• 4 1002-tx envy: Envy 4 hard drive failure

  Hello world

  I have a HP ENVY 4 1002 - tx Ultrabook (Intel core i5, ssd of 32 GB, Windows 7, out of warranty) which failed the Test of break-in and of another diaognostic HP tests. The result - HDD smart check fails and gives a long fault code. I took a backup and reformatted PC to factory settings, but the problem is still there. I browsed the HP forum and looked at a few responses and guess I have to change my drive hard as the best possible solution (even if it's at work, but the HARD drive may stop working at any time). I would like to know:

  1. what HARD drive (HDD) should I replace with as I have currently Hitachi 500 GB 5400 RPM? Should I go with the same brand, or there are other good options. In addition, this time I would go for 1 TB HARD drive

  2. when I was looking for new HARD drive on the web I found there are different dimensions 1.8 "or 2.5" HDD ", size of the cache, SATA or PATA. That look is this laptop?

  3. Finally, it is easy to change the HARD drive on your own because it is a ultrabook or should I go to a repair shop

  Thank you

  The replacement hard drive is actually not so difficult. Remove the back cover and you will have access to all internal components. Even the motherboard is fairly easy to replace. Here is the Manual:

  Repair manuals

  See p. 37. The real question you'll encounter is cache 32 gig WSSD accelerator and the fact that the storage is in RAID mode. Reloading of an operating system on the new drive is a little awkward and get the "acceleration" of work is also a bit more difficult than the normal software installation. You have a HP recovery disk?

  To answer the other question, you can use any 2.5 inches wide 7 mm thickness SATA HDD to. It is a "superslim" configuration and is readily available, but be careful not to get the type of 9.5 mm thicker. The 32 gig WSSD provides quick access to start and the program, you can get without a SSD drive. I would get a 1 TB drive, like this:

  Considering that you have backups and a failure, I would consider replacing the drive.  Drives 1 TB are relatively expensive and you can be on your way by restoring the backup information.  IMHO, it is not worth taking more chances on the old disk.

• I have a Compaq Persario CQ50 - 109CA which is indicating "imminent hard drive failure.

  I have an app Compaq Persario CQ50 - 109CA, running on Windows Vista, which is indicating "Hard drive failure" imminent

  I backed everything up.

  I restarted the computer and started running the Hard Drive Self Test in the BIOS.  The quick test passed but 4 minutes in the next test, the computer will stop.  This has happened 4 times now.

  I can restart normally, and the computer seems to work very well.

  This means that the hard drive requires replacement indeed?

  The sectors more means worse condition. My classmate has 134 of them and can not start at all. Buy a new hard drive.

  Reallocated sectors count means that these areas cannot be used and the data is transferred to another area of the hard drive. This means a physical damage on the hard disk trays. The hard drive may be working again, but may also fail at any time completely...

• Satellite Pro P200 - Smart error "imminent hard drive failure".

  Hello! I wonder if someone can help me.

  Start the computer, the other day the S.M.A.R.T diagnostic program came suddenly on saying a "hard drive failure may be imminent," when I open the Intel Matrix Storage console, it says that the hard drive in port 0 has had a S.M.A.R.T event recorded against him but that of port. 2 is 'normal '.

  Port 0 is the volume of the operating system on it and if so what would be the best way to back up the disk and what someone knows how to change the hard drive and how much approximately would this cost?

  Thanks for any help inadvance.
  Paul.

  Hello!

  In my opinion, you should back up all the data as quickly as possible. In the worst case you could HARD drive might completely die and then you are not able to save the data on it.

  After that you should swap the HARD drive. It s depending on the model of HARD drive you buy how much it will cost but drives hard are not so dear to our days. I think that it will be possible to get one for 50 Euros.

  Good bye

• Hard drive failure is imminent!

  so I had a play and when I started the game, I was told that my computer will restart, then it started me off in the bios with the message "hard drive failure is imminent. IM wondering if I get another HARD drive I will need to get another copy of windows 10 buy or is there a way I can keep the windows 10 during a maneuver on my HARD drive?

  You can simply install the new disk, then start on a key USB W10 and install the operating system without a key, then when you get on the desktop, it should activate.

  Or clone the old disk to a usning new Macrium reflect free, then install the new disk, but if the reader fails it cannot establish so well.

  You can make the USB stick using this tool from Microsoft, you will need a 8 GB or more great drive flash usb, or you can make an ISO file and then burn it to DVD.

  What it means? I also get messages on Windows 7 hard disk failure is imminent. What is in fact a hard drive failure?

  The problems started after system restore to a point previous (5 days ago) after downloading some updates of the site Web HP that have been identified as relevant, but caused freezes, which is why the restoration to the previous point. Still trying to get an idea of the problem areas. Most things work very well, but Windows Media Player does not properly is the most obvious fault so far. More I bought a new external hard drive to perform the emergency backup, but it is not recognized when I plug. It is however grateful already used very happy memory sticks.

  I'm likely to have a real failure, or is a false reading because things did not settle down properly after the system restore?

  I am not technically very advanced - perhaps at the limit of my understanding so simple popular suggestions/instructions.

  Thanks for all those who have followed this demand. Problem solved - I took it to a local repair shop in the end. While I could probably physically replace the drive myself quite easily, I wanted the confidence of an expert to provide the correct replacement and manages the much larger task to transfer everything at the latest so that I can resume normal with all that where it should be.

• 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

  Hi there, since a terrible week for me I started to receive the error message:

  Hard drive failure is imminent and must be replaced

  only when am re - / from my PC.

