Hard drive bad?

One day my computer froze while transferring a file from one partition to another. When I rebooted I got a generic filesystem error, but I could still log in. When I tried to back up my latest changes, my computer froze again. This time it displayed the error in the link below. I put FreeBSD on it for awhile and it worked well, but I decided to come back to Arch. I reinstalled everything but the same thing happened a second time.
I tested the hdd with SMART a few times and it always said it was fine. fsck also stated that everything was clean. My question is this: Based on the image, is the hard drive itself bad or something else?

I'd say that it might be a loose/bad cable or a power supply going bad. But just in case backup all you can using any OS that will still work and then test the disk with the smart self test and badblocks.

Brand New Hard Drive-Bad Already?

I had my hard drive replaced about 3 or 4 weeks ago, and if I move the computer AT ALL while I'm using it, it makes the ominous clicking sound. I have been extremely careful not to tip the computer before it is all the way off, especially since the first hard drive crashed only 6 months after I bought the computer. Is this new hard drive bad already? And if it is, will Apple replace a second one for free?

If it is making the noise only when you move it, I would say it is the Sudden Motion Sensor. This is a sensor designed specifically to lock the hard drive head when your computer is moved to prevent damaging the drive. Some drives are louder than others when parking the drive head. You can confirm this by disabling the sudden motion sensor per Apple's instructions here (be sure to follow the right set of instructions):
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1934
Just be sure to re-enable it after you confirm that is what is causing the noise.

A135-S2326 replacing hard drive (bad sectors) Need advice and opinions Please

Hi, (note pic below of my computers actual specs from this morning)
I have a Satellite A135-S2326. It has the max memory at 2GB, it came with 512 and I upgraded to 2GB. It runs Windows Vista Home Edition...
Anyhow, it accidentally fell off my bed a few days ago (darn dogs) and damaged my hard drive. Boot problems, errors, bad sectors, etc. I have tried everything to fix and to no avail. While I am currently using it I know I need to replace the hard drive ASAP before I can't turn it on at all one day... I am now saving all my files and stuff I need off of it to an external drive. The laptop did not come with a windows Vista restore CD so I am using Acronis software to make an image of the hard disc, hopefully it will work and I won't have to purchase my own copy of windows Vista.
Some questions I have are:
1.) Is it possible to upgrade the hard drive to a faster one / better one when I replace?
     The hard drive that came preinstalled is a Hitachi HTS541680J9SA00 80GB, which I believe from spec's documentation is a 5400RPM Serial- ATA ???
     What is the max size I can get for replacement and what is the max RPM, or do I HAVE to use a 5400RPM???
     What do you suggest?
2.) I have a copy of windows XP Professional w/SP2. Is it possible to put this windows XP Pro.w/SP2 on a fresh hard drive in the Satellite A135-S2326? If so, is there a different hard drive that I must have to do that? Also if an XP install is possible on a new hard drive, which drivers must I have for this laptop when I do it??
3.) And finally, could this laptop handle windows 7 business? Only asking because I can get a VERY cheap copy of windows 7 business from my school...I'm in college at DeVry and can get a copy of Windows 7 delivered to my door in 2 weeks for less then $30.00. So thought that MAY be an option....??? Not sure if my other spec's can handle it though???
4.) What would you suggest I do with the options I have, what is best thing to do in your opinion??
      Please see pic below of my actual computers specs from this morning, using Belarc Advisor...
Thank you in advance
Any help is GREATLY appreciated
Urgently waiting replies,

You can use ANY 2.5" SATA hard drive of any size in that system. I would recommend one of the Western Digital Scorpio BLue's as they are reliable and offer good performance.
If it runs Vista it will run Windows 7. I would wait a bit before trying Win7 though as Toshiba hasn't released all of the Windows 7 drivers yet.
As for Windows XP, while it is possible to install XP on that system (and quite easily for that matter) Toshiba doesn't provide any of the XP drivers needed to get it to run properly. You could determine all of the various chipsets the system uses and go to each chipsat manufacturer's support site to see if they provide an XP driver to get it working, but I don't guarantee that they have all of the needed drivers. If you do decide to go ahead with this let me know and I'll post the directions for installing XP onto a SATA hard drive that doesn't ahve a floppy drive.
Right now your best choice is to replace the old hard drive and restore the system from your Acronis image. When ALL of the Windows 7 drivers become available you could install it in a dual boot configuration to determine if you prefer it or not. It is both a step up and a step back from Windows Vista. Some people will like it while others won't. Only you will be able to determine which you prefer.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Hard drive bad sectors?

Hello All,
I have a 15 inch MacBook pro, early 2011 model, with the Fujitsu 7200 rpm hard drive. I'm using the latest version of Yosemite. ( 10.10.2) My computer is loaded with maximum memory, the optional video card. I recently bought a program called Drive Genius 4 because my computer seemed slow and Safari was locking up. I then started getting frequent bad sector error messages from the programs resident hard drive module. It advised me to immediately reformat the hard drive with one pass of zeros, to mark off the bad sectors.
Testing with Mac's hard drive utility, with one of Apple's technician's on the phone, indicated that everything was alright. I decided to re-formated the hard drive using one pass of zeros to mark off the bad sectors. I used Mac's hard drive utility for this. I left one small partition intact because I thought it might have important information that identifies my computer as a real Macintosh product. I then did a clean re-instalation of Yosemite from a download I stored on a backup drive. I then restored my programs from a recent backup. However, I was using a third party backup program called "SuperDuper!" for Mac from Softonic. I used it because it is much faster than Mac's backup. Now, my computer is running much faster. I'm also having no trouble with Safari, except for last night. I got stuck into some internet code that looked like it was trying to get me to install malware by clicking "OK" in a box. I couldn't get out of the tab, even by trying to force quit Safari. So I closed down by using the shut down button. Strangely enough, the site reappeared after I rebooted my computer, even though I have "Safari opens with a new window" in the general Safari preferences. But this time I was able to close the bad window.
I can't get any information about the effectiveness of Drive Genius 4 from Mac tech support because they're not allowed to comment about third party software. But it has excellent reviews from users and Mac publications.
Question 1: Should I take Drive Genius 4s bad sector warnings seriously and replace the hard drive? I did a thorough physical drive test with "Drive Genius 4" immediately after my re-format and it tested alright. I just received a bad sector warning this morning from a module in Drive Genius 4 called "Drive Pulse." It's supposed to constantly monitor ones hard drive for failure. I have read many complaints about my Fujitsu hard drive failing. I've been using computers since the early DOS days and I never had a hard drive fail. I occasionally would develop bad sectors but I used a utily like "Norton" to mark off the bad sectors and move the data. Even though this would occasionally happen, I never had a catastrophic hard drive failure. But now, I'm reading recommendations all over the web to replace any hard drive with the first bad sector warning.
Question 2:, Should I try to reformat the drive again and include the small sector I left intact the last time? This time, I would use Mac's built in backup program, simply out of superstition. I have no knowledge whether any particular backup program is better than another. I don't completely trust Mac tech support because they are restricted by their company's proprietary regulations. (Sorry Mac, I was once a big fan, but your new note books, with their soldered in components, is a low blow. It's obviously made, IMHO, as a form of planned obsolescence.)
Question 3: I read several complaints from self installers who stripped screws to gain access to the had drive. Some people claimed that the screws are made from very soft metal. This actually happened to me with an older 13 inch Mac Notebook, when I added more memory. Luckily, the compartment stays closed with one bad screw.
I don't trust the local Apple's genius crew to do the installation. Why? After numerous visits, they couldn't even diagnose a simple iPhone problem. They were very unpleasant and arrogant, suggesting that my phone's problem didn't exist. I became so exasperated that I threatened to pay off my AT&T phone contract early if they didn't help me. They sent me a new phone if I would agree to leave a deposit until they received my old one. Now that's service!
Thanks in advance for any advise. I apologize for my lengthy letter.

I can't get any information about the effectiveness of Drive Genius 4 from Mac tech support because they're not allowed to comment about third party software. But it has excellent reviews from users and Mac publications.
I can comment about it. Drive Genius will report false positives and may be responsible for causing disk corruption. Get rid of it. It's junk your Mac does not need.
"Mac publications" that accept advertising are necessarily biased, and cannot be relied upon for accurate information. Do you really think they'll publish a negative review about a product from a company supplying the revenue they need to survive?
But now, I'm reading recommendations all over the web to replace any hard drive with the first bad sector warning.
You should. Hard disk drives are wear items. Fortunately, they are also inexpensive enough to have several backups. At the first sign of failure, plan to replace it ASAP. Having a backup plan such as Time Machine makes that a non-event.

IMac 27" late 2012 3TB hard drive bad blocks

Hi Guys,
I just received the new iMac 27" late 2012 with 3TB hard drive and as soon as I run Drive Genius version 3.2.2 I saw that the drive has 8 bad blocks.
I tried to deleted the logical volume and reinstall the OS X 10.8.2 and after a scan I got the same 8 bad blocks. I give it another try and erase the entire 3 TB volu except the recovery partition and installed Mountain Lion and after running another Drive Genius SCAN for almost 12 hours I got 8 bad blocks again.
Called Apple Support and they are clueless about what is going on as they are not even aware that the late 2012 iMac 27" is not even in stores yet.
I was told that as long as I do not have errors within the OS X I should not worry about as he HDD is fine. I do not believe it since from my experience when you have a bad block you also have a physical damage on you disk surface.
I called Apple Support again and I was told to go to Genius Bar and have them to replace the HDD to a unit not even a week old. I think that I am going to return the unit, maybe I got a lemon and the unit got dropped during the shipping process or who knows.
I hope that this thread will help other owners to have them to run a check disk or scan disk just to make sure that they do not have a bad hard drive on their new iMac late 2012.
Again I have nothing against to anyone as I just hope that someone from Apple will find this thread and try to prevent this from happening to a large scale.
Thank you.

Drive Genius will report bad blocks when none are present. It may even be responsible for disk corruption.
See: DriveGenius = Problem
Get rid of Drive Genius. Do not install such junk on a Mac.

Lightroom .lrcat file on external hard drive = bad?

True or False: Adobe engineers recommend against running one's LR catalog off an external hard drive (the .lrcat file, not the pictures), with the preferred method being to use a catalog (.lrcat file) that exists on the computer on which the application software is installed; the reason being that one is more likely to experience database corruption and diminishing performance if running it off a hard drive.
as background to this simple True/False: I teach in a lab setting and in past when I had students create the LR catalogs on their external hard drives I always had several corrupted catalogs and crashed drives during the semester; since implementing a workflow of students creating catalogs on the lab's computers (and copying the folder w/ the .lrcat file to their external hard drives at the end of the class for backup/home use) I've had no such incidences.
I thought I had read a post regarding this on John Nack's blog but cannot locate any reference to it. if someone can point me to some documentation in a white paper or on the web about this recommendation from Adobe's engineers it would help me convince my academic colleagues!
thank you very much in advance for any response.

Back a quite while ago there was an issue with OSX (I'm sorry but can't remember if it was specific to Tiger or Leopard) and external USB drives causing catalog corruption. If I remember correctly it had something to do with a timing problem between the OS and hardware. By chance is your lab running an older version of the OS and are the problems mostly on USB?
If not, I would agree with the other poster that improperly dismounting drives is a likely culprit. I'm in an academic environment where we're running LR on hundreds of OSX machines with very few problems (with LRCAT on the externals). Almost always it can be traced back to either bad cables, improper dismount (LR is still running), or drives that are in marginal condition. But having said that, the catalog can be fragile and students have a way of bringing that out...

