  Hard drive 1

  This mean that my hard drive is actually dead and replacement needs? If so is anyway to recover my files and what model of hard drive can I replace it with?

  Any help would be great

  Thank you

  Hello

  The drive Self Test (DST) short error seems to indicate the hard drive is faulty and must be replaced.

  Regarding your existing files, a possible way to try to recover your files from a disk non-boot is following the process described in the link below.  The CD of the Ubuntu operating system you create can run from the CD alone (IE it doesn't have to be installed on the hard drive) and I've often found to successfully extract data even a hard failure.  When you created the CD, follow the instructions and see if you can save your existing files.

  Replacing the hard drive is a fairly simple procedure.

  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 Page 55 of your & Maintenance Guide.

  Once this is done, simply use your recovery DVDs to reinstall the operating system on the new drive - see here for more details.

  If you do not have your recovery discs, you can order a replacement set using the link below.

  Order HP recovery disks.

  If you have a problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

• My hard drive died. A new hard drive has Windows 7 preloaded?

  Hello world

  I have a laptop HP G62-225DX with Windows 7. My hard drive died. I think to buy a new one. A new hard drive for HP already installed Windows 7, or I have to buy Windows again?

  Hello

  A new HARD drive will have no operating system - you'll need to use your set of recovery disks to install Windows 7 on disk.  The procedure is detailed in the document of HP here.

  If not create you these discs or have lost them, you can order a replacement set using the link below - the cost varies a bit depending on where in the world you live, but they are generally inexpensive.

• Well hard drives as a replacement for Satellite Pro L300-1 b 9 unit?

  Can I use any SATA 2.5 "portable HARD drive as a replacement disk or the Toshiba marked those are suitable exclusively?

  > Could I use any SATA 2.5 "portable HARD drive as a replacement disk or the Toshiba marked those are suitable exclusively?

  Yes, usually all 2.5 SATA hard drives must be compatible, since the SATA controller is compatible and even if you want to use a SATA II or SATA III HARD drive, the laptop must be able to manage this device.
  But of course, the performance would be limited to SATA I

• How can I identify a defective internal hard drive to be replaced on a macpro in early 2009

  How can I identify a defective internal hard drive to be replaced on a macpro 2009 beginning el capitan running

  A good starting point is the Information System (Option while clicking the Menu Apple key). At the hardware level, click on Express SATA/SATA and look for the SMART State in the bottom right pane for each HD listed in the upper pane right. Unless the State is OK, looks like not verified. If the drive is totally dead, search for a missing list for a drive Bay, you know is filled.

• HP Recovery Kit will re - install Vista if hard drive has been replaced?

  Hello everyone, this is my first post so I hope that I understand.

  I bought a HP Pavilion s3050uk of second hand compact office, product number RY930AA.

  The only OS on it is a trial version of Windows 7 Ultimate, little time to expire.  I knew when I bought but I was just able to reinstall Vista Home Premium using the HP Recovery Kit and the number of product key from the COA on the PC sticker.

  However, I think now that the HARD drive has been replaced at some point - my machine has a 200 GB (Seagate ST3200822AS ATA) and I think that these machines haven't shipped with a 250 GB?  Now, I'm worried that I will pass on the recovery kit but it won't reinstall Vista because the hardware has been changed.  If it is probably the case of others has experience then I may as well save my money (which is very tight at the moment, where the 2nd hand PC) and put it toward the purchase of an operating system package full.

  Hope someone is able to advise me.

  Thank you

  Stephen

• I can't find my external hard drive under 'Computer' but it appears in "Devices and printers" How can I access files on my external hard drive?

  I can't find my external hard drive in "computer".

  I just bougth a new HP computer running Windows 7.  I just copied a bunch of movie files, music and photo of my old Mac (OSX Leopard) on a Western Digital external hard drive.

  I plugged the external drive in my HP via USB 2.0 on the front of the computer.  Windows recognizes the drive.  She appears in the Panel of external control/hardware and Sound/devices and printers as "HARD disk".

  It does not appear in 'Computer' under 'devices with removable storage ".

  I just want to get to my files so I can copy them to my new computer.  How to access my files on the external hard drive?  Why isn't he appear in 'computer '?

  Hello ShamedMonkey,

  Thank you for your message.  The problem you are having is because of differences in formatting between PC and Mac.  You can, however, transfer your files between the two.  I will set out what must be done under and limitations of each.
  First, you will need to format the drive on your PC.  When you format the PC, you can format it in FAT32 or NTFS.
  (You mentioned that you do not see the drive in the computer) To format drive:
  Click 'Start' > right click on 'Computer' > select 'manage '.
  Click on "disk management".
  In the right pane, you should see your drive > you can then do a right click and 'format '.
  FAT32:
  This format will allow you to easily transfer files between the two.  This format becomes problematic when you transfer files more than 4 G.  There is a limit of 4 GB in FAT32, etc. of many movies are bigger than that and cannot be transferred using this format.
  NTFS
  This format has no size limitation, however, in its normal state it will be 'Read only' on Mac.  If you will not be able to transfer all the data itself.  While doing some research on the web, it seems that you can use a program called MacFuse on your Mac to change to NTFS files.  I have not confirmed this, but you can give it a try.  If this program works as planned, it would be the way to go.
  Please let us know if it did or did not solve your problem.
  See you soon

• My hard drive has been replaced. I want to restore a backup made on an external drive, using Windows backup software.

  I get to the step "to install the management of removable storage on Windows Server 2008

  1. Click Control Panel and then click on Administrative Tools.
  2. Open Server Manager, navigate to the features summary section and click add features.

  It is the section on the recovery of an old version of Windows.  My situation is all on Windows Vista.  Maybe I shouldn't use these intstructions.

  When I get to this step I can't find Server Manager.  I opened everthing under admin tools, and there is nothing that looks like this.

  If I go to this issue the wrong way, what should I do next?  The system has recognized my hard drive on Windows Explorer, but when I said retrieve the backup, it says that there is no backup file.
