• M6 Notebook Hard Drive Problems

  Hello

  I have a m6-1045dx Pavilion Notebook, processor i5, 8 GB RAM, 750 GB hard drive @5400 RPM, Windows 8 (upgrade from Win7).

  I worked on creating a partition on my hard drive dual-boot Windows and Ubuntu.  In doing so, I found that my hard drive had to be verified by chkdsk.  After trying this and portable computer lock-down, I ran the UEFI component tests and found that the short DST Test failed while the successful optimized DST Test.  What does that mean? Should I try to replace my hard drive, or is there a solution to this problem?

  Thank you in advance!

  Hi pshuff
  
  Failure of the short test (DST) disk Self would indicate the hard drive is faulty and must be replaced. If you can still access Windows, I would backup all my personal files etc as soon as possible.
  
  If your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP directly with the id of the failure of 24 digits, having the replaced disk.
  
  Thank you

• Qosmio F60 turning is not on - HARD drive problem

  My F60 running stock windows 7 and when I turn it on I get a black screen with the following text:

  + the type of file system is NTFS.
  + Volume name is s3a5802d002 +.
  + One of your disks needs to be checked for conisitency. +
  + You can cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended that you continue.
  + To skip verification of the disc, press any key within 10 seconds.

  If I leave it just like that.
  I try to ignore it, and it does not work so I turn it off and go again on the third time, to turn on while I press ESC. What should I do about it?

  Re: do everything or send it as it is only 6 months old, it is Bernard did this for 5 months

  Hello

  It sounds a bit like a HARD drive problem.
  I recommend checking out the HARD drive using a free tool called Drive Fitness Test
  This free tool allows you to get more details on the State of the HARD drive and maybe some error would be detected which would mean that HARD drive failures and disk HARD must be replaced.

• Alternative to the reset by Satellite A660 for potential HARD drive problem

  In the last week or two, I got a few blue screens, saying he was driving demand, and that windows must be shut down to avoid damage my computer.

  I have just restart and continue working.
  The last time it happened, I had repeatedly "initialization failed" and it says hdd, SDS, fdd. If I pressed the power button until I didn't see no signs of activity, then started. Things went well. I called Toshiba support and they recommended that I go home and save my files before continuing. It took hours selectively to clean, sort the previous backups, and a small footprint of the backup system.

  When I called Toshiba once again, they recommended a "takeover", which is restoring the factory settings. It puts me in the stone age. I have to go through a never-ending process of the upgrade to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, install and reconfigure all the applications and environments/configurations, etc. It will essentially take on holiday, if not more. I'll also have to get another computer (maybe a netbook) to stay in touch while I restart my laptop. It's barely more than a year.

  Is there a diagnosis I can do to determine the probability that there is a hard drive problem? Support for Toshiba said that is the surest way, because it provides a diagnostic F10 for the hard disk code, and it also pushes the bad sectors at the end of the disc (logically, I suppose, since you can't physically move a fault).

  > About Hitachi DFT, is it important that my HARD drive is Toshiba mk6465gsx? This is what is displayed "Hard drives" in the Device Manager.

  It s no matter what HARD drive manufacturer, it is the Drive Fitness Test is able to scan all hard drives to find errors.

  > Also, http://www.hitachigst.com/support/downloads/#DFTshows links to create boot disks, but I was wondering if I could create a bootable instead.

  Not sure if this is possible if there is that one option to create a startup disk, and then a flash stick does not work. But of course you can try this out.

  > This laptop does not come with a floppy drive, and I still create coasters trying to burn discs.
  You don't need the floppy drive, the tool must create a disk bootable (CD)

  > I guess that the same question can be asked on Memtest86. Another issue is the relevance of Memtest86 for my system. My c drive has a "Program Files" folder, but also a "Program Files (x 86)" folder for 32-bit applications. Memtest86 is for the x 86 architecture. I don't know if my 64-bit Windows 7 involves a non - x 86 architecture.

  I guess that Memtest86 should also work on Win 7 64 bit systems. But also the MemTest 4.20 is 64-bit capable

• This hard drive is compatible with my laptop? Apple 80 GB HDD 3.5 SATA for my Compaq CQ62, the hard drive that I have for that one is a "WD 500 GB 2.5 SATA II.

