Satellite L550-1CC starts with Consistancy disks check

Hi all
I have a Satellite L550-1CC, running Windows 7.
Recently on start up I have been receiving the message " one of your disks needs to be checked for consistency " and then it runs a scan, and after 2 0r 3 minutes boots up to windows as normal.
This does not happen all the time, but recently has been more often than not.
Have I a problem with my hard disk?
Any sugestions?

Hi Xardas
I have noticed no noise from the HDD.
I have just checked Windows Event Viewer as you suggest and it has come up with lots of Warnings, around 50 or so, and even more Errors, about 100, that's just today.
The first error is "McAfee Real-time Scanner", however this program is not installed.
How do I get rid of this?

    Hi
    The unit was delivered only with the Toshiba recovery CD because the Toshiba Assists (on the desktop) contains an option to create the own Toshiba driver and tools CD.
    Therefore only one disc was delivered.
    By the way. You can create second partition and there you can install a second OS without deleting the available WinXP

  • Getting started with the compliance checker

    I just downloaded the vSPhere compliance checkers, 1 for 5.0, 5.1, and 5.5.   When I run the tool against the appropriate vcenter I only get results from 5 hosts. 
    What do I need to be able to get results from all hosts within vCenter?   is this only something that can be done using vRealize Configuration manager?
    Please share you knowledge of compliance tools so that I can move forward with the proper solution(s)..
    Thanks in advance!

  • Satellite C855-1TD starts with message "Checking media [Fail]"

    Okay, My Toshiba laptop has suddenly refused to work and will not start up. When it loads past the initial toshiba loading screen, a black screen appears saying "Checking media [fail]" I've tried everything that I have seen online that does not include opening up my laptop. It does not let me acess the Bios and I have tried every combination available.
    My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite C855-1TD and runs on windows 8.1 software.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Hi
    Usually you should be able to access the BIOS pressing the F2 button while booting up the unit.
    I cannot say for sure but it looks to me like serious hardware malfunction if you are not able to access the BIOS.
    Such serious hardware problem might be related to motherboard problems as well as RAM modules.
    In case you are able to access the BIOS, check if the HDD is still visible on the first BIOS page.
    If HDD isnt visible, then the notebook cannot find a proper bootable device and therefore the error Checking media fail appears.

  • It all started with 'clearing disk space'.

    Hey guys,
    So i'm having this grey blank screen problem.
    1) It started off while i was trying save some documents, didn't work so I went to Disk Utility, cleared the free space and then it was fine.
    2) I then tried to surf the web on safari. Some sites couldn't load and some sites did and all of a sudden, my mac just hanged.
    I tried to restart/shut down my mac through Finder and it just didn't restart/shutdown so I used the power button instead.
    Lo and behold, it took so long to boot and when it did it came to a blank screen.
    I did everything I could find on this support page.
    1) Ran it in safe nothing happened
    2) Ran it in recovery, nothing came out
    3) Then it came to a grey screen when I tried rebooting it so i did the PRAM thing and that brought my mac back up.
    So to check on it I did an 'EtreCheck' and here it is, seems to be... okay?

    To run Diagnostics, you can use the D key during power up.
    Using Apple Hardware Test
    Using Apple Diagnostics (for machines after June 2013)
    According to last EtreCheck you do not seem to have disk space issues. You can run it again to validate what you have.

  • Satellite C650D-007 starts with blank white screen

    Hi everyone,
    I need urgent help, I bought this new laptop 3 weeks ago from Futureshop.ca and now today, i pressed the power button to turn it on and when it does i get this blank white screen.
    I even tried removing the batterie and hooking up the AC direct and it still produced the same thing.
    I can't believe after only 3 weeks it stopped working.
    PS: it does power on. just a white blank screen. no logo nothing.
    thanks in advance.

    Hi
    I think Dr.Lamp is right it looks like a hardware issue
    The notebook is covered by warranty so either you will get in contact with an Toshiba ASP in your country and will ask for fix or you will check this with the dealer and maybe you could get a new notebook.
    However, I think such hardware problems can happen always you had simply a bad luck I bought a notebook from other manufacture for my father the notebook died after 3 days of usage :(
    I contacted the dealer and got a replacement.

  • Reinstalled OS on first Gen MackBook Pro when I started with Leopard I checked the box to keep previous files..... good move..... I have progressed on up to 10.6.8 (best there is is for that machine) Now HOW to delete that folder?? THX

    It will not let me delete all this stuff...... OS 10.6.8 is now up and running and all software updated..... I used that file to dig out music and photos and such...... Took me 15 hours to do all this yesterday but al is working like new...... I just need to dump this old stuff now... thanks again

    Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1710 You are referring to Previous System folder, at the root level of your hard drive.
    Just open a Finder window, select Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type /. Then, move "Previous System" to Trash and empty Trash

  • Re: Is Satellite L300D provided with recovery disk?

