INTELLIGENT HP g62-225dx disk error

Hi all

My HP G62-225DX indicates an error SMART hard drive at startup.

"SMART hard drive control has detected an imminent failure." "Hard disk 1 (301).

I'm willing to change the disk hard since I am out of warranty, but do not know which one to buy. Also, is there a written procedure for replacement out there? My recovery disk on the computer so I think I need to burn that to DVD first no?

Thank you.

Hello

First, you must use the Recovery Manager and see if you are still able to burn your game of recovery disks - for details on this, see the link below.

Create recovery discs - Windows 7.

You can create 1jeu of these discs and if your HARD drive is a failure, it is not now possible - if this is the case, you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below.

Order HP recovery disks.

If you have a problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

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

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

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 begins on Page 52 of your & Maintenance Guide.

Once this is done, simply use your recovery DVDs to reinstall the operating system on the new drive - see the guide here.

Kind regards

    G62-225DX brother freezes about 1-2 minutes on login. I don't know if the antivirus is set to auto scan. This problem started when he started a sweep prompted with trend macro antivirus and the computer froze. Before I didn't know the problem installation of AVG Free, I started last night and when I looked in the morning, he was frozen but installed AVG Free. I started saving and scanned with AVG to auto deletion. Then I restarted the computer logined and less than 2 min that he froze.

  • Windows update fails-G62-225DX - bad startup a factory?

    My nephew came to me recently with a G62-225DX HP, concerned about safety.  Given this machine is several years old (recently handed down from his father - I quickly understood why), I was surprised to see she was always being basic Windows 7 Home Premium.  Without SP1.

    My first attempt to resolve this was to run Windows Update - no luck - immediately fails with "cannot run - services is not started.  Of course, verification services, yes I see WU and BITS running.

    So, like any good tech person, I check in the case where the logs and see various errors, including the constant complaints on the Crypto database being corrupted.

    Then, up to be Googling for these symptoms/messages.  I see many people with the same problem and a lot of suggestions on how to fix this (re - reg WU, STRANDS of clear/reset, flush/empty C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, catroot2 flush/empty, etc.).  Even seen one on the Intel hard drive problems due to replace it with a drive of more than 500 GB (this unit still has the original 320).

    Spent hours trying all the suggestions there, especially when people said 'Yes, that fixed', nothing helps.

    Since it was not something of value on this machine, I decide backup and restore "factory".

    Imagine my surprise when, after reset of the image 'factory', it has exactly the same problem - Windows Update fails, out-of-the-box on the right!

    I think to myself, it's crazy.  The machine is faulty from the start and everyone was naïve to not get Windows updates, AT ALL!

    I even decided to try the Windows Update Checker (supposed to perform before installing SP1) and it fails with ' Windows Update Standalone install encountered and error - 0xc80000247 ".

    So, I decided to run through the suggested fixes (from M$, no less) and all of a sudden, that Windows Update works.

    I thought, it's fantastic.  He immediately calls to > 130 fixed critical.

    After a few hours of download and installed, I restart only to get a BSOD - STOP 6 b - AAARRRGGGHHHH!  Tried to go through Windows restore previous checkpoint but that too fails with a mysterious error.  In addition, many Google hits on the 6 b says that it's a hardware problem.  But he was executed until the Windows update, with nothing in the case where newspapers to indicate hardware problems.

    Then, I decided to do a restore from the image of what I started with.  At least it ran, even though she could not be updated.

    I no longer dig and see a bunch of updates to the firmware/software for this machine, including the BIOS.  Even saw some strange 'Windows updates' HP.  I thought maybe it was something like the fiasco when the power management update for Intel processors had on machines AMD, thus paralyzing them!  Still nothing - WU still does not work!

    Tried again to return to the original image, hoping that maybe to install all updates of office/hardware/driver on a virgin machine solve the problem.  Nope-WU still does not work.  Even went back through all the suggested fixed (saved as .bat files everthing).  Nothing, nada...

    So, I'm posting here in hopes that someone has a miracle cure that I missed.

    Hello:

    I don't have a magic bullet...

    The same thing happened to me while working on a friends HP 8100 Elite CMT, Windows 7 Pro, HP original image.

    Would not install SP1 or Windows updates. I tried every trick in the book and after spending more than two hours, going nowhere, including restore from the recovery discs, I decided to install a plain OS W7 clean add drivers myself using the product key for W7 on the PC.

    It has worked well.

    You can do the same thing if you can read the product key of W7 on the bottom of the laptop, and your nephew can't live without programs that was shipped with the PC.

    In addition, if you format the drive and just install W7 on current partition, you can probably find the program of the installation files for the programs supplied with the PC in the SWSetup folder.

    Here's how to do when you don't have installation of W7 media.

    Use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. The link below. You need a DVD or a 4 GB flash drive using the USB compilation method.

    Use the product key of windows 7 of 25 characters to activate your installation.

    http://download.CNET.com/Windows-7-USB-DVD-download-tool/3000-18513_4-10972600.html

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below. Download the Windows 7 version that is on your product (Home Premium, professional or ultimate) key to apply.

