• Planned hard drive failure - BIOHD-7 error code

  I inherited this machine to a family member when they panicked after seeing the error message... Hard drive failure... back up your data and replace your drive.  According to the newspapers, the drive does not have a single "smart test.  I'm not convinced that the player is in danger of failure - especially if it didn't happen in the three months since the first error.  Is it possible to 'clear' this error so he'll leave me to press F2 to start?

  If you value your data, then buy a new drive hard $50.

• Replacing the hard drive and Recovery console repair turns into a nightmare of activation

  I took the hard drive of a computer dell laptop is no longer used and put it in my current toshiba laptop (in which the hard drive was dead prior).

  I had my laptop to accept the hard drive by using the recovery console and do a chkdsk with the repair option. After repairs the laptop now wants to be activated.

  So now I use my laptop with a hard drive built to a dell computer. Of course, I uninstalled all the bloatware and replaced all the drivers with the right. the hard drive works fine with my laptop. This isn't the problem.

  My problem is that windows will not activate. It is a genuine copy of windows xp home edition, purchased from dell. I got through all of the activation methods and they tell me that the installation id is invalid. I'm basically a big circle with phone support to web support.

  If my product key is known to be valid for windows xp family when he was on the hard drive in the computer dell laptop, why is it not valid when traded to the computer toshiba laptop and why used someone help me with this problem. I can't be the only one that this has happened?

  as a reminder, swapped a hardrive is no longer in use of the computer, a work computer. has ran chkdsk to fix disk errors, after reboot windows is enabled is no longer and requires activation. Activation Assistant will not accept the installation as id being valid and would call support, when I go to real profit online to activate it also error. How can I activate this well-known work product id? I'm not hacking because he is no longer in use, basically, I am on a windows xp home edition right now and nobody will help me.

  Thanks in advance

  The hard drive Dell has a "Dell" OEM of Windows XP version and a "Dell" product key (and might even be locked BIOS) that will not work on your Toshiba.

  As with all versions once installed on a computer/motherboard OEM it cannot be moved to another PC.

• hard drive failure - means following error: failure ID 9cw77a-5km5t8-xd002k - 60s 903?

  Hello

  For 6 months, I have HP Pavilion dv6 3180ec, Win7 64 bit running.

  Recently the laptop itself restarted several times over the past two days with a hard disk failure message (blue screen); After the reboot, a hard drive diagnostic was requested however never properly started... Run the test from BIOS and I have following error message:

  Hard drive test failed

  Failure ID: 9CW77A-5KM5T8-XD002K - 60S 903

  (interesting is that the SMART test successfully)

  Someone knows, is the gravity of failure? HARD drive change is necessary? I would avoid the situation to send it to HP customer service to guarantee control and have no laptop for a month, that guys will not suffer the same problem (actually even if I now write the post on this laptop - and without everything again...)

  Hello

  If this isn't a SMART error, this will be a failure of the drive Self Test short or long and really would indicate that the drive needs to be replaced.  There is no need to have to send the laptop, as if you contact HP to get a new HARD drive to be shipped to you under warranty, the player will be sent to you - you normally pay a guarantee that it will be refunded when you return the defective HARD drive.

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

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

  The procedure to replace the HARD drive appears from Page 55 of your & Maintenance Guide.

• Office Paviliion p6610f: Hard Drive failure Imminent seek error rate

  
  

  Considering that you have backups and a failure, I would consider replacing the drive.  Drives 1 TB are relatively expensive and you can be on your way by restoring the backup information.  IMHO, it is not worth taking more chances on the old disk.

  According to the answer by a representative of Dell here:

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/p/19467468/20188938.aspx

  It seems that the error means what it says - the hard drive has gone bad and should be replaced.

  I highly recommend that you only backup your data to another drive immediately and then contact Dell for confirmation about the error and advice on the best course of action.

  Hi Carolinelightfoot,

  This error message occurs when the system could not read and write data to the registry file. The error indicates a problem with the registry.

  Method 1:

  You can run a Checkdisk to see if there are drive errors that can cause this problem.

  Check your hard drive for errors

  Note: When you run the disk check, there is a chance of losing the data that you can take a backup of important data before you run checkdisk.

  Method 2:

  You can also try to boot from a full version of Windows Vista installation disc and try to perform a restore of the system to WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment)

  What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

  Hope this information is useful.

• Satellite Pro P200 - Smart error "imminent hard drive failure".

