Is my hard disk fried?!?

I have a 2009 imac running Snow leopard. It was running ridiculously slow and stalling out on programs like crazy this morning, I had to force shut down several programs several times (usually Firefox or Photoshop - though I did relaunch Finder once as well). Moving files even from folder to folder was painful, as was opening folders. Things had been running slowly on and off yesterday but not enough for me to have any concerns over it but when I tried to work this morning it was next to impossible as I could barely launch files or had to wait up to 10 minutes for a page to load.
I restarted several times throughout the day, still not working well. I checked for software updates on all the affected programs, all were up to date. I rebooted from CD, ran disk utility on it, it said everything was fine. I knew it wasn't fine so I started to back up my files just in case - I had two firewire backup drives daisy chained to the computer. It was having great difficulty backing up to the master backup drive, all files would copy painfully slowly. What was usually a 30 second back up took up to 2 hours if it worked at all without stalling. I have no idea what, if anything, actually got backed up. Again I started from CD and ran disk utility to fix the drive and again it said nothing was wrong.
I quit off disk utility which prompted a restart and ejected the disk. It restarted slowly but allowed me to log in my user and loaded my desktop. While launching the start up programs I have (Mail and Firefox auto start) it stalled. I could move my mouse, view the desktop but nothing else. I waited about 10 minutes to see if it would recover and when it didn't resolve and wouldn't allow me to force quit the programs it was hung up on, I hard restarted using the power button. Upon launch, I got the white screen with the question mark in the file.
I've followed every direction on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570. I can still successfully start from CD but I can't run disk utility as it isn't even recognizing that I have a hard drive. Where my hard disk is supposed to be, it has the icon and says media. It shows the total capacity as 0 bytes and that it's an unformatted drive.
I don't know what to do from here - I really need the information that is on this drive if possible as I have a work deadline looming and I have no idea if it backed up or not. I'm going to drag the back up drives to the inlaws as they have a mac and see what I do have copies of. I was also considering trying to access it in target disk mode off of her computer. Is this a bad idea?
We live in a small town and there is no local mac support. Any information as to what I can do to fix my computer and get the info off of it is greatly appreciated!!

Greetings,
but I can't run disk utility as it isn't even recognizing that I have a hard drive. Where my hard disk is supposed to be, it has the icon and says media. It shows the total capacity as 0 bytes and that it's an unformatted drive.
If disk utility isn't showing a mounted volume like "Macintosh HD" that does suggest an issue with the drive. This could be physical, or something wrong with the format / partition table.
If you weren't maintaining regular backups like with Time Machine then your priority #1 should be to try to get the data off the drive if it is extremely important data. Any repairs you might do be it with Disk Utility or other repair software (Disk Warrior, Drive Genius, Tech Tool Pro, etc.) run the risk of making whatever data is on the drive harder to recover. Repair programs by their nature move data on the drive. If this drive is truly failed, you want to avoid making changes as much as possible so data recovery software / companies have the best chance to get the data off.
Target disk mode would certainly be my next step.
It might also be worthwhile to reset the SMC which will also reset the drive controller, just in case it is not mounting for other reasons: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
If you cannot access the drive in Target disk mode then you have 3 choices:
A. Try repairing using Disk Utility or other program and hope that the repairs are sufficient to get the drive up and running and risk moving some data in the process (which as mentioned above makes data recovery more difficult).
B. Contact a data recovery professional.
_There are many nationwide / worldwide data recovery companies out there. Here are a few examples:
http://www.ontrackdatarecovery.com
http://www.drivesaversdatarecovery.com/
http://www.totalrecall.com/
C. Use data recovery software to attempt to extract data off the drive.
_Here are a few examples:
http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
http://www.macintosh-data-recovery.com/
http://www.subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?mainpage=product_info&productsid=1
Long term the question is, is this a physical issue with the computer/drive or a software issue (formatting)?
Completely erasing the drive would be the way to tell. If you attempt to erase the drive and are unable to, this would suggest a physical issue with the drive, its connection to the logic board, or the logic board itself.
If you can erase the drive then this is probably just a software issue. Formatting of the drive broke down for "X" reason. There are many, hard shut downs, power outages, micro power surges, force quitting applications 100 times a day, etc.
Either way, maintaing regular automated backups is our safety net: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
I hope that helps and best of luck to you.

