drive hard test shows 'hard disk 1 (303) quick"what do I do now?

I have a HP pavilion DV6 notebook PC and I pressed f10 to run the hard drive and memory test. Test memory past but hard drives HDD 1 fast (303)? What should I do now?

Hello

303 error code is a disk failure short self-test and would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.

If your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP 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 your notebook dv6 series Nr - see here for an explanation.

Kind regards

    Go - the hard disk is not damaged, you can restore the data.

    I fitted a new HDD in my desktop Pavilion PC second, and the device appears in the DEVICE MANAGER and the BIOS. However, the second HDD does not appear in DISK MANAGEMENT and so I can't initialize it or return a drive letter. The power and serial data cables are OK. I also tried a SMART scan to check the problem. A little SMART hard drive test should take about one minute, but after 10 minutes, it's still a test on the HARD drive. The drive is defective?

    It seems that the resolution has been set to a low value until the operating system executes the features of the screen and the graphics card.  The boxes on the anouncement screens are larger on low reslution settings.   Windows XP is not as alert as the Windows 7 operating system, but he eventually came around.

  • Swapping of hard disks (both built on the same machine but now BSOD for both)

    I have not met this one before (and I have built computers for more than 30 years).

    I installed win7 on a t61.  Everything was ok and functional.  I wanted to move to an SSD if

    I updated the Bios and loaded win7 on the SSD.  I wanted to remove some data out of the first disk files

    so I took out the second disc and it wouldn't start.  Repair could not fix this BSOD.  Then

    I put the second disc in and now get BSOD.

    That's happened?  What is the way to get around this?

    Thank you

    Will be

    Will,

    From what you describe, I'd be a little worried by the physical disk connector in the laptop.  Can visually inspect you the connectors on the drives and it too?

    Just for the record, I know what it means "BSOD" I ask what are the actual error codes.  They might indicate something specific.

    Also, go to the config of the BIOS, set the default stop cold and try to start again.  If this does not help, enable/disable the SATA in the BIOS config mode.

  • Replace drive hard hp pavilion dm3 after failure of hard drive test.

    All,

    I have a HP Pavilion Dm3. Windows 8 Beta. My error messages included: drive hard Test failed. Hard disk 1 (303) fast. Hard drive 1 full (395). Most recent upload has itunes. From what I see I need to replace my hard drive.

    My question is this; is there a manual or a guide on how to, 1. physically, replace the hard drive and 2. record information that may exist on my hard drive crashed? Thank you in advance for your help!

    Hello:

    There are many models of dm3.

    I pulled a repair of the dm3-2000 series. I hope that this layout is the same.

    Read Chapter 4 of the procedure on the removal and replacement of the hard disk. Do not throw the old hard drive.

    You will need to the caddy, the connector and screw to transfer to the new.

    Before you remove the hard drive, you can see if you can copy your files on a USB portable hard drive by downloading, burn it to a CD (using the ISO burning method) and make a the Kapersky rescue CD bootable CD. This will allow you to see the folders on your C:\ drive using the method of the graphical interface of the program execution.

    Then you can copy and paste your files on your portable hard drive.

    If the rescue CD can not see your hard drive, there's probably nothing you can do anything to the drive for recovery.

  • failure of hard disk drive necessary to reinstall WinXP Home on replacement HARD drive

    I have an of Western Digital HARD drive with my system of operating XP Home 32-bit installed on my primary C: drive.

    I have run the Diagnostics tool online to WD for the reader who found intractable errors on the disc, which indicates an imminent drive failure and an email their technical support confirms the disk needs to be replaced SOON before she completely fails.

    I copied all personal off the drive failed on another drive good files and am now ready to remove the failed drive and install a new replacement main primary HDD and then reinstall my XP Home on it - so - until I started to do this thinking, I would ask for tips in anticipation of a smooth, re - install on the new drive.

    I got a 25 character key and proof of 8-character license key. There is a Microsoft sticker on the back of the pc (that I do not see to read right now, but its there).

    So, I remove the old drive and fit the replacement drive and this format and then install my XP Home - can we see a particular problem with activation?

    concerning

    Depending on whether you have a recovery CD suitable for activation key for your sticker or not, there are three possible courses of action. Each activation of the path should not be a problem unless this procedure has been done several times or your 25-character key fell into the wrong hands.

    If you have a recovery CD

    Make the re-installation, follow the control points in my first post in this thread...

    .. .so how to get XP to date.

    If your recovery media is a service pack before SP3, there is more information on how to get to SP3 in my first post in this thread...

