• Satellite Pro P200 - Smart error "imminent hard drive failure".

  Hello! I wonder if someone can help me.

  Start the computer, the other day the S.M.A.R.T diagnostic program came suddenly on saying a "hard drive failure may be imminent," when I open the Intel Matrix Storage console, it says that the hard drive in port 0 has had a S.M.A.R.T event recorded against him but that of port. 2 is 'normal '.

  Port 0 is the volume of the operating system on it and if so what would be the best way to back up the disk and what someone knows how to change the hard drive and how much approximately would this cost?

  Thanks for any help inadvance.
  Paul.

  Hello!

  In my opinion, you should back up all the data as quickly as possible. In the worst case you could HARD drive might completely die and then you are not able to save the data on it.

  After that you should swap the HARD drive. It s depending on the model of HARD drive you buy how much it will cost but drives hard are not so dear to our days. I think that it will be possible to get one for 50 Euros.

  Good bye

• HP Pavilion 6653w "imminent hard drive failure! "Backup and replace. Questions.

  Hello, I have a HP Pavilion 6653w with Windows 7 Home Premium desktop computer.   It is 4 to 6 years old.  Recently, when I start it, I get a message "imminent hard disk failure!  Please save and replace as soon as possible."  I've never had to replace a hard drive before, so I have some questions:

  1 should. what type of disc do I replace - be of the same type that I have now?  (Hitachi, 1 TB).   Is there a list somewhere that shows which drives are not suitable for my computer?

  2 - is a mechanically inclined person (my husband) could do at home, or that it does not require a professional?  My husband has replaced a front memory card, we just request if it is similar to the one in trouble?

  Thank you!

  This link will take you to a document on the withdrawal and the replacement of a hard drive on a HP or Compaq desktop computer.  If it is not identical to your case, it will be a little similar.  The point is, that it is not terribly difficult; This is something you might be able to tackle yourself, or with a friend who has some experience with computers.

  I hope this helps.

• HP Pavilion g7-2054sa Notebook: imminent hard drive failure - code GLQ3J0-65V838-MFPX0J-60C403

  I have the black screen at startup saying hard disk failure is imminent. Controls of the f2 said

  Drive hard SMART test failed

  ID GLQ3J0-65V838-MFPX0J-60C403 failure

  Product ID B1P45EA #AEU

  What it means? I also get messages on Windows 7 hard disk failure is imminent. What is in fact a hard drive failure?

  The problems started after system restore to a point previous (5 days ago) after downloading some updates of the site Web HP that have been identified as relevant, but caused freezes, which is why the restoration to the previous point. Still trying to get an idea of the problem areas. Most things work very well, but Windows Media Player does not properly is the most obvious fault so far. More I bought a new external hard drive to perform the emergency backup, but it is not recognized when I plug. It is however grateful already used very happy memory sticks.

  I'm likely to have a real failure, or is a false reading because things did not settle down properly after the system restore?

  I am not technically very advanced - perhaps at the limit of my understanding so simple popular suggestions/instructions.

  Thanks for all those who have followed this demand. Problem solved - I took it to a local repair shop in the end. While I could probably physically replace the drive myself quite easily, I wanted the confidence of an expert to provide the correct replacement and manages the much larger task to transfer everything at the latest so that I can resume normal with all that where it should be.

• I have a Compaq Persario CQ50 - 109CA which is indicating "imminent hard drive failure.

  I have an app Compaq Persario CQ50 - 109CA, running on Windows Vista, which is indicating "Hard drive failure" imminent

  I backed everything up.

  I restarted the computer and started running the Hard Drive Self Test in the BIOS.  The quick test passed but 4 minutes in the next test, the computer will stop.  This has happened 4 times now.

  I can restart normally, and the computer seems to work very well.

  This means that the hard drive requires replacement indeed?

  The sectors more means worse condition. My classmate has 134 of them and can not start at all. Buy a new hard drive.

  Reallocated sectors count means that these areas cannot be used and the data is transferred to another area of the hard drive. This means a physical damage on the hard disk trays. The hard drive may be working again, but may also fail at any time completely...

• HP Elite 7300: imminent hard drive failure

  Hello

  I have a desktop hp elite 7300 with windows 7

  I get the rather alarming message that my hard drive is about to fail.

  So I bought a new SSD.