  • The new LaCie Hard Disk,by Neil Poulton Fried my firewire on macbook

    Does anyone has any suggestion for more reputable brand name fire wire external drives?
    The new LaCie Hard Disk,by Neil Poulton Fried the fire wire port on the Logic Board on My Macbook the other day.
    Just so you know I received the drive brand new. I already had an older Lacie external hard drive mounted on the Macbook, when I attached the ne *Lacie Hard Disk,by Neil Poulton*; It mounted for a brief second and caused the old Lacie external hard drive to unmount from the system.The *Lacie Hard Disk,by Neil Poulton* damaged my old Lacie drive too In the process.
    It did not take long before the new drive got unmounted too. No matter what I do I could not get any of the external drive to work on the Macbook.
    I called Lacie support. They claimed It was not anything major just zapp the ram, repair permission, and turn off computer unplug the power take out the battery start the computer over.
    I had already done of that with no success. Lacies support still insist It was not their drive rather than the system.
    My mac Is 1 1/2 year old. I don' t have the Applecare coverage. I took the Macbook to the store. They tested and they decided that the firewire was fried on the Logic Board and had to be replaced for $350 and normally should have charged me $800 for a Logic Board replacement.
    Now I have to spend $350 extra for repair after buying a $150 dollar *Hard Disk,by Neil Poulton*.
    Lacie told me that even after my ordeal they were not liable for any damages.
    My loyalty to Lacie Is shattered. I lost confidence In Lacie and would never buy another Lacie external drive again.
    From now on I will only buy from Western Digital, Seagate, and G-tecnology, Inc.
    By being prudent It caused me more damage by buying another backup drive.
    I believe that Lacie released this try without enough testing In the lab and used me as their guinea pig to test their product. As a paying customer It Is unfair for Lacie to use such practice.

    This thread is not being very fair.
    I just bought a 1TB LaCie drive for my MacBook, and it works great. They are a reputable and experienced vendor overall. I am sorry if your Mac got damaged, but posting such major allegations against LaCie when you don't really have any proof it is their fault could potentially have some consequences for you. Frying a Firewire port just by plugging in a compatible peripheral is almost unheard of.

  • Hard Disk Not Exist help please

    Hi, not sure if this should be in Recovery or Hardware or Operating Systems as it involves all three!
    I have an HP G61-110SA running Win 7 64 bit; product no. VR523EA.  Also have serial no if needed.  One problem is, as the laptop is 6 years old, it's hard to remember what came with it.
    Whilst using on Thursday it suddenly froze and ctrl/alt/del didn't respond so i held down the power key to turn off.  When I rebooted, I got "PXE-E61 Media Test failure; check cable.  PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM.  No bootable device -- insert boot disc and press any key".
    I don't have a boot disc as the OS came preinstalled.  So here's what I've tried so far by reading other similar problems in here.
    - Ive taken out the HDD and reseated it.  Reboot then said Hard Disk Not Exist.  Tried reseating again.  Same message.
    - Created a bootable Ubuntu CD and ran that - no response.
    - Created a Ubuntu bootable USB and that has worked except Ubuntu isn't showing the HDD so I can't retrieve anything.
       I can however connect my wireless network and at least use Ubuntu in the meantime.
    I've ordered a new (same) replacement HDD (a Hitachi 320GB 2.5").  So next problem is how to reinstall Windows 7 without a recovery CD?  Did the old HDD contain the recovery partition drive or would that be located elsewhere thefore still be accessible when the new HDD is installed?
    If not, I'm assuming I can still purchase recovery discs from HP?  I know I should be able to create my own recovery discs however, the MS sticker on the bottom of my laptop beside the laptop details, has become too faded to read the important bits!  All I can see is "Proof of License, Certificate of Authenticity, Microsoft Corporation 2005" and "Label not to be sold seperately".  Any letters/numbers are long gone.  So would I be able to find these any other way?  My friend (an IT Manager) said something about DBAN being able to read all that from the HDD but not if it's fried?!
    Next problem - I was also using Office 2007 (think it was Home Premium).  Either this came preinstalled (unlikely?) OR it came with a 30 day trial which I could purchase the full version & download the full version from online using a link within the trial?  I think this is what I did because I have no other way of obtaining Office for Windows 7 and yet whatever version I had, had about 3 user licenses because I also installed it on my son's netbook.  I do have Office XP discs for my previous desktop PC (but couldn't have used those surely on Win7)?
    And just to add a gripe .... although I certainly got my money's worth out of my old laptop, I'll now have to buy a new one - which I consider a treat - BUT I'm choking at the expense of replacing all the software I need!  Anything I buy new will be Windows 8 which none of my old software was compatable with - same as when I have to previously rebuy it because none of my XP software was compatable with Win7!  But on the plus side, I'm assuming if I install my new HDD on my old lappy, I can also install Ubuntu to the new HDD so at least my 11yr old son can browse and surf on it via Ubuntu.
    Can anyone answer/help with any of the above problems?  Many thanks in advance.
    This question was solved.