  I plan to buy an Apple 80 GB hard disk 3.5 SATA for my Compaq CQ62, the hard drive that I have for you is a "WD 500 GB 2.5 SATA II.

  Ports appear as it will keep and everything, but I'm curious to know, if I get this drive, I'll be able to install my Macintosh on that hard drive and use it on my laptop Compaq CQ62 or not?
  If this isn't the case, then I'll be able to install Windows 7 or uBuntu on this hard drive? The hard drive will fit even on my laptop? Thank you!

  Why you want to replace a 500 GB with a 80 GB drive it?

• HP 625 notebook computer with Win7 32 bit operating system lock up possible (?) HARD drive problem

  Well, all this happened a few days.  When you use my laptop that it completely locked up, after that I have with power off by holding the power button. After that I turned it on it would not start and I got this error message:

  Non system disk or disk error

  Replace and strike any key when ready

  After that I vigorously turned off my laptop and turned it back as I did in the above method and Windows starts without any problem whatsoever. I then ran a test HARD drive and there is no problem, so I just kept using my laptop, but the same thing with the lock upward and initialize the problem persisted and whenever I ran HDD test it came out without any problem. At the present time the lock ups happens to such frequency it does using the laptop quite impossible.

  "Application and driver Recovery DVD" are not a (hardware) boot media, you need an operating system to be installed first.

  OS install first, after that the drivers and applications.

• Compaq 8510w: replacement HARD drive models?

  Hello

  I have a laptop Compaq 8510w (KE186EA; s/n CNU812285Y) with 200 MB of HARD drive installed. It is a Seagate ST9200420AS ('Momentus' family).

  Yesterday, the CHKDSK utility found some bad sectors, so I want to replace the HARD drive. This Seagate model is no longer sold. What other HARD drive models are fully compatible with my laptop? My laptop has the peculiarity of "HP Drive Guard" who takes care of my HARD drive in the case of a shock, I wonder if this feature requires a 'special' model of the disk HARD must be installed.

  I searched the web site of Seagate and other Momentus drives are listed there, but I'm not sure that they will fit my laptop; for example, none of them does support "shock protection" (or this function Seagate has nothing in common with HP Drive guard?).

  UPD: and I also wonder if I can use an SSD, and if yes - what settings should it?

  -Generally shorter readers won't be a problem, since readers usually rise in a way where the screws and SATA connectors are located at the same locations despite the height of the car. Just be careful not to exceed the height of the OEM disk (i.e. some of the 1 TB + drives that were 12 mm of height not suitable)
  
  -SATA type is not important. SATA 3 Gb/s, SATA 6 Gbps or fastest readers will work fine, because their speed will be anyway limited by what the storage controller hardware supports.
  
  D ' a generally, capacity have no impact on the production of heat. The 8510w, as a workstation type system, is designed to use the commands of higher performance. Newer players tend to be more thrifty in energy which means less heat. You should have no problem of compatibility based on the ability for any player < 2 TB.
  
  Personally, I think that the benefits of the hybrid hard disks are largely overrated. If you want real performance boost, GB SSD - well worth the money, the performance difference is day and night from a physical disk more you don't have to worry about damage to the drive drops or movement.

• Compaq 5000 desktop hard drive mounting

  2014-03-16

  A few weeks ago, I unintentionally deleted hard drive of my Compaq 5000US Office of the chassis without recording sound

  original location.  Now, I am at a loss to know where to put them back in place as it looks as if there is no place for it inside the computer.  I'm familiiar with the locations of the floppy drive, drive of CD-ROM and two empty boxes of filling.  It's really confusing.  I'll be very grateful to anyone who can tell me how to make this hard drive.

  Julianloui

  {Problem solved]

  Even if I wish to withdraw my original question that I started too early, I think that my answer may still be useful to someone who needs to know where the HD is mounted despite its obvious location.  The HD is locked in a metal cage mounted vertically behind the bottom of the front cover of the computer.   You can not miss.

  I had not actually removed the HD but the mysterious presence of an HD 20 GB lying around the computer made me think that she belonged to the machine. I should have better because the 5000US came with a 30 GB hard drive.

