Hard drive data from the sector error on desktop HP Pavilion magnesium grey Edition p6404y

I have a HP Pavilion p6404y desktop computer. I uninstalled and reinstalled the HP Support Assistant. When I run the wizard it tells me this - "WDC WD10 EADS-65M2B1 CMSS Disk Device-4 errors in data sectors make unusable sector." He suggested I have a scanner. If I run the quick scan, it ends and shows just as fine. If I run a full scan, it reaches 62% complete (i.e. 99% of the "left foot" criterion) and seems to freeze. I left alone for two hours to get that last percent of this test, then I just give up and cancel, so I was not able to complete a full scan.

Also, often, when I start my computer first, I get a screen that says: "one of your disks should be checked for consistency.

Then, he turns his thing and says it is finished and then starts.

It seems to be very slow all the time, too.

I also, lately, get a box saying my performance is slow, I want to move from Windows Aero to Windows basic to help performance.

So I wonder, my hard drive takes a dump, or what? This system is only two years old.

Thank you!

Hi techrex, I would say by restarting and pressing F9 to enter the Diagnostics screen and run diagnostics on your HARD drive.  If you get an error I'd say calling HP support to see what they suggest - could be that your HARD drive is on its way.

If this is the case, immediately save all your work, photos, emails, etc..  Make your recovery DVD (press F11 at startup and have up to 4 ready virgins of DVD quality to make your recovery disks.

If you need to replace the HARD drive yourself, it will be easy to recover the PC with your recovery discs.

Remember: use esd protection and always disconnect your PC from the network if you plan to open the chassis and replace the HARD drive or perform another task on your PC, like blowing any dust with a can of compressed air.

I would like to know if this suggestion helps.

  • Pavilion 15 ab128na: hard drive upgrade from the Pavilion 15-ab128na

    Hello

    I am buying a laptop computer ab128na Pavilion 15 and wanted to know about upgrade capabilities.

    It comes with a disc of M.2 256 GB SSD but it maybe a bit small. Is there room for an additional HARD disk drive (such as the gaming notebook pavilion)? So I, for example, M.2 256 GB SSD drive and a 1 TB HARD drive.

    Or the model allows only for 1 hard drive, so I have to replace the SSD drive, it comes with a larger capacity SSD?

    Thanks in advance

    Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    This manual explains Star Wars Edition and the 15-ab128na sharing the same internals with this model.

    The problem is if your laptop comes with just the MSSD m2 I don't think they understand the mounting kit for a 2.5-inch hard drive. You must purchase the part on the secondary market in some way.

    Kit hardware hard drive (supports and connector) 809296-001

    http://www.eBay.com/ITM/809296-001-HP-15-AB027CL-hard-drive-caddy-Kit-grade-A-/171992018156?hash=item280b85ecec:g:2SgAAOSw7hRWPoW0

    In addition, access to the hard drive Bay is a bit of a chore and put security at risk.

    But to directly answer your question, the laptop is designed to have a m2 and the SATA 2.5 inch disk at the same time.

    You could also install a HDD as pure storage using the slot of the DVD drive with an adapter. Of course, you lose the optical drive but I find myself with mine very rarely these days, anyway. Use of this Bay, the warranty will not be affected.

  • I try to start the old T2150CDT - error message "not found reading drive C of the sector.

    Hello

    I came by one of them and trying to fire, but I get the message, "sector not found reading drive C". I get this message just after windows 98 logo appears.

    Problem is that I am limited in what I can do, because I don't have a floppy drive and back does not recognize the CD drive (missing drivers); Although I can hear it when starting upwards.

    So I out the HARD drive and pasted the installation windows 98 inside files. then tried to reinstall, but I still have the message of "sector not found reading drive C". The drive is too large (it's about 2.1 GB.)

    Install the right drivers for the CD Rom would allow me to install from a CD?

    It works usually
    Thank you
    John

    As far as I know the error message; "Sector not found reading drive C" appears because of these three reasons:
    -physical HARD drive failure
    -corrupted HARD drive file system
    -Bad RAM

    In the first case, you should try to format the whole HARD drive and should try to install the new OS.
    If it will not help, chances are that HARD drive is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced.

    1. have you done any software or hardware changes on your computer before this problem?
    2. have you checked with another DVD drive?
    3. using the Windows backup feature to backup?
    4 do you have third-party backup programs installed on your computer?
     
    To work on the issue, refer to these methods.
     
    Method 1:
     
    Step 1:
     
    If it's a DVD I suggest trying to backup to an external hard drive and check to see if you get any errors.

    Step 2:
     
    Temporarily disable the antivirus software and check if you are able to perform the backup.

    Caution:
    Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    I bought a whole new office 27 "Mac provided with Adobe CS6. Everything worked like a charm until the 1 TB hard drive, developed a bad sector and the Apple Store reinstalled a new I had extended warranty with them. They are recycled the disc immediately (like crazy, I don't ask for this return to get the data off it.) But fortunately, I have all my data on CrashPlan. I downloaded it and it was working fine except that I downloaded it on the desk and not the original location so he had succeed. I also have an external 1.5 TB drive that I wanted to make it bootable, so I installed Mavericks 10.9.3. Then I advanced and installed on disk newly installed too.

    I think that because I have a new reader that adobe thinks, I have a new computer. I bought the 27 "Mac new on Ebay and it came loaded with the software, including CS6. I have a serial number for CS6, but Adobe says that it was not valid. (I've owned CS2 and CS4 now CS6 that came preloaded on the Mac by the seller who told me that the software has been registered for the Mac?

    I use a macbook air 2014 model and would like to know if I can boot the mac from an external hard drive rather than the inside. The reason to do this is to save space on the laptop and updates can be installed directly on the external hard drive.

    Is this possible? Forgive me, because I'm not that tech savvy. Thank you in advance!

    Yes. Install or clone of Mac OS X on it and then select it in the pane of the system preferences Startup disk.