    You do not need the license key when using HP Recovery Discs.If you didn't create a Recovery Disk set using the software installed on the laptop refer to the article here>> Looking for Recovery Discs?
    If you have difficulty,  contact HP in your country / region through the HP Worldwide Support Portal to check on the availability of Recovery Discs for your computer.> Worldwide Support Portal

  • Hard Disk Not Exist! help pls!

    Hi techies,
    I was using my hp compaq when I froze. I did powered it off and restarted only to be confronted with "hard disk not exist". I tried to run diagnostics on the hard disk as directed by the functions buttons and it kept say stuff, "install operating system for hard disk". I've met a guy who knows stuff about such n he says my hd is fried and I'll have to get a new one. I'm kind of surprised as the laptop is barely a year old. He took out the hard drive and put in an external drive enclosure and on connecting to another computer, he couldn't get a read on the hard drive.
    My questions are;
    - is it possible for me to retrieve all my files from my hard disk? It'll be like going back to the stone age to try to start afresh. If it is, how? If not all, what kind of files can I retrieve and how?
    - what is the cause of this damage to my hard drive because my system gave me no warning.
    Pls, reply asap.
    Thanks guys.

    Your friend did the pretty much standard procedure to see if any files can be read and retrieved from the failed hdd. There are data recovery companies out there but they aren't cheap. It is always advisable to have an external usb hdd for backup.
    All hdds fail after time ,though laptop hdds seem to have a higher/faster failure rate due to the confined case and extra heat. SATA hdds seem to die much faster than the older Ide type drives in laptops and desktops from what I have seen.
    Not uncommon to see posts about a laptop hdd dying after 1-1 1/2 years,though I have been fortunate with mine which is 3 yrs old. I do use a laptop cooling pad under mine which may contribute to it's longer life.

  • Macbook Pro is extremely slow, hard disk in low-power mode and wont accelerate even while attempting to play a game

    Very recently my Macbook has been acting really slow. Normally whenever i play a game, it starts off slow then after i hear the fan spinning it begins to speed up. Its like a high-performance mode when the hard disk start running faster. However, my Mac's hard disks seem to be stuck in sleep because whenever i start a game, the fan doesn't spin fast and it acts like when i start my Mac or when i'm at critical battery and it shuts the hard disks off. I've never had this happen to me before and i can't play any games because its so slow. I have tried reseting the SMC and nothing happened. I unchecked "put hard disks to sleep when possible" in power saver options but it's still stuck in a power-saver mode. I really don't know what to do and i would appreciate some help as quickly as possible. Here are my specs:
    OS X Yosemite
    Version 10.10
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011)
    Processor     2.4 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory     4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics     Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
    Serial Number     C1*******V13
    <Edited By Host>

    Ok, sorry about taking so long to respond, i was out doing some errands. So i started up my computer and ran League of Legends since it is a game i often play a lot. After starting it and loading into a game i still had the same problem. Processor seems to be napping practically since i couldn't hear the fan spinning faster like it normally does and i was averaging about 15 fps to my normal 60 to 70-ish. I had the Console opened and here is what i have:

    12/14/14 3:51:29.965 PM NotificationCenter[260]: Layout still needs update after calling -[NSView layout].  NSView or one of its superclasses may have overridden -layout without calling super. Or, something may have dirtied layout in the middle of updating it.  Both are programming errors in Cocoa Autolayout.  The former is pretty likely to arise if some pre-Cocoa Autolayout class had a method called layout, but it should be fixed.

