  Hi Alex,

  About the error code, it always indicates a failure - Smart drive self-test or when related to the HARD drive.  You will see different codes for the same error is because the codes contain also other information such as the status of the guarantee, product etc. in encrypted form id - only HP has the software to decrypt it.

  Regarding the replacement of the hard drive is concerned, your laptop 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 53 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 using the link below.

  Order HP recovery disks.

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

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

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

  Regarding your existing data (assuming that the laptop is no longer starts), if it is essential to keep the data, your best option would be to seek the services of a company specializing in the recovery of the data it is however an expensive procedure.

  Otherwise, here are some options you can try.

  1. one 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 save your existing files.

  2 another option would be to remove the drive HARD, place it in an external enclosure - is an example of the link below - connect to another PC and see if you can access your files.

• Drive hard short self-test failure and how to recover my data if HD packages in, also how 2 recovery to win 8.

  I have a computer dell laptop vostro 2520 it is the only 2mths old, already I'm short self-test failiers whenever I have an HD test!. It still works very well, but im worried he's going at any time!  The diagnostic test via (f12) after start-up also breaks down the hard drive but all the rest! I have the windows 8 support of recovery disk os only, comes with the cd of the laptop, the resources and the media and have backup on a given traveller! I'm not very good when it comes to pc but im learning! can I use discs that I have to re - install win 8? or if I do an image of the original system which allows? any help with these would be awesome! im not that familiar with computers as ive already said how do I a more thorough test to find out exactly what is causing the problem? Thank you for taking the time to read this and give me your comments. Dee.

  The hard disk will fail for sure either sooner or later, but it is a good idea to take a new hard drive and replace it with the old.

  You can use the Windows 8 installation CD/DVD to reinstall Windows 8 in the future. If the system breaks down suddenly and you have not taken any backup of important files, creating full system image is always recommended.

  Good luck!!

• W510 - error HARD drive, gambling problems, calibration of the questions

  Hi all users of Thinkpad and Lenovo. I'm new here and to the community of Lenovo.

  I just renovated W510 a few weeks and love it. Laptop necessary for photography.

  Type series R96RGY4 43195RU

  i5 520 M

  6 GB of RAM [Update 2GB]

  Quadro FX 880M 1 GB

  HD + screen 15'6

  Seagate 320 GB SATA 7200 RPM

  Windows 7 32 bit

  Update Bios to 1.38

  But having some issues, could not find an answer:

  1. as a hobby photographer trying to calibrate using Huey PRO Lenovo recommended tool. Problem is that when I run the software says "could not find the color sensor" and I don't know if I have it. I know, it should be between the fingerprint and keyboard player. What it looks like? How will I know that I have?

  If I don't have it, what is the best [possibly budget] way to go on the calibration it?

  2. question - half-life 2 game. Downoladed by Valve. Played very well from the beginning with the "recommended" video settings But lately the game FREEZE a lot, it's unplayable!

  I installed the latest driver from nVidia 6824, always point of FREEZING. I did back driver, still hurt. [if I remember well, it was well before I did of the nvidia drivers] I lowered same resolution details changed from the top in the middle. None works.

  I use GPU counter acquired with Win 7 and it will never more of 130 f. I even had laptop cooler with 2 adjustable fans, adjusted on the GPU area. If the heat is not the issue.

  3 HDD issue.

  Due to the game that I have run Thinkvantage material test and found 2 ERRORS [could there be FREEZE game question?]

  FAILURE - ERROR WHD20-SR7 targeted reading test

  I want to emphasize that I installed Xubuntu Linux as a 2nd distribution. HDD shrunk using the Windows utility, install Grub in the MBR.

  All workes very well, except the game.

  Can I communicate with Lenovo and replace the HARD drive? About 198 days warranty.

  Sorry for the long post, did not make too many messages :-)

  Thank you for reading and I would appreciate any help. This day happy user of Lenovo.

  The W510 series is known for having badly mounted coolers, I'm not sure if this applies to Dual Core versions however.

  Even if your time is low, the video memory could be overheating because the cooler has bad contact with them.

  Have you checked the time CPU? What heppens if you run FurMark at extreme burning mode?

  You should have this replaced hard drive that's for sure.

• Compaq presario v6000 v6409tu disk hard bios self-test fail

  Hello

  Windows xp no my pc compaq v6000 not starting and bluescreen showed a couple of times. I ran the BIOS (phoenix) disk hard diagnosis and the test failed. When I opened my HDD I noticed green rust as deposits into the connector on the hard drive. After cleaning with a brush, computer loaded XP successfully. But an hour later, while I was surfing in mozilla suddenly the mouse pointer started late and showed computer blue screen saying that windows has been closed down to prevent damage.

  I would be grateful if someone can tell me if it's a software problem or hard drive error. If I need to replace my hard drive, what are my options, for example. rpm, capacity, provider? Thank you.

