Odd System wake and HDD Failure

I came to work this morning and my storage drive was missing from the desktop. Disc Utility could not see it and when I restarted my machine I got the message that mac os could not read the drive.
Checking the console I found this:
11/11/09 3:04:37 PM kernel Wake reason = EHCI
11/11/09 3:04:37 PM Suitcase Fusion[148] * -[NSConditionLock unlock]: lock (<NSConditionLock: 0x1743a570> '(null)') unlocked from thread which did not lock it

11/11/09 3:04:38 PM kernel USB (EHCI):Port 3 on bus 0xfd has remote wakeup from some device
I googled the 'wake reason line' and apparently this is a common problem with USB hubs (my apple display is the usb hub in question and port 3 is my keyboard.) Odd since yesterday was a holiday so work was closed.
Then a few minutes later the console log recorded this:
11/11/09 3:06:29 PM kernel AppleAHCIDiskQueueManager::setPowerState(0x7656c00, 0 -> 2) timed out after 100107 ms

Anyone have any ideas why computer woke up and why my disk failed?
Note: there are more messages in the log if it may help.
Thanks

I just noticed something that may be important. The console also logged this:

Could the failure have had something to do with spotlight?

Op System restore after HDD failure and replacement

Hi,
     I have an old dv9000 laptop with XPPro factory installed SP2, since upgraded to SP3. The hard drive failed (80Gig Seagate). I checked with the bios setup test, it said "fail" and I checked by booting from the CD drive the windows install disk. It said, no hard drive found. SO I bought a larger 1T byte drive (same mfr Seagate, same rpm 5400) and installed it. I have a network backup drive (Seagate Black armor) and I was able to restore the last backup. The cd drive booted the recovery disk for that program, the hdd light flickered and it seemed to be doing something for 3 hours, then said it was complete.
     But the new drive will not boot. I read on this forum and the common recommendation was to use the System Recovery disks that came with the laptop. I dug through the boxes in the garage and found the system recovery disks and my 14 cd's made for system restore. :-) pays to keep junk sometimes. But I tried the system recovery disk and it will not boot up in the cd drive. I get a blank screen with the cursor in the upper left blinking. I went back to try the Seagate recovery disk, and now, it will not boot up either. I tried removing the new HDD. and with or without a cd in the drive it gives the message "No Op sysytem found." SO I think something has affected the CDdrive. But interestingly with the cursor blinking <cntrl><alt><delete> will reboot the machine, so maybe some part of the op system gets loaded.
    It's an old machine, old op system. I shopped Hp store and only Windows8 available now. SO I'm either forced to the bleeding edge with all the new bugs and learning curve or I try to get this old machine going. Other things I've tied, hard reset, restore bios defaults.
    Any thoughts you may have will be appreciated.
This question was solved.

Hello,
            The laptop is back up and running with the new hard drive, Yay! and a new cd drive.
             Here's what it took, for anybody who ever has the same problem:
             The CD drive was bad. The nearest local supplier on the list that hp parts support gave me had a suitable replacement. I installed that, and the system restore disk booted and ran immediately. I decided to check and see if the windows install disk would run and restore the sytem since I believed I had already restored the whole C: partition. It booted up but did not find the hard drive. It gave an eror message that said no drive found. I went back to the hp system restore disk and ran that. It took several hours reformatted the disk (deleting anything I'd already put on) and rebooted itself many times. Eventualy it came up with a windows desktop. It was as the factory installed 5+ years ago. I installed the Seagate back up software and ran that. It seemed to have more options running in windows than it did running directly from the cd boot. One of the options was to restore the MBR. I had to look up what that was, Master Boot Record. I figured it should be restored. The full C: restore from backup process took another few hours, but it finished and gave an operation successfull message.
             Then I rebooted and got the windows logon screen, logged in and got my desktop as it was at the time of the backup. Success.
             In the future I'll look for that MBR restore, maybe it was there and I missed it the first time. I have a slight nagging worry that maybe something else caused both drives to fail at almost the same time. But, I'm not going to fuss with it. I'm hoping the machine runs well for a while longer.
              Thanks to those who tried to help.
     Later,

Replaced mobo and HDD, now system says no hdd installed-HP dv5000

I had a perfectly functioning laptop one week ago, and then I decided to "upgrade" the HDD to SSD.
I attempted to clone the HDD over to the SSD. The cloning process seemed to work fine. When I installed the SSD, I got an error message "System Disk Error". I re-installed the original HDD, and got same error message.
Thinking that I may have had a coincidental catastophic failure unrelated to my cloning attempt, I obtained a new mobo and HDD, installed both, and tried to install Windows fresh. I now get an error message similar to "No HDD installed in system".
With a new mobo, new HDD, I did not anticipate this type of problem.
I do not have any restore or rescue disks. I thought that if I put in a new HDD and mobo, windows should install without problem.
What am I missing?
Thanks.