  • Startup problems -- not finding hard disk

    I have a g5 iMac that is several years old (pre-Intel). This morning, my husband went to use it. He said there was some iDisk synching error (I've been getting those on my MacBook Pro, too) and then the cursor turned into the rainbow and he rebooted. Upon rebooting, the question mark folder started flashing and the computer wouldn't boot up. It's definitely having a problem finding the hard disk. I've started it up with the Tiger Install DVD but when I get to Disk Utility, the only thing that shows up in the lefthand column is the DVD drive with the Install DVD Is my hard drive fried? Of course it's never been backed up. Is there anything I can do from home or do I need to lug it into the Apple Store? Please help!!!
    TIA,

  • Windows 10 Hard Disk Pausing on Startup

    Hi  I upgraded from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 10 Home yesterday using Windows Update. Now I notice that whenever I start up the computer, the hard disk pauses for 10 seconds during startup. I have deleted the old Windows 7 installation using Disk Cleanup. I have also unchecked "Time to display list of operating systems" and "Time to display list of recovery options". These settings can be found in "This PC" (right click)->Properties->Advanced System Settings->Advanced->Startup and Recovery. I also want to know whether it is safe to delete the recovery and hp_tools partitions and extend c: as I suspect that the pause is due to its presence. Thanks in advance for your reply. VS

    I never found a solution. I think the motherboard was fried. It wouldn't recognize any hard drive, or even the os I had installed on a flash drive, all of which worked in other places. Good luck.

  • My MBP won't recognize my hard disk

    Hi guys
    Two weeks ago my Macbook Pro (Mid-2010 model) started getting very slow. I suspected it was getting too warm, so I put a fan under my computer to cool it down. It helped a while, but then it crashed completely. If I try to turn on my MBP, it will only show the dreaded "white screen of death". So it is likely that there is something wrong with my hard disk . However, it can't find my hard disk even when I'm using disk utilities, not even my new hard disk. I tried to plug the hard disks externally through one of the USB ports, and then it suddently shows that BOTH harddisks are working! I really hope that my motherboard isn't fried, so is there any other explanation to this?

    It may be that the SATA connection cable has failed.  If you can see the HDD externally but not when it is internal in the MBP, that is usually the symptom.  Have it checked out and it that is the problem, it is an inexpensive repair.
    Ciao.

    but no result :( (i mean all processes failed. They could not detect the drive).
    Please help me to get those data, pictures and project files.

  • Delete file from hard disk etc.?

    Can iTunes do the following, and how?
    1. When I ask a file to be deleted from the Library, is there some way of asking for the file to be deleted from the hard disk itself?
    2. If the location of the file has changed, can iTunes update its library and delete the unfound files from its list?

    Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

  • RE: Apple iMac 27 Hard Disk Replacement Complaint

    Dear Customer ServiceManager,
    RE: Apple iMac 27” Hard Disk Replacement Complaint
    On May 12, 2011, Ibought an iMac 27”  for my daughter from your official Hong Kong website (www.apple.com/hk).
    I am writing tocomplain about my dissatisfaction of your poorproduct quality, irresponsibleattitude of your customer service, and most importantly my painful experience with your Apple Careservice.  I am also very disappointed with how your Apple Care staff made a discriminating comment about your low income Hong Kong customers.
    On July 28, 2011, mydaughter received an email from your company ([email protected]) informing her that the hard disk of her newly purchased iMac wasdefective due to factory error. You promised to replace the defective hard disk with a brand new onefree of charge, but when she asked your HK Apple technical support if therewould be on-site replacement service, your staff told her that she can onlyeither carry the 30-pound iMac herself to their service center or pay HKD1200for the Apple Care which offers the on-site replacement service. 
    First of all, I foundyour request very unreasonable.  Mydaughter was not the one who broke the hard disk, your company informed herthat you gave her a defective one. So why is the responsibility and the cost of taking the iMac for repairshould be borne by her, as an innocent customer, who paid HKD18, 000 for aniMac directly ordered from your official website?  She did nothing wrong but your company required her to barethe cost of transporting a 30-pound iMac and the risk of causing damage on theway. 
    Secondly, I believeyour company has deceitfully forced my daughter to buy your Apple Care, whichis completely against her original will. Since she is just a 22-year-old girl, it is impossible for her to carrythe 30-pound iMac by herself.  Andclearly, she was not given a choice but had to pay HKD1200 for the AppleCare.  This made me doubt if thisis a scam of your company.  Is thisa way of how Apple make extra money by giving your customer faulty products anda mission impossible, then forcing us to pay for a service that we did notneed?
    Anyway, thepainfulness of enjoying your Apple Care service has just started…
    On Aug 10, 20111:30pm, your service man came to change her hard disk with just a look as ifthe process was very ‘efficient’ and left after half an hour, even her Mac OShas not yet been completely installed. After he left, my daughter found that the OS could not be installed, soshe called your service center immediately and under her strong request, he hadto come back on the same day and check the new hard disk.  He found it proved to be a defectiveone again.  I was shockinglysurprised that your company, which always claims to produce products of highquality, selling at an expensive price, replaced my claim-to-be defective harddisk with a defective one again.  Iwonder how Apple’s quality control is done?  Your company didn’t even bother to check if the new harddisk is working before replacing it for customers. 
    My daughter requestedfor a new one, but then your service center said they had no new stock andasked her to wait until further notice. But without any definite date, it means my daughter’s brand new computercannot be used for… I don’t know how long.  Please notice that I paid HKD18,000 to buy a first-classproduct of high quality, as claimed by your company all over the world.
    So my daughter had tocall your service center again and forced them to return her original harddisk.  Till 5:00 pm on the sameday, another technician came to reinstall her original hard disk into hercomputer.  Surprisingly, all thedata in her original hard disk was still there, which means there is a riskthat all her personal data and information had been accessed by your servicecenter staff.   
    As a father, I had totake over the matter from my daughter and called your hotline 2112 0099 at5:00pm on Aug 10, 2011.  After 30minutes, I could finally talk to one of your technical support staff for 10minutes about my complaint.  Heasked me to hold the line and wait for him to transfer my call to his seniortechnical support colleague, so I kept on waiting for 15 minutes, but finallythe line was being cut and no body contacted me and my daughter again.
    I had to call yourhotline again at 6:00 pm and waited for another 15 minutes to reach one of youradvisors.  He passed my line toyour senior technical support advisor located in Singapore.  He said he is just a technical supportadvisor, so he could not take my complaint directly. He needed to talk to meagain on the next day with a customer service advisor.  He promised if he could not reach me onmy mobile phone, he would leave his direct line for me so that I would not haveto waste another half an hour to reach him through the hotline.
    On Aug 11, 2011 5:28pm, I received a voice mail from your senior technical support advisor asking me to call him back but he didn’t leave any direct telephonenumber as he promised.  So I triedto call back the caller ID, which was shown on my phone.  However, the auto reply of this numberwas, “This is an invalid number”. I asked the Hong Kong Telephone Company to help me to call but even theycould not reach this number.  Theytold me this number was from Shanghai, China.  So I had no choice but to call your hotline again.  After 25 minutes, one of your advisorstook my call and I had to repeat my story to him again in order to have him putme through to talk to your senior staff 42058 again.  I asked him why he didn’t leave his direct number for me tocall him back as he promised.  Hesaid he forgot!  What a surprisinganswer to leave your customer nothing but a number that he knew clearlycouldn’t be reached. 
    By that time, I havewasted nearly 45 minutes to reach him, and it was already 6:20pm and thecustomer service advisor was off work. Therefore, I made an appointment with him again and we agreed that hewould call me between 9:31-10:00am on Aug 12, 2011 morning.  I took half day-off from my work towait for your senior staff to call me.
    Unfortunately, Iwaited until 10:10 am and nobody contacted me again (I left both my mobilenumber and email to them).
    Finally, I called the hotline again and waited for 15 minutes, an advisor put me to your on-dutyCustomer Service Manager, Ken.  After I told him my name, he realized that he should be theone responsible for calling me this morning, but since he had a meeting thatmorning, he forgot to call me again! The Apple staff didn’t keep their promises after all which disappointedme a lot.  It seems to me thatApple is unwilling to accept negative feedbacks from customers.
    Ken told me thatthere was nothing he could do. 
    At the end, I wasreferred to a Customer Relations staff, Ms. Wing Liu.  Her response was also there is nothing she can do exceptgiving me a case number of my complaint. Since then, I never get any response from Apple regarding my case.
    I believe Apple has afull record of all my conversations with your staff and thus, should be able tolook into my case thoroughly.  Isincerely hope that Apple can take my feedback seriously and respond to my complaintin a responsible manner, but not just trying to suppress your customers, whohave already been treated unfairly, from claiming their rights.   Otherwise, it is really a shamefor Apple to claim itself delivering high quality products and services allover the world.
    Yours truly,
    Tommy Fong

