BioHD-8 error code a smart test failed on the drive

I am running vista Home premium that came pre-installed (so I don't have a disc) on a hp pavilion slimline S3500f

I had a problem when windows wouldn't load, just kept freezing and restarting a couple of times before it load.

I was recommended to change my graphics card, which I did and windows starts to load and then arrested again.

Then I got a blue screen Uni, when I ran a diagnostic test, I got an error code BioHD-8 a smart test failed on the drive

I have Norton anti-virus installed on the pc

I would really appreciate your help on this, thanks in advance

  • PC Doctor BIOHD-2 error code

    HP Pavilion FK484AV-ABA, model m4900t running windows 7 64 bit. The RAID-1 configuration.

    PC crashed. Cannot restart. Starting cold, received error message failure of RAID-1 and two hard drives. PC-Doctor ran and received the following diagnoses:

    Processor, memory, drives hard all OK.

    Diagnosis of startup path

    Error code: BIOHD-2

    ATTENTION: No disk is detected.

    Suggestion: Turn off the system and check the drive cables are attached firmly.

    Given that the PC-Doctor verified that both drives are OK, I'm assuming that the cables were also OK. Any suggestions on what may be the problem?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Go into the BIOS to see if the discs are recognized. Post your results here.

    This is an unusual condition for PC Doktor to report. Normally a BIOHD-2 error code means that a hard drive has failed, but I have no doubt that both drives failed at the same time.

    I read a few posts saying that the disc is bad, some say a motherboard, some say that the driver update.

    Any help appreciated to get this unit up and running to back up my files on the desktop!

    Thank you, Marty

    FYI and this can help other institutions; I went to a technical support at Staples for options.

    They checked the unit possibility of recovering files to the user free of charge.

    The Tech pulled the side cover, something plugged in and all my files reappeared on his monitor.

    Make a complete copy of all the files is $69.99 (on their records or to your external drive, takes a few days).

    I opted for the copy of all the files and they will check the disk drive in the process.

    In the meantime, I'll check your video instructions that you so graciously provided.

  • BIOHD-7 error code

    After reading some of the forums on this error code, I think I'll have to buy a new hard drive. I was hoping that if I got the HP recovery kit I was able to fix mine. I also got a 0xef0003 error code. I tried to use the built in recovey but no luck. now all I have is a black screen that says no bootable disk. so I is a 2 part question.

    1. If I buy a new hard drive will it take the recovery kit HP offers? I have no disk backup.

    2 and I can up grade hard drive? say a 1 to maybe 2 with to make any other update to the computer?

    Hello:

    In my view, there is nothing you can do to repair the drive except to replace it.

    You can run the checkdisk utility and check both boxes.

    • I am running Windows 7 for packs SP 1 or SP 2 does NOT solve my problem since neither one works with Windows 7.  Is there a way to search for this MUI (Multiple User Interface) missing file? The every thing must have himself installed in the first place. I took my mom (she died in June) and my brother on this PC as users so even if they do not use this PC supports multiple users. Maybe if I deleted as a reboot and additional users it will solve my problems. My updates install OK but I can't run at all system restore. It creates a restoration point OK but when I try to sr back to a restore point before I get the error 0x80073AFC topic of the missing MUI file. Then, when I spear SR it is said that he could not and no files have been changed because of the error 0x8000FFFF error, unspecified catastrophic failure and could not retrieve the file several times when system restore is attempted.

      I'm running Windows 7 on a HP Pavilion with browser Firefox 3.6.8 browser Opera 10.60, IE8 and Google Chrome 5.0.375.125 browser browser.

      Can you tell me what I try next? Thnks a lot and sayonara for now the guy-Jack McElwee / keimanzero the Scion of the Anime in Brookhaven PA - USA

      OK I tried everything and nothing works! Only added beginners are updated browser Opera 10.63; IE9 (Beta); Firefox 3.6.12 and Google Chrome 7.0.517.41 and Java 22. Of course like everyone else in the world, I had to uninstall/enable and disable/download again and reinstall new Adobe Flash 10 and 11 of the shock wave and they keep crashing too! Hello 4 keep screwing browsers and now I get connection network problems. I run Comcast doctor and did everything it said to do, but nothing works. Oh and I added 7-Zip and WinZip also. Likewise, they will not work! Help! Thanks - K & K

    keimanzero,

    Comcast of Norton Security Suite version is installed? If Yes, who and perhaps malware is most likely to cause questions you have published, in particular the failure of the restoration of the system.
    First, configure the system to boot - How to solve a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    NOTE: Start-up mode minimum state all the 3rd party firewalls will be disabled. Open Control Panel > Windows Firewall to make sure that the native firewall of Windows 7 is now on.

    Download and Save the update system (or CheckSUR) tool. You will need to download the specific Version of CheckSUR corresponding to the architecture of the system to Windows 7. If you do not know the architecture of the system, and then click the link that says "Click here to show or hide the instructions step by step with images" under method 2: download the update directly system preparation tool from Microsoft Download Center .
    Description of the preparation tool system update for Windows Vista for Windows Server 2008, for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2

    Once the download is complete, close all open programs and browsers. Now, run CheckSUR with the system connected to the internet because it will download the .cab for system files. Reboot once CheckSUR is complete.

    Secondly, I suggest that you run the File Checker system while in the same clean boot state.
    To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start and type cmd in the field search programs and files .
    2. Right click on cmd.exe in the programs of list, and then choose 'run as administrator '.
      If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
    3. At the command prompt, enter the following line exactly as written including the space between thec and the/and then press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

    When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problems facing the system have been resolved.

    If they are not, you will need to contact Norton support for the version of Norton Internet Security Comcast to get help, or just uninstall NIS, run the Norton removal tool (right click Norton_Removal_Tool.exe, choose "Run as Administrator"), reboot and then check to see if the problems are still occurring.
