Drive SMART 301 error

Hello

My laptop (HP Pavilion dv6-3175ee) shows a 301 SMART hard disk error and it is extremely slow and hot.

Help

The best is an SSD, but you would mortgage the farm to get a 1 TB SSD. I suggest a 7200 rpm or a hybrid disc like here:

Hybrid 1 to $120

750 GB 7200 RPM $90

Either will be a considerable improvement on the Toshiba 5400 RPM you have.

Here is the Service Manual:

Look on page 55 for installation instructions.

  • Advice on hard drive recovery, 301 error

    Hi all

    I have a PC HP Pavilion HPE h8 - 1170d which is about 2.5 years or older. The specifications are:

    Intel Core i5 2500 with 8 GB of RAM, 1 TB SATA hard disk. I recently installed a graphics card Radeon HD6670 as the original card gave problems. I've also upgraded to a Cooler Master 500W power supply.

    Other details of my PC are listed here: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02991104

    Recently, I have known failure linked with the hard disk, indicating error 301. I managed to collect enough (somehow) hard drive and now able to Microsoft to start up and run error checking tool. But I know I'll have to replace it because it's a matter of time before the disk dies hard completely.

    Before I go and buy a replacement hard drive, I hope that I might know the following:

    1. I don't know what version of SATA is my PC using. Can I just specify I want a SATA hard drive and not worry about their version of the SATA?

    2. What is the best way to replace the hard drive from the software point of view? Can I make a copy of the image of my current hard drive, if yes, what is the best way to do it? Sorry, I didn't do this before if you need to ask this fundamental question. It would make sense to connect the new hard drive and then do the image?

    Thank you very much for any help!

    Hi smtan,

    A SATA III, disc 6 GB data transfer rates will work.

    Your PC model introduced by HP in 2011. He may have SATA II, but a disk SATA III will be backward compatible. If this is true, you will be limited to 3 GB transfer speeds.

    Another consideration is the size of the HARD drive. You should probably limit the size of 2 TB HARD drive replacement. Your PC probably has a legacy BIOS and your HP Recovery disks may not work on a greater than 2 TB HARD drive.

    You have a few choices on moving or installing Win 7 on your new HARD drive.

    You can clone the existing installation from disc HARD original for HARD drive replacement. You will need to use either: free disk imaging software or buy this software. I heard good things about Macrium Reflect free and free EaseUS.

    You can GOOGLE for other choices.

    Install the disk imaging/software on the source of cloning HARD drive. Install the new disk on your PC.

    Start the cloning software and follow the instructions on the operating system for the new HARD drive cloning.

    See this article for instructions on cloning from one HARD disk to another.

    This article may interest you. Consider buying a replacement SSD. The increase in performance is amazing. Many SSD manufacturers provide software cloning for the purchase. You can also buy the version of the office. This includes an adapter 3.5 inches for the installation of the SSD to 2.5 inches in the HARD drive cage.

    There is a downside if you go SSD. Your HP recovery disks may not work because the replacement SSD will be less than 1 TB. There are ways around this. Please see this forum post on the installation of Win 7 without a disk. Let me know if you are interested.

    Hello

    The error seems to indicate that the HARD disk is defective and must be replaced.

    Your computer is listed as coming with a 500 GB hard drive, but you can also easily install a 750 GB HARD drive if you want a little more space - readers at the following links are examples that would be perfect for your laptop.

    Hard drive 500 GB

    750 GB hard drive.

    The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 59 of your & Maintenance Guide.

    Once this is done, simply use your recovery DVD to reinstall the operating system on the new drive - this is described in the document of HP here.

    If you do not have your recovery discs, you can order a replacement set by starting on the link below.

    Order HP recovery disks.

    If you have a problem with this link, seeif you can order them directly from HP.

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

    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.

    The result of the test hard drive means that the hard drive needs to be replaced. If you are still able to connect to Windows, then do it as soon as possible and copy everything you want to save to an external drive.

    If your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP for a warranty replacement drive. free standard warranty is one year from the date of purchase. Check the status of the guarantee

    You will need your recovery disk series or usb recovery media that you have created previously in order to perform a recovery image of origin on the replacement hard drive.

    New drive HARD & OS errors---> HP 8000 Elite Small Form Factor PC

    Can not install Win XP on another hard drive

    I work with a...
    HP Compaq 8000 Elite Small Form Factor PC

    Original SATA HDD is loaded with Windows 7 Pro.

    In order to install a program using this PC as a digital video recorder
    I installed the video capture PCI card and related software. I had problems
    associated with software and Windows 7.

    I know that the software works with Windows XP.
    Do not want to remove the original HDD, I tried my win7
    to replace the HARD drive and do a clean install of XP.

    I get the same error during the installation of the OS.  I tried different
    SATA and different XP install disks.

    The error I get is shown in this photo.

    Original HP HARD drive is a Hitachi 160 GB

    I tried 2 known to be good SATA drives.
    Seagate 500GB
    WD 80 GB

    I checked the bios settings and even revenue tio rear BIOS
    default settings.

    I get this error even with everything I tried to do.

    This happens during the OS install just after or during the process of the installation of temporary files are current

    written to the HD.

    When I re - install the original HD loaded with Win7, everything works as it
    expected.

    Any ideas on what] s going on here?

    Hello:

    The problem is that you must incorporate the necessary sata ahci drivers for windows XP to see the hard drive.

    Has Windows 7 and XP is too old an operating system to make them.

    Read the info at the link below, section of Intel and then read the downloadable PDF document for instructions on how to integrate all the drivers.

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and-software/SATA-drivers-for-XP-solution-on-0x0000007B-BSOD/m-p/114120#M17758

    The only other way to install XP on this model is to go into the bios, the storage section and change the setting of sata ahci to ide emulation, save the setting here and once again, when you go out.

    The problem is that if you do this, you cannot change the setting for the preferred setting of DCIS, unless you know how to install the correct ahci sata driver after installing XP from the controller.  If you try to just change the setting back on ahci without having to install the controller driver, the PC does not start upward.

    Try "slipstreaming" the drivers first and if you can't swing, install XP in IDE mode and I'll help you get the drivers installed, so you can change the BIOS to ahci setting.