  I made a backup already a few days ago (space available was already 85% - did not much), run all those disk cleanup, defragmentation, analyze and verify programs and there was nothing wrong. I ran all possible controls and it had nothing recorded. I've updated / installed Windows 8 which works perfectly without any problems, no computer crash or that it is, but only sometimes receive a message saying that I need to run/shedule a back, etc.

  As I already mentioned, there was no disk error, no other problems known but still get the message "hard drive failure is imminent and should be replaced" and crazy!

  My questions are:

  (1) what on Earth is happening, there is always a problem with touch smart PC; should he stay away all in a desktop PC and just buy older versions - separate screen and tour, etc.?

  (2) I have no problem and continue to use my PC but wonder what will happen; It will be down, it's just a false error message, what should I do?

  (3) if I have to take it to a service, what should I take care of?

  Thank you for taking your time and wil appreciate for your posts about.

  Hello

  What has happened is that the CHIP system reports told you that your hard drive will fail little time. It is good that you have saved.  The fault lies not in all of your PC, but in a single component, namely the hard disk. You own your PC like one year standard warranty is longer.

  You need to buy a hard drive with the following specifications. It of time to find your recovery disc as you need to recover your PC in its delivered State and then apply the upgrade 8 to win again. You can install it yourself or have done by a qualified PC store or from an HP Service Technician. The HP service center is the most expensive option.

  You can avoid having to use the recovery disk and upgrade by a clone of your hard drive on a 1.5 TB external drive. You will be able to migrate the clone on the new diskette with a product commercially available as Paragon Hard Disk Manager 12.

• Pavilion g6-1118TX: reported hard drive failure

  Hello people of the community.

  Recently, I get a message indicating an imminent hard drive failure during startup. I just wanted to know how I can solve the problem and how to buy a hard drive and the same difficulty. The issue seems to affect the cranking up the speed of the laptop. I would be grateful if you can give an approximate value of your new hard drive and the different options available (eg.1TB, 750GB etc.) for PAVILION g6-1118TX model number. Also suggest would be interesting to buy a new hard drive and move or search for improving the system of newer models.

  Waiting for your reply at the earliest.

  Hi @ra1791!

  I'm sorry to say this, but such errors are indicating that the drive is about to fail, then the best option in this case will be to replace it with another unit. If the product is still under warranty, you can contact support, but in case you have no guarantee and you would like a guide to replacing the hard drive you can you take a look at the manual page, user 46:

  Compatible spare disks are also.

  I hope this helps and good luck!

• HP Pavilion Slimline S5: Internal HARD drive failure, PC does not start

  Drive HARD internal of my HP Pavilion Slimline S5 failed and died recently (bought in 2011). My HP warranty is long gone.

  The splash screen has shown this message:

  1720-SMART hard detects an imminent failure

  Due to lack of player: SATA0

  Failed attributes: # 05

  I have several questions about this:

  1. Is it only caused by HARD drive failure? I want to replace it myself, but I don't really know if there are other parts to replace. Or it will be better to bring it to the computer shop to do carefully check?
  2. I can replace it with Seagate Barracuda 3.5 "(7200 RPM, 1 TB, SATA 3 or 6)? I think that the current HARD drive is Hitachi.
  3. I still need to transfer Windows OEM once the HARD drive is replaced?

  Thanks in advance.

  According to the packing of the Seagate, it might come with the software.  But if it is OEM drive then found the software by clicking HERE.  In general, I use a USB adapter for hard drive to clone if the PC will not support an additional drive.  Given that a number of incomplete model for the PC, it is difficult to find accurate info, but the Pavilion Slimline S5 I checked all have a motherboard with additional SATA ports.  Just have a spare SATA cable and power on the power port and try the cloning software.  Make sure that the drive is not touch a conductive element.  Usually, I place the additional reader on a cardboard box.

  Install the new drive as a replacement for the existing drive and connect everything as it is now.  Then connect the old drive in the manner discussed.  Boot from the CD created with cloning tools.  If the old drive is cloned stll, then when the software is finished, remove the old drive connections to see if the drive can start the computer.  If this is not successful, try to run the recovery screen (F11) BIOS boot manager.  If that does not work, use the Recovery DVD set brand when the computer was new.  If you did this, or lost them, then see THATto order a series.

• hard drive failure

  I recently tried to upgrade to el capitan in yosemite. He failed during the installation process, and now, whenever I boot my mac need me in disk utility. I can't erase, restore, Mount/unmount my osx partition. I took it to the store, they checked, and it was the hard drive failure. IM wondering how I can run windows on it. I can boot into window normally and everthing worked.

  MacBook pro early 2011

  Windows is located on its own partition, and if your Mac partition is damaged in any way it is not part of the windows installation.

  If an authorized service apple tells you to replace the drive, you will need to back up your windows partition with something else than Time Machine, if it's not an a separate physical disk.

• Satellite A210 - 1 4 - possible signs of a hard drive failure

  Hello

  I use a Toshiba Satellite A210 - 1 4 and think that the hard drive may be showing signs of failure.

  _The symptoms are: _

  * While the Windows 7 boot frequently stops at 'Starting Windows' screen (before the Windows logo appeared) and all HARD drive activity stops meaning a hard reset is necessary to bring him back.

  * When I unplug the power cord on Windows 7, the computer freezes usually with nothing happens and stop any HARD drive activity, once again a hard reset is required to bring back to life.

  What are these early signs of HARD drive failure or is there something else wrong?

  Hey Buddy,

  For me it doesn t look like the HARD drive malfunction if Windows 7 stops when starting or freezes when you unplug the AC adapter

  Have you already tried to reinstall the operating system? It could be the software problem.

  If you still want to check your drive HARD uses a disk HARD Drive Fitness Test as a diagnostic tool. It s freeware so you can find it if you search on Google.