Reformat external hard drive - "bad superblock", "magic number wrong" error

i was just given a brand new 300GB USB hard drive, however, as it came NTFS-formatted, immediately after plugging it in for the first time, i fired up Disk Utility, and attempted to format it with UFS.
The problem arose when the progress bar just sat there for an hour at a constant 5%. Assuming the program had stalled (it hadn't...though it would have sat there indefinitely), i quit Disk Utility, opened it back up, and again attempted to format the drive--only this time, almost immediately the program output:
BAD SUPER BLOCK: MAGIC NUMBER WRONG
LOOK FOR ALTERNATE SUPERBLOCKS? yes
SEARCH FOR ALTERNATE SUPER-BLOCK FAILED. YOU MUST USE THE
-b OPTION TO FSCK TO SPECIFY THE LOCATION OF AN ALTERNATE
SUPER-BLOCK TO SUPPLY NEEDED INFORMATION; SEE fsck(8).
i opened up Terminal and tried manually to find an alternate superblock, to no avail.
fsck -b32 /dev/disk2s3
i've been unable to find any solutions to this issue online, but i'd really like to use my drive i've heard that this problem has to do with hardware that's about to fail, however, this is a brand new drive, and i'm quite certain the error is as a result of the aborted reformat operation.
Does anyone know how to remedy this? Thanks in advance.

Hello TheRedWino, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Hmmm, what kind of Case/Chipset does it have?
Have you tried erasing it with Zeros one Pass?
"Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the Erase tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume, then choose MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Partition tab.
6. Click Erase & look for Security Options. choose Zero 1 pass."

Hard drive bad, cannot redo lion

My hard drive went bad, lost lion operating system, completely. Using outside firewire 800 LaCie 1 TB for now. How can I get Lion without paying again at App Store? -Steve.

I'm using same iMac, but using device, outside La Cie hard drive with firewire 800 connection. Best thing is to replace hard drive inside, & ask repairer about getting back Lion. Thanks!

Is the hard drive bad on my (mid) 2009 macbook pro?

First, the problem started when my macbook was stuck on the spinning wheel. I restarted the computer, but the grey apple logo page would appear with a loading bar at the bottom. Once the loading bar got to a certain point, the macbook would automatically turn off. I did some reading on here and tried some things that I thought would help. I erased and partitioned the hard drive, reset PRAM, and then tried to reinstall mountain lion. It successfully downloaded mountain lion, but it wouldn't begin to install it. Then, I tried to install snow leopard from the disc. It seemed to be working until about halfway through when I received an error message that read something about the disk being damaged and not repairable. I then verified the disk and it said HD appeared to be ok. Now, when I restart my computer without the snow leopard disc all that shows up is a grey screen with a folder and question mark. I can't bring up the disk utility page because the command+r isn't working nor holding down the option key. Also, safe mode would never come up before and after I did the erasing and partitioning. Any ideas on what's wrong?

Your HDD or the internal connection cable may have failed. If you have a HDD enclosure, take the internal HHD out and install it into the enclosure. Use the original install disk and see if you can install the OS. If not, the HDD is probably dead and will have to be replaced. If it will accept the OS, then the internal cable is faulty and will have to be replaced.
Ciao.

IMac DV SE 400 chimes, gives flashing question mark. Hard drive bad?

My G3 iMac DV SE 400 will not start up. This is what happens:
1. Startup chime
2. Hard drive starts to spin
3. Hard drive "clicks" once
4. Flashing question mark on screen
I tried resetting the PRAM and disconnecting everything like it says in the manual. I have booted up from CD and used Disk Utility (OS X) and Disk First Aid (OS 9) to find out if the computer "sees" the hard drive. No luck with either one - the drive does not mount. I have also tried System Profiler and the computer does not recognize the presence of any hard drive there either.
Is the hard drive really "dead?" Can it be resurrected - at least to the point where I can retrieve my files, pictures, etc.? I'm confident that the drive is receiving power because it actually starts to spin up (see #2 above). Am I overlooking something easy here? Could it be as simple as replacing the battery? I haven't tried that because the hard drive does "attempt" to start up.
Failing all else, is it possible to retrieve the data using my other Mac even though the hard drive will not boot?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Well if it spins up you might be able to salvage your data with Data Rescue II (free demo) or Disk Warrior. You could also try Target mode but if disk utility didn't see it then that's probably not going to be any better.
If those two don't see it then your only option is data retrieval via a pro company but that will be very expensive.