  Hello! I wonder if someone can help me.

  Start the computer, the other day the S.M.A.R.T diagnostic program came suddenly on saying a "hard drive failure may be imminent," when I open the Intel Matrix Storage console, it says that the hard drive in port 0 has had a S.M.A.R.T event recorded against him but that of port. 2 is 'normal '.

  Port 0 is the volume of the operating system on it and if so what would be the best way to back up the disk and what someone knows how to change the hard drive and how much approximately would this cost?

  Thanks for any help inadvance.
  Paul.

  Hello!

  In my opinion, you should back up all the data as quickly as possible. In the worst case you could HARD drive might completely die and then you are not able to save the data on it.

  After that you should swap the HARD drive. It s depending on the model of HARD drive you buy how much it will cost but drives hard are not so dear to our days. I think that it will be possible to get one for 50 Euros.

  Good bye

  The SMART drive test produces a prediction on the risk of hard drive failure, not a real failure.

  A warning to SMART disk error can appear for various reasons such as having been jarred abruptly computer or hard drive, be subject to the higher than usual temperature.

  Perform HP hard drive - wide test of the system BIOS Diagnostics shortly after switching on, tapping F10/F2

  If there are any Smart player or hard failure error you see, Hard Drive is a failure and the solution is to replace the drive.

  It would also be very wise to make sure that you back up all your files etc as soon as possible.

  Thank you

• Satellite L655D-011-HDD/SSD Alert, HARD drive failure?

  I have an old L655D-011 of 6 months and yesterday it started to appear with the message to back up my files because there is a problem with my HARD drive. Well, after having a technical support in the past, I don't give that easily and simply run my laptop to the nearest authorized service center. Instead, I help out.

  I did the BIOS update finally. No change in question.
  Finally had time to create a recovery media. No problem with that at all.
  I reformatted. No change in question.
  Checked the health monitor. It shows that my HARD drive is "good". Yet, when I double-click the icon, I get a pop - up with the following message:

  "Toshiba HDD/SSD Alert."

  Disk0

  Your HARD drive is SMART failure to predict which monitors the status of operation of the HARD drive. Your HARD drive is facing a problem and CHIP controlling the software predicts that the HARD drive will fail. Toshiba strongly recommends that you create a back-up to the date of your HARD drive. Contact an authorized service provider to check your drive and buy a new replacement if necessary. »

  So, after that I decided to run a CHKDSK /f /r. Result: 'windows replaced bad clusters in file name \hiberfil.sys 44990.'

  I should be good to go, right? N ° same problem with the precaution of backing up my files.

  But this isn't good, is it? If my HARD drive is about to fail why monitor health show that everything is "good"? There is no problem with gel, pxe.boot errors, rattling disc, unusual vibrations or read/write failures.

  So, my questions (after all the above and see other threads to ask questions about HARD drive failure messages) are: were there any known issues where the SMART software does not work correctly? Are failure drives hard all from the same manufacturer (I've seen this happen - get a bad batch of a single manufacturer HARD drive)? The health monitor working correctly?

  In my opinion your questions cannot be answered simply.
  > Are there any known issues where the SMART software does not work correctly?
  How many people must confirm that they have the same problem? I guess this happens from time to time, but you cannot say that this problem is known.
  You will always find people who noticed the same issue and not on Toshiba forum only, but on all the forums where people discuss cell phones in general.
  > Is the disk failure hard all from the same manufacturer (I've seen this happen - get a bad batch of a single manufacturer HARD drive)?
  How to check or confirm this?

  You know, during the first backup all your important data, watch carefully what happens the next few days. If the info appears again and again, contact the nearest service Toshiba and let them Exchange the HARD drive.
  The guarantee is valid and it will be free of charge.

• Hard drive failure? Is it hopeless?

  I need help with my computer. It is a HP Pavilion p6510y desktop PC, running on Windows 7. I fear failure real hard drive, but I hope that I contracted a nasty virus and can somehow get rid of it and find my computer. It has been down for more than a year. Here is a picture of a blue screen, I get:

  

  So a little history on the situation: I bought this for College, I thought back to the fall of ' 09, but the release date on the specifications said 10 may therefore in any event, the model is around 4 years. I was not and am still not a computer person. I now learn exponentially, but as a younger kid, I've been remiss. I've ever used antispyware, malware, or antivirus prevention, preventing the security provided with the computer, I doubt that I've never used any protection.

  I also lost my manuals, disks, etc. Once again, carefree.

