bad hard drive

My touchsmart 600-1120 has a SMART test failed. Since hard disk failure is eminent, I'll replace it. Can I use the same hard drive that came with the computer or should I switch to a current model? I want to be sure, that it will not work.

Hello

1 TB at 7200 RPM (or even 2 TB, do not try on this) is a good option. You can use SATA II or SATA III HDD same your machine does not turn speed SATA III. The connectors are identical.

Kind regards.

    You download the version installed on your HP, burn a dvd using ISO, software, the burning at the slowest speed, on quality discs, then install it using the Win Key on the label on your PC.

    You will then need to install specific drivers of HP, not of the preinstalled HP software will be at your disposal

  • HPE-390 t: bad hard drive

    I have a desktop computer that the hard drive is bad.  The bad is 1.5 GB.  I do not have the recovery discs and I was wondering what I need to order another 1.5 gig disc if I indeed get the DVD recovery or can I go with a 1 GB?

    I have a windows 7 DVD House and can load windows with using the product on the case id numbers if I had to.  It would be probably better if I didn't have the recovery discs because the drivers to load.  I intend never upgrade to windows 10 I like 7 much better.

    I have upgraded to windows 10 a few months ago, but now it went with the player headed south.   I found a 1 GB for $50 with free shipping and it's one I'd like to buy, but not sure the recovery DVD would work if I use a hard drive that is smaller than the original. Thanks for any help on this. Tom

    This is a company that several members have used to buy the recovery media.  Try them to see what is happening.  They were for much older than the one you are working on computers.

  • Charge of $621,78 for the bad hard drive

    Hi all

    I know that this is not a question of remedy, but it should be expressed somewhere I found that I was charged for a Fujitsu 250 GB SATA HDD $621,78. Exact same drive price on ebay is $ 68. The party is certainly my fault. It was a warranty repair that turned bad. I put the old hard drive in the corner, and I forgot to return it. Warning e-mails of an imminent load was not read because of anti-spam filters. My fault. However, there is no way anyone can claim that a hard drive is worth anywhere near that amount. The laptop (a dv6700) was around $ 800! I called customer service and said that it can not be repaid, even if I have to return the defective part. I am currently waiting on a call while my case was refitted. I want just opinion of the public on this, and perhaps an HP employee who can actually do something about it will be advice. The spare part # the disk hard is 453775-001. Come on HP!

    Frustrated,

    -Corey Hansen

    Gee... Thanks for the helpful reply. I already know it's my fault. The point is, I can't expect to pay that kind of money for a hard drive.

    In any case, I'm happy to say that my money will be repaid. I got on the phone with them yesterday and they sent me directly to their row escalated. Apparently, the guy who helped me before in fact did nothing. All I have to do is send in the old part. Done and done.

    At least we know there are a couple of sane people that work the lines of HP service. Just pray you get one when you call.

  • New XPS 8700 has Windows 8 loaded on the bad hard drive

    I just got a Dell XPS8700 SE with a 256 GB SSD and 2 TB Hard Drive.

    I got the 256 GB SSD to run all my programs and also to have windows load quickly to the SSD.

    I was under the impression that Windows 8 would be responsible to the SSD.

    Is this a mistake? Someone load Windows hard disk bad?

    Is it possible to load Windows on the SSD as I want and make the SSD my C drive and open the disc of 2 TB for my files?

    Thank you

    Ken

    I called Dell Support and the gentleman helped me to get Windows on the SSD and it seems that I am good to go.

    He has been a great help and walked me through the process.