    Hi there @Brugalgirl

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff. I understand that your computer does not start successfully, and you found a Smart Drive 301 error code. I'm happy to help you with this.

    I checked the ID of the failure, you've posted and verifies that the error. Unfortunately, this means that your hard drive needs to be replaced.  In view of the fact that the system does not boot, it is likely that the hard drive is completely unreadable, but depending on what you have on this subject, it may be worth your while to check with a local computer service shop and see if they can help to recover data from your hard drive.

    If your system is relatively new and may be covered by the warranty, or if you wish to fix with HP for the guarantee system, you can call in hotline to make these arrangements. In this case, please use the following http://www.hp.com/contacthp and create a folder for your question and contact HP. If you do not live in the United States / Canada, please click on the link below to get contact information for your region.
    http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/contact-HP/WW-phone-assist.html

    Otherwise you can look at a replacement hard drive yourself. If you have a set of recovery media, then you already have a factory image HP, which allows you to put in place a new hard drive with your original operating system. If is no longer, you have a set or did not have a set of recovery media, so you can see if there are not yet available for your model.

  • SMART hard disk error after replacing HD

    Hello!

    I SO hope that this someboidy is able to help me.

    I'm NOT a novice but I am confused.

    I replaced with the same model HD HD CQ58 provided with COMPAQ because the old HD was shot - how it happened escapes me.

    Anyhoo, after screwing a new HD I wanted to put OS on it, but I get the following error just after pressing set button / stop:

    I tried the LINK, it does not exist.

    I also went in the Boot Options in the BIOS to boot from a USB and put the USB HD in the first place.

    When I restart it does not recognize a USB key. I tried Windows 8 and UBUNTU which ususally works on all the machines I've fixed so far.

    No chance whatsoever.

    As I mentioned earlier:

    I'm puzzled.

    I have no recovery CD and cannot make one because I'm not running Win8 on any of my PC.

    Thus, any suggestions?

    Help, please

    Thanks in advance

    Henry of Kai

    First of all:

    Thank you all very much for taking the time and you answer!

    And now, for what happened after I did all what has been proposed:

    Nothing.

    The message remained the same.

    Still no hard drive (even if it was new)

    Then I took a hard drive to work with Win7 on it from another machine, put it in the Compaq and... nothing.

    I tried the USB with Win8 (NTFS with Rufus) does not.

    I don't know why, I tried again, but when I used the same USB with UBUNTU Live - 14.04. on that I had taken or tried before... He recognized at startup.

    Weird hard drive wiped completely since it was not recognized by the BIOS (one with Win7 on it... data paths but I had backup ).

    So, now I'm running the faithful Tahr on the Compaq and it works fine.

    I will try to put the original Win8 on it, but the system doesn't seem like more since USB NTFS NTFS are not recongised at startup.

    Well Anyhoo, I got the machine to work.

    Would have been nice to know what was wrong with him to solve future problems, but at least I had to register in this forum

    So I could bore you guys with questions in the future.

    Take care

  • intelligent control of hard disk detected an imminent failure

    Intelligent control of hard disk detected an imminent failure on disk 1. I have a Pavilion g7.1081nr laptop.

    Hello

    If you start getting SMART errors, this would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.  If you can still boot into Windows, I strongly suggest to do a backup of all your personal files, etc., as soon as you can.

    If your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange for the disk 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.

    Sorry to bring bad news, but... If you have a SMART hard disk error then the drive is toast. There is no way around that.

    The INTELLIGENT notification system gives you a report that the BIOS sees when it queries the hard disk during the Power On Self Test, he always does before the start in the Windows operating system.

    I hope that you have created a set of HP recovery cd. If you did, then you still have your operating system intact. If you do not, you can buy a replacement of HP recovery disk. They are inexpensive.

  • My iPod nano 2nd generation gets disk errors after installing iTunes?

    I use my iPod nano 2nd generation for... Wow little almost 10 years now and of course is not as sensitive, a little laggy sometimes, battery life isn't as good but still never had real problems with it that can be repaired by a reset. Well not until now and I have not really money to spend to get a new, in particular the fact that practically it still works fine on his own, just that I can not add or remove pieces of her more.

    The problem

    It seems that the computer has trouble reading the device. Whenever I plug my iPod nano 2nd generation USB in my laptop (Windows 10), which has some sort of interaction with it freezes. For the moment I plug in, programs such as Winamp, iTunes, File Explorer (if I click my computer-> try to right click on the drive, that says all F: drive instead of the usual name recognized as "My iPod."), the Device Manager when I try to turn Apple iPod USB Driver and the small icon in the system tray when you try to eject the drop-down list no longer appears, all these programs themselves just freeze and unresponsive until I unplug the device. In Event Viewer, the moment where I plug it, it gets spammed by looping errors to:

    Error: The device, \Device\Harddisk1\DR21, has a bad block.

    ATTENTION: An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\DR21 during a paging operation.