    Hi,
    I do not get a recovery disk when I bought my Satellite L300D.
    Does anyone know If Satellite L300D is provided with recovery disk?
    As far as i know computers manufactured from mid 2007 are no longer provided with recovery disks for the operating system. How do I know what year my satellite is manufactured?
    Many thanks

    All new notebook models including your one are delivered without recovery DVD.
    Recovery image is saved on second partition in folder called HDDRecovery.
    Akuma is right. You must create recovery media using preinstalled "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator". The shortcut you can find on the desktop. Please do this and for recovery media creation I recommend you to use high quality DVD-R media like TDK or Verbatim.
    You can install OS using F8 button at start up. The guideline how to do this you can find under http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
    Please note. This can be done if this recovery image is not modified or if you install other operating system on first partition. the second partition can be in original state but this F8 option will be gone.
    If you have more questions please let me know.

  • [SOLVED] Black screen after disk check 3.13.8-1 upgrade

    EDIT: fixed adding nomodeset to /etc/default/grub
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet nomodeset"
    When upgrading to anything > 3.13.8 the screen works normally untill the disk check message then the screen flickers with the disk check message at the top for a few seconds then goes blank. I can then blind restart the system. Downgrading to 3.13.8-1 and problem goes away.

  • Read files starting with TEST* (for example)

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to read all the files starting with TEST for example from the Unix folder.
    Requirement is there will be files starting with TEST present in the default path x.
    I need to read all the files starting with TEST from this path. So, basically in the selection screen, can I put the default filename as TEST*.
    All these files will have POs(Purchase Orders) which the program needs to update accordingly.
    Please assist.
    Thanks and regards,

  • Hard drive failure (why can't I start up with boot disk)?

    Running OS 10.4.6. I was getting flashing question mark at startup. Tried starting with Disk Warrior holding down "C" key. Got Apple logo, but then screen frooze with horizontal lines across screen.
    Rebooted, held mouse to eject disk. Tried TechTool Pro disk. Would not boot from that either (got circle with slash logo I think).
    Finally was able to boot with Tiger install disk.
    Ran disk utility from Tiger disk. My internal hard drive showed up in red letters and said "failing"
    OK.....I can understand that.....I guess my hard drive crashed (on my 2 year old Powerbook...oh well)
    But, why can't I start up with any of my boot disks (Disk Warrior, TechTool) only the Tiger install disk. Also the Panther and Jaguar disks will NOT start it...only the Tiger disk works. One more thing I'm wondering....I connected my external firewire drive that has a boot partition on it that I have started up with in the past....and it won't boot my laptop either.
    Any ideas? Thanks for any insight. Guess I'll head to the genius bar tomorrow. At least my extended warranty is still good (I think).
    Powerbook G4 17 1.5 ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Here is what the outcome was:
    I took my Powerbook into Apple Genius bar (still under 3 yr. AppleCare), he determined that my hard drive had crashed. He shipped it for me to be repaired.
    It came back with a message attached saying that the source of the problem was my 3rd party RAM, which was a 1 GB module. The note said that the memory had been removed...and that in some cases like this the removed memory will be sent back to the customer and will be in the box somewhere. I checked and it wasn't there. The "Get Info" for my system said I was now running on 512 mb instead of the usual 1.5 GB. The note said that this 3rd party RAM had caused the hard drive to fail, so the hard drive had been replaced.
    I ordered a new 1GB RAM module from Apple for $300, didn't want to take a chance on 3rd party again. But....when it arrived, I went to install it....and my 1GB 3rd party module was in the slot....it just wasn't pushed all the way in I guess. I pushed it in firmly, closed up the computer, started it, and the "Info" read 1.5 GB again. I ended up removing the 512mb module and replacing that with the new 1GB one I bought from Apple. So now I have 2GB of memory and and extra 512 that I can't use. It has been running fine ever since (more than 2 months)
    Can bad RAM really make a hard drive go bad?
    I wonder why they said they had removed the RAM, but it actually had not been removed (at least not completely)

  • I recently upgraded to Lion, and immediately started having consistent problems with Open Office 12 (would hang, and need a Force quit to recover). Has anybody else seen these problems? Any solutions other than going back to Snow Leopard? (I did).

    I recently upgraded to Lion, and immediately started having consistent problems with Open Office 12 (would hang, and need a Force quit to recover). Has anybody else seen these problems? Any solutions other than going back to Snow Leopard? (I did). But I'd like to use iCloud with iPad.

    Hi Pete. The repair of disk permissions can help resolve  any application crashing or misbehaving.
    As for Lion and the two camps, I think that is a reasonable observation. In my office we have about a dozen Mac's and about one third of those Mac's had problems after updating from 10.6 to 10.7. The main problem for these Mac's was a loss of wifi stability. But for the other two-thirds, Lion was a smooth transition.
    Personally, my Lion experience was fine. But I did get a new i7 MacBook Pro with Lion already installed and only had to migrate my user data from a 10.6.8 TM backup.
    So I think that is a key for Lion's operational success. A clean install of Lion on a new Mac would not cause too many operational issues. But an installation, or more correctly, an update to Lion from SL increased the chances of failure for some users - especially when old software & plugins resided on the Mac. And I would say that they were the people that you saw at the Apple store.
    As for the "latest release of Lion fixed my problems" statement, my experience with these and other forums is that people mostly only go there to complain about the problems they are having. If they are having no problems then they either keep it to themselves or they try to help the users who are experiencing trouble...
