M6 Notebook Hard Drive Problems

Hello

I have a m6-1045dx Pavilion Notebook, processor i5, 8 GB RAM, 750 GB hard drive @5400 RPM, Windows 8 (upgrade from Win7).

I worked on creating a partition on my hard drive dual-boot Windows and Ubuntu.  In doing so, I found that my hard drive had to be verified by chkdsk.  After trying this and portable computer lock-down, I ran the UEFI component tests and found that the short DST Test failed while the successful optimized DST Test.  What does that mean? Should I try to replace my hard drive, or is there a solution to this problem?

Thank you in advance!

Hi pshuff

Failure of the short test (DST) disk Self would indicate the hard drive is faulty and must be replaced. If you can still access Windows, I would backup all my personal files etc as soon as possible.

If your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP directly with the id of the failure of 24 digits, having the replaced disk.

Thank you

  • Compaq Evo Notebook - hard drive problem

    Hi eveyone,

    I bought a Compaq Evo Notebook online on eBay two years ago. Yesterday, I went to use it on and got an error of the controller. So I moved the computer and noticed the my cat peeded and he went under the computer and go to some of them in the area of the hard drive. I quickly turned it off and took apart and gently he cleaned with wet towels and let rest overnight with dehumidifiers. I then put together around noon and the computer will not start past the compaq logo, but when I took out the hard drive and tried to see if it would start past the logo, what he did and when I put a CD/OS-Ubuntu and it went to the operating system install screen (since it has an option from the CD). Anyone know what I can do to be able to at least install Ubuntu, rather than start from the CD or recover windows XP.

    Thanks for any help provided.

    It seems that the hard drive has been damaged by the cat wee, you can buy a usb hard drive adapter and connect it to another PC, see if it will be displayed in the Solution Explorer, if it copies your files off quickly.

  • Qosmio F60 turning is not on - HARD drive problem

    Re: do everything or send it as it is only 6 months old, it is Bernard did this for 5 months

    Hello

    It sounds a bit like a HARD drive problem.
    I recommend checking out the HARD drive using a free tool called Drive Fitness Test
    This free tool allows you to get more details on the State of the HARD drive and maybe some error would be detected which would mean that HARD drive failures and disk HARD must be replaced.

  • Alternative to the reset by Satellite A660 for potential HARD drive problem

    In the last week or two, I got a few blue screens, saying he was driving demand, and that windows must be shut down to avoid damage my computer.

    I have just restart and continue working.
    The last time it happened, I had repeatedly "initialization failed" and it says hdd, SDS, fdd. If I pressed the power button until I didn't see no signs of activity, then started. Things went well. I called Toshiba support and they recommended that I go home and save my files before continuing. It took hours selectively to clean, sort the previous backups, and a small footprint of the backup system.

    When I called Toshiba once again, they recommended a "takeover", which is restoring the factory settings. It puts me in the stone age. I have to go through a never-ending process of the upgrade to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, install and reconfigure all the applications and environments/configurations, etc. It will essentially take on holiday, if not more. I'll also have to get another computer (maybe a netbook) to stay in touch while I restart my laptop. It's barely more than a year.

    Is there a diagnosis I can do to determine the probability that there is a hard drive problem? Support for Toshiba said that is the surest way, because it provides a diagnostic F10 for the hard disk code, and it also pushes the bad sectors at the end of the disc (logically, I suppose, since you can't physically move a fault).

    > About Hitachi DFT, is it important that my HARD drive is Toshiba mk6465gsx? This is what is displayed "Hard drives" in the Device Manager.

    It s no matter what HARD drive manufacturer, it is the Drive Fitness Test is able to scan all hard drives to find errors.

    > Also, http://www.hitachigst.com/support/downloads/#DFTshows links to create boot disks, but I was wondering if I could create a bootable instead.

    Not sure if this is possible if there is that one option to create a startup disk, and then a flash stick does not work. But of course you can try this out.

    > This laptop does not come with a floppy drive, and I still create coasters trying to burn discs.
    You don't need the floppy drive, the tool must create a disk bootable (CD)

    > I guess that the same question can be asked on Memtest86. Another issue is the relevance of Memtest86 for my system. My c drive has a "Program Files" folder, but also a "Program Files (x 86)" folder for 32-bit applications. Memtest86 is for the x 86 architecture. I don't know if my 64-bit Windows 7 involves a non - x 86 architecture.

    I guess that Memtest86 should also work on Win 7 64 bit systems. But also the MemTest 4.20 is 64-bit capable

I then ran a test HARD drive and there is no problem, so I just kept using my laptop, but the same thing with the lock upward and initialize the problem persisted and whenever I ran HDD test it came out without any problem.

    > When I try to start with the original application and driver Recovery DVD

    "Application and driver Recovery DVD" are not a (hardware) boot media, you need an operating system to be installed first.

    OS install first, after that the drivers and applications.

  • HP Pavilion Notebook Hard drive question and OS reinstall

    I have a HP Pavilion dv4-2155dx Entertainment Notebook PC, series: CND0053PFN.