  • Toshiba Satellite L650-07U, Hard disk failure and replacement

    Hi all,
    I have Toshiba Satellite L650-07U Laptop, Model: PSK1EC-0700Q with 4GB RAM, 650GB HD, Windows 7 Home Premium installed. At the time of first use, i made Recovery DVDs which took 4 blank DVDs using Recovery media creator.
    From 2 weeks it is giving problem, at start its slowdown with every application,  then suddenly it started Hard disk failure error and ask to backup important files. From that instant i did all my backup save in another portable Hard drive.
    I had hiren boot CD, and ran RAM test and found it OK, and then run Hard Disk test and found few bad sectors at few certain point, As 650GB Hard disk was taking alot time of time for checking bad sectors, so i stopped that application.
    First I tried Recovery DVDs to restore Windows, but it failed as Laptop DVD-Writer was unable to boot from those created DVDs (DVDs are OK as had checked it on Desktop computer DVD-ROM), Laptop DVD-Writer is also working as I test few more bootable CDs and it booted perfectly, but it is not booting from Recovery DVDs.
    Than i tried to restore from Recovery partition using Factory restore settings, it erases all data and reinstall new and fresh copy of Windows 7 Home Premium. It works fine for few hours than again pops up Hard Disk Failure message again and again. I searched here in Toshiba Forum and have found similar problem with other members and finally decided that it need to replace Hard Disk with new one. As It is now two and a half month old, thats why i need to buy new Hard Disk for my Laptop.
    I checked all partitions of drive using Hiren Boot CD, and had found that there are four default partitions in Toshiba original laptop drive,
    One hidden partition of 1.5 GB
    One hidden partition of almost 21 GB
    One hidden partition of almost 12 GB
    One partition of 561 GB, which was the original partition where windows 7 was installed along with all of my Data.
    Now I want to replace faulty drive with a new one and have a lot of question in my mind which I need to share with you guys.
    At the time of first use I installed Windows 7 64 bit edition, and made Recovery DVDs, and at second time of restore to factory setting I had installed Windows 7 32 bit. I have confusion about recovery DVDs (which is not booting from default DVD-Writer of Laptop), either it has 64 Bit recovery data or 32 bit? Or have both 64 and 32 bit Data.
    Toshiba restore to factory setting without using any recovery DVD/USB is the best possible way to restore Windows 7, How can I make same recover hidden partitions from original/faulty hard drives to new hard drive partitions? Is this possible and how?
    On Default hard drive there was one partition of 561GB instead of two or more partitions. Is this possible to split partitions in new hard drives instead of one big partition?
    As Recovery DVDs are not able to boot from laptop default DVD-Writer, is it possible to open those DVDs on another System and copy tem in USB drive and use it for booting? If it is possible than please show me the steps for making bootable USB from these Recovery DVDs.
    Thanks,
    masterleous

    Satellite L650-07U (PSK1EC-07U00Q)
    This site is for US computers. I doubt you'll get your questions for that Canadian model answered here.
    There appear to be two recovery partitions. Maybe one for 32- and one for 64-bit Windows. Or maybe one is for English and the other for French.
    Your User's Manual isn't much help either. You probably need to ask Toshiba tech support in Canada.
    About all I have to offer is this: Be wary of drives with advanced-format technology. See my message about that.

  • Hard disk not detected once, but now working?

