Hard drive 1 Quick Test Failed 303 G50: next steps/go ahead

HP G50-133US

OS: Windows Vista.

Today, after having some problems with the loading of the features of Firefox (i.e. the application Firefox itself, not internet issues), I met a blue screen.  I forgot the exact terms, but I think it was a kernel fault any.  (Must have written those...)  Now it hangs at startup of Windows Vista "loading bar" and does not start in the operating system.  I remember no unusual physical disruption (it drops hard, etc. - this laptop is still essentially in one place all the time, and I am careful enough with my computers).

I ran the first disc hard test, and it reports:

#10008-disque hard to replace 1 and SMART drive past.

It gives the result: failed hard drive FAST (303) 1.

After my preliminary research, this means that the hard drive is a failure, and I need to replace the drive. I can boot into Ubuntu from a live disc and still access my hard drive with all the files it contains.  I don't want to copy these files (300 + GB, etc.) on a drive that started in Ubuntu while external.

My big question at this point:

If I replace the hard drive and copy that all files back on, is it likely that Windows will start again?  At present, it does not start. For me, this means that there is probably a file system missing or inaccessible, or etc.  But, if I just copy all the data to a new disk, this file will always be missing. that makes it sound like copy all files on the drive would not allow me to recover my Windows installation.  Is this the case?  (Or, it is dependent on situation and cannot be determined?)

Hi apnorton,

Just copy the files from the old HD on the new HD make bootable and you cannot boot into Windows using this player.

The solution is to use a recovery disc for your model of laptop reinstall Windows Vista (I hope you do when you got the PC and have always them around), which will put the operating system in the State of the PC came from the factory.

Otherwise, you could install the OS of Microsoft installation media, but you will probably need a new key system to take this path.

Good luck!

    Hello

    Yes, you can use your friend recovery media in your. It should work.

    I'm not able to find a recovery media for your model of third-party vendors too.

    No, you can't create USB recovery by plugging the old drive as external references to another PC. You have to use HP application recovery manager supplied with your laptop and create a set. I think that you will not be able to do from a failing drive.

    Hello

    Your laptop is listed as coming with a HARD drive from 640 GB, but given that there is little difference in cost, you can replace this with a 750 GB option.

    The player at the link below is an example of one that would be perfect for your laptop.

    750 GB hard drive for laptop.

    The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 64 of your maintenance & Service Guide.

    ***************************************************************

    Regarding the reinstallation of the operating system, you can create your own installer of Windows 7 USB drive flash as follows.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    Using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below--these Images are of a very respected source (Digital River).

    Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

    Once completed, use the Microsoft Tool on the following link to create a USB bootable Windows 7 installer - you will need a 4 GB flash for this drive.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    When creating, tap away at the esc you key start Notepad to open the Start Menu.  Insert the Windows 7 flash player.  Select the Boot Options menu (usually f9).  Use the arrow keys to select the flash drive and press ENTER.

    If your laptop will boot from it, use the flash player to perform the installation, enter the activation key for Windows on the label of the COA in the request and once the installation is complete, use the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want just a new installation of Windows 7 without the software load extra normally delivered with OEM installations.

    Hello

    Error code 24 characters for the failure of disk Self Test (DST) short would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.  This corresponds also to the inability to load the OS.

    If your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange for the disk replaced - you can check the status of your warranty here.

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

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

    Hello

    Your laptop is listed as coming with a 750 GB 5400 RPM hard drive, but you can replace this with a 750 GB 7200 RPM HARD drive for a little more performance - the reader on links below is an example that would be perfect for your laptop.

    750 GB hard drive.

    The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 52 of your & Maintenance Guide.

    Once this is done, simply use your recovery media 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 media, you can order a replacement set using the link below (I assumed the model No., you live in the United Kingdom).

  • Satellite L750 - receive messages from ordinary this HARD drive is about to fail

    I have a laptop of PSK2YA - 04K 010 L750 Satellite.
    I get regular messages that my hard drive is about to fail.
    I backed up all my important stuff.
    I did not the recovery discs until I started getting these messages.
    I've been able to create a windows repair disc & also recorded an image of the hard drive on an external hard drive with no problem.

