Disk system hard disk error

Recently, I replaced my hardrive HP Desktop (which I bought recently at HP) and it is correctly placed and acknowledged as I could use the recovery CD to check the hard disk for errors. I had Windows Visa Home Premium on the old hard drive and try to replace it with Windows 7 (32 bit). Compatibility testing showed that I could upgrade the operating system. However, when I put in a new operating system I bought from a seller that sells at a discount (Windows 7 Professional 32 bit Branded); the computer will not recognize the DVD. I am booting from the optical drive, it appears as a blinking black screen monitor cursor. So my question is if there is a problem with the DVD as a bad DVD or is it a problem of compatibility. Should I just ordered HP recovery CD or isn't necessary when installing a new operating system?

The second question is how to open files (on an external drive) that I had copied that are now appearing as backup.1 and backup.2.fbw? Can I just not open on another computer by looking at the files and see which ones I want to restore?

Advice is appreciated.

I'll try this and let you know how it goes. I appreciate the help.

  • HP Pavilion dv6: System recoovery after replacing the HD because of the disk hard 301 error

    I have problems with the original of my HP Pavilion dv6 PC hard drive portable. I get an alert (SMART disk error 301) every time that I reboot, but I can still load my Windows 7.

    I just bought a new hard drive (SSD SATA3), but I would like to recover my original OS using my license key.

    How can I do? Should I create a partition on the new disk (D, copy the contents of my RECOVERY disc and use Esc + F11 after reboot?) Do I need a recovery CD/DVD? In this case, can I create one of my system?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Drive smart error 301 indicated fall drive hard/failed hard drives

    If you have recovery disks, no need for product key, insert the disc after replaced by the new fair SSD & insert the recovery disks to reinstall everything, including the recovery partition.

    You can also order HP recovery discs

    You must ensure that the size of the SSD is equal to or greater than the size of the previous HARD drive to perform successfully the recovery discs recovery.

    If you have not created recovery disks, you can create one - http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01867418

    Back up all your personal data now first.

    Since you have already replaced it & not showing is not available, the probability is for the connection by defective SATA cable or SATA controllers or motherboard itself.

  • Satellite C660 - 23 M Windows 7 hard disk error

    I've only had my laptop (Satellite C660 - 23M) for three months, I started to have problems with him about a week earlier, including a time Blue Screen of Death, but I got the computer Safe Mode and did a system restored and it has been fine since then. Then earlier today, I had a Windows hard drive error, telling me to back-up and then repair or replace the hard drive. The back-up goes on an external hard drive as we speak, so fingers crosssed I can't stand to lose all my data.

    I created a disk backup media when I got to the laptop but every time I tried with validation, it would fail, but in time, I don't think I should be so little time, just so created a non-validated copy and thought that would be nice (I'm now concerned!).

    Should I restore my hard drive? If so, how? What has caused this? And because it is only 3 months old, am I stuck with a laptop to duff who will continue to break down on me?

    Hello

    In your case, I would recommend to check the capacity of the HARD drive.
    This can be done using the freeware tool called disk HARD Drive Fitness Utility.
    I guess that this software can help detect HARD drive errors.

    If the HARD drive would be affected, then you need to replace the HARD drive.
    Here you will find a nice instruction how to do this:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/Ann.jspa?annID=138

    the laptop seems to be covered by the warranty, if the HARD drive can be replaced under term average conditions, this can be done free of charge
    I would recommend asking the ASP (partner in your country) for this HARD drive they could send you this HDD.

  • Portege 660CDT "non system disk error"!

    I just bought a used 660CDT and placed a new hard drive in it. Now, I can't load an OS due to this "Invalid System Disk" error. I tried to Boot on my XP Cd, but all the same. I tried to boot from a Disk Norton and nothing more... I have no idea what is wrong...
    I made sure the Bios is set to start first with the drive and not the HARD drive.
    I would use this system someday, but right now I don't see what is happening.
    If anyone can help I would like to thank very you much.

    Thank you
    Robert
    Houston, Texas

    Hi Robert

    AFAIK This oldie can treat only 1.3 GB HARD drive. How much capacity has a new HARD drive?
    Unfortunately, it is not easy to say what is the problem, because who knows what you do exactly and what operating system you want to use. Just for info. This old Portege comes with Windows 95 and you should try to use the same operating system.

    "Invalid system disk error means that Windows Setup could not copy the system files on the hard drive.

    Also, check the download page for Toshiba under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU and under archive, you will find some useful stuff for this old book.

    Good luck!

    Hello

    Your HARD drive is perhaps a pity
    Can you see that the drive listed in the BIOS?
    Are you able to reinstall the OS?

    You should first check this.
    You could also test the HARD drive by using the drive fitness test tool:
    http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm

    This will check the disk on some points.

    But if the HARD disk is damage need you a new!

  • Portege R600 built-in HARD disk error

    My Portege R600 works very well until today when he came with the built-in "Disk error" message when I turned on it. He then lists the following:

    Intel Boot Agent GE v1.3.24

    PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
    PXE - MOF: exit Intel Boot Agent.
    Insert system disk in drive.
    Press any key when ready...

    I'm leaving on a trip to South America and do not have access to the system disks.

    Can someone help with this problem?