Hi,
I assume that you have used the same sata cable on both motherboards. My guess is that the cable or its connectors could be damaged by replacing the hdd for the ssd. I don't think that you would have almost the same problem on a new mtb with a new hard drive.

Using Windows 7 Professional, as soon at I try to start a system restore, I receive error message "Incorrect function. (0x80070001)" and "Catastrophic failure (0x80000FFFF)." How can I avoid this and perform my system restore?

Windows Explorer has stopped responding for the most part and I found http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2694911 list of solutions. After working through all of the first options on the list, I tried a system restore three different points
but got the same two errors: "Incorrect function. (0x80070001)" and "Catastrophic failure (0x80000FFFF)."

Hi TAS,
Regarding the error message, I recommend you try to this :
"0x8000ffff" error message when you try to restore a Windows 7-based computer by using System Restore

If your issue persists, let me known.

De-activate and re-activate after HDD failure

Hi, as above computer has a fatal HDD failure, so I can't access Photoshop Elements 11,
how do I de-activate and re-activate on the new HDD install? Thanks in advance, Herman

Your PSE license is for up to two computers, so if you only had it installed once, prior, just install and activate it again. If this new computer would be the third computer, then you’ll need to contact Adobe Activation Support via chat to deactivate your old computer on their server.

System wakes up automatically several times during sleep (logs says RTC Alarm) and improperly Ejects external HD. [MBPro Late 2012 + OSX Yosemite]

Hi there,
Background:
the main issue is that after system wake-up I find often several notification messages about my external drive not being properly ejected.
This seems to be a common issue for many Yosemite users, some say disabling Spotlight indexing for that volume solves the problem, but this is not my case. That's why I'm creating another thread.
Multiple ejects:
Looking at system logs it comes out my MacBookPro with Yosemite when put in standby is actually waking up several times every approx 90 minutes to do something.
(MBP Late 2012: not a new MBP with PowerNap and thus cannot use nor disable it)
Logs are like this:
20/02/15 03:21:13,000 kernel[0]: Wake reason: RTC (Alarm)

Questions:
- What is WAKE REASON - RTC (ALARM) ? - Could it be linked to Auto Time&Date Setting?
- Why disk3s2 is not present?
Disk is badly ejected only when connected through USB hub. When left connected to MBP USB port seems to behave fine.
Before Yosemite I've never had any problem with external HD connected to the hub.

I believe this is ready for submission for the Time Machine forum.
As noted, it does not cover diagnosis and correction of specific problems or errors, as that would seem to be better handled separately.
It also doesn't cover anything about Time Capsule, for the very good reason that I'm not familiar with them. If someone wants to draft a separate post for it, or items to add/update here, that would be great!
Thanks very much.

2008 iMac running beautifully untill recently. Screen glitches and freezing. Apple Hardware test showed error code 4MOT/2/40000004:ADD and I have not seen others with this code. Guessing it is a fan issue based on the ODD and HDD error codes

computer felt hot and while running apple hardware test the screen glitches covered the screen and it froze. Now computer wont boot up. Again AHT code is 4MOT/2/40000004:ADD and I have just seen ODD and HDD codes discussed on other threads.Those were hardrive or superdrive fans, so I am guessing this is a fan issue and then it fried by graphics card. Any help as to whether this is game over or worth repairing would be very appreciated.

You need to take it to your local Apple Store or AASP for a professional evaluation. Apple does not publish the codes from AHT, you can Google the code you got and see if you can determine what it means however the best method is to let a pro handle it.

