    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.

    > 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.

    I removed the hard drive [brand Toshiba] and connected as an external drive to a Mac.

    I am able to access your hard drive and copy some content from it. So, it looks like a problem with the hard drive.

    Is this a problem with the connection of harrdisk to the motherboard or with the hard drive itself?

    Help, please.

    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.

    Have already tried to contact Adobe and they told me to reinstall the program. I did this and the same issue. It's crazy. I can not turn off something that I did not more...

    Thank you.

    No - I had, of course, tried all these things. Finally, I had someone (after several days) on the personal chat group that could fix and it did it in a few minutes. Too bad that nobody else seemed to be able to do. Adobe is very soft.

    I can't thank enough the other person - it was amazing.

  • 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.

  • Are 3 TB hard drives, more likely to fail earlier that say a 2 TB

    My HARD drive failed just after 1,5 years was 3 TB. My friend says that 3 TB are more likely to fail at low capacity HARD drive. Does he know what he's talking about or he speaks right on his butt?

    I highly doubt that the standard warranty of 2-3 years (5 years on WD Black and other models of brands 'business') would be offered on 3XL readers if a 1.5 year lifetime was common.

    "" More hard drives lasted at least 3 I've heard.".

    -Yes! 3 years, at the least.

    "a corrupt sector."

    -While the bad sectors are a common cause of HARD drive failure, you can only guess why a HARD drive failed

    If a HARD drive can no longer be read/accessible.

    Discover - CrystalDiskInfo . It will scan your HARD drive and

    warn you of problems on the HARD drive. If all goes well, until they fail (if you run it quite often).

  • Hard drive DST short test failed

    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.