  Around a year ago, my computer started to act weird. I turned it on one day to see all my pictures have disappeared! Turns out that they were only hidden, so that made me think that it was a virus or malicious software affecting the computer. Shortly after, I started to have messages from the computer saying that I had a hard drive failure. I bought an external hard drive, made a comeback to the top, then performed a system recovery. After that, my computer fails to start. I don't remember what I did (it's been a year or more now), but I managed to get it to start, go to identify and exploit, load and after a time interval (no specific time. Sometimes it lasts ten minutes, sometimes he can walk for an hour) the Tower gets very strong (maybe fan? I hope not the hard drive, but I don't even know if they make sounds?) and the blue screen on the photo above appears with the sound.

  Possible other factors: I have a son who loves quite turn the computer off mid-treatment. Until my computer started failing, he managed to do this several times. He also likes the machine moving, then maybe that the hard drive is damaged if it was shaken during writing(terminology?).

  What computer knowledge can I? Very few things. I've been looking to start. I learned that a hard disk is a metal disc on which data are recorded by a small arm. It makes me nervous that the machine has been handled carelessly and the disc (or discs?) are damaged.

  I'm a continuous search, my next step is to download the manuals from hp for the computer to browse it for error codes and see if I can determine the issue, which is just something that I read is possible online.

  If I can fix this thing myself, I want to. I am determined. I'm eager to learn. I am not aware of the systems and parts currently, but with basic descriptions that I can learn. I have not understand the complex jargon, so in the answers please use simplified terms and specific actions or provide detailed explanations so that I can grasp concepts more complex and intermediate.

  Hi Tessla, welcome to the forum.

  The results of your tests indicate that the hard disk has failed and that it would need to be replaced.  Backup your data before it goes completely.  Did you create recovery discs when you got the computer, otherwise you can order them from services the customer of HP:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/bph07143

  If you feel adverturous and would like to change the player you see this site for help:

  The specifications of your computer indicates he had 750 GB SATA 7200 RPM, the new hard drive should be no less than that.

• Hard drive failure is imminent and must be replaced

  HP TouchSmart 610-1020 has

  Windows 7 Home Edition Premium--> Windows 8

  Hi there, since a terrible week for me I started to receive the error message:

  Hard drive failure is imminent and must be replaced

  only when am re - / from my PC.

  I made a backup already a few days ago (space available was already 85% - did not much), run all those disk cleanup, defragmentation, analyze and verify programs and there was nothing wrong. I ran all possible controls and it had nothing recorded. I've updated / installed Windows 8 which works perfectly without any problems, no computer crash or that it is, but only sometimes receive a message saying that I need to run/shedule a back, etc.

  As I already mentioned, there was no disk error, no other problems known but still get the message "hard drive failure is imminent and should be replaced" and crazy!

  My questions are:

  (1) what on Earth is happening, there is always a problem with touch smart PC; should he stay away all in a desktop PC and just buy older versions - separate screen and tour, etc.?

  (2) I have no problem and continue to use my PC but wonder what will happen; It will be down, it's just a false error message, what should I do?

  (3) if I have to take it to a service, what should I take care of?

  Thank you for taking your time and wil appreciate for your posts about.

  Hello

  What has happened is that the CHIP system reports told you that your hard drive will fail little time. It is good that you have saved.  The fault lies not in all of your PC, but in a single component, namely the hard disk. You own your PC like one year standard warranty is longer.

  You need to buy a hard drive with the following specifications. It of time to find your recovery disc as you need to recover your PC in its delivered State and then apply the upgrade 8 to win again. You can install it yourself or have done by a qualified PC store or from an HP Service Technician. The HP service center is the most expensive option.

  You can avoid having to use the recovery disk and upgrade by a clone of your hard drive on a 1.5 TB external drive. You will be able to migrate the clone on the new diskette with a product commercially available as Paragon Hard Disk Manager 12.

The issue seems to affect the cranking up the speed of the laptop. I would be grateful if you can give an approximate value of your new hard drive and the different options available (eg.1TB, 750GB etc.) for PAVILION g6-1118TX model number. Also suggest would be interesting to buy a new hard drive and move or search for improving the system of newer models.

  Waiting for your reply at the earliest.

  Hi @ra1791!

  I'm sorry to say this, but such errors are indicating that the drive is about to fail, then the best option in this case will be to replace it with another unit. 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 you can you take a look at the manual page, user 46:
