• Hard disk failure and recovery of the operating system

  I have a model p6310f desktop that had a hard drive failure.  I bought an SSD and install.  I looked for a recovery disk; However, I have not found one.  I was told that the recovery disc is on the hard drive in a separate partition.  Is this really the case?  If so, how can I access the recovery if the hard drive is still not recognized?

  Thank you

  Recovery media is available on your Support page. Scroll the list of the drivers/software to see the possibility of ordering.

  Be aware that recovery discs do not always work on an SSD - if the capacity is much smaller than the original hard drive and SSD size wasn't an option initially offered on your model. You could make your own Windows 7 installation dvd in this case, as long as you have the intact lable on cases with license key. Let me know if you want to try this option.

  Hello

  It all started when the computer would go blank right after startup, the HP logo would come upward, then 'auto repair preparation", more... Just empty. After reading the forums online, I did all the possible troubleshooting steps and at the end I did the SMART test... the result was:

  Verification of the processor: past

  Failure ID: RGD7MK-7HV7RC-9XJ16K-60BB03

  After obtaining these results, when I turn on the computer, it gives me a blue screen saying: drive SMART 1 error (301) and told me to test once again, that I did and got the same result as above.

  Here is some info from the computer:

  Model: HP Pavilion slimline 400-434

  Thanks for your help!

  Hi there @Brugalgirl

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff. I understand that your computer does not start successfully, and you found a Smart Drive 301 error code. I'm happy to help you with this.

  I checked the ID of the failure, you've posted and verifies that the error. Unfortunately, this means that your hard drive needs to be replaced.  In view of the fact that the system does not boot, it is likely that the hard drive is completely unreadable, but depending on what you have on this subject, it may be worth your while to check with a local computer service shop and see if they can help to recover data from your hard drive.

  If your system is relatively new and may be covered by the warranty, or if you wish to fix with HP for the guarantee system, you can call in hotline to make these arrangements. In this case, please use the following http://www.hp.com/contacthp and create a folder for your question and contact HP. If you do not live in the United States / Canada, please click on the link below to get contact information for your region.
  http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/contact-HP/WW-phone-assist.html

  Otherwise you can look at a replacement hard drive yourself. If you have a set of recovery media, then you already have a factory image HP, which allows you to put in place a new hard drive with your original operating system. If is no longer, you have a set or did not have a set of recovery media, so you can see if there are not yet available for your model.

• Hard drive failure and question graphic

  Hello

  I use Vista 64 bit. When I start my PC I get an error stating "detected hard disk failure. Please back up your data immediately. ». Then when I press on enter, vista starts booting. However, as soon as this happens my screen freaks out and becomes all pixelated and torn. The colors are mostly purple, red and blue. I have no idea what is the problem. I tried to reformat my hard drive, but it does not solve the problem. Also, I sometimes get an error blue solid screen telling me to contact the manufacturer. Unfortunately, the warranty has expired and I decided to try to fix it myself (mostly because the manufacturer said I was on my own).

  I only had the laptop for a year and worked a lot, until recently. I don't think I have a virus but I tried to install the new display drivers before this happened. I thought that this could be the problem, but I rolled back drivers, and after the reformat, nothing has changed.

  Hope I gave enough info, I really don't want to dropping $ 1,500 per year for a laptop a habit... Help, please!

  Your hard drive has failed or you have other components of the motherboard not too. You must replace dead components, do not try and reinstall anything. And it's a perfect example of why the couple of hundred dollars costs for an extended warranty on a laptop are a good thing. Here you have a laptop mostly newish which can have a dead motherboard and it will be very expensive to replace. You can buy a new portable hard drive, reinstall Windows and hope it is everything that was wrong with the computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  Help, please...

  Hi dynamitenews

   

  1. are you able to boot to the desktop?
  2. what happens when you try to start the computer?

   

  You must have the DVD drive to start the computer using the disk, you cannot use the external hard drive to do the same thing.

  Also I suggest you to make sure you have defined the start as CD/DVD-Rom as the first choice option in the BIOS. See below the help link-
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/BIOS-frequently-asked-questions

  If nothing is done, then you can contact the manufacturer support for assistance on setting up the correct boot sequence and check.
  
  BIOS WARNING-
  Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

   

  I hope this helps.

  Any help would be appreciated

  Hi mick,.

  > Also when I run the toshiba PC diagnostic tool, the hard drive failed the test.
  It would be also my staff believes that something is wrong with the HARD drive itself, I mean if the computer attempts to boot the HARD internal access and Windows boot disk, but if the computer can't find the HARD internal disk, it tries to boot from LAN

  According to me, please contact a service provider authorized in your country. Guys should check your HARD drive and replace it if necessary.
  In addition to backup all your data if you didn t it yet. Therefore, you can use an external USB HDD.
