HP Probook 4720 s hard disk crash?

It starts all the way, when I run diagnostics in the system it says:

Test drive: FAILURE

Starting test: FAILED

I tried reinstalling the HDD, has not helped.

I'm pretty sure I have to replace my hard drive,

BUT if I start it, I actually get a screen of cmd.exe (X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe) and an extended cursor, with paper painted very nice windows.

While this indicates that its just a software problem? Or did some sytem backup last worthless?

Hello:

I couldn't tell you what the jargon, it's that you see, but you hit the nail on the head

The hard drive has conked and must be replaced and the operating system reinstalled using recovery discs.

If you don't have recovery discs, call HP for the country that you live in the link below.

Call the phone number for the PC business.

You will need to have the serial number handy to give to the customer service rep to order the set of recovery disks.

  • Reinstall CS3 Web Standard after the hard disk crash. Serial number, but check the upgrade is a problem - from Mac to PC, so does not match my product calling (Studio MX Mac)

    I'm reinstalling CS3 Web Standard after a hard disk crash. I have my serial number, but after entering, it does a check of upgrade, and at the time wherever I upgraded I also did a single switch from Mac to PC - so my product calling (Studio MX Mac) has a serial number starting with "WSM600"... ", while the upgrade check won't accept - Studio MX Mac is not yet available as an option. This happened once before and I had to work with a representative by phone (I had to click in a hidden part of one of the activation screens to get a number, if I remember correctly), but apparently Adobe that does more. And the page of "www.adobe.com/go/activiation" the phone message directs you to doesn't seem to have an option for this problem either.

    So, what is the replacement or her work around this problem now?

    Hi lkauffman,

    The serial number must be unlocked for activation.

  • HP Probook s 4530: HARD drive crashed - no possibility of recovery of windows 7

    Dear Sir

    A few weeks ago my hard drive crashed, it was not possible to repair the HARD disk, so I ordered a new HARD drive.

    I thought that I was able to download and install Windows 7 onto the new HARD drive with the product on the back of my laptop, but when I try to download it from the Microsoft Web site I get a message saying that there is a problem with the request for approval. In further research, this can only for commercial versions, not pre-installed versions.

    So, how can I get Windows 7 now on my laptop?

    Product: Laptop HP 4530 s

    Series: CNU1263BN9

    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium (x 64)

    If I need to provide more information please let me know.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite A200-137 - cannot install windows after the hard disk crash

    last week my a200-137 crashed and now I have the new hitachi 500 GB hard drive on it, even before the accident.
    I have install with Toshiba recovery DVD windows Vista on it and after succesfull installed I have to start windows, it says prepare for first use windows then I have to wait a while and then I get the message that windows setup is not complete. But it is complete!

    After trying to install 3 times with recovert I tried to install windows xp.
    After a few minutes and transering files, I don't get the message no disc found! It is said that there is no hard drive on the laptop!
    But when I start the start menu or the settings menu, I can see the 500 GB Hitachi hard drive!

    So why windows can't find hard disk and why can't I start windowds visat after installing with the recovery dvd?

    > So why windows can't find hard disk and why can't I start windowds visat after installing with the recovery dvd?
    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say why you can not install recovery image. It would be interesting to know if the same thing will happen when you replace the HARD with the same or identical.
    This title was the original HARD drive?
    If possible, try to get original Microsoft installation disc and check if the HARD drive will be recognized by Vista or Win7 and of course if you will be able to install and boot OS preinstalled.

    Regarding the installation of Windows XP Home edition: it is well known that the WXP installation will start properly due to lack of SATA driver that must be loaded prior to installation of WXP begins.
    Check out this forum and you will find hundreds of threads with detailed explanation why this happen and what can you do about it.

  • How to get Windows XP in case of hard disk crash

    Hi, recently my hard drive got crashed and I lost my original Windows XP that came with my laptop pre-installed. I still have the key of Windows XP with me and I'm the only owner. Is their anyway to get it from Microsoft without any extra cost. Please let me know at * address email is removed from the privacy *.

    on laptops, operating system installation files are located on the hard disk, in a hidden place.

    These installation files can be launched / executed via a procedure known as 'factory restore '.

    a factory restore is then wipe the hard drive and install a fresh copy of the operating system of the manufacturer.

    Depending on the type of 'crash' you committed, you might be able to run a factory restore, but you will lose all your personal files too in the process.

    If the hard disk is still inside the laptop, then go into your mobile home site and look for the model number for instructions on performing a factory restore.

    either way, a hard drive crash is subjective interpretation.

    You may be able to fix it if you can borrow and xp cd from someone "or" via a startup disk that you can do on the internet.

    However, you will need to provide more information on your "crash."