    Hi,
    I'm Zak, a bit of techie when it comes to playing with software, or re-assembling computers and whatnot. Unfortunately I've got no clue about some other things.
    A bit of quick history on my notebook: The fan has been making terrible noises the last few weeks. Initially I thought it was some dust so I got some duster. A lot of dust came out, so that can only be good, but the noises came back after a few days. After some searching I figured the other logical explanation was probably the hard drive going bad. I'm hesitant to send it back to HP because I use it for all my university work and it would really set me back a few weeks to not have it.
    So, a few days ago, I booted up my notebook to a "hard drive not detected" - or very similar - message. There were a few options, for f1-f4, they were system information, and 3 different tests (I think). I ran the tests, each one came back fine, noting that there was no OS installed, or hard disk to boot from. I rebooted because I hadn't quite seen it boot up, and wanted to see if there were any other options. Turns out, it started up fine. I restarted once more and again, it did fine.
    Next, I scrambled around, backing up all my data, getting together warranty info, installing the HP Support Assistant, etc. I ran all the tests from the Support Assistant and there were no problems detected. Since then I've just been hibernating the notebook when I stop using it, and I haven't encountered any unusual trouble. It all seems fine, but my warranty expires Dec 7th of this year. Is it safe for me to assume the "hard drive not detected" error was just a single misfire? I've read a lot of threads and FAQs on it and it doesn't sound like something that just happens once and goes away. On the other hand, I've never had to use a warranty so am unsure quite how the process works, and like I said, sending it anywhere would put me back in my work.
    For the sake of a full post, I have an HP G62-367DX Notebook, running on Windows 7 64-bit OS, and as far as I know there were no changes made between the error and my prior boot. If there's any other information I can provide, just let me know.
    Cheers, thank you very much for any assistance, and good day
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The tests from the Assistant are not as comprehensive or reliable as the full hard drive test in the BIOS....tap F10 as you power up, go in there and find the hard drive test. Run the long form test and see what is says. It is not unusual for hard drive issues to start as intermittent and gradually get more frequent. If your drive passes the long form test you can fairly safely assume it was a one-time gremlin of some sort, but it is still a real good idea to back up. I like the idea of the online backup services and I will name Carbonite only because it is well known and not as an endorsement. There are several more and an external drive is also a good idea.
    You cannot put off a reboot forever; you are going to have to confront the issue at some point.

  • IMac doesn't recognise the internal hard disk (intermittent)

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone could give me an advice on this problem.
    Background: A few days ago my iMac (20-inch MA877LL) would not boot up, it would sit on the gray screen with the wheel spinning for ever. I thought the OS might have got corrupted so I tried to re-install Snow Leopard from the CD. Installation fails with a message like 'the content of HD can not be changed'. I then went to Disk Utilities trying to repair the disk but had no luck with the repair so I decided to format the disk. I managed to get into my hard disk using the cmd R key combination at power up and backed up my essential files onto a external hard disk. I formatted/erase the hard disk (zeroed out) and tried to reinstall the Snow Leopard again. The installation failed again. Rebooted the system again and tried to re instal again but this time I got as far as the 'select the disk where you want to install Mac OS' but my Hard Disk is not listed, it's a blank list! Rebooted the maching again, tried the installation, this time it sees the hard disk but the installation fails again.
    I have tried to change the boot source by hodling the 'alt' key down at power up, but I am only given the option of the CD drive with installation disk as the boot source i.e. no Har Disk. It appears that the Hard Disk is intermittently recognised and hence my problem with booting the maching when the problem started.
    I am happy to purchase an internal disk to replace the existing one, but I have a feeling the actual Disk it's OK, after all I managed to access my data to back up and then format it with no problem. I just think there's a problem somewhere that intemittently doesn't recognise the Hard Disk.
    Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

    You need to have the hard drive replaced. The one that is currently installed has failed.