Odd System Hangs [SOLVED]

I have a cleanly installed Arch (x86) system on a Dell Vostro 1500
Intel 2.5 GHz Core 2
Braodcom Wireless (ndiswrapper)
4GB Ram
250 GB Western Digital HDD (sata)
nvidia 8400 GS 256 MB
1650x1080 Resolution
Built in UVC web cam
I seem to be having these completely random and odd system hangs.
It prevents me from using my computer for more than a few minutes at a time.
When it hangs, its usually what ever process im in gets stuck, i cant kill it completely all the time. Sometimes i can using top as root and sometimes i can using kill -kill but sometimes i cant at all and that is usually when the PPID is 1.
When I try to shutdown or reboot either from in gnome or one of the virtual consoles, it always says something about either the root or home partition unable to be unmounted, that they are still busy.
my partition layout is such:
sda1 NTFS Vista (I have to have it because of stupid itunes/iphone)
sda2 ext2 boot
sda3 xfs root
extended:
sda5 xfs home
sda6 swap swap
my ntfs partition is about 50GB and when i boot into vista i dont get the same hangs, so i don't think its a hard drive issue (but could be an partition issue)
boot partition is something like 300MB
root is something like 12 GB
Home is something like 70 gb
and swap is about 2gb
It does not matter whether or not im in gnome since if at log in screen, ill hit ctrl+alt+f1 and switch to a consol and do something as simple as like update the computer and ill cause it to hang sometimes (but not every time its too unpredictable)
When in gnome however, most applications refuse to launch and sometimes even close. The gnome-panel and some (like the system monitor) lock up but things like cpu freq scaling continues to work as does log out and the menu.
i have also had issues with the latest (-3) nvidia driver and can only get 1680x1050 resolution using the open source nv drivers (haven't had a chance to build from aur the beta drivers yet since there is an issue with the nvidia-utils-beta package) but i don't think this is causing it.
i used the western digital tool to do a hard drive scan, and it didn't find anything in the quick scan but it is still running the full scan.
I suspect it might be due to some package upgrade, i was running arch before the reformat and it was causing me to have the same issues.
i have kicked my personal Ubuntun (and derivatives) additional because of Arch's rolling release cycle so that's why i would rather put up with it for another week to figure this out!
Let me know if there is any log files i should post or anything that way i can get this fixed! And thanks in advanced (even to those of you who will probably only comment to make fun of vista, it still will keep my thread alive! )

P67a-GD65 System Freezes and Recovers During 3D gaming and Online Video

The Problem:
Temporary system freeze with audio stutter. The system recovers 30sec - 2min later.
Key presses made during freeze will execute after system recovers (ctrl+alt+delete for example)
Usually, but not always, I see an error message in the system tray and I do NOT experience bsod.
This happens seemingly at random from 3D accelerated applications, and web browsing. Games such as BF3 (moderate), WoW (seldom), Planetside 2 (frequently), Minecraft (seldom), Hawken (seldom), etc.
Also happens frequently in both Internet Explorer 9/10, Firefox, Chrome, and Steam store browser. Typically when watching steaming video (youtube, HULU, flow player, etc)
but Pandora audio streaming also seems to create the conditions where this happens.
Error Message:
"Display driver stopped responding and has recovered
Display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernal Mode Driver 314.07 stopped
responding and has successfully recovered"
The problem also shows up in the Windows reliability history with the following data:

My System Hardware:
CPU: Intel i7 2600k @ 4.5ghz
Motherboard: MSI p67a-gd65 (B3 stepping)
Memory: G.SKILL Sniper 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
GPU: Originally MSI 6950 2GB. Replaced with EVGA 670 FTW 2GB.

HDD: 3x Western Digital WD RE4 WD5003ABYX 500GB in Raid 0
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 with all updates
Case/Cooling: Silverstone Raven 2E with Thermalright silver arrow cpu heatsink
What I've tried:
Updated all motherboard drivers and bios (4.3) to current versions (no improvement)
Updated display drivers (in safe mode with driver sweeper. No improvement)
Updated Realtek Audio drivers for onboard sound (no improvement)
Updated Intel Rapid Storage drivers (no improvment)
Cleared CMOS and tested system at default settings with no overlock (no improvement)
Flashed 6950 back to 6950 stock bios and removed overclock (no improvement)
Replaced old 6950 with new GTX 670 (problem still occurs in the same exact way)
Tried GPU in 2nd PCIe slot. No improvement.
Checked GPU Temps. GTX 670 fan profile in EVGA Precision X set to keep temp below 70 degrees Celcius. Card maxes at 60 degrees under heavy gaming load.
Complete reformat of raid array with fresh install of Windows (4 different times) Seemed to help for a few days, then freezes came back
Ran OCCT and Prime 95 Torture tests separately for a few hours at stock and OC settings. System stable with core temps of high 50's overclocked, and low 40's stock.
Ran Memtest86 for 10 hours with zero errors.
Used digital multimeter to test 12v rail on PSU. Noted solid 12v reported. Didn't test other rails.
Unplugged PSU cables from motherboard and reattached firmly
Ran HD Tune and Data Life Guard Tools for error checking on hard disks. Zero errors found.
Disabled Windows Aero (no improvement)
Updated Adobe Flash Player to latest setting (no improvement)
Removed Adobe Flash Player (no improvement)
Turned off Adobe Flash hardware acceleration (no improvement)
*EDIT: Forgot that I also adjusted Nvidia driver profiles for apps that have frozen to include power preference to max performance
All of my hardware with the exception of the new 670 was purchased and configured back in February of 2011. This problem first occured in BF3 multiplayer sometime in early 2012,
and has gradually been happening more frequently. Web searches found many individuals with this error, but the solutions are all over the map, and I've tried just about everything that I've found.
I think I've narrowed the problem down to the motherboard, but I just can't find a clear answer or solution. Maybe it's the raid array? I really thought replacing the GPU would solve my trouble here
and I was...NOT happy when it happened again with the new 670 that I scored for $250 after amazon gift cards. I typically get kicked/disconnected during online game play when this happens and I'm ready to be done with it. I was hoping to fix the issue without needing to buy new hardware, but I don't see any other way at this point.
My patience runs thin. Please help!

