How to get details on SMART warning abt impending hard disk failure

Hi, I am getting the dreaded SMART message:  "Disk0 Your HDD has the SMART Predict Failure function which monitors the HDD operating status. Your HDD is experiencing a problem and SMART monitoring software predicts that the HDD will fail..."
I have done my back up and sit here working away awaiting the dreadful moment it will all come crashing down... 2 days and counting...
My question:  is there any way to find out what exactly is the parameter/threshold that is triggering the SMART function's warning to me?
Satellite M505, Windows 7
Thanks much!
(PS - This is my second laptop component to fail me in the post-warranty year of my laptop.  Food for thought.)

Satellite M505-S4975
There are some utilities that read SMART data from the log.

But, as Peter says, there is no way to tell when such a drive will fail. Best to replace it now.

    I can't believe there's no answer to this. Apple wants to charge customers for support but this has got to be happening thousands of times a day what with Windows OS reinstalls being what they are-numerous! Please let me know if/when you get a reply, thx!

    Anyone know how to get a copy of a IBM 7845I2 Recovery Disk?, My multipoint switch is stuck in read only mode -  Please use Recovery Disk to check the file system using fsck.

    Hello Elizabeth,
    Did you read the title of my post?  I am simply asking if anyone knows how to pull a history of repair records.
    This page https://www22.verizon.com/secure/pages/requestrepair/ clearly states "You can view a history of past repair requests." Unfortunately, I cannot find anywhere on that site where one can do that. So, I am asking for user to user help on finding out how to gain access to that information.

  • How transfer exact arborescence from my music folder on Hard Disk to iTunes ?

    Hello All i'm French
    How transfer exact tree from my music folder on Hard Disk to iTunes ?
    I'm Dj, i use my Mac for that. I'm new on Mac.
    On my Pc, i have create many Folders and sub Folders for my music (sample : House/march2010/House Club)
    This tree is very important for me and i need to conserve this on Hard drive Mac in the same place.
    I Want copy the same tree on Itunes but if i create that myself, it's to long !!
    Help me please !
    (arborescence in french, tree in english)

    iTunes doesn't have any automatic way of re-creating your directory structure in terms of folders and playlists in iTunes.   You will have to drag each music folder to a playlist and then arrange these in folders inside of iTunes (which I warn you can can slow down iTunes a lot).   I guess the once chance of speeding this up will be if somebody has written an Applescript to do it, but I don't remeber seeing any anywhere.

  • A10 Hard disk failure and replacement - How do I use Recovery Disks?

    I have a Satellite Pro A10 which has suffered a hard disk failure. I have replaced the hard disk drive (with a non-toshiba drive) but cannot load the operating sysytem etc from the recovery disks supplied with the computer when new. When starting the computer up with recovery disk No 1 in the CD drive I get the message "Invalid system disk, Replace the disk and then press any key" Any suggestions as to the remedy would be most welcome.

    Hello Tony
    Please check at first if your new HDD is properly recognized by BIOS. It yes you should prepare the HDD for installation. I recommend you to use some tool and make a partition on new HDD. If you want you can format it before you start the installations procedure.
    I am pretty sure that after that the recovery installation can be done successfully.
    Bye

  • How to save iPhoto file in a separate portable hard disk drive?

    How to save iPhoto file in a separate portable hard disk drive?

    You want to move the iPhoto Library?
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • How to recover the recovery partition after delete all hard disk partitions

    I have need of your help.

    Restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. All of the original partitions will be restored, including the recovery partition.
    If no recovery discs were created, you can obtain them from Toshiba.
       Toshiba Europe Backup Media Online Shop
    For instructions, see the section Restoring the pre-installed software from your created Recovery Media on p. 4-18 of the User's Manual (attached).

  • SAP_WAPI_GET_OBJECTS: How to get detailed values

    Hi experts,
    I am using BAPI SAP_WAPI_GET_OBJECTS to get container information within my Java Web Dynpro Application. This RFC (BAPI) contains some information about the used Business Object with the given Import-Parameter and some other general values (in TABLE Output Objects and Objects2) but I also need the dependent values from this Business Object. For example, I use BUS1001with a material number as input in order to get detailed information like material group and other values in that container.
    How can I retrieve that in BAPIs (RFC) in order to use it in Web Dynpro? Are there some other existing BAPIs, I can use to get these information?
    Best regards,
    Frank

    Hi,
    If you need just few attributes from the business object(s), it might be easier to just bind them from the business object to the task container. Then you can read the container with SAP_WAPI_READ_CONTAINER.
    If you want to really instantiate the business objects, you need to develop your own RFC enabled function. And even then it might be finally easier (inside your custom function) to get your needed business data by using some other BAPIs or even direct SELECTs from database with your key fields.
    REgards,

  • How to get detailed specifications by machine type model ?

    Hi,
    I am looking for a refurbished Thinkpad Lenovo (model X220/X230, T420(s)/T430(s)).
    I would like to know where I can find the detailed specifications by using the machine type model ?
    For the moment, I was using the PSREF, but I discovered that not all machine type were detailed.
    For example, the machine 2324-C44.
    I found this : http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-x-series-laptops/thinkpad-x23... but the specifications seems to be incomplete : baclit keyboard ? IPS premium screen ? finger print reader ? webcam ? WWAN ?
    Thanks,
    Moderator note: fixed broken link.
    Lenovo X220 4287-CTO / Intel Core i7 2640M @ 2.8 / Corsair Vengeance 16 Go@1866 MHz CL10 / Samsung SSD 840 PRO 512 Go / Bios 1.38 / Linux Xubuntu 14.04LTS / eGPU ATI Radeon 5870 Eyefinity 6 / 2x DELL U2142M / 2x DELL U2212HM

    Update stauts, I found some solution to get ActiveXData and analytic parameters.result.
    PropertyObject ProObj = MyContext.AsPropertyObject();
    PropertyObject ProObjResult = ProObj.GetPropertyObject("Parameters.Result",0);
    The next question is how to get result by engine OnUIMessageEvent? Current is use timer loop.
    Any ideas?

  • How to get rid of volume warning?

    Hi!
    I've got a Curve 9320 instead of 8900 recently. And I cannot find how to get rid of that annoying warning about exceeding the recommended volume.
    Every time I tick the checkbox "I understand this warning" and then click on Continue button. And it's OK until the next turn off of the 9320 (I turn it off every night). The next morning it will give that warning again if I will try to increase the volume of music.
    Where I can find an option to switch that warning message off?

    Hey f13bis,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    Open Media on the BlackBerry Curve 9320 smartphone and press menu>Options.  Put a checkmark for Audio Boost and accept the terms and press Menu>Save.  Then try to increase the volume.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Cheers.

  • How to get rid of the Warning Message L3 010 in LT01?

    Hi, guys,
    Is there any approach to get rid of the Warning Message L3 010(Check your entries) in LT01? I'm running a BDC program, but it's always interrupted by this message both in online and background mode...
    Thanks a lot
    Michael

    Maybe you can try FMs instead of BDC to achieve your goal:
    Creating/confirming transfer order (WM) using bapi/function modules
    E.g. L_TO_CREATE_SINGLE, L_TO_CREATE_MULTIPLE,L_TO_CONFIRM (which are mentioned in the thread linked above)

  • How to get details about Exception catched in Exception branch of the Block

    Hello Experts,
    Is it possible to get details about Exception catched in Exception branch of the Block in Integration Process (BPM)?
    In the Exception branch System Error is catched, but from time to time different type of System Errors are happening during sync call to WebService - Connection Timeout, Connection Refused, UnknownHost, etc.
    So the task is somehow to map the type of System Error to the response. I was trying to create a mapping using as source the message which is coming from the Adapter after the sync call, but the mapping is failing with "No Source Payload" error.
    Maybe the description is somewhere in Header or Dynamic configuration?
    Or it is possible to access it somehow with JAVA-maping?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hey,
          the message from the exception can be utilized by using alerts(in order to mail,sms r fax). but otherwise its not possible using mappings or container.
    check this link for alert configuration.