• HP Pavilion Notebook Hard drive question and OS reinstall

  I have a HP Pavilion dv4-2155dx Entertainment Notebook PC, series: CND0053PFN.

  I recently received an error message of the INTELLIGENT notification that a failure of the hard drive was imminent (I also had a flat battery as well, thank YOU HP!). I backed up my files to an external hard drive to COMPUSA, bought a new hard drive and installed. I inserted one of my computer come with recovery disks (HP or Best Buy made so I can't make new ones if I wanted to). After a minute or two of hearing the reader has read that I received an error "No Bootable disc - insert boot disk and press any key." Tried several times more. Reorganize the BIOS settings to make the drive to read first, no help.

  I then came here, looked at a few other discussions. They were no help. (this is a as http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-e-g/no-bootable-Device-Insert-Boot-Disk-and-... I watched)

  I tried most of the things on this page, including download of the boot disk utility, but even after the creation of this disc, I still get the "No Bootable disc - insert the startup disk, and then press any key" error. I then put the old hard drive new, and played music CDs to ensure that my drive was reading. It did not work properly. He also burned a disc as well so I think it's OK.

  I tried to make an iso image to the new disk plugged hard upward with a USB connection and this is where I met another problem. My laptop said that there are only 98 GB available on the new drive connected by USB. It is a 250 GB drive.

  What can I do to get just my copy of Windows on the new drive, so I can use my laptop without fear of a hard drive failure in the middle of a test for the College or something like that?

  Thank you.

  Hello:

  I can't help with the problem of recovery disk, but if you can read the product key 25 character Microsoft Windows on the bottom of your PC, you can do your own installation of W7 (DVD or a flashdrive bootable) media.

  Here's how:

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

• iMac hard drive problem

  My older iMac 8.1 (Intel Core 2), running OS x 10.9 ran slow, then a few application icons disappears from the display, after a restart, the application has stopped working completely. I tried to reinstall OSX, when this does not work, I did a full erase and reinstall it again, still none of my apps does not work. It manifests itself, and when I click it, it does nothing. I even went back to my original OSX 10.6 Snow Leppard and reinstalled drive and my desktop icons appeared for a few minutes and then everthing disappeared. Also, this has happened during execution of 10.9 as well. Now the only thing that the computer be used to mail is electronic and Safari. I can't run programs and do not have access to HD. If I tried to re - install 10.9, it tells me that it is impossible at this time. I think that my HD is dead? You wanted to check before I replaced it. It starts well, can run internet but not impossible to install, download or run programs. Disk First aid indicates that the computer is fine. Can not really afford to buy a new Mac now, so hoping that this can be a cheaper alternative.

  How much free space on the hard drive?

  There is no 100% way to check the health of a hard disk. Disk utility check alone is doing a part-time job to check the directory structure but not physical integrity of the reader. If you select the top level of a drive in disk utility and then file > retrieves the information of to half way down you can see the report of the SMART State which can indicate if a drive is having problems.  With one of my discs that I checked that feature, but it was not picking up on several defective sectors systematically producing errors.

  The only real way to test a faulty hardware on a computer is to isolate the part (normally in the replacement, or do without it) and see if the issues go away.

  I always keep a clone bootable backup of my drive on a separate drive so I can still boot from the second disk to see if it's an internal drive error.  Having this type of backup is just a part of the ownership of a computer.

  I suppose there is also the possibility, it's another problem as the RAM.  A bad drive would be more consistent as to what elements show problems such as you see.

  You can check on sites like ifixit or OWC (macsales.com) for instructional videos on how to replace the disks.

• Internal hard drive problem

  I just hard drive of my laptop, replaced by a service center because it is still under warranty. They replaced my old hard drive with a HTS541040G9SA00 that when I search on the internet I discovered that is made by HITACHI, im wondering if it is safe to use this drive or is it compatible with my computer toshiba laptop and that i will not be a problem to use it. Thank you!!!

  If a service is to swap your disk that worry Don t, they must use original parts. So if your hard drive is not available, they had to use a spare part which is compatible, too.

  I had the same situation with my machine. I got a samsung player, then, after a headcrash I brought to a service partner and they exchanged the drive and put a toshiba in there. I asked them the same question you have posted and they said the same thing what I you said. ;)

  So I just give you a little information. :)
