Hard drive test failed on HP Pavilion dv6-1100eo laptop computer

I have a HP Pavilion dv6-1100eo Entertainment Notebook PC (P/N: NR597EA) with Vista 32 bit.  Unfortunately no guarantees left in, and in general I was very satisfied with this laptop.

But suddenly Wondows would not start up - and it has yet to start Recovery hard disk partition. As I didn't know if this start was on hard drive or not - I ordered the DVD of recovery system for this version of Scandinavian language.

These discs didn't work - so I thought that I probably did not my homework before ordering these disks.

So I ran Diagnostics System (even if I have an older version of BIOS F.03).  On the diagnostics - test hard drive fast and complete failed during the first 1% analysis.

Is there something that can be done - or is the only option new hard drive? In the case - the what hard drive is recommended is too cheap - because I don't want to invest too much in a book soon 3 year.

Recently I have bougth an external hard drive (1 TB) based on the USB connection. That allows bypassing the HD internal. In this way I would increase HD capacity and not invest more in this notebook - since I already have the recovery DVDs

It's probably a matter of time before I go buy a new HP laptop - that is why I don't want any long standing patch this problem.

Hello

Sorry to say, but you won't be able to install or boot from external HARD disk Vista, so if you need to get the workbook, you will have to replace the internal drive.

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

Hard drive 500 GB

The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 57 of your maintenance & Service Guide.

Once this is done, simply use your recovery DVD to reinstall the operating system on the new drive.

Kind regards

  • Pavilion dv6: I did now the hard drive on my HDD test failed and the pavilion dv6

    The problem is that my laptop when I start it it takes like 10-15 minutes to load.

    I see loading windows xp logo and then he is suspended for more then 10 minutes or more.

    Now, I tried to do a test for the material. I turn on the laptop and click the F2 key and I entered the test screen of hp hardware. I moved start test drive hard and after 5-10 seconds or if stopped with a test failure:

    That's what I see now on the screen of the laptop:

    Test Drive: 1

    INTELLIGENT control: PAST

    DST short: FAILURE

    FAILURE ID: 64WE1A-5BC7Q7-XD003F - 60Q 903

    PRODUCT ID: XE041EA #ABT

    Hard drive 1

    Edit:

    I tried now all the other tests in the F2 screen, and they all went except the short DST hard drive that has failed.

    Better to buy a new hard drive and replace it with this one and I install the new OS on it own?

    Test drive: FAILURE

    Does that mean ID failure? I need to replace with a new hard drive? If so can I buy a new hard drive and replace it only with myself?

    I did no other reviews but I want to first of all understand what it means to id of failure.

    Hello

    The hard drive is faulty defiantly and Yes should not replace. Failure ID is given, so if your laptop is under warranty you can give this to HP and it will then allow you the replacement

    Usually the instructions on how to replace the hard drive are in the manual of your computer that you will be able to get a copy on the HP site. You can also buy the HP installation media which will be operating system files on your for reinstall on the new hard drive.

  • Hard drive test failed, not found boot device

    I have a Pavilion dv7 1245dx with Windows Vista 64 bit bought 2009 at Best Buy.  He slid the arm of the couch on a carpet in stop down.  Next day started ok, entered into yahoo, facebook, then type of frozen.  Finally, don't do anything, turn off manually down, started upward. Black screen, "No. Bootable Device - Insert Boot disk and press any key". It will accept only the recovery disks that I made after the purchase. Starting test ok, ok, hard drive memory test failed 'Boot Drive not found'.  If it helps, caps lock is flashing.  I saw something in a forum on the reset or reinstall the hard drive but no explanantion how.  Can you help me?  And can you give me a ballpark figure on a new hard drive or better to buy a new laptop?  Laid off in Michigan, hoping to be able to get the unit up and running without having to consider.  Thank you very much for your help!

    Hello:

    Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop.

    Can be found in Chapter 4, procedures for removal and replacement of hard disk.

    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c01918142.PDF

    If removing and reinstalling the drive does not resolve the problem, then the hard drive is dead.

    I don't know what that means though the flashing light of caps.  This could be something more serious.

    A new hard drive will cost about $57.00.

    I hope the recovery discs, you did work on it as well. They should but no guarantee.

  • HP mini 110 cannot use recovery discs - BIOS insists the hard drive test failed. Drive works on another computer.

    My niece has a HP mini 110 that does not have a day. Do a check of the hard drive in the bios, it failed (7 on playback). I though I should get a new one so I ordered another. While waiting for that to happen, I had access to a usb SATA bridge and the opperating system was beyond repair and the unreadable disk from HP mini, I decided to try to repair the disk. So I reformatted the old disk using my desktop computer. Windows had no problem with the drive and it seems to work very well.

    I also had to order the recovery disks (intro to windows 7).

    In any case try to reinstall using the recovery via the DVD USB drive disks. It kept coming back with error 17 - I found a hard drive error. I also tried to install with a Windows XP installation disc and it was more explicit hard drive it said it had NOT installed it - or "it does not match the sheet material for unity" (or words to that effect)

    To get the new hard drive - the same problem. Even if both of these drives operate as USB connected to my main desktop drives. SO my conclusion is that the BIOS start inspect the hard drive, check the configuration of the formatting. that is the size and the partitions etc. and when they do not correspond to the idea of BIOS of good care he rejects the hard drive and finds it is not installed.  Or maybe to do some files on the hard drive of base. Whatever it is, the bios concludes that there is no hard drive and will always return a "failed" to the hard drive of the bios test.