  The only way you could have rusted copper into the connector on the hard drive is if liquid got in there so I am reluctant to try to speculate how much damage has been done. I remove the hard drive and connect it to the outside to another computer and run chkdsk on it to see if the drive itself is bad. As long as there is a problem on the part of connector and the interface with the motherboard cannot really trust the onboard hard drive Diagnostics. You could also get an own another new hard drive adapter.

  http://www.eBay.com/ITM/new-Compaq-Presario-C700-F500-F700-V6000-SATA-laptop-hard-drive-connector-/161297513053?PT=US_Drive_Bay_Caddies & Hash = item258e14ba5d

  If it does not turn on the hard drive is bad, you can replace it with any laptop SATA drive no more than 9.5 mm thick.

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16822145587

  Above is a good thing. It is slim (7mm) but it will still go into the caddy and connect to the motherboard with the connecting piece. If the hard drive itself is always good, and you replace the connector piece but he always bluescreens, so I would not spend money on a new hard drive. I would say that there was damage to the motherboard.

• Error hard drive 305

  Hello everyone and thank you for reading this.

  If I own a HP Pavilion DV6(EDIT: I believe it's a dv6 6145dx) and it is NOT booting. EDIT: Windows 7 Home 64-bit Edition (I believe).

  What I mean is that either not happening the windows loading screen after clicking "start windows normally".

  So I tried to understand what the error was and I went into the bios and test a hard drive. When I did everything first he finished the short test and says hard disk is full error 305.

  I left it like that for a while (maybe 3 weeks) until I finally had time to fixation.

  To fix it, I have Linux on a disk (Ubuntu to be exact) and start my computer through the OS on the drive. Then, I deleted and deleted files (music, old games) that I didn't need more in the hope that it would fix the error.

  Then I tried to start it again, and it had the same problem before, could not get past the Windows loading screen.

  Then I went into the bios and the hard drive I scan again. This time, he spent the short test but has NOT passed the long test. I got the error message was 305 hard drive error.

  Ive done a bit of research (how I found this site actually) and I can't find a solution. Is my hard drive bread? Y at - it an easy fix? Should I reinstall Windows?

  Thanks for reading and I would appreciate any help.

  Good day.

  Hello

  You are welcome

  The fact that you can access data on the HARD drive via Ubuntu is about what I expected the Player isn't having to run Windows, then you have reduced considerably the read/write load it is a sub - especially if the failure is mechanical, gives you a much better chance to snatch just your data.

  If you know the manufacturer of your HARD drive, please visit their website you should find a download to create a disc/usb diagnosis of new test drive.

  Regarding the replacement of the HARD disk, you are not restricted to a particular manufacturer, for example, the drive on the following link would be nice - (an important aspect to note is not to replace the disc with one of a capacity smaller than the original, because it often leads to problems when using recovery discs to reinstall the operating system).

  750 GB 2.5 "Sata II hard drive.

  The replacement procedure can be found starting on Page 70 of your & Maintenance Guide.

• EliteBook 8570p: hard drive: quick test failed

  Hi, I did a quick test on drive, but he can't.

  Below the results:

  Error ID: M09K3S 1PQ836 MFKSXF 60 T 203

  Product ID: A1L15AV

  500 GB

  In your opinion, is it necessary to change the hard drive? Is there another solution?

  Thank you

  Hi @87Federr!

  I'm sorry to say this, but your drive has failed and you need to replace it with another, which is the meaning of this error code of 24 characters.

  You always have access to the data stored on the disk? If you do, then save as much information as possible and look for a replacement drive. 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 yourself – please let me know.

  I hope this helps and good luck!

• 03F1 error hard drive at startup

  Hello guys

  Yesterday my friends and I were watching a movie on my laptop via a projector and all of a sudden it freezes, I've tried a few things (Im not completely reduced tech = P) but could not release it so I had to scramble the power button to turn it off and now everytime I restart it it gives me a screen front harddrive error screen (where the little colored balls dance and make the logo of the) window) to boot windows 7. He tells me the error is the number "03F1" and asks me to run the diagnostic, but every time I run it is stuck at 0% (I waited about 35 minutes, did not move a single percentage). After a few times, I just ignored the message and left without running diagnostic tests and my computer booted up fine... it doesn't seem to be a mistake.

  HP disk hard diagnosis is therefore out of the question, I went to run a few others offered by windows, the online version of the hard drive diagnosis and the results were very good... nothing seems to be tested in my hard drive and my computer is running without problems. However whenever I start I have to deal with this stupid screen and hitting a few keys for my pc at startup (I tried the diagnostic hard drive in the BIOs, it gets stuck at 00 as well for some reason any).

  Any ideas? I came across this post on the internet which is almost exactly the same as mine, I really want to get rid of this stupid screen if I do not have a hard drive failure... I mean that my laptop is like only 1 year.

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  Good day

  The reason is that some among thousands of hard drives fail. It is a fact of manufacturing. Did you just to get a bad. I hope that you used to backup important documents of external storage.

  You can try reinstalling the hard disk. If that doesn't have a positive result, then it is time to replace the hard drive with a new one and using your recovery media to recover your laptop back to the State in which he found himself out of the box.

  If your laptop is still under warranty, you can contact HP and was sent for warranty replacement request to have a replacement hard drive.