  • Comparison of SSD with hard disk drives

    Attribute or characteristic
    Solid-state drive
    Hard disk drive
    Spin-up time
    Instantaneous.
    May take several seconds. With a large number of drives, spin-up may need to be staggered to limit total power drawn.
    Random access time[45]
    About 0.1 ms - many times faster than HDDs because data is accessed directly from the flash memory
    Ranges from 5–10 ms due to the need to move the heads and wait for the data to rotate under the read/write head
    Read latency time[46]
    Generally low because the data can be read directly from any location; In applications where hard disk seeks are the limiting factor, this results in faster boot and application launch times (see Amdahl's law).[47]
    Generally high since the mechanical components require additional time to get aligned
    Consistent read performance[48]
    Read performance does not change based on where data is stored on an SSD
    If data is written in a fragmented way, reading back the data will have varying response times
    Defragmentation
    SSDs do not benefit from defragmentation because there is little benefit to reading data sequentially and any defragmentation process adds additional writes on the NAND flash that already have a limited cycle life.[49][50]
    HDDs may require defragmentation after continued operations or erasing and writing data, especially involving large files or where the disk space becomes low. [51]
    Acoustic levels
    SSDs have no moving parts and make no sound
    HDDs have moving parts (heads, spindle motor) and have varying levels of sound depending upon model
    Mechanical reliability
    A lack of moving parts virtually eliminates mechanical breakdowns
    HDDs have many moving parts that are all subject to failure over time
    Susceptibility toenvironmental factors[47][52][53]
    No flying heads or rotating platters to fail as a result of shock, altitude, or vibration
    The flying heads and rotating platters are generally susceptible to shock, altitude, and vibration
    Magneticsusceptibility[citation needed]
    No impact on flash memory
    Magnets or magnetic surges can alter data on the media
    Weight and size[52]
    The weight of flash memory and the circuit board material are very light compared to HDDs
    Higher performing HDDs require heavier components than laptop HDDs that are light, but not as light as SSDs
    Parallel operation[citation needed]
    Some flash controllers can have multiple flash chips reading and writing different data simultaneously
    HDDs have multiple heads (one per platter) but they are connected, and share one positioning motor.
    Write longevity
    Solid state drives that use flash memory have a limited number of writes over the life of the drive.[54][55][56][57] SSDs based on DRAM do not have a limited number of writes.
    Magnetic media do not have a limited number of writes.
    Software encryption limitations
    NAND flash memory cannot be overwritten, but has to be rewritten to previously erased blocks. If a software encryption program encrypts data already on the SSD, the overwritten data is still unsecured, unencrypted, and accessible (drive-based hardware encryption does not have this problem). Also data cannot be securely erased by overwriting the original file without special "Secure Erase" procedures built into the drive.[58]
    HDDs can overwrite data directly on the drive in any particular sector.
    Cost
    As of October 2010, NAND flash SSDs cost about (US)$1.40–2.00 per GB
    As of October 2010, HDDs cost about (US)$0.10/GB for 3.5 in and $0.20/GB for 2.5 in drives
    Storage capacity
    As of October 2010, SSDs come in different sizes up to 2TB but are typically 512GB or less[59]
    As of October 2010, HDDs are typically 2-3TB or less
    Read/write performance symmetry
    Less expensive SSDs typically have write speeds significantly lower than their read speeds. Higher performing SSDs and those from particular manufacturers have a balanced read and write speed.[citation needed]
    HDDs generally have symmetrical read and write speeds
    Free block availability andTRIM
    SSD write performance is significantly impacted by the availability of free, programmable blocks. Previously written data blocks that are no longer in use can be reclaimed by TRIM; however, even with TRIM, fewer free, programmable blocks translates into reduced performance.[25][60][61]
    HDDs are not affected by free blocks or the operation (or lack) of the TRIM command
    Power consumption
    High performance flash-based SSDs generally require 1/2 to 1/3 the power of HDDs; High performance DRAM SSDs generally require as much power as HDDs and consume power when the rest of the system is shut down.[62][63]
    High performance HDDs generally require between 12-18 watts; drives designed for notebook computers are typically 2 watts.

    I wish I could get my head round the SSD vs HDD with a NLE rig.  My builder is trying to persuade me to use a Toshiba 256Gb THNSNC256GBSJ for OS and programs, and it is only NZ$20 more expensive than the 450Gb 10k rpm VelociRaptor I was originally planing to use for the OS.  That sounds suspiciously cheap to me, and I am concerned about the finite writes to SSD - mainly because I don't really understand it.  
    The rest of the new build is
    3930K
    Gigabyte X79-UD5
    8 x DDR3 1600
    Coolermaster with 750W PSU
    Geforce GTX570
    I plan to transfer the drives from my current system as a starting point, and reassess after giving it some use.  That means
    Either the above SSD or 450Gb 10k Raptor for OS (new drives)
    300Gb 10k rpm Raptor  (currently used for OS in old box)
    150Gb 7k4 rpm Raptor (reserved for Photoshop Scratch in old box)
    2 x 1Tb WD Blacks (data drives)
    2 x 1Tb WD USB3 externals
    I don't know how I would configure the drives in the new box, but have seen Harm's table and will try to follow his advice.  It's a dreadful thing to admit, but I don't have a backup strategy, and the above drives are well over half full. Well over!  And I am only just getting serious about video, (the rest is mainly CR2 files from my Canon 1Ds3 and 1D4)
    I know it must be like banging your head against the wall, but should I avoid that SSD and go with the 450G Raptor?   I have read a comment that the WD Blacks don't work well as Raid0.  Is that BS or true?
    I am about to give the go-ahead so need to confirm the spec.
