How to fix a test failure short DST?

I have an e1405 dell with windows xp home edition and the last time I tried to turn it on crossed the screen of windows xp and then came to a black screen that says "no bootable disk" and gave me the opportunity to try to restart or run the Setup utility. I run the installer and everything went very well, but he said "DST short test: failed... I have no idea what this means or how I can fix this problem. I don't have my windows xp boot cd, how do I get my computer to start normally?

Hi GinnySLT,

·         What is the full error message with the error code that you receive?

·         What is the number and the model of the computer?

·         Do you remember all the recent changes on the computer before the show?

·         The OS came preinstalled on your computer?

During this time you provide us with the above information. I suggest you check the disk errors. You can check the link for the steps from the article below.

  • Hard disk 1 failure short DST Check

    Hi all

    The laptop is a HP Pavillion G6 and failed a quick review of the system on Hard Drive 1. I then ran a Test of the component on the hard drive and it produced a failure ID og GLL1BV - B 6, 8737 - MFPX1F60UN03 and a product ID of C5J48EA #ABU.

    My question is a hard drive broken completely, died? It is not my computer and was not supported if files would be lost.

    If the hard drive needs to be replaced, can someone point me in the direction of a suitable replacement of 750Go drive?

    If it's broken, is it possible to access the files and to rescue some of them?

    More to that, I understand that I will need to reinstall the operating system on the new drive hard if she has completely disappeared, how I would approach this? As far as I know that the guy has no a boot disk as Windows 8 came preinstalled.

    Finally, if she has not broken, no idea how to fix? It would be useful to take it to a repair shop, or that they would do what I did?

    Sorry, it's a long, this is my brother's cell phone and I have a Mac, so not too sure on it in all honesty. Let me know if you need more info on the laptop or the problem.

    See you soon,.

    It seems that the hard drive has failed and needs 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 discs that you can order from HP if none have been created using the software on the laptop. Recovery media can usually be ordered online from laptops or by phone Support page.

    Example HERE

    If you need more help post returns with full model number & product as indicated on the Service tag on the bottom of the laptop.

    Well, if this is the case, it must be too late to consider waiting.  A new hard drive seems to be in order.  Given that the post says Windows 10, which is the updated "free"?  If this is the case, then order a 1 TB hard drive to replace the failed unit.  On the restoration of the OS, I have to assume certain things

    (1) you do not have the recovery put DVD to reinstall Windows 8, as it was

    (2) you do not really want to reinstall Windows 8, on the new hard drive

    (3) If you have access to a working computer and can make windows 10 media creation dvd site M$, you might be able to reinstall Windows 10 using this.  Of course, any other software that has been installed on the old drive before it failed will be lost, unless you have the information you need to reinstall that, too.

    Considering that the computer does not start, I have to assume the worst condition for the reader.  It is perhaps not completely watered and important data cannot be retrieved, but don't count on it.

    Let me know how things go once the drive is replaced.

  • Pavilion dv7-4070us Fail short DST (failure ID PKVV5g - 5525T 4 - XD003G - 60QN03)

    Hello

    Last year, I bought the laptop from HP Pavilion dv7-4070us, running windows 7 64 bit. Everything was fine and dandy until recently. These days I only watched youtube videos and TV shows, when one day I turn on my computer to find that it remains on the splash screen of Windows 7 for an abnormal amount of time. This happened to me once before, but for some strange reason, (FYI: I'm tech savvy, so this question was a little weird) it was set the last time. However, unlike last time, the issue has not been resolved, the loading times still takes like 5 min or more. More when I run the diagnostic system test, the hard drive failed the short DST with the id of the fault: PKVV5g - 5525T 4 - XD003G - 60QN03.

    In addition, I ran the (samsung "collaborates" with seagate) drive hard seagate diagnostic with the same result, short failure of DST, but generic long and short generic and chip is checked and passed. So I was wondering if anyone had this similar problem and how did you resolve the situation. Again, the only thing I've done recently is only go on internet to see youtube and television series/films, only changes would be updated to windows. Another think I really have not tinkered around with the system.

    Searching high and low, it seems that I might have to replace the hard drive. However, I hope to not have to do it because the warranty just expired a few months ago. If someone could please answer or help I would appreciate it a lot! Happy holidays.

    PS. If you need more information, just ask. Thanks again!

    Failure of the DST is always in my experiences of time to replace the hard drive. Better, download your backed up files soon because sometimes the failure comes quickly after this notice.

    Hello

    The error code 24 characters is a disk failure short self-test and would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.  This is also consistent with the problems you describe.

    If you want to replace it yourself, it is quite inexpensive - a brief guide on this is below.

    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 starts on Page 54 of your maintenance & Service Guide.

    As you have upgraded to Windows 10 and as long as the previous installation of Windows 10 had activated Ok after the upgrade, you can simply use another PC to create the installation media for Windows 10 and then perform a new installation - it is all detailed in the guide on the following link.  Note: On the activation screen, select "I don't have a product key" - Windows will activate automatically once installation is complete.

    http://www.howtogeek.com/224342/how-to-clean-install-Windows-10/

    Regarding the existing personal folders on the failed disk, one possibility would be to place it in an external enclosure - is an example of the link below - connect to another PC and see if you can access your files.
