• Pavilion 6610f desktop: HP Envy & WARNING: drive hard Imminent failure (please backup and replace immediately!)

  Recently, I had 2 different cats with HP Tech Reps in which they used their remote control programs to check on the problems that I had with my new HP Envy 5560 all-in-one.  The next day, at the start of my desktop PC, I got the warning message: "" imminent hard drive failure: if it please take a full backup and replace immediately. "" I did a scan from HP and it showed nothing wrong. There are no pop icons - up or whatever it is on my desktop screen to indicate a problem.  The hard Seagate I have is only 1 years and 89% free space left on it and there is no problem, other than being slow sometimes, before the cats remote and the PC warning.  I came to the forum looking for answers, and the first thing I noticed was a post to say today 09/04/2015 Bent Canuck: "HP Envy Hard Drive Failure" at 06:22. What a coincidence. Think are?  Only some 20 hours from the time I myself first 'hard drive Imminent failure warning' and only about 40 hours after the remote programs have been downloaded (twice) and the rep tech, taking control of my computer (twice).

  I ran all the diagnostics that my intermediate PC experience tells me to do.  I checked in the BIOS and I checked all the HP, troubleshooting, etc. on the Assistant HP program performance. I can find no reason for the hard drive to be failing.  I didn't notice it do anything else to be a little slow to start sometimes and slow to load stuff onto the internet, I have assumed it was probably malware and spyware that I must find a way to remove at one point, but I have received no warning about things either.  I get the same caveat and I did a full back, but...

  Can someone tell me what to do or how to check and see what the problem is until I have to just chuck the drive because of this warning?

  Thank you for the additional information.

  Did you run the BIOS CHIP to test your hard drive?  Also, I don't think that the added hard disk HP software had nothing to do with the message you receive.

• Smart HARD drive detects imminent failure on Satellite P

  Hello

  I have a message "SMART provides a defect on the disc dur0: TOSHIBA MK5055GSX-(S1)" or (the same in English) "Smart Drive detects imminent failure".
  On the newsgroups different 'people' says to change the disk.

  My problem is not to change the drive, it's easy. Expensive, but easy.

  As I understand it, on each disk from Toshiba, a hidden partition, which allows to restore the machine, with Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator there?.
  I would like to change the disc and use the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator? to restore Vista.

  How can I reinstall everything what to use Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator? This new disk to reinstall Vista from this new album.

  Thanks for any response.

  > If I understand correctly, each disk Toshiba, there is a hidden partition, which allows to restore the machine, with Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator?

  That s not entirely correct!
  The Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator creates the recovery disk! The recovery disk allows to recover the laptop using the drive and not the HARD drive recovery process!

  New portable Toshiba supports HARD drive recovery which allows to restore the laptop without the use of the recovery disc!

• 1720 smart hard drive detects imminent failure. do backup - how can I move my files when I get a new hard drive?

  Hi, I have "1720 smart hard drive detects imminent failure" made a backup, Gather I have to get another drive. How can I transfer my windows vista / files to new drive? Help, please.

  Hello

  There are different ways to do

  and these methods depend on your hard drive work

  hard drive manufacturers will normally provide the cloning to move your operating system software from the old to the new drive hard If your old hard drive still works

  Search for information on this subject on their Web site

  If you have vista business or ultimate, you can use the builtin vista complete PC Backup to move

  read the information below

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial145.html

  or if you have vista home version you'll need 3rd party software

  link below is an example of this:

  http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage/index.html

  also to put your machine how you bought:

  1. If vista is preinstalled, you should have a recovery on your old hard drive partition

  You can recovery disks to reinstall on your new drive hard If the old drive still works

  ask the manufacturer of the machine how

  2. contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  3. or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

• Computer HP laptop-15-r101na: disk hard Imminent failure

  I've had this laptop for a month and after about 2 weeks, I received a message at startup telling hard imminent failure. I backed up all my data and run the hard drive tests.
  Hard drive tests immediately to find a failure and gave me a failure ID but no resolution.
  
  I am currently using the laptop as usual, but with an external hard drive connected to the caution. The hard drive has not yet failed, but the message remains displayed.
  