    Hello

    If you get an error of HARD drive and after that the message PXE boot, it seems that your internal HARD drive is not recognized more...

    Have you already checked the BIOS if the HARD drive is it recognized?
    Otherwise I think you need to replace the HARD drive :(

    Now what should I do?

    Please advice me a good way to solve this problem.

    Hello

    Your laptop is listed as coming with a 750 GB hard drive - the drive on the following link is an example that would be perfect for your laptop.

    750 GB hard drive.

    The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 104 of your maintenance & Service Guide.

    Once this is done, simply use your recovery DVD to reinstall the original operating system (Windows 8.1) on the new drive and then upgrade to Windows 10 once again.

    A better option, as long as the previous installation of Windows 10 had activated Ok after the original 8.1 upgrade, would be to simply perform a new installation of Windows 10 as detailed in the guide on the following link.  Note: On the activation screen, select "I don't have a product key" - Windows will activate automatically once installation is complete.

  • SMART hard disk error after replacing HD

    Hello!

    I SO hope that this someboidy is able to help me.

    I'm NOT a novice but I am confused.

    I replaced with the same model HD HD CQ58 provided with COMPAQ because the old HD was shot - how it happened escapes me.

    Anyhoo, after screwing a new HD I wanted to put OS on it, but I get the following error just after pressing set button / stop:

    I tried the LINK, it does not exist.

    I also went in the Boot Options in the BIOS to boot from a USB and put the USB HD in the first place.

    When I restart it does not recognize a USB key. I tried Windows 8 and UBUNTU which ususally works on all the machines I've fixed so far.

    No chance whatsoever.

    As I mentioned earlier:

    I'm puzzled.

    I have no recovery CD and cannot make one because I'm not running Win8 on any of my PC.

    Thus, any suggestions?

    Help, please

    Thanks in advance

    Henry of Kai

    First of all:

    Thank you all very much for taking the time and you answer!

    And now, for what happened after I did all what has been proposed:

    Nothing.

    The message remained the same.

    Still no hard drive (even if it was new)

    Then I took a hard drive to work with Win7 on it from another machine, put it in the Compaq and... nothing.

    I tried the USB with Win8 (NTFS with Rufus) does not.

    I don't know why, I tried again, but when I used the same USB with UBUNTU Live - 14.04. on that I had taken or tried before... He recognized at startup.

    Weird hard drive wiped completely since it was not recognized by the BIOS (one with Win7 on it... data paths but I had backup ).

    So, now I'm running the faithful Tahr on the Compaq and it works fine.

    I will try to put the original Win8 on it, but the system doesn't seem like more since USB NTFS NTFS are not recongised at startup.

    Well Anyhoo, I got the machine to work.

    Would have been nice to know what was wrong with him to solve future problems, but at least I had to register in this forum

    So I could bore you guys with questions in the future.

    Take care

  • I can't export the registry, I get an error writing the file., it is said, "there may be a disk error or system files" what can I do?

    I kept getting an error of my Norton internet security. When I call there suport tech, they made me do somethings, but nohong has worked. Then they wanted me to try to export the registry. When I wnt in regedit to export it.  He said that there was an error writing the file, there may be a disk or FFL system error.

    Assuming that there really may be a disk or file system error, try to perform a 'chkdsk' on your hard drive.  Use the /R if running chkdsk or check both options if you use the GUI version.

      <>5 http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/31526>

    Be forewarned that control the boot volume occurs at the next reboot after you set up, it runs before Windows starts perfectly, cannot be interrupted and can take more than a few hours to run according to the size of the disk and the amount of corruption, as appropriate.  Run it when you won't need your machine for awhile.

  • SMART Hard Disk Error - replace hard disk?

    A couple of days, I got an error when I start my computer (HP Pavilion dv6-6071eo), saying "SMART hard disk error" followed by a message telling me that SMART disk check has detected and imminent failure. He told me to my backup files, and then press F2 and do a hard drive test. On the last row, it displays "Hard Disk 1 (301).

    I tried to run the hard drive test, which does not instantly. I also ran the BIOS hard drive test. It meets the short test without problem and then stopped quite some time after the long trial began with the error "Disk Hard 1 full 305. My computer has also been slow over the last week.

    From what I've read so far, it seems that I need to replace my hard drive. Is this correct? If so, it would be a suitable replacement (functional): http://www.dustinhome.se/product/5010151237/western-digital-black-2-5-320gb-7200rpm-sata-300-16mb/#i.... Also, would it not interesting (and possible) upgrade to an SSD for reduction of noise and heat, which is a problem with this laptop (and several other portable simular at HP) compared to other laptops.

    In addition, it might be good to mention that my warranty has expired.

    Have you checked to see if there is a free space left on the hard drive? A complete hard drive will make the system work very slowly and it may also keep the system working properly if it is fairly comprehensive. The fact that you take the short test means that there is nothing major to mechanically wrong with the drive. Just right-click on the icon for the main C:\ drive likely "computer: and select 'Properties'.» If the disc is not actually full, then I suggest to replace. If you can afford a SSD, Yes, there is no doubt that is the way to go. There is nothing wrong on one ssd, other than an occasional fight to install it. I have been using SSD for awhile and I had installation problems we often see reported here, but do not be discouraged, we are here to help.
