hard disc BIOHD-7 error

Windows displays an imminent failure

When I ran the Hp diagnostics when starting it shows ERROR: BIOHD-7

I use a HP pavilion Silmline s3760in (windows vista)

Is there anyway to solve this problem without changing the hard drive?

I'll be able to use the recovery discs if I change the hard drive?

Dear customer,

Welcome to the Support Forum HP and we are happy to help you.

Looks like you are not able to start the operating system on your laptop.

We will surely help you with that.

According to the error message that you posted it is a hardware problem and drive hard need to be replaced

Please Contact HP if your HP laptop is under warranty, HP would replace the failed hard disk drive and provide recovery media to restore the operating system to factory after the replacement (if you have not yet created recovery disks/USB support)

You can also check your warranty here to check the status of the guarantee

Back up any personal data on an external drive if possible. Otherwise, you can connect the HDD defective via SATA USB adapter with another PC or a PC even after replacing the HARD drive & put in place of the operating system and try to copy / retrieve files.

Hope this helps, for other queries in response to the post and feel free to join us again

  • PC Doctor BIOHD-2 error code

    HP Pavilion FK484AV-ABA, model m4900t running windows 7 64 bit. The RAID-1 configuration.

    PC crashed. Cannot restart. Starting cold, received error message failure of RAID-1 and two hard drives. PC-Doctor ran and received the following diagnoses:

    Processor, memory, drives hard all OK.

    Diagnosis of startup path

    Error code: BIOHD-2

    ATTENTION: No disk is detected.

    Suggestion: Turn off the system and check the drive cables are attached firmly.

    Given that the PC-Doctor verified that both drives are OK, I'm assuming that the cables were also OK. Any suggestions on what may be the problem?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Go into the BIOS to see if the discs are recognized. Post your results here.

    This is an unusual condition for PC Doktor to report. Normally a BIOHD-2 error code means that a hard drive has failed, but I have no doubt that both drives failed at the same time.

  • HP Pavilion A6500f - product KQ495AA-ABA-BIOHD 3 error-DVD and HDD as SATA 3 & 4

    BIOHD 3 error when diags are run.  BIOS sees DVD / HDD SATA 4/3.  DED/HDD plugged in Sata 2/1. Only 4 Sata ports but bios sees Sata 1-6.  If I plug the DVD/HDD in Sata 4/3, then Bios considers Sata 6/5.  Failed to get 1/2 Sata to see all readers.  Replacement battery Cmos and tried clearing Cmos.  No help.  Suspect the original hard drive is good but the new hard disk was even no problem starting.  For the hard drive setup disk does not start on DVD if new hard drive can not be put in place.  Can select HDD or dvd in startup path but still does not start on dvd or hard drive.  Any ideas?

    SATA 3/4 are correct.  1/2 SATA are reserved for IDE devices.  A bad DVD player has caused the problem.  He was apparently suspended the bus and prevents the system from the bootable device recognition.  A new DVD SATA enabled to start and so to reload the operating system.

    BIOHD-8 error code.

    I read a few posts saying that the disc is bad, some say a motherboard, some say that the driver update.

    Any help appreciated to get this unit up and running to back up my files on the desktop!

    Thank you, Marty

    FYI and this can help other institutions; I went to a technical support at Staples for options.

    They checked the unit possibility of recovering files to the user free of charge.

    The Tech pulled the side cover, something plugged in and all my files reappeared on his monitor.

    Make a complete copy of all the files is $69.99 (on their records or to your external drive, takes a few days).

    I opted for the copy of all the files and they will check the disk drive in the process.

    In the meantime, I'll check your video instructions that you so graciously provided.

    Thanks & many congratulations!, Marty

  • Biohd-8 error in the drive

    One day I tried to install a window in my PC, then there was a problem occurred in slice, it was taking too long then I selects dignose option that appears in when we star the PC then trial was the beginning and on the second cd drive test it was a source of the error that has been BIOHD-8. I tried to remove it, but it had no effect on the error. Now what to do to remove this error?