Might want to ask for the special archive to return the mainboard to pre-Ivy support UEFI/BIOS and then test again with everything set to auto/stock/default.
Already tested that before updating to 4.3. I started having the problem on 1.8, then 1.J0, then 4.3.

Just a shot in the dark.
The length of time that your CPU has been running at the OC could have accelerated the eventual degradation.
Have you tested your CPU in another board or do you have access to a "known good" CPU to test in your system ?
I do not have another 1155 lga board to test the cpu in unfortunately, hence the CPU stress testing. Based upon previous experiences with multiple overclocked systems that I've run at much more aggressive overclocks, I don't believe I'm seeing a processor failure, though I can't rule out the possibility.
Quote from: xmad on 11-March-13, 23:26:01
Quite a few components can cause this.
Do you have a friend that could lend you a psu to test? A weak of failing PSU can often be the cause of something like this?
No I don't have another PSU to test. I did use a digital multimeter to test the 12v rail, as well as the motherboard contacts for testing voltage to the cpu and system They were all right in line with what I'm seeing reported in the bios. I did not test these contacts while the system was under load however, so I may need to do it again.

Windows 7 won't load properly / possible HDD failure?

Well I will start off by saying I've been having problems with this since I've bought it. It used to be under warranty and I had to ship it back twice, and I've had to do countless system recoveries but this time I'm at a loss. My current problem started about 4 days ago. I had skype downloaded, and my skype started freezing randomly, but only for 30 seconds to a minute, and then come right back to working. Then this started happening more frequently, and then it got to the point to where it wasn't just skype that would freeze, it was my computer. It must have only been explorer.exe that was freezing or something because my mouse still moved, and if I was in a skype call the skype call would work but I couldnt type or click on skype without it saying that it wasn't responding. Then yesterday that problem upgraded again to nothing working very well. My computer (again I can only assume it was explorer or something) would start up normally, and then once I got to my desktop the load light would come on my tower and freeze / slow down anything and everything. Example was I had VLC media player open watching a show and the video would freeze for 2 to 5 minutes, play for 10 seconds, then freeze again. Beforehand it was only slight lock ups, but then it became full blown lockups. Once that load light came on it stayed on and never wavered and I would be forced to restart my computer to even give it a chance to run properly for a few minutes before this same problem would occur. Yesterday however the problem upgraded once again, and my computer wouldn't even let me get to my desktop normally. I was able to load into safemode with networking to try some solutions but nothing worked. Then the hangup issue started occuring in safe mode as well, forcing me to restart again. This is where it just keeps getting worse sadly. My computer would get to the "Starting Windows" screen, sit there for a couple minutes, then maybe 1 out of 10 attempts it would get to the "Welcome" screen as if it was trying to load my desktop but never would load it, and on the other 9 attempts I didn't make it to the "Welcome" screen it just sat a black screen with the load light going and it would never do anything. My mouse has never been frozen at any point so it's not a full on freeze situation, but something isn't right. I did a sytem recovery last night, put it back once again to factory settings and it still locked up a little but nothing compared to how it had been. I turned my pc off and went to sleep, and then this morning it did the usual not getting past the "starting windows" screen. Sometimes it wouldn't even recognize my hard drive, giving me the old "insert media and boot from disc" or "No media found", I also got two errors, PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable, and the other message was PXE-MOF: Exiting PXE ROM. Then after receiving those messages my computer would restart and give me the choice to hit a button to load from disk. Throught the course of this problem I tried startup repairs, smart tests, anti viruses, nothing did anything to help. So I decided once again it was going to be time for a system recovery, but now when I hit f11 to go into the system recovery options, all of it is blacked out. I can't even click on system recovery anymore. So at this point Windows 7 won't load at all, not even in safe mode, and I'm lucky to even be given the OPTION to start it in safe mode. Half of the time it seems my computer doesnt even recognize my harddrive, and I can't even do a system recovery or repair tools, but the repair tools didn't really do anything anyway. So I have no way to use that computer, and Im thinking it might be HDD failure but I'm not hearing any noises coming from it and my computer has always been a little slow so it's not like things have slowed down by a lot so I'm not so sure its my HDD but I have no idea what to do or where to start since I've exhausted all my of resources on trying to fix this issue myself. I know this problem is probably way too vague to try to get an accurate idea of what is wrong, but I will check back now and then and answer any questions to the best of my ability (I'm not tech savy so if you need really fancy PC information you wil most likely need to tell me how to acquire said information). I mean I guess if I have to I will get a new HDD, but that means I will most likely need to get a new OS, and I love windows 7 with all my heart and I don't want to upgrade at windows 8. I feel like it's my OS but it could very well be anything at this point.