  I'm a bit confused what is wrong and why it seems to not resolved itself?
  Any help would be appreciated?

  Hey Jake,

  You are probably still in warranty.  Make sure you have backed up your files externally and contact hp support.  You will need a replacement of the hard disk.  Sorry to hear that you have problems, happy, that they performed while you are covered.

• Drive problem hard imminent failure!

  My "hard drive" is a 3320813AS of ST on a British flag s3624 and WARNING model: it is about to fail. Seagate advises going to a Barracuda 7200.11 and 7200.12, are these versions of replacement? or if I were to upgrade, should I go for?

  redted,

  The answers that you have been detailed and must be met as soon as possible in order to protect your data. As you say, your hard drive is a failure, and you should not continue to use it.

  The general answer is that you need to create the recovery DVD "s (only DVD + R is recommended by HP) to really protect your operating system." This is your first step.

  Not knowing your level of computer "eze" is the second problem.

  (1) Big_Dave link to 'How to' articles is all you need to physically do the work. Then do the necessary backup of all your data. The last step would be to replace the disk, reinstall the OS and then the data files.

  (2) this is the solution is simple and fast.  It's not basic built into the system. It requires time, and an external source (DVD or hard drive) to store all of your files to backup data.

  (3) my solution was also based on "how to" articles But I suggest you clone the drive and be done with it.

• Smart disk hard imminent failure

  My laptop (hp G6 - A6 amd vision - quad core with windows 7 Home premium) was running very slow and hanging very often, I did a scan for a virus and, apparently, there was not. I did a restore to factory with hp Recovery Manager and now I get a message my hard drive is due to an imminent failure. The message is very annoying and scary because he asked me to back up my files or I won't lose them. Any idea what should I do then?

  Hello

  Looks like you should consider replacing the hard drive so definitely make a backup of all your personal files etc. asap - is your laptop still under warranty?

• Windows XP, disk hard imminent failure, can I select continue or setup to start the backup

  At the bottom of the page that says "imminent hard drive failure", it asks if you want to continue, or the installer.  Which is better to back up the hard drive?

  If the options "setup" means that you know what you are about to install Windows, stop.

  I take the hunt, put it in an external enclosure and save it by connecting to another machine.

  If you have a Western Digital hard drive, you can get a 'special' version of Acronis True Image WD's (http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get it separately (this is not an exhaustive list and is in no particular order):

• Pavilion TouchSmart 15 b-129wm: failure to boot windows / DST short drive hard test failure

  Hello

  You are welcome

  There is nothing you can really do to repair the HARD drive - the drive must be replaced.

  However, you may well be able to access and back up your existing data by removing the HARD to place in an external enclosure - drive is an example on the link below - and this connection to another PC and see if you can access your files.

• Black screen when I turn on the computer, press F1 and error message: disk hard imminent failure

  Original title: crash is immediate please help

  When I turn on my computer laptop black screen saying I have to press F1 to continue, it says after that... disk failure hard immenent what can I do besides spend more than 200. OO, I don't?

  Hello

  Chances are the hard drive failed, but it could be wiring or other materials.

  Check with the system manufacturer's support, their documentation online and ask in their forums
  (if any). Most have instructions to replace the hard drive.

  You can usually buy a hard drive for alternatives for less than $100,00 and maybe much less. Or the other
  get the same one or the same size.  System manufacturers usually several models if you
  the same can buy cheaper. And there will be others who are of the same size and type which
  can be used. Your local computer store can help select an appropriate player.

  Here is an example of how to replace the hard drive on some HP computers for example. Most
  other manufacturers are similar, and there are many generic examples on the internet.

• HP pavilion dv6 drive hard test failure

  Failure ID: 6CVLG8 - 5KL 702 - XD0141 - 60RE03

  Please help identify the error.

  Hello

  The error code will be a Smart failure or disk Self Test - in both cases, this would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.

  If your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP (with code of failure of 24 characters) and arrange for the disk replaced - you can check the status of your warranty here.

  If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

  If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

  If you are out of warranty and would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself, please let me know - include the full model number and the laptop Nr - see here for an explanation.