    If you are referring to a BIOHD-8 error that has been the result of a disk tests hard, then that would indicate either failure or im waiting for the failure. Replace the hard drive with a new hard drive or SSD that is compatible with your desktop computer.

    Please explain what you mean by 'the second test cd player '.

  • An error occurred in consolidating the discs: msg.snapshot.error - DUPLICATEDISK.

    Try to remove some snapshot using vSphere, it fails.

    Tried to turn off the virtual machine. Create a new one and then consolidate but it fails.

    «An error occurred by consolidating the discs: msg.snapshot.error - DUPLICATEDISK.»

    Any ideas?

    Do not know what is happening, I understand that the snapshots are in a bad state for a reason I don't understand, however, I just want to remove all the.

    Ultimately that I restored a backup that comes with Veeam this backup did not have snapshots but was the most recent copy.

    Restore the virtual machine, and there is no instant, there was no need to consolidate.

    Some people said that to fix the error, you must fix the instantaneous chain. Which is probably a particularly risky and complex process with multiple nested snapshots. I have this mark as resolved, but if someone wants to contribute on how to fix this problem manually, or simply to force a fresh copy and to ignore snapshots please post and share.

    Thank you

  • HP Pavilion a6645f no hard drive detected BIOHD-2 error

    1st off I'm no computer expert... so I really have no idea what I'm doing, but I've been looking online to the best of my ability and try everything that I have seen that I can understand how to solve the problems.

    First of all, I got the cursor flashing at the top left of a black screen, now I get the boot failure message, insert the disc... I did that dance together and nothing comes of it.  Error cannot be fixed with the scan that it allows me to do using the system disk, I did.

    I managed to access a screen that informed me that I have this error BIOHD-2, no hard drive not detected.

    It's a Seagate Barracuda HD 500 GB 7200.11

    I removed the Panel and went there... insured all caps were closed, tried a different SATA port... and when I go into the BIOS I can not get the comp to recognize any HD is connected... all read 0 MB.

    From my research I found information contradictory on this... some sound like its without a doubt a HD - sound problem is, some say it could be a motherboard problem?  Is - it necessarily one or the other based on the info I gave?  I read that I should try to connect the HD to another PC with a SATA port, but this will affect any PC I plug it somehow? Let's say another computer detects the HD when I look in the BIOS, I'll be able to extract all the files and programs from there? How will I know if the motherboard is the issue and not the HD? As ports have bad or the taking of the HD to the motherboard maybe? It is even probable, if yes?

    What if it is the HD, and I can install an old HD work? Is there a way I could try to extract anything from the Seagate which is in there now?  Unfortunately, the only things that I backed up on an external are some pictures and a few digital scrapbooking files.

    Still, I'm NOT a computer person so half may not even be English in computer science, but I hope I made sense. Laughing out loud

    Oh, and I'm no longer in warranty... HP told me when I called this past weekend when it happened. PC is about 3 or 4 years... don't remember not that December it was bought in.

    Thanks to all those who have actually tried to read and give a sense of my mess

    semperfibc,

    Thank you for your service.

    Several years ago, Seagate had a problem of firmware with the Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 drives. The reader would cease all features. Your beyond any warranty on this drive, and have no options that are financially reasonable.

    Now, you need to install a replacement drive.

    I hope you did your ONCE one Recovery DVD. Otherwise, you will need to buy them from HP.

    You can try an external SATA to USB box with this old disc, but there is no guarantee.

  • Error on Satellite A200 of hard disc

    I have a Satellite A200 which has a hard drive error on a critical reading windows file. I tried to load the recovery CD and it goes to a point and crashes. Is there a way I can reformat or force a reformat the C: drive? Any help gratefully received. Under Windows XP. Bill.

    Hello!

    I agree with Akuma. If your HARD drive is defective sectors they can t be repaired and the only way is to swap the HARD drive.
    But before you exchange the brand HARD drive of course she has bad sectors and operate the Drive Fitness Test.

    In addition, I recommend making a backup of all important files on the HARD drive, such as photos, documents and to this day.

    But don t worry, s HDD are cheap these days so it s not an expensive repair. ;)

    Good bye
