DV6 HDD 303

Hi, my hard drive is showing an error 303, I think I need to replace it, but that I lose all data in it? Please help, and if I did... Please is there a way I can get it back?

Hello

Error 303 would indicate the hard drive is faulty and must be replaced.

A possible way to try to recover your files from a disk non-boot is to follow the process described in the link below.  The CD of the Ubuntu operating system you create can launched from the CD alone (IE it doesn't have to be installed on the hard drive) and I've often found to successfully extract data even a hard failure.  When you created the CD, follow the instructions and see if you can back up your existing data.

    And you are right, the new hard drive also seems to have a flaw, and I recommend that you obtain a replacement.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-6140us w/Hitachi 640 GB SATA / 300 5400 RPM 8 MB 2.5 "HDD

    I have the possibility to replace the hard drive on my laptop dv6-6140, under Windows7 Home Premium 64-bit, as I'm smart errors, 301, 303 & 305. I have a chance to buy a Hitachi Travelstar 5 K 750 HTS547575A9E384 - disk hard - 750 GB - SATA-300 for the same price for a replacement of 640GO. My Question is; the picture I did of the 640 GB HDD will be able to load the new 750 GB drive or should I stay on the same size drive, on which the image was made?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You should be fine with the HARD drive that you mention - as a general rule, the disks of the same capacity or more will be Ok.

    You only usually managed in the problem when you use HP Recovery Meda on disks with a capacity smaller than the original.

    Hello

    As far as I know, the machine was delivered with 20 GB of HARD drive.
    After a long search I found a 100 GB HARD disk for this device.
    I think that there is a maximum size.
    Check this box:

    Also it is not very difficult to replace the HARD drive. On the site from the bottom of the laptop, you can find the cover of the HARD drive. You must remove it. As far as I know it s a single screw. Then you can remove safe HDD form Bay.

  • Pavilion dv6-1255-EA: upgrading ram and HDD to ssd

    Hello, my laptop (pavilion dv6 1255-EA portable entertainment I bought 6 years with core 2 due processor, 4 GB ram, 500 GB HDD and AMD catalyst HD 1 GB graphics card) is running a bit slow so I however get a new ssd and / or more than ram would make it faster, I currently have 4 GB of ram and 500 GB hard drive installed in my laptop and I was woundering what are those that I can? Are crucial bullsticks 8 GB of ram and 7 with 9 in ssd adapter compatible? I need an answer as soon as possible because I saw some discounts on these on amazon so that I won't have to wait for black Friday to get them again. And it would also be good if someone also indicates what screwdriver I use.

    Hey @Ajijawi,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

    I came across your post on the HP Pavilion dv6 - 1255ee Entertainment Notebook and eager to replace the hard drive of 9.5 mm or increase the RAM. Even if it could adapt to the Notebook ok. Queues screws could be different. Here is a link to your service manual page 69 for the hard card. I would really check this before buying new HARD drive. You may need to change so it does not move. The 500 GB SATA 6 GB/s SSD internal SSD 2.5 "would work for this model of laptop including that you have an AMD System.

    This laptop supports up to 8 GB memory system DDR2, 800 MHz, PC2-6400, page 1-DIMM 32 of the manual above.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you.

  • Pavilion dv6-7039tx: slot machines number of HDD on my Pavilion dv6-7039tx

    Hello

    I'll have some performance issues with my laptop in recent times. When I look in the Windows 8 Task Manager it shows my drive as 100% all the time. I tried my best with various troubleshooting guides, but nothing can stop him to use 100% all the time. I read that using 100% disk leads to performance can degrade that I see most of the time with my notebook. So, finally decided to put an additional SSD (if there is one extra slot) in my book, if there is no solt for additional SSD so I can replace it with my HARD disk existing.

    Can anyone tell me is it possible to put an additional SSD in my laptop (Pavilion dv6-7039tx)?

    The second question I have is what is the best SSD which will solve my problem of performance with this model? I am looking at about 500GB SSD.

    Is it worth the upgrade?

    Hello

    There is only one slot for HDD/SSD 2.5 "available.

  • HDD dv6 1 305 full, safe mode works

    Hi my laptop is dv6 and OS win7

    Off my laptop (the little yellow icon with exclamation point was beside the close option. I thought that it meant that he would install updates, I go over it to see what he did. After I clicked on it I just leave. so I didn't know if it went through updates while closing or something else)

    Now whenever I tried the commissioning, it hangs just at the start of windows logo screen.
    I tried the system restore and startup repair, but they did not help.

    ran a test and got these errors:
    fast hard drive 1 303
    complete hard drive 1 305

    After googleing the mistakes I thought I need to replace the hard drive.
    I wonder if it's really the hard drive not because I was able to access the mode of security very well.
    Does make a difference?

    Hello

    The two error codes indicate that the HARD disk is a failure - the reason why it is often possible to start safe mode is due to training under less load (in terms of reads/writes) when Windows is running in mode.

    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.

If I have to replace the hard drive that I can as will increase size while, if possible i.e..

    It must also be a Toshiba or I can buy another brand?

    If the sticker OEM Windows on the laptop says Windows Home Premium, then it was probably 64-bit. You'll need to do a few things to bring your laptop into a useful state again.

    (1) remove the old hard drive from the laptop. Buy a new one and install it yourself, or have been in a store.

    (2) remove the battery and external power adapter and press the power button for 15-30 seconds. Plug the adapter external powre (leave uninstalled, battery). Now you should see it start BIOS and complain that it cannot find any bootable OS.

    (3) the set of recovery discs HP laptop of HP or purchase a licensed Windows Installation DVD. You can also download a version of Linux and install it on your new drive hard if that is your choice.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-1277el blue screen and disk hard error 303

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6-1277el with Windows 7 installed. For some time the laptop crashed several times with blue screens until one day windows no longer starts or is is stuck on the loading screen.

    I used an Ubuntu live CD to backup data to the HARD drive of the laptop on an external drive, but after that transfer a large amount of data that I received a warning ON impending drive failure due to reassign areas.

    Restarting the laptop I received the following message from the HP auto test:

    Hard drive 1 fast (303)
    Hard drive 1 full (305)

    The strange thing is that, after the first time that I had these messages, Windows rebooted to work without any problem and I've never had any blue screen again.

    What should I do? Anyway to change my HARD drive or her trust?

    Thank you

    Hello new solvayhütte.

    Probably, he continues to work because it detects a problem with the drive.  However, the reader may not be totally dead immediately.  So now is the time to get ALL the data that you want out of the disc before it goes bad.

    You have two options currently.  You can replace the drive hard yourself (it is not difficult) or contact HP for a repair.

    To replace the drive hard yourself, you can use your notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide for instructions on disassembly of the laptop.  There are also specifications stating the hard drive inside your laptop.  Use this information to buy a new hard drive and compatiable.

    If you do not want to replace the drive yourself, you can contact HP and inquire about a repair.  If you are within the United States or the Canada you can call to the 1-800-474-6836.  However, if you are outside this area, you will need to go to the HP support site for the contact information for your region.

    I hope that this information has been useful.  Have a great day!
