I got X51L and my hdd stopped working , so I bought new one SATA: PM Toshiba MK1665GSX. Sometimes when i turn on my laptop, it doesnt detect my hard disk.. after few restarts it recognize the hard disk but when loading Windows it stoppes and says it needs repair. First I tried with Windows 7, after the instalation it works but when I restart/shut down, it cant load again. The repair starts but can not find any errors and shuts it down. I thought that it has something to do with my OS, so I format and instaled XP.. Same happened.. It worked after the instalarion but when I shut it down and turn it off - in the begining of Windows loading it says "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \Windows\System32\Config\System. Please help me , how to fix it ?
Hi, Try taking the new hard drive out and put it back in to reseat the drive. If there is a place for a screw to secure the drive in place, definitely put it in, in case the drive is sliding out of the socket. If the errors persist, check in the BIOS to see if it is recognizing your hard drive or if it says it is an unknown device. If it is not recognizing the hard drive in the BIOS, I would lean toward this new hard drive being bad as well. It can happen that you get a bad hard drive when buying new. Especially since you have tried doing 2 fresh installs with different operating systems and are getting missing files or corrupted files. It tells me that those files were written to a possibly bad sector on the hard drive so now they cannot be read. You can also try the diagnostic tool from toshiba to see if it can find errors on your hard drive. Since you cannot load windows, you will need to try the Dos version found on this website http://storage.toshiba.com/main.aspx?Path=ServicesSupport/WarrantySupport/SoftwareUtilities