    I bought and installed a Western Digital 750Go WD7500BPKT hard drive replacement.
    I tried to do a system restore using the image I created on my external hard drive
    "I get the following message appears a few seconds after the start of the reimage" the operation failed because of a device error encountered with the source or the destination. (0x8078012D)

    I reassembled the original hard drive & make a set 4 DVD discs using the Toshiba Recovery shortcut.
    I put the Western Digital drive HARD back in & run these discs. Disk1 ran right to the end, then put in disk2 wouldn't do anything, the drawer of the DVD would keep opening asking me to put in the disk.
    Don't really know where to go now & am hoping to get a few ideas from people in the know or have been here before.

    HHHHeelp please

    > I tried to do a system recovery using the image I created on my external hard drive

    How did you create this image?

    > I put the Western Digital drive HARD back in & run these discs. Disk1 ran right to the end, then put in disk2 wouldn't do anything, the drawer of the DVD would keep opening asking me to put in the disk.

    It looks like the 2nd disc can be read correctly or the 2nd disc was not created correctly.

    I first recommend you to clean the lens of the laser of the reader of CD/DVD alcohol or cotton tip.
    Then try to run the installation by using the recovery disk once more.
    In case this isn't possible, your recovery disk is defective.

    If the recovery disk that is faulty, you have an option to order here:
    http://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

    The 2nd option would be clean Microsoft Windows disk usage.
    Missing drivers may be downloaded from the Toshiba UE driver page.

    Below the results:

    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!

  • Pavilion g6: Hard Drive check: short DST failed

    DST = disk Fail hard drive has not failed and must be replaced. If you are still in warranty HP will send a replacement. If this is not the case, a laptop SATA hard detail can be used. Just be sure to get a quality at least equal the original in order to use recovery disks. It may be big, but not small ability more. For example if you have a 500 GB hard drive you can use a 750 GB hard drive, but not a 320 GB hard drive.

  • HP 2000: Hard Drive DST short verification failed.

    Hello. Since last Monday, my laptop froze on me, which forced me to hard stop. When I tried to turn it back on, it takes me to the HP logo with the rotation of the circle, but it doesn't take me anywhere. When I waited 5 minutes, a really quick blue screen pulls up with a sad face emoticon, saying: "your PC has encountered a problem and needs to restart." We are only collecting the error information, and then we'll restart for you"(I took a photo of it the second time I restarted and this post pulled up to read since the message was for a second). So that it restarts and pulls up the HP logo with a message saying "automatic repair". After a few seconds, it brings me to a black screen that takes me anywhere I left on for about 2-3 hours (I had work) and she still had the black screen. I tried to go to Safe Mode, still need me "Auto repair" and black screens. I searched the Internet for help, one of them told to press F2 at startup so it can pull up a menu to analyze the material. When I went to System Tests > extended Test, it took 3 minutes or more to complete, saying that he failed. The information there was:

    Hard Drive check short DST: FAILURE

    Failure ID: Q0ADB0-6RX7MQ-MFGJWK-60RW03
    Product ID: E0M14UA #ABA

    I'm currently waiting on my repair disc since some sites it suggested before a factory restore. I really hope it is not a complete restoration, many of my school files and important data are there. The repair disk is going to help me, or is there another solution before a full restore? Thank you.

    Edit: I was wondering if I actually do a full on my computer restore if all else fails, is still a possibility for me to back up my data, even if I can't get past the boot? Is it possible to do this action in the menu entry? As the menu of the BIOS, etc? If the material does not affect the memory, or if they are identical.

    DST check: Fail = disk hard drive has failed and will need to be replaced. If you are still in warranty HP will send a replacement. If this is not the case, a laptop SATA hard detail can be used. Just be sure to get a quality at least equal the original in order to use recovery disks. It may be big, but not small ability more. For example you have a > 500 GB hard drive , so that you could use a 750 GB but not a 320 GB hard drive.

    Your files may be lost. The best hope to recover them will be to remove the drive hard, install it in one >USB HDD Enclosure, then plug it into the usb port of a working computer. If there is any life left in the drive, you should be able to go through it and copy files off the power on a hard drive of the host computer.

    Your > & Maintenance Guide will help to remove/replace the hard drive.

    Please make sure that you get at least equal as long as the original one in order to use recovery disks. If you need you can buy a bigger, but not smaller hard drive capacity. For example, if you have a 500 GB hard drive you can improve it to 750 GB hard drive, but not 320 GB hard drive