    Thanks :)

  • Dimension E310 with RAID controller bad hard drive or bad

    I have an E310 with DataSafe (two disks Seagate 160 GB in RAID 1).  The other day, the RAID software reported a failed drive.  Left as is one night or more.  The next morning, the machine has rebooted with no hard drive found.  The stop for the rest of the day.  That night that he started Windows, software RAID said two discs have been very well and tried to rebuild the mirror.  Suspended kept Windows and blue screening. From one of the drives and rebooted.  Now running a week on a single disc without any problems.  So, I lucky and pull the bad drive which can't seem to see the software RAID is bad?  Or the software RAID controller might be malfunctioning and having only a drive he will not RAID so no problems?  Don't want to waste money on replacement disks if the controller is the problem.  Would appreciate suggestions on how best to diagnose.


  • How to set up the new HP laptop with the bad hard drive notebook

    Children a new Hp laptop in June.  The hard drive has been getting gradually stronger and is obviously about to go, with a blue error screen forcing a roll back of the computer.  I did a full backup on an external hard drive and I'm back for a replacement.  Should I make a recovery disk and reinstall from the disc when I get the new laptop, or should I just plug the external hard drive and transfer files via?  A guy at work said using the recovery disk is the way to go, because it would be to reinstall Norton and other programs, we have installed., but I thought that backup external hard drive was supposed to be the way to do this

    Because you have found a replacement of mobile complete, it will be installed on the 'old' came with.

    If you have installed a new programs, games etc_then Yes restore the Image would be the best way to get back it quickly. This would assume that the replacement is the same model or very similar from a Image Restore the drivers also which should match the material of the machine.

  • HP Pavilion 14-b017cl: follow-up on creating and using the USB key recovery to win 8 after replacing the bad hard drive

    I have 2 hp pavillion sleekbook model 14-b017cl'. I replaced the hard drive in my son after that she doesn't have the "optimized hard drive dst test '. I used my sleekbook work to create a USB stick recovery. I followed the instructions to use the recovery to Win 8 usb drive. When I started the laptop of my son, with the USB stick inserted, I got this message.

    PXE - m0f: exit pxe rom

    no bootable device-insert bootdisk and press a key

    Flash player Flash when I put under tension. I rebooted, you press F2, conducted an audit on the new hard drive, happened.

    Later, I inserted the recovery key in my laptop (that I used to create it) and it would not initialize to top. I checked the content to the flash drive and they seemed "Chargers", so it seems to be what I expected. It seems that the recovery USB STICK will not work if my own laptop dies. What I have to buy the HP flash drive, or I'm doing something wrong.

    Hi @gretschman7,

    Thank you for your query.

    I understand you are trying to perform a recovery from a USB flash drive, but you get the error "pxe - m0f: exit pxe rom.

    "no bootable device-insert bootdisk and press any".  You check the recovery media on your laptop as it is the same model and it seems fine.

    Looks like you may need to change the boot sequence. Here is a link to HP - performing a recovery system (Windows 8) HP computers that will help you.   Here is a link to a YouTube video which can also help:.  Performing a recovery of HP system on a laptop HP with Windows 8.

  • Bad hard drive or simply noisy

    OK, so my hard drive started to make sounds ringing about 1 week ago. Recently, about 2 days, it is whenever I put my PC to sleep and then wake it upward, the hard drive starts to make knocking sounds, freezes and I get a blue screen. Then the PC restarts, it also takes more time to start and the hard drive continues to make the sounds hitting until the windows is loaded.

    Im not sure if it's the hard drive or something, I ran the diagnostic test of the HP hardware on the drive and everything seems fine.

    I posted a picture of the exact error code.

    IM thinking that it might be something with the system files, so I could do a factory restore and see if that helps, any comment is very appreciated

    Hello

    I suggest to install an application called CrystalDiskInfo. This will tell if the hard drive will fail, no matter what file system on it.

