HP ProtectSmart hard drive protection

Hey guys,.

So the story is, I bought a HP Pavilion dv6-6b07tx Entertainment Notebook 2nd hand and quickly got fed up with the slow loading with the 5400 RPM HARD drive time... I upgraded to a 250 GB SSD HARD drive and Windows 8.1 at the same time (super fast loading times now), I now get the error ACPI\HPQ0004 dreaded in the Device Manager. I get that it's the stuff of HP ProtectSmart and found where to find the driver for it, but do I need? What is doing? Can I just leave it like that?

At soon knightwolf153

That error is for the ACPI/HPQ0004 unknown devicefor spinner traditional hard drives.

HP ProtectSmart hard drive Protection software protects the hard drive of "parking the heads ' if the laptop fell accidentally, or is suddenly hit by another object.

You now have an installed electronic reader so that you can ignore the error message. Your drive has no head to the Park. If the error message really bothers you, then you can install the Hard Drive Protection HP ProtectSmart software.

  • Portege M400 - upgrade HARD drive protection and vibration

    I think the upgrade from 80 GB to 500 GB HARD drive, but I was wondering how this affects the protection against vibration - I should get a player that has not integrated it and the new disc will have the same protection against vibrations the original - that is I presume the protection mechanism is outside the drive and just parks the drive head when it detects a movement.

    ... actually looks that most have detection of shock, I'll go with a Toshiba drive because it stresses peace.

    Hey Buddy!

    Hmm... First of all I'm not sure if a 500 GB will work in your laptop if only 80 GB HARD drive is installed. I m also asks that you need as much disk space in a laptop. For example, 160 or 250 GB is enough for me because I store most of my data on s to external HARD disk or DVD.
    Let me give you a little advice: in this case I'm going to my local computer store and talk with the seller which HARD disk, it can recommend. After that, I was able to test the HARD drive in a computer store and, for example, it doesn't work, you can buy a new one. Who is really nice and it should be possible in most computer stores. ;)

    Regarding your question of vibration and shock protection, I think that a new drive HARD doesn't affect this feature because they don t have such a feature built-in so it makes no difference what HARD drive you buy.

    Good luck!

  • ExpressCache broken after update hard drive Protection

    I have a brand new E530 with 16 GB SSD. Product Code: 3259A 29.

    I installed the ExpressCache with the C:\SWTOOLS\APPS\ExpressCache installation program. Everything went well and the thing ran faster, for a day.

    Now I have updated the Protection of hard drive, such as recommended by the ThinkVantage System Update to Version 1.77.0.5.

    Since then, I get an error message during startup: "2102: error detection on HDD2 (SATA Mini).» Press ESC to continue. "After ESC the machine starts.

    But ExpressCache doesn't work anymore. On the command line the command eccmd.exe - info says "* ERROR * ECCmd required peripheral is not available: 2

    I guess, the update of the ruined the ExpressCache HD-protection - hide.

    How can I fix ExxpressCache? All eccmd.exe options, it returns the error message above.

    Thanks for your help!

    awehring,

    You see the error message:

    «2102: error detection on HDD2 (SATA Mini).» Press ESC to continue. »

    is from the BIOS.  You say that the mSATA SSD (or the port that it attached) is bad.

    I recommend you call the support phone number in your country to apply for warranty repair.

    The update of the software APS could not cause this, given that the APS software runs only under Windows.  You see the error message is BIOS.  I think it is purely a coincidence that HW failure is apparently happened as you updated the software of the APS.

  • HP ENVY 15-j151sa: HP Hard Drive protection software 3D

    Hello.

    After you have reinstalled windows, I not recognized device

    ACPI\HPQ6007\3 & 2411E6FE & 0

    I managed to find it's a HP 3D HD protection device thing – I'm guessing sensor of acceleration?

    and if I'm correct required driver is sp67280.exe

    I swapped the HD with the SSHD manufacturers so it seems a bit pointless to install in particular that it is quite as he would have a negative impact on the performance of the PC.

    What do you think? Would it not be better to ignore the unrecognized device or install this useless from my point of view function, since it could be used by other components and lack of it may have a negative impact on the performance actually?

    Hello:

    I like a 'clean' Device Manager

    The software of the unit doesn't bother the performance of the laptop.  Is not a very large file.

    I installed it on my HP Elitebook 6930p, who runs a 330 of Intel SSD, and I can tell you that I noticed zero negative impact on disk or laptop with 3D driveguard installed.

  • Want J010dx m7: windows will not start until after full recovery of the system with new HARD drive

    Hello world

    I need help here.

    My HP envy m7 J010dx works perfectly with my original hard drive (1 TB).

    I am preparing a second HDD (NEW 320) as backup.

    I took off the Moose HDD (1 TB) and replace it with the NEW HARD drive (320GB) and try to do a full recovery of the system with the HP recovery DVD.

    After full system recovery and laptop computer needs to be restarted in order to continue, the laptop keeps restarting on the logo of windows 8.

    I think it says device not found Boot. Also a test using the UEFI tool material HP and all pass.

    Replacing the NEW HARD drive with the original of the old HARD drive and it start normally.

    What can go wrong here in this case? Thank you very much for the help.

    Concerning

    John

    OK, I read through the thread and this is my point of view on this based on works including restore process with the user created a recovery (UCRDs) media which the user indicated that they used.

    If you just want to jump to the conclusion at the bottom, you can see my opinion. If you want to know 'why' Please read the entire post.

    Model No.: m7-j010dx

    Product #: E0K83UA #ABA

    Ships OS: Windows 8 (64-bit)

    Recovery HP part No. Kit: 730336-002 (3 DVDs + extra)

    User replaced the HARD drive with a 1 TB hard drive 5400 RPM with HP ProtectSmart hard drive Protection a new hard drive is a Seagate Momentus 7200.4 ST9320423AS 320 GB 7200 RPM 16 MB Cache SATA 3.0 GB / s 2.5 "Notebook internal hard drive.

    With the help of UCRDs sent media recovery media (SSRDs):

    When the UCRDs are created, only the drivers for the HW operation (this is a critical point, that I will look later) are burned to the user created a recovery media.  Consider this a snapshot of the current HW, the base drivers and software applications.   If you change the HW on your laptop or desktop where the additional device requires a different driver for these features, a few questions you might - recovery process could stop because he can't find the right driver, a blue screen, a lack of start-up or other unstable system.

    A few years ago, I had a PC that would not recover because the Blu - ray (ODD) optical disk drive did not work.  I replaced the WEIRD Blu - ray with a generic DVD/CD burner into the new part of Blu - ray is presented.   I got the PC using SSRDs thinking I would put some time and just install the Blu - ray after the PC has been recovered.   The PC recovered and when the new Blu - ray showed I installed the unit and guess what?  All PCs have shown in Device Manager and applications was a generic ODD - no Blu - ray capability and ability to read Blu - ray content in the default HP provided for multimedia applications delivered with the PC.  Applications were there but no Blu - ray capability.

    Huh?  It looks that I did not put any time at all.

    I inserted the new Blu - ray ODD and distributed recovery with the HP SSRDs.

    After recovery, I had all the Blu - ray drivers and applications supported Blu - ray.

    The difference between UCRDs and SSRDs:

    UCRDs provide a glimpse of what is installed and functional both disks are created.

    Version Digest of the player on what is happening with SSRDs to retrieve a PC (before Windows 10):

    SSRDs have all the drivers for all the HW and SW qualified for the unit.  There may be several drivers for hard drives, different types/screen resolutions, sides, etc.  Based on the characteristics of the specific laptop / desktop a process is run called "Do / don't.   After entering the recovery SDRD, the Notebook media boots to Recovery Manager.  The first step is a raw copy of all the contents of the disc on a temporary partition.  Following the Do / do not process looks at the characteristics of this specific unit and remove all other drivers and applications not used by this device.  Drivers and the only successful applications are the features supported.   And then, the new operating system and recovery partition is created.   The PC end recovery of cleaning process and restart the laptop / desktop. And, Yes, you guessed it, if you create the user created a recovery media, you only have the drivers for HW devices and applications of HP on the PC at the time.

    So, that being said, what could be the cause/solution?

    Hard drives can be different enough so that a different driver (not the UCRDs) is necessary for the newly installed HW.

    The SSRDs are supported on the new HARD drive installed?

    I don't know, I have an office boy, and I have not tried on this model of laptop.

    If you have / acquire SSRDs, I recover the laptop with the new installed HARD drive and see if it works.  It may or may not.  I don't know what drives were qualified for this laptop.

    If this does not work, the last option is cloning via USB connection (old HARD drive in the PC, new HARD drive connected to a USB 3 via the SATA Adapter (dongle) USB port, install or download software cloning and cloning the old HDD to the new.)   I just did this on the two older Windows 7 computers laptops using a SanDisk Ultra kit.  He has worked on both units.

    Conclusion:

    I don't think that the problem is caused from a HARD drive of 1 to a 320 GB HARD drive, as it meets the minimum specs for a complete installation.  I think the problem is related to the use of UCRDs to retrieve and the UCRDs do not have the HARD driver/firmware/application disc.

    But then again, I know.