Hi @rhhox ,
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post ( serial numbers and case details).
If you are unfamiliar with how the Forum's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.

Portege R30 won't boot from SSD after upgrade to SSD and HDD under CSM mode

Hi
I upgraded my Portege R30-ASMBN22 to SSD (Crucial M550) and replace the optical drive by the original HDD with caddy.
In order to install Windows 7, I change the BIOS to CSM mode. But now the system won't boot automatically from the SSD. It only boot from HDD which is in the ODD spot.
I could press F12 while turning on my laptop, and bring up the boot manual. Here I can see my SSD and I can boot from it correctly. However, if I don't press F12 when it starts. It will always try to boot from HDD.
In the boot order in the BIOS, I only see HDD/SSD, USB Memory, ODD .... It doesn't give me the option to choose between SSD and HDD. Is there any other way to change the boot order among HDD and SSD?
Thanks,
Louis

Hi,
I did the same operation to my Portege R30-A-17C, and have the same problem, is there any way to boot without pushing F12 every time.
Thanks,
Pablo

Buffer I/O error on device sdd1, logical block, HDD failure? [SOLVED]

Hello!
I'm a bit puzzled here to be honest. Granted i'm not using linux as much as I used to (not after windows 7). I have archlinux running on my HTPC. Never had any issues before that was this severe, unless I upgraded and forgot to read news section. Booted the htpc today to be greeted by "Buffer I/O error on device sdd1, logical block" with a massive wall of text, a few seconds later "welcome to emergency mode."
*This is NOT hdd where the linux kernel is residing on. What logical purpose would it serve for the kernel/userspace to abort everything just because fsck fails or something? If this was indeed my linux partition I would fully understand.
Anyways, I used parted magic, ran fsck, smart. Sure enough fsck warned me about bad/missing superblock. Restored the superblock by using e2fsck. I had over 10 000 "incorrect size" chunks. Ran 2-3 SMART after that. fsck says okay, smart gives a 100% status report with no errors.
Oh yeah, I have turned off FSCK completly in my fstab, thinking about at least turning it on my bigger hdds
Questions:
*Is SMART reliable? If it says it's alright, does that mean i'm safe? Would physical broken sectors turn up by SMART?
*I know SMART warns the user in windows 7 if hdd failure is imment. Is this possible within linux as well? Since i'm NOT using a GUI, is this possible to send through a terminal/email?
*Sometimes the HTPC have been forefully shut down (power breakage), could this be one of the causes of the I/O error?
As always, thank you for your support.

Sorry for the late reply guys. Been busy with my other hdd that decided to screw with me. e2fsck first complained about bad sectors, and wrong size. Now it says all clean. I've decided to remove this HDD from server and mark it "damaged".
Thank you again for your help

1) Don't trust the 'SMART overall-health self-assessment test result', run the diagnostics (short, long, conveyance, offline). The short and conveyance tests are quick so start with them. If they both pass run the long test. The offline test is supposed to update SMART attributes, but it generally takes longer than the long test, so save it for last if at all. Usually when I see bad drives the short or long tests pick them up.
2) Look into smartd.service.
greenfish wrote:What logical purpose would it serve for the kernel/userspace to abort everything just because fsck fails or something?
Systemd craps itself if an fs configured to mount during boot can't be mounted, even if the fs isn't necessary for the system to boot. Rot sure about how it handles fsck failures. This 'feature' can be disabled by putting nofail in the fstab options. I add it to every non-essential automounting fs.
Thank you for the useful information. I will save this post for future references.
Will deff look into smartd.service, especially when I have so much data running 24/7.
Will also update my fstab table with "nofail" like you suggested
Thank You!