  • bad hard drive for the m6-1105dx

    Hello

    I recently acquired a desire m6-1105dx, that was wonderful, but there is one thing I am very furesterated with it is that the hard drive that he said would come with that, was 750 GB. Well, I have only 672 so I'm misssing 78 GB which is close enough to lack a set 100 gb I don't really find who either acceptable, I know that hard drives usually (or always) are not exactly the amount but I think lossing only storage type cheat me of what I paid for... I noticed only today when they told me my hard drive was full (for some reason, I never checked it once I received it guess I shouldn't just assume I get what I pay more) now I can't even support for this issue because my warranty is up... I feel a bit like it's FRAUD. Sorry I have no need to get out the word, but I feel really cheated I used laptop computers HP for 10-12 years now and never had no problem, I had probably 5 laptop computers HP although I never had no problem getting support from them then. I once spilled a drink on my keyboard. I called them to tell them and see if I could order a new but before I even had a chance to ask how the keyboard was etc etc... they offerened send me a new expedition and all FREE. HP PLEASE help me understand this point before I get really disappointed... and not to toot my own horn, but you don't want to see me I had thousands of clients and members of the family I know with certainty of the employee would be willing to boycott because of something as stupid as this. I swear it's like trying to break into fort knox, just trying to find a way to get help because my warranty is expired, they said I would have to pay for a support call... and gave me no option to use the chat or e-mail, so this is my last hope, post a message here... Thanks for your time everybody and I'm sorry if I offened anyone that I know, most of the people running things like that have very littl e access for comfortable people correcctly. Once again

    Hello

    You can check the WHOLE hard drive? Your duty to account

    (a) recovery partition,

    (b) HP_TOOLs partition,

    (c) and inportantly 750 GB is NOT 750 GB, it's only 750,000,000,000 bytes. They use decimal and Windows uses the number of the HEXAGON.

    For example, the following HDD RAW is an a HARD drive TB. You can yourself using the SPELL of training the number:

  • I HAVE A PAVILION DV7-1245DX WITH A BAD HARD DRIVE

    THE HARD DISK GOES WRONG IN MY COMPUTER I HAVE A NEW HARD DRIVE AND PUT IT IN THE DRIVE BAY HARD #2 CAN TRANSFER ALL THE STUFF FROM THE OLD HARD DRIVE TO THE NEW IN MY COMPUTER. Thank you

    If windows does not start, it will be more difficult to transfer files, windows still starts?

    If windows starts again, install Easeus Todo backup Free edition and 'clone' the old hard drive to the new, once this is done put the new drive cloned in Bay 1, it should now boot windows on the new drive. No need to transfer files if it works.

  • Re-installed Windows 7 Home Premium, because I had the bad hard drive.

    Well, I didn't not on jelly bean or checking registry before you have the hard drive replaced. My windows product key is on bottom of laptop, but after a few wear some letters are hard to distinguish. Any ideas on what I can do to recover the key. I probably have more than 90% of the letters. There are only 3 letters I can't make out more substiuting I tried the letters that are used with the key. Please tell me that there is something.

    Hello

    In these Forums, it is often recommended to use a magnifying glass and a flashlight to see if you can read the numbers of the product key on the label.

    Or as one poster suggested, take a photo and enlarge.

    You can contact the manufacturer of your laptop, if the operating system has been pre-installed and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks and to reinstall the operating system.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    The relocation method above does not normally allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.

    See you soon.

  • My Dell Inspiron 1545 has updated Windows 7 SP1 (KB2310138) and now it says I have a bad hard drive. What should I do?

    I have dealt with this for three days.
    I do not have a restore point.
    I have no Image Recovery
    I can't print the instructions.
    I can't save anything.
    I press the Start button and it takes 5 minutes to respond.
    I borrowed this computer from my college so I know...

    WHAT CAN I DO?

    Please help me

    Any update has nothing to do with a failure of the drive.

    If you are able to copy all the data to the external (a single copy will do) do so NOW! Also key for the software you have purchased.

    Your dell should have a diagnostic utility that you access by pressing a specific key as soon as you turn on.

    I hope that you have created the system recovery disks when you got your system, otherwise you will need to contact Dell for their.

    You need to replace your hard drive, no doubt there will be a person knowledgible at your college to help if you do not know how you