    So, basically, it seems that the computer is blocked just not try to read and recognize the device, which means that I can't really do anything with it. The iPod itself seems to work fine, I can hear songs, recharge the battery and other things, earlier I can't add or remove pieces of her.

    Stuff leading up to it

    A year or two before, I used to manage the ipod via itunes (a relatively old version of time too I guess since I almost never update) until I formatted my laptop some time ago and never bored computer reinstall itunes. Since then, I really didn't need to change anything to my iPod and just use Winamp (my default music player) to the add/remove songs when I needed to. Today, I decided to install iTunes because there are some things that winamp cannot do as add embedded lyrics and also winamp blurs the sorted list of the song. Since then, after you have installed the new iTunes, start freezing and program I get the problems described above. There might be a chance that iTunes was not the real culprit and the disc was already beginning to get corrupted or something somehow, but I can't think of anything that's happened before this problem started.

    I tried many things

    • Uninstalled iTunes and all the other stuff related to the installation as pie, Apple Mobile Device Support... .etc
    • Reinstall the device driver USB Apple iPod. When I turn it off (Plug in iPod-> iPod poster 'do not disconnect'-->--> Device Manager driver right click-> disable-> Device Manager freezes up-> unplug ipod-> Device Manager-> thaws plug ipod in) ipod becomes simply the State of charge. Steps to reinstall is the same (need to plug and unplug).
    • Reset iPod in now the Center button + menu button.
    • Will then resetting operation rewind + Centre button iPod diagnostic mode. It is not a test disc hard because I guess nano doesn't have a disc hard just flash ram. Anyway, when I select SDRAM QScan he only says: "SDRAM OK." NAND_SPEC gives "NandLBA = 1982464". Flash gives Checksum "Checksum is 0x26AF".
    • Wanted to try as described here to check for disk errors, but cannot because the computer cannot correctly recognize and explore freezes if I right click. I tried using 'chkdsk f:' in the command prompt, but that seems to hang as well.
    • Switches mode disc reset ipod then now Center + play button. Then connect the laptop... etc, same problem.

    It's a pretty old device, so it seems that support because it is very rare. I didn't install iTunes could screw up the device that it is intended to support and do anything as permanent as this one.

    You must exclude a faulty USB, cable anchorage, try another, or using your power with another Apple device cable, to confirm that it works correctly.

    Otherwise, your troubleshooting seems complete.  If that's what you've done for disc Mode

    How to put your iPod in disc - Apple Support mode

    and connection to your computer causes this issue General 'freeze' with multiple processes, the iPod has possibly a hardware problem.  Flash storage eventually.  Or it can be a problem on the logic board of the iPod.

    I suggest try to reformat the iPod using Windows, as if it were a USB flash drive.  But you can only do if the system hangs when you connect iPod.

    NOTE: If you find a way to reformat iPod using Windows, use FAT32 as the disc format.  If there is an option to do a quick format, do a full format instead.  Once the process is complete, the iPod is totally blank.  You do restore using iTunes (if you are prompted or not), to the embedded iPod software.

  • MacBook Air wouldn't startup after starting get disk error

    I was getting full boot disk error on my Macbook Air 2012 model a few times, and then it stopped starting (folder flashing with question mark began to appear). I followed the instructions on this site If flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac - Apple Support

    but failed to copy data from the drive on an external hard disk. I could see my boot (MacintoshHD) on the disc utilities drive, but could the volume seems to be not mounted.  The size of the disk is 128 GB and only 12 MB seems to be free.

    1 has started the macbook in recovery mode. In disk utility, run check disk and repair utilities disk for the startup disk (MacintoshHD). No problems in the generated logs. The volume is not mounted and is dimmed.

    2 selected MacintoshHD and tried to unlock it. The system tried for a while, and the password window disappeared after some time with the MacintoshHD via disk utility.  When I restart the machine again in recovery, disk MacintoshHD reappears in the same situation.

    3. I was able to start the macbook after installing a new version of OS X in an external hard drive. During the installation of OS X, I couldn't copy the data from the volume MacintoshHD (possibly the drive is locked).

    4. I could not start my macbook in safe mode.

    My query is-

    1. I had not backed up my data by any means. What are my current options to copy my data MacintoshHD?

    2. because the MacintoshHD is locked and attempts to unlock it had no disk utility, it will help if I start my macbook target disk mode, connect to another mac via a thunderbolt cable and try to copy data?

    According to the published specifications, your PC comes with a standard SATA 3 1/2 ".

    After you remove the disk, check the capacity on the label, because there are different sizes available options when you buy the PC.

    So, no matter what another 3 1/2 "this capacity SATA drive will do.

    Hi Robert

    AFAIK This oldie can treat only 1.3 GB HARD drive. How much capacity has a new HARD drive?
    Unfortunately, it is not easy to say what is the problem, because who knows what you do exactly and what operating system you want to use. Just for info. This old Portege comes with Windows 95 and you should try to use the same operating system.

    "Invalid system disk error means that Windows Setup could not copy the system files on the hard drive.

    Also, check the download page for Toshiba under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU and under archive, you will find some useful stuff for this old book.

    Good luck!
