whom i am receiving the emails stating that they will resolve the issue but no action was taken from last 20 days.
I just wanted to check whether Lenovo execut\ives are really meant to serve customer issues? If somebody is there please let me know. Otherwise i will just throw this harddisk and say good bye to Lenovo and it's products in future.

Installing Lenovo Windows 7 upgrade in a new hard disk

I have an U330 and I have received Lenovo Windows 7 upgrade disc. My pre-installed OS is Windows Vista.
I bought a new 500 Gb hard disk and I want to change my U330's hd for this new one AND also want to install Windows 7 in this new hard disk.
Question: is is possible to install windows 7 using Lenovo Windows 7 upgrade discs directly in this new hard disk?
Or do I need first to change the hard disk (and restore backup or restore factory default) and then upgrade to Windows 7?
Thanks in advance

I dont think it is possible,the upgrade disk will check for a eligible version of Windows vista before starting the installtion
Cheers and regards,

T60 - Hard Disk (other than lenovo and IBM)

Hi,
I want a buy 160 GB hard disk for T60 - 1952 - CTO model.
Will T60 support 250 and 320 GB HDD ?
Are there any other compatible hard drives available in the market apart from buying it from Lenovo or IBM. The HDD of IBM/Lenovo are quite expensive.
What is the risk that I run if I purchase a hard drive from Seagate or any other manufacturer.
Thanks,
Rahul.

Any SATA drive would do. You remove the hard drive cover, pull out the hard drive, then you will see the original drive. Remove the four screws holding the caddy to the drive, put the new drive in the caddy, re-screw, re-cover then reload your Ubuntu OS :smiley: operating system.

Upgrading Hard Disk Drive of Lenovo THINKPAD T500 2055 ?

Hi there,
My personal laptop is Lenovo THINKPAD T500 2055, and its main specifications as follows:
- Intel Core 2 Duo processor T9400 (2.53GHz 1066MHz 6MBL2).
- 8 GB DDR3 SDRAM Memory Module 4 GB (2 x 4 GB) 1066MHz DDR31066/PC38500 DDR3 SDRAM SoDIMM Kingston
- ATI Mobility Radeon 3650 with 256MB.
- 160 GB Hard Disk Drive, 7200rpm.
I really need to upgrade the Hard Disk Drive to a bigger size (500 GB, 7200 rpm). and, my major questions are as follows:
* Could you please advise me on which Hard Disk Drive (500 GB, 7200 rpm) should I buy for my T500 laptop?
For example, I found (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003NSBF32) But I have no idea what T500 supports and what it doesn't... Therefore, I need your help to guide me about this matter. In other words, How do you know if ABC-Hard Disk Drive fits with T500 and XYZ-Hard Disk Drive doesnt fit? What is the clue in knowing what T500 accepts?
My another question is:
* How easy is it to remove/replace Hard Disk Drive in Lenovo ThinkPad T500 ???
I already watched CRU Removals/Replacements on (http://www.lenovoservicetraining.com/ion/R61_T61/index.html), But the clip is for ThinkPad R61 and T61. So, Could you please help me how to handle it with T500 ?
I would greatly appreciate your inputs.
Thanks for your consideration of my request, and I very much look forward to hearing from you soon !
Solved!

Hi and welcome to the forum!
Any SATA drive that is 2.5'' wide and 9.5mm high will work in your T500. The drive you linked to meets the requirement and thus will work.
For removal and installation instructions, have a look here:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/migr-71568.html
Hope this helps.

Lenovo b570 Hard disk

I got this computer about 3 moths ago. It was freedos and I installed windows 7 ultimate. After a month, it went off and then when I turned it back on, there was this message on the screen saying to start windows normally or to repair and reset the system. I chose the last option and couldn't get to turn the computer back on. Then, I could get the computer on, only on safe mode for some time. After that I got the hard disk exchange. Two days ago the problem came back. The computer won't turn back on. It will only work on safe mode.
Do I have to change the hard disk again?
Someone else with this problem
What is wrong with this series?
There is no virus. I got kaspersky .
Sorry about my grammar, I will improve one day

Hi ana92,
Welcome to Lenovo Community! You should repair the Windows and see if it helps. Also, try running hard disk diagnosis to check if the hard disk is the culprit.
Note: Go to Device manager and check for the Hard Disk Brand. After that, download hard disk health checking tool from the respective brand's support site.
