failure of the targeted reading test and smart short self-test

I have over problems with my computer is - it related to software or hardware?

Please advice

  • The purpose of S.M.A.R.T. is to warn a user of imminent drive failure while there is still time to take action, such as copying the data to a replacement unit.

The above is an excerpt from the article below:

S.M.A.R.T.
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.

The thread below from Windows SevenForums describes possible solutions:

Windows 7 - SMART short self-test fail
 http://www.SevenForums.com/hardware-devices/148900-smart-short-self-test-fail.html

I strongly suggest you to immediately perform a backup of all your personal files, data, and anything else that is important for you to external media (an external IMO is better but you can also use CD/DVD or a USB flash drive) until the hard drive breaks down.

Kind regards

    It is likely that you will need to replace the hard drive.  To confirm, press F12 at startup, enter the Dell diagnostics.  Run an extended hard drive test.

    If the system is under warranty, logs the error and contact Dell for a replacement drive.

    If the system is out of warranty, any standard 3.5 "SATA drive will work as a replacement.

    Hello Atelier42, this usually indicates that you have a hard disk failure.

    I would like to back up my data as soon as possible, just in case the hard drive breaks down actually.

    You must also make sure that you have the HP Recovery restore set for your system recovery disc in case you do not want to replace the hard drive.

    With this restore HP Recovery disk set, you could replace a defective hard drive and use this disk set to your HP system back as it was when shipped. Then, you could put your data saved on your system.

  • SMART short Self Test Failed - (error code: WHD16-8NR)

    Hi all

    I had my XPS L520X for 4 years and 2 months. I've never had a problem with its operation until last week. Randomly, it restarted and came with the PCI Realtek issue when it restarts.

    To cut a very long story short Fault find it which is going on, I reinstalled the entire operating system, including formatting of the hard drive.

    The problem of the laptop different freeze/crash and reboot with erros while doing normal tasks has not been resolved.

    I have run the Dell support center software and it shows the auto SMART test failed with the following code (error code: WHD16-8NR).

    I also went in the BIOS BOOT MENU by pressing F12 at startup and ran diagnostics that seemed to have said everything going, however I saw a mistake, faliure in its process that was too fast for me to write the error.

    In a nutshell, my thought is that my hard drive has failed / is corrupted or is about to fail.

    My simple question is, do I need a new hard drive with the information I've provided?

    Thank you very much!

    To all those who read this topic:

    I rang Dell directly and they confirmed my hard drive needs to be replaced.

    8792 power over time, I think that its actually me good.

    Hello

    It simply means: the HARD drive is about to die. Please save all your data if you could and be prepared to replace the HARD drive. Is your machine still under warranty? If so, please contact HP for replacement

  • XPS12 SMART short self-test fail WHD16 LY6

    "When you run the Dell ' Checkup" utility on the SSD drive, the drive will fail with:

    SMART short self-test fails WHD16 LY6

    The remaining tests are ignored. The suggestion is to update the firmware. However, my drive is:

    LITEONIT LMT-256M6M 256GB mSATA

    and I can only find firmware on the Dell site for both LITEONIT SSD 256 GB drives, or precisely what mine are. (Only LITEONIT LCS-256M6S 2.5 256 GB and LITEONIT LMT-256M3M MSATA 256Go are listed).

    I have the latest drivers for the disk (9Q23_Storage_Driver_X6KKJ_WN_11.5.0.1207_A01. (EXE)

    Are there available firmware, and if so where is it please? Otherwise, what is the next step?

    Thank you.

    Thanks, EJN - F12 diagnostics appear clean. I guess that I'm worried about this then.

  • SMART short self-test - on the second hard drive

    HP Pavilion Elite e9270t - 3 yrs old, Win7.

    Became the error SMART self-test short the original drive so I installed a replacement and transferred files.

    I get the same error on the second h/d. I have my doubts that the second disk is having the exact same error and wonder if the s/w test is actually the problem.

    It could very well be the connectors that gives you the question instead of the HARD drive itself. I would run the HARD drive test in BIOS instead of the short test.

    Try this:

    1. Plug the AC adapter into the computer if it is not already connected.
    2. Turn off the computer and wait five seconds.
    3. Press the power button to start the computer and repeatedly press the F10 key to enter the BIOS Setup menu.
    4. Use the right arrow or left arrow keys to navigate the menu selection to find the Auto test primary hard drive option. Depending on your BIOS, it is under diagnoses or tools.
    5. Select self-test primary hard drive, and then press the Enter key to start the test.

    The hard drive self test performs a Quick Test , followed by a complete Test. During each test, the window displays a status bar and a scheduled for completion

  • The current state of the target is down and it displays red arrow down in OEM 12 c. But in fact the database is running

    Hi all

    my instance of database shows down in OEM 12 c but in fact the database is running and status of the listener is unknown. What steps should I take to make the database appear?

    FYI,.

    The error is:

    The current state of the target is down. (I checked events tab in the incident handler here, it is showing error as "inaccessible agent (reason = unable to connect to the agent to https://sunshine.mad:3872/emd/main / [connection refused]).") host is accessible.

    A week before I made switch to digital, the basics of data, is that this is the reason why it shows this error? do we need to change any configuration after switching to the databases on OEM 12 c. at this point time of the database instance shows down and the listener to the top but suddenly the database and listener went wrong.

    Please help me, give your suggestions in this regard.

    Verify that the agent is in place and suggested downloading like Antonio. For the target of the database, the home page, go to the (Oracle database > Configuration target >) Configuration of the analysis page, check the monitoring parameters are correct and do a test connection. You can check the parameters of surveillance for the target of the listener as well.

    Kind regards