    If you do not have a recovery CD

    I hope that your original drive will have a recovery partition or the means to create a recovery CD. If you can create recovery media do now. In the contrary case and the original disc has a recovery partition make a clone of the original hard disk sector by sector to your new car now. If the clone is successful, i.e., that there are no unreadable sectors, is perhaps the best way to proceed in any case, especially if your PC is in good health other than the imminent failure of your HARD drive. If the clone does not work out, you can always fall back on the new installation. The advantage of a clone is that there is no re-setup software to (updates Windows or Office to give just two examples) and didn't need to be restored. I paid for the partitioning/cloning software and have no experience of all freebies out there to make recommendations, perhaps 10crackers can help with this.

    If you have managed to create a recovery media, you can use it instead of cloning.

    If you clone successfully you can just use it as is, or use the built-in recovery partition that you just cloned to do a clean install.

    If you don't have a recovery media and cannot create an and is unable to successfully clone

    You will have to contact the manufacturer of your PC to see if they can provide recovery media.

  • Pavilion dv6: hard disk gets stuck in a "loop", the private resources applications

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 (dv6-6145dx) with 4 GB of RAM and Windows 7 x 64 installed, 500 Gb HD (Hitachi , 40% brand free).  It worked very well for a time very, very long time.  Recently installed Office 365 month last for professional use, which I was concerned might be a resource hog, but usually works very well.  I also AVAST! Antivirus Pro is installed.

    Last week, I started noticing a strange problem that I had not seen before.  Some applications have become desensitized.  I noticed the hard drive light was constantly.  So I tried to close some applications (including Outlook), thinking that I was running resources.  But the deadlock problem continues.

    Listening to the hard drive, I could hear this "stuck in a loop.  Something like "click-[bunch of quick clicks] - click-click-[break].  Repeats every 2 seconds.  Continues to go on and on.  If I leave the computer alone for about 15 ~ 20 minutes, I discover it has recovered.  But once I run the intensive program of any disk, this repeats itself.  It doesn't matter if it's a 3rd team application or system (such as the launch of Event Viewer).

    To try to limit this, I started in safe mode with network.  I thought that if it was driver related, it wouldn't happen.  I launch the event viewer and still, the loop of the hard drive goes.  All gloomy.

    My antivirus is up to date. I ran a full scan of the system (F2) and no errors.  I ran the monitor resources and Process Explorer in the hope of identifying what that either method was this... couldn't see just guilty.  I also created a new user and logged in with this account... has always been able to experience this problem.  It is therefore not associated user account.

    I'm at my wit's end.  I am grateful that I have another computer I can use, but this should not be the case.

    Anyone who is familiar with this kind of hard disk behavior consumes resources?

    "If you keep an open mind, life will give you more opportunities."

    I ran another system test and eventually got more details:

    "Disk hard Test" failed

    "Fast hard disk 1" (303)

    "Complete hard drive 1" (305)

    OK, so from what I've found, it's a serious error means that the hard drive has failed.

    He is a computer 4 years.  I never had a hard disk failure in a laptop before, and I had many laptops up to nearly 8 years, without any hard drive problem.  The drive inside is manufactured by Hitachi... they don't exactly have the best reputation.  Anyway, all the research that I have met never goes into detail as to what might have caused the failure and if some readers have a reliability problem.  The answer is always "you need to replace your hard drive."

    Anyway, I will not try to diagnose it further.  I send my laptop in for repair (still under warranty - exhausted soon, phew!).

  • Satellite M40x-112 - need advice on upgrade HARD disk

    Hello

    I have a Satellite M40x-112, it is almost 3 years and the hard drive (TOSHIBA MK8025GAS ATA) has problems, I need to change it, but I don't know a lot of this so I ask for help and advice on which hard drive should I buy for this laptop.

    I searched and read, but I still don't understand... In my view, there are many interfaces like PATA, SATA, ATA, then I saw ATA-2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 also Ultra-ATA/100, EIDE, IDE etc etc... so I'm really confused...

    What interface using my laptop? What interface to use the new hard disk?

    And what hard drive 2.5 "is good? You will find a large number of companies, which is the best hard drives for laptops?
    My current hard drive is fat 80 GB. I would switch to 160 or 250, this guy do you recommend?

    Thank you all very much for your help,

    I understand that very well the different titles of interface HARD drive confused most people me too in the past ;)

    Then I would try to clarify some things;
    There are two important differences between the interfaces of HDD; IDE (ATA, PATA and also known as EIDE) and SATA (SATA).

    ATA - 5, Ultra ATA/66 means Ultra DMA 3, 4 (44.4, 66.7) means UDMA/66
    ATA - 6 means that ultra ATA/100 that means UDMA 5 (100) means UDMA/100
    ATA - 7, Ultra-ATA/133 means that UDMA 6 (133) means UDMA/133

    and so now ;)

    Your laptop supports the drive HARD IDE (ATA-6) Enhanced interface and you must use the IDE HDD (NOT of SATA)

    I'm not sure on the size HARD disk max because Toshiba doesn't provide official information on the max supported drives hard but a 100 GB maybe 120 GB of HARD drive might be possible.