    Any ideas on that? I need to know exactly which partitions are expected by the bios. Does anyone have these specs, or maybe you have a mini HP and can examine your hard disk and tell me the amounts of partition and the size?

    Unless I can get the bios to recognize the hard drive, I don't see how I can reinstall the operating system on it. Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    HI David

    Well, I hope this is my last post here. I had already printed a return address for the recovery disks, being returned to the Netherlands. Just for the beggar of cast iron, however, I decided to try just once more would like to think that now that there is a kind of operating system on the hard drive it might work. But unfortunately still; no joy.

    All this time I would be considered may not be something wrong with the external hard drive because it was no problem to start the installation of XP. So I was just wondering maybe it does not receive enough power (it is a slimline portable DVD player that gets its power from a second usb) so I made a DVD player external adhock using an IDE hard drive enclosure (which has its own power supply and an old internal DVD burner I had put aside.

    To my surprise and joy; the HP mini started the recovery process. I am now watching reformat the windows partition and copy the files needed to restore the hard disk.

    So anyone with a similar problem to the HP mini not recognize the recovery disks is my advice; try an another external DVD drive, preferably one with its own supply of.

    Thanks for all your help and patience David.

  • Ports USB 3.0 on HP Pavilion dv6-6015tx laptop computer

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6-6015tx-Notebook that I've upgraded to Windows 8.1 (transcript).
    Now my problem is that when I connect my USB 3.0 drive to my laptop the transfer speed is not more than 40-45 Mbps. So, help me and tell me which two ports are USB 3.0 ports in my laptop (that I'm not sure about that).
    Earlier, I used to get the speed of transfer of 90-95 Mbits / s, but after a few deiver updates and do not know what it has reduced.

    The usb 3.0 ports will be a symbol of the SS (superspeed) marked next to the USB symbol.  You need to install the usb 3.0 for Windows 8.0 driver (if available) for the performance of usb 3.0. I'll check to see if it is and provide a link.

    There is no driver for windows 8 usb 3.0 available for download. You may need to install Island version Windows 7 in compatibility mode. It may also be available via Windows update.

  • Dv5 does not load Vista, failing hard drive test

    I have a laptop HP DV5 with Vista - 2 years and more under warranty.  He had some problems with Windows Update error codes, I did a system restore to a point a little backward.  This does not solve the problem, so I tried to cancel restoring the system back to the State of our days.  This was fine, but then the system locked up when he tried to restart itself-it has attempted to restart for 45 minutes and got nowhere, so I turned off.  This throw Windows completely, as the system restore was not full yet, so now that my computer will boot the HP logo and start up options, but then get hung up trying to load windows (I have a black screen with a scroll bar down cycles endlessly with Microsoft Corporation written below)

    Bottom line - I can't get the computer to boot windows, and system recovery does not work.  Tried directly from the hard drive and vain and ordered HP-put one disk disks this morning, once removed from the HP screen, I get the bar "Windows loading files" at the bottom, which ends in about a minute, but then it just goes back to its normal load upward, with the scroll bar and Microsoft Corporation at the bottom of the screen.  So I can't open basically even the system restore window.

    I just ran the self-test of the primary hard drive and had hard disk Test do not.  I'm not particularly computer saavy (I didn't know that to do this test in reading this forum), if anyone can tell me what I should do next?  I don't want to go somewhere and get screwed!

    Thank you!

    Hi Becky,

    The result of the primary Hard Drive Self Test means your hard drive is defective and must be replaced.  It is the HARD drive in my dv5.

    http://www.Amazon.co.UK/320GB-Scorpio-WD3200BEVT-SATA-5400rpm/DP/B0013E0A0M

    Hard drive replacement is not difficult (generally remove two screws from the cover of the HARD drive on the bottom of your laptop, remove a futher two screws holding the disc in place then pulling on one leg to lift the reader.  Then unscrew the metal casing around your old drive - often called the caddy drive - attaching to your new drive, insert the new drive, fix it with two screws and replace the cover.  Then simply insert your recovery DVDs to load Vista on your new drive.  Here is a Youtube video showing this.

    I hope this helps.

  • hard drive test failure

    Hello, I receive the text next message when I swtich the laptop on:

    "SMART hard drive control has detected an imminent failure. To ensure no loss of data, please save the content immediately and run Diagnostics in the Testin hard drive system.

    "Hard disk 1 (301).

    When I start the laptop works fine, internet and all other devices work, scanning local disk C: and D: Recovery detects any errors. I tried to update it, but the message still appears.

    I wonder what may be the problem, any suggestions?

    The laptop never gave me a prblem to date, I bought it a year ago, last week I had to change the DVD player, which was the only change I had to make. After that, I started to have problems with him, like blue screens, indicating "Critical process is dead" and "kernel data page mistakenly".

    I also CD/DVD given to me at the time of the purchase, which I think are necessary for backup and recovery, but I don't know how they actually work.
