HpG61: Hard drive error

• Satellite L350 - persistent master hard drive errors

  I've known persistent main hard disk errors. Errors, in their first incarnation, were windows freeze at loading screens and screensavers, and then developed by stopping Windows to boot at all. It certainly would not start normally and sometimes would not start in safe mode. I used the recovery partition to restore the computer to its factory settings. A day or two later, the same symptoms began to manifest again, although not as severely. The hard drive errors, freeze on screens and loading screen savers.

  My question is: if I re - format the hard drive master, thus destroying the recovery partition, I could then just restore windows from a newly formed recovery CD? And, in addition, what is the probability that reformatting the drive hard completely would have an effect on the frequency of errors?
  If the hard drive is simply borked, format or not? And if yes, what is the next step?
  Could I restore windows on my drive hard slave and give up on the master?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hey Buddy,

  Are you sure that all these problems related to the HARD drive at 100%? How did you check that?

  I don t mean it s not the HARD drive, theoretically, you could be right but before you think to change the HARD drive please use a diagnostic tool special for HDD as Drive Fitness Test:
  http://www.HitachiGST.com/support/downloads/#DFT

  This tool can check your HARD drive for bad sectors.

  If the HARD features of bad sectors disk, formatting will not help you because the sectors are physically damaged. With other words, the only chance is to exchange it.

  But if you have already used the recovery feature of HARD Toshiba drive to reinstall Windows you can say s that no problem of software and it must be hardware related. ;)

• Hard drive error, but passes diagnostic

  I have a vostro 320 all in one computer. Yesterday he left initializing with a hard drive error, but when I run the hardware diagnostics all past. When I go into the installer the Bious does not see the hard drive. Current Bious is 1.2.0 and current is 1.4.0.

  If the BIOS does not see the hard drive, no - you will need to replace the disk.

  You can take a chance on the resettlement of the player (unplug the system and disconnect and reconnect the hard drive), but if so, it is not detected by the system, it is toast and needs to be replaced.

  Hello

  Firstly, regarding the disk HARD, your laptop is listed as coming with a 500 GB hard drive, but you can just as easily install a 750 GB HARD drive if you want a little more than space - readers at the following links are examples that would be perfect for your laptop.

  Hard drive 500 GB

  750 GB hard drive.

  The procedure to replace the hard drive starts on Page 54 of your maintenance & Service Guide.

  Regarding the reinstallation of the operating system on the new drive, there are two options available.

  1. you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - it will reinstall the operating system, all the drivers, and almost all of the original software (the exception being often tests of MS Office).  They will also recreate all of the original scores, including the recovery Partition.  The following link guess that you live in the United Kingdom.

  Order recovery HP. - UK discs.

  2 another option that you might consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.

  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.

  You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the Disk Image correct ( 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 and use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn offerings) to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Windows Image is Digital River.

  Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1.

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

• Hard drive error

  Last Friday, when I got a message on my computer. I started my computer and waited for my coming screen lock. But it does not.
  
  To place a display that showed a message (HDD error please run the System Diagnostics hard drive test.) Hard drive 1 (3F1) f2 System Diagnostics. For more information, please visit: www.hp.com/go/techcenter/startup ).
  
  Yes, I ran the test. In fact, I ran two of them. After checking the hard drive, but the test of memory appear Smart check & short DST not installed.
  
  Anyway, when I press exit after the exam he brings me to the SAME screen (HDD error) I went to insects to ask for help and they said I need to contact me Hp.Please help.
  
  My product is a HP Pavilion x 360
  
  And I got it in June 13,2014

  If the computer is less than a year old HP probably fix it at their cost. If you live in the United States, call the 1-800-HP-INVENT and go to the personal computer support to make a claim. Probably they will send a box for it and have shipped to and returned from a repair center.

• Re: Satellite A40 - hard drive error - will not start

  My friend bought this laptop in April 2007 and has been very happy with it until about a month when he stopped startup in windows xp.

  At the start, she now gets the message

  "PXE - E61 media test failure - check the cable for.
  "PXE - M0F outgoing intel boot agent"
  "Insert system disk in drive."
  "Press a key when you are ready.

  and then the laptop does not start in windows.

  I thought that the hard drive can have detached, so I took it out and he handed in a State, but in vain.

  I also tried to reinstall with the recovery CD but get the following error message
  status «»
  GDISK (E) no such fixed disk 1 "

  It is followed by * ERROR *.
  Error number 11030
  invalid message destination drive
  X;

  I ran a Toshiba (or he could have Hitachi) utility disk that I burned on a cd and went up on the audit boot.

  It said there are problems on Toshiba MK4025GAS, which is the hard drive. details coincide with what it actually says on the disc.

  The BIOS sees the drive start on as he is listed as the master, with the cd as the secondary drive.
  Therefore, is it true that the drive is broken. If so - can it be repaired or is there another solution.

  I tried Googling the error message and there are conflicting messages on this issue, so your help would be very appreciated.
  It seems crazy that the reader can break after only 18 months - was there a defective batch?

  If that's the case Toshiba offers a replacement or it will cost a lot?

  Thank you

  Nashy

  Post edited by: Nashy - sorry - it was bought in 2007 is NOT 2006

  In your case, the HARD drive is certainly defective and you need to replace. Satellite A40 is pretty old laptop without guarantee valid and there is no replacement from Toshiba.

  Just buy a new HARD drive. Hard drives for this good old classic are not more expensive.