  How can I move windows 7 to the new drive?

  Kind regards

  Scarab

  To have a upgrade kit, it is exactly what you need to buy. The second SSD purchase I made for one of my own systems was a upgrade kit in the future in mind. Once you have the kit that comes with the cable and the software, you are ready for the future updates for SSDS on other systems. Usually a major supplier of SSD has free cloning software available for download. It's just being customer friendly. Samsung and Corsair are like that.

  Paragon software and others sell SSDS cloning of the software applications that will do exactly what you need.  There are free applications that clones since the current for the SSD hard drive.

  You can pick up the usb converter cable to SATA to an online retailer or a local store for a price relatively low.

• My HP pavilion frozen just with "no hard drive found" messages and "imminent hard drive failure.

  What are my next steps?

  I have Norton360 online backup protection.

  Hello:

  It is unlikely that you will be able to recover all the data, but you want to play $20 on it, you can buy a SATA hard disc to USB Office like this case and give it a try.

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16817182155

  Even for a non-techie, replacing a hard drive is quite simple.  Here is the link to the service manual.  See page 17 for procedures to remove and replace the hard drive.

  Then of course, you must read the procedures for opening the case so.

  If you feel confident that you can complete these tasks, then you are techie enough.

  Looking at the specs for your PC, you will need to buy a hard drive SATA II of 750Go. You can go as high as 1 TB, but do not exceed this size.

• (Redirected) Imminent HARD drive failure

  Hello

  I have a Dell R510 with an INTEGRATED CONTROLLER of RAID PERC H700 inside. It has 4 M27R0 X 600 GB, SAS 6GBPS, 3.5 inch disks and 2 X 300 GB.

  2 of my 600GO records now have amber lights on them which means that the discs are potentially will fail soon in my opinion. So I want to replace them and my question was, what I need to get the exact model of 600 GB SAS or any disk, with the same specification will work?

  Thank you very much

• HP G62-b23SA - hard drive failure imminent - SMART error (301)

  My HP G62-b23SA signals an imminent hard drive failure. Drive hard test reports a SMART error (301).  You should back up the system and contact the HP support to inquire if the hard drive needs to be replaced or just needs to be repaired. I have supported from the system, it had to be replaced?

  Hello

  The Smart 301 error would indicate that your hard drive is defective and must be replaced.

  If your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange for the disc replaced.  You can check the status of your warranty here.

  If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

  If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

  If you are out of warranty and would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself, let me know - include size (IE 500 Gb) of your current HARD drive.

  Kind regards

• Envy 14 - hard drive failure imminent

  I have an Envy 14-1110NR laptop and receive a message of imminent hard drive failure, whenever I start.  After you run the HP diagnostics, checking the hard drive breaks down so I think I need to replace it.

  The hard drive is a Samsung HM640JJ which is obsolete.  Anyone know what I need to do...?

  Thank you very much...

  Hello Stephen,

  In this case, may be your best option to create an Image of your existing installation system and store it on a HARD drive external - that can then be loaded on the new drive and your machine will be in the exact same condition as it was when the image was created.

  There is a good guide on creating it on the following link - start to the subtopic 'An Option'.

  http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/8956-system-image-create-Windows-8-a.html

  At the end of the process, be sure to create the 'system repair disc'.

  When the drive has been replaced, you can then boot from the repair disk and reload this Image to the new drive - the procedure is detailed in the guide on the following link.

  Hello people of the community.

  Recently, I get a message indicating an imminent hard drive failure during startup. I just wanted to know how I can solve the problem and how to buy a hard drive and the same difficulty. The issue seems to affect the cranking up the speed of the laptop. I would be grateful if you can give an approximate value of your new hard drive and the different options available (eg.1TB, 750GB etc.) for PAVILION g6-1118TX model number. Also suggest would be interesting to buy a new hard drive and move or search for improving the system of newer models.

  Waiting for your reply at the earliest.

  Hi @ra1791!

  I'm sorry to say this, but such errors are indicating that the drive is about to fail, then the best option in this case will be to replace it with another unit. If the product is still under warranty, you can contact support, but in case you have no guarantee and you would like a guide to replacing the hard drive you can you take a look at the manual page, user 46:

• Hard drive failure is imminent!

  so I had a play and when I started the game, I was told that my computer will restart, then it started me off in the bios with the message "hard drive failure is imminent. IM wondering if I get another HARD drive I will need to get another copy of windows 10 buy or is there a way I can keep the windows 10 during a maneuver on my HARD drive?