Freezing on start-up, odd display glitches and streaking: what's going on!?

Hello all,
Recently the condition of my MacPro's performance has steadily declined and I have no idea what is going on. Upon cold start, the macpro freezes up when the desktop hasn't even properly loaded. Frequently, after having a normal start-up, I see odd graphical stretching and shearing of the display, as if someone were stretching a part of the display like rubber.
There will also occasionally be odd horizontal streaks (very thin, about a pixel or two wide) running across the screen.
To add to that, some video has not loaded properly in Safari and has caused frequent application freezes.
Can anyone pinpoint what is going on with my investment? Is it a graphics card issue, an issue with the HD, an issue of corrupt files/viruses, start-up items, or even dust?
It seems to be getting worse and its become really annoying.
I'm not even sure if turning it on is doing it any good anymore.
Any help on this is greatly appreciated!

Thanks, sorry I didn't post the specs but I was in a rush. I pulled the side off the tower tonight and I have the ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512MB card in my Mac Pro. It had been running fine since 2007.
I noticed it had some dust in it so I took everything apart on the tower and cleaned the whole thing. After I put it back together, I do not get the black streaking now. I still get some very small colored specs, but no freezing up of the system either.
If that card is prone to failure or dust issues = bad performance. Is there an option someone can suggest for the older dual core mac pro's?
Thanks,
John M.

Satellite L550 - SMART Reports HDD Failure Soon - What To Do?

Toshiba Satellite L550-113
On startup, I get a SMART message reporting HDD failure soon, and I'm requested to hit F1 before it will continue to boot to Windows (Vista 32 Bit).
The actual message from the Toshiba HDD Alert application is as follows:
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. Toshiba strongly recommends you create a back-up for your HDD data. Then contact an authorized service provider in order to check your drive and purchase a new replacement drive if necessary.
I've ordered a new HDD to replace the failing HDD (can't be bothered p*ssing about with RMA's and tech support).
However, is it possible to fix the old HDD once it's been removed? If I reformat it, will this do anything, or is it more serious than that?

Thanks for the advice. I used the Win7 backup process using an external HDD, then installed the new HDD and restored the system. The built-in Toshiba backup system software was corrupted & missing, so Win7 backup was my best option.
The laptop belonged to a family member who passed away last year, so I've no idea if the warranty still existed. I needed to get the laptop up and running as soon as possible, so going through the RMA process with Toshiba was always going to take too long.
My question still stands... is there anything I can do with the old drive to get it out of SMART mode failure?

BIOS flash question and Diskboot Failure

First time caller but long time listener...
I just recently built this box but I'm having a few issues at the moment. The mobo has bios v1.5 and I need to reflash it to recognize the second core prior to loading OS. Now I'd like to try the floppy method and I can't seem to be able to boot from a floppy tried bot the XP and win98 OEM bootdisk method but after posting all I get is:
Boot from CD :
DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER...
So I tried changing the boot order to: Floppy, HDD, CDROM (and other variations like floppy, cd, HDD)
tried the following:
booting disabling all other bootable devices
disabling everything except floppy in boot order
changed out IDE connector
changed out 3.5drive
My question is should I just go ahead and load the OS and try liveupdate but I run it to the possiblility that I may need to reload the OS so it sees both cores.
Or...should I just try the boot CD method which sorta freaks me out with all the warnings that I see. I'm also completely unfamiliar with it. Is there any special process that I have to go through for a boot floppy to run?
not that this matters but I had to disable the onboard gigaLAN, b/c it was giving me errors.
thatnks much.

Is your floppy Disk controller enabled in bios? Does drive 'a' show 'none' on main bios page? If so, select your floppy drive.
Standard CMOS features shows DRIVE A: 1.44MB 3.5in

Try pressing F11 at POST and a one time menu of boot options will display; pick floppy.
Yeah, I tried that highlighte floppy and hit enter.

I normally use win98se boot disk but you say you have tried 2 boot disks. Google win98se and give that one a go.
will try this...thanks duder