Hard Drive has Broke on my 30g Video - Can I ugrade to 6og / 8og?

After taking my iPod G5 Video to the Genius Bar in Shefffield, they told me that I would need to replace my hard drive, bad news, but it wont be that bad if I can buy a bigger hard drive to put in it.
Is the physical size too big?
Can I even fit a Classic iPod hard drive, meaning that I can have cover flow??
Or do I have to settle for replacing it like for like with another 30gb iPod Video hard drive?
I believe I can buy these from ebay?
Has any one else had this problem?
(This all spanned from my disk being in recovery mode and asking me to restore it, rig it up to iTunes to restore it and iPod is busy - endless circle. Bought it into the Apple store and they confirmed that the Hard Drive had broke. All happenned over night)

You'll need to find a drive that will fit your 5th gen and mate with the connector in your iPod. Go to http://www.ifixit.com to see a video/photos that will show you what is involved in putting in a new disk drive.
To get cover flow you will have to replace the screen, logic board with all firmware, and the hard drive. Not hardly worth it.
You can send it to http://www.iresq.com to be diagnosed and get an estimate of what it would cost to fix it.

M115 hard drive problems?

Recently have had problems with a M115-S3094 laptop at work, very slow to boot up, then it just freezes up and/or is EXTREMELY slow to respond to inputs...I mean like 10-15 minutes from key press to results on screen.
Booting into safe mode, seems to run ok. Going into the administrative tools, event viewer I see lots and lots of "hard drive bad block" error messages, like every 30 sec to 1 minute. The information with the message says that if the message shows up often, to replace the hard drive.
Does this seem to be the solution? The replacement hdd's here on toshiba.com are well under $100....My plan would be to back up whatever is possible from the existing hdd, then put the new one in and run the recovery disc, then wait forever while xp updates....

Weird Slicing Hard Drive sounds. Freezes up! I need help!

I have a G4 AGP Graphics Power Mac, and there is a 30 GB Maxtor Hard Drive in it right now. I was having problems when my computer would sit and be doing nothing then suddenly the hard drive would make these weird slicing like sounds in 30sec-1min intervals, very sharp and high pitch, then would freeze with the waiting cursor just spiraling. So I figured out that if you turned off the "Put Hard Drives to Sleep" feature off it stopped doing it. Then now all of a sudden it's doing it again with the feature still turned off. Also, I think this may be related; Whenever I manually put it to sleep it gets to the point where the monitor turns off but the computer just sits there and doesn't got to sleep. It will automatically go to sleep just fine. What's wrong with my computer? Please help! Thanks!

Hello Again! High pitched sounds are most often either the hard drive (bad) or a fan making the noise. You can usually open it up and figure out which is causing the noise. If it's the hard drive you'll have to replace it and the sooner the better. Tom

HP Notebook G72-B27CL hard drive

I have the Laptop above (HP G72-B27CL) that will no longer boot up. I get error message Boot Device not found(03F0). I have run the diagnostic tests and it says my hard drive doesn't exist. I've also tried to to run the recovery and it failed as well. Is my hard drive bad? If so where do I get a new one. And if I get a new hard drive do I have to go out and buy windows and have to reload it. Or is it just easier and cheaper to buy a new one.

Your Service Manual is> Here if you need it for removing the hdd. You might also try removing and reseating first before replacing it to see if that helps.

Hard Drive Issues - Please Help

I have an early 2011 15 inch MBP i7 8gb ram. I was running really sluggishly so I did a complete reformat of the hard drive. That did not work, and even after reinstalling everything manually (not from a time machine backup) it is still really slow. When viewing the finder, it get very different numbers on how much free space is left. Once it said I had 1.2 TB free even thought it is only a 1 TB drive.

Thanks for any help.

The hard drive is dead. Take it in to the store for repair.