  You can simply install the new disk, then start on a key USB W10 and install the operating system without a key, then when you get on the desktop, it should activate.

  Or clone the old disk to a usning new Macrium reflect free, then install the new disk, but if the reader fails it cannot establish so well.

  You can make the USB stick using this tool from Microsoft, you will need a 8 GB or more great drive flash usb, or you can make an ISO file and then burn it to DVD.

• Hard drive failure is imminent and must be replaced

  HP TouchSmart 610-1020 has

  i5 6 GB RAM 64 bit

  Windows 7 Home Edition Premium--> Windows 8

  Hi there, since a terrible week for me I started to receive the error message:

  Hard drive failure is imminent and must be replaced

  only when am re - / from my PC.

  I made a backup already a few days ago (space available was already 85% - did not much), run all those disk cleanup, defragmentation, analyze and verify programs and there was nothing wrong. I ran all possible controls and it had nothing recorded. I've updated / installed Windows 8 which works perfectly without any problems, no computer crash or that it is, but only sometimes receive a message saying that I need to run/shedule a back, etc.

  As I already mentioned, there was no disk error, no other problems known but still get the message "hard drive failure is imminent and should be replaced" and crazy!

  My questions are:

  (1) what on Earth is happening, there is always a problem with touch smart PC; should he stay away all in a desktop PC and just buy older versions - separate screen and tour, etc.?

  (2) I have no problem and continue to use my PC but wonder what will happen; It will be down, it's just a false error message, what should I do?

  (3) if I have to take it to a service, what should I take care of?

  Thank you for taking your time and wil appreciate for your posts about.

  Hello

  What has happened is that the CHIP system reports told you that your hard drive will fail little time. It is good that you have saved.  The fault lies not in all of your PC, but in a single component, namely the hard disk. You own your PC like one year standard warranty is longer.

  You need to buy a hard drive with the following specifications. It of time to find your recovery disc as you need to recover your PC in its delivered State and then apply the upgrade 8 to win again. You can install it yourself or have done by a qualified PC store or from an HP Service Technician. The HP service center is the most expensive option.

  You can avoid having to use the recovery disk and upgrade by a clone of your hard drive on a 1.5 TB external drive. You will be able to migrate the clone on the new diskette with a product commercially available as Paragon Hard Disk Manager 12.

• HP Pavilion Slimline S5: Internal HARD drive failure, PC does not start

  Drive HARD internal of my HP Pavilion Slimline S5 failed and died recently (bought in 2011). My HP warranty is long gone.

  The splash screen has shown this message:

  1720-SMART hard detects an imminent failure

  Due to lack of player: SATA0

  Failed attributes: # 05

  I have several questions about this:

  1. Is it only caused by HARD drive failure? I want to replace it myself, but I don't really know if there are other parts to replace. Or it will be better to bring it to the computer shop to do carefully check?
  2. I can replace it with Seagate Barracuda 3.5 "(7200 RPM, 1 TB, SATA 3 or 6)? I think that the current HARD drive is Hitachi.
  3. I still need to transfer Windows OEM once the HARD drive is replaced?

  Thanks in advance.

  According to the packing of the Seagate, it might come with the software.  But if it is OEM drive then found the software by clicking HERE.  In general, I use a USB adapter for hard drive to clone if the PC will not support an additional drive.  Given that a number of incomplete model for the PC, it is difficult to find accurate info, but the Pavilion Slimline S5 I checked all have a motherboard with additional SATA ports.  Just have a spare SATA cable and power on the power port and try the cloning software.  Make sure that the drive is not touch a conductive element.  Usually, I place the additional reader on a cardboard box.

  Install the new drive as a replacement for the existing drive and connect everything as it is now.  Then connect the old drive in the manner discussed.  Boot from the CD created with cloning tools.  If the old drive is cloned stll, then when the software is finished, remove the old drive connections to see if the drive can start the computer.  If this is not successful, try to run the recovery screen (F11) BIOS boot manager.  If that does not work, use the Recovery DVD set brand when the computer was new.  If you did this, or lost them, then see THATto order a series.
