Hitachi travelstar 750g shuts down suddenly

I was running this drive as a boot drive but after a short time the laptop would start shutting down suddenly. I removed the drive and put the old one back in and formatted the travelstar to run as a second drive in the laptop. Everything was fine for about a week and today it started shutting down suddenly

SOURCE: Drive Being Recognized as Removable Disk

Same issue with my 500 GB TFD500U16. A little more description is that my PC is detecting the power when turning on the drive and the HDD itself is spinning up. Also the Blue light that normally indicates HDD activity by turning Red no longer shows activity but just stays Blue. This indicates that the data side of the HDD is not seated properly. Since mine is out of Warranty, I took it apart and found this to be the exact case.
! ! ! ! Please perform this at your own risk ! ! ! ! Especially if your warranty is still in effect! ! ! By loosening the HDD mounting screws inside that will allow the connection to seat properly and data to be seen.

SOURCE: I have a toshiba laptop

Start with a boot disk. run a scandisk to find any errors, then try using fdisk to reconfigure your partitions, enabling you to format. this has worked for me in the past with desktop pcs.

SOURCE: getting files off an old IBM TravelStar 20 GB Hard Drive

You can buy an adaptor that will connect your hard drive to a pc.
Ribbon cable from your secondary drive on pc goes into the adapator. Adaptor also coonects to laptop harddrive.
You also need to change from being a master driveto be a slave drive . see linkbelow.

You can then copy file to pc a usb memory stick.

SOURCE: oven won't heat and shuts down after approx. 20 seconds

If it stops after 22 seconds, that means the controller has detected a problem, usually a problem with the inverter or a bad magnetron.

Due to the lethal voltages used and produced in inverters, I do not recommend that an inexperienced person work on these.

I am attaching a link to a site that will explain how to get to a command prompt by using your boot disk. Once at the command prompt type: chkdsk /f /r and press enter. If it doesn't fix it the first time you can run it again. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/command-prompt-in-windows-recovery-environment

I want to upgrade the hard drive on my Advent 6001 laptop to a 250gb one. How do I then copy Windows onto the new hard drive as the laptop doesn`t recognise the CDROM as a boot device, not even in the

Running under the assumption that the CD is actually working, have you checked the BIOS settings to indicate that you want the CD to be the first boot device?

Alternatively, some if not most systems will accept an F12 during boot up to query the user where to boot from.

Try cleaning the dirt out of the fan and heat sink assembly, and make sure the fan is running. Your computer may be shutting down to protect itself from overheating.

My Toshiba M45 S151 does not show a HDD. It has a Hitachi Travelstar 60GB. I tried to run the restore disk that came with my unit but it only gives me a ''Wrong Machine'' alarm and shuts down.

If the HDD is not seen in BIOS and will not boot, odds are the hard drive has failed and will need to be replaced.