    I recently received an error message of the INTELLIGENT notification that a failure of the hard drive was imminent (I also had a flat battery as well, thank YOU HP!). I backed up my files to an external hard drive to COMPUSA, bought a new hard drive and installed. I inserted one of my computer come with recovery disks (HP or Best Buy made so I can't make new ones if I wanted to). After a minute or two of hearing the reader has read that I received an error "No Bootable disc - insert boot disk and press any key." Tried several times more. Reorganize the BIOS settings to make the drive to read first, no help.

    I then came here, looked at a few other discussions. They were no help. (this is a as http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-e-g/no-bootable-Device-Insert-Boot-Disk-and-... I watched)

    I tried most of the things on this page, including download of the boot disk utility, but even after the creation of this disc, I still get the "No Bootable disc - insert the startup disk, and then press any key" error. I then put the old hard drive new, and played music CDs to ensure that my drive was reading. It did not work properly. He also burned a disc as well so I think it's OK.

    I tried to make an iso image to the new disk plugged hard upward with a USB connection and this is where I met another problem. My laptop said that there are only 98 GB available on the new drive connected by USB. It is a 250 GB drive.

    What can I do to get just my copy of Windows on the new drive, so I can use my laptop without fear of a hard drive failure in the middle of a test for the College or something like that?

    Thank you.

    Hello:

    I can't help with the problem of recovery disk, but if you can read the product key 25 character Microsoft Windows on the bottom of your PC, you can do your own installation of W7 (DVD or a flashdrive bootable) media.

    Here's how:

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    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.

  • iMac hard drive problem

    My older iMac 8.1 (Intel Core 2), running OS x 10.9 ran slow, then a few application icons disappears from the display, after a restart, the application has stopped working completely. I tried to reinstall OSX, when this does not work, I did a full erase and reinstall it again, still none of my apps does not work. It manifests itself, and when I click it, it does nothing. I even went back to my original OSX 10.6 Snow Leppard and reinstalled drive and my desktop icons appeared for a few minutes and then everthing disappeared. Also, this has happened during execution of 10.9 as well. Now the only thing that the computer be used to mail is electronic and Safari. I can't run programs and do not have access to HD. If I tried to re - install 10.9, it tells me that it is impossible at this time. I think that my HD is dead? You wanted to check before I replaced it. It starts well, can run internet but not impossible to install, download or run programs. Disk First aid indicates that the computer is fine. Can not really afford to buy a new Mac now, so hoping that this can be a cheaper alternative.

    How much free space on the hard drive?

    There is no 100% way to check the health of a hard disk. Disk utility check alone is doing a part-time job to check the directory structure but not physical integrity of the reader. If you select the top level of a drive in disk utility and then file > retrieves the information of to half way down you can see the report of the SMART State which can indicate if a drive is having problems.  With one of my discs that I checked that feature, but it was not picking up on several defective sectors systematically producing errors.

    The only real way to test a faulty hardware on a computer is to isolate the part (normally in the replacement, or do without it) and see if the issues go away.

    I always keep a clone bootable backup of my drive on a separate drive so I can still boot from the second disk to see if it's an internal drive error.  Having this type of backup is just a part of the ownership of a computer.

    I suppose there is also the possibility, it's another problem as the RAM.  A bad drive would be more consistent as to what elements show problems such as you see.

    You can check on sites like ifixit or OWC (macsales.com) for instructional videos on how to replace the disks.

  • Internal hard drive problem

    I just hard drive of my laptop, replaced by a service center because it is still under warranty. They replaced my old hard drive with a HTS541040G9SA00 that when I search on the internet I discovered that is made by HITACHI, im wondering if it is safe to use this drive or is it compatible with my computer toshiba laptop and that i will not be a problem to use it. Thank you!!!

    If a service is to swap your disk that worry Don t, they must use original parts. So if your hard drive is not available, they had to use a spare part which is compatible, too.

    I had the same situation with my machine. I got a samsung player, then, after a headcrash I brought to a service partner and they exchanged the drive and put a toshiba in there. I asked them the same question you have posted and they said the same thing what I you said. ;)

    So I just give you a little information. :)

  • Satellite A100: UNMOUNTED_BOOT_VOLUME HARD drive problem

    My A100 (XP media edition) does not start at the top is normal, safe mode (all types), the last known config as the recovery disk does not work. Error message is unmounted_boot_volume.

    Is there a solution?
    is that what the recoverable data?
    If the new HARD drive is purchased the recovery disk allows you to reinstall the OS?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Robbo88

    As far as I know this error message appears if the HARD drive boot sector is damaged.
    Usually, the new installation of the operating system should help to get rid of this problem.

    If you cannot boot from the recovery CD, I would recommend the original Microsoft windows XP CD boot and start the repair console. Here, you can use the fixmbr command to repair the boot sector.

    Of course, this problem can be caused by a HARD disk failure.
    In this case, the HARD drive must be replaced.

  • Satellite A210 - 17l BIos update to take care of advanced format HARD drive problem

    Hi all

    Really hoping someone can help me with this.

    My old HDD not was not so I cloned the entire disc before it failed. -Just in time, too.

    I ordered a new drive - it's a WD scorpio black - Advanced format.

    Unfortunately I can't get my picture on this new album.

    Also, I am unable to do a reinstall with the original restore also cd because it doesn't have service pack 1 and that means that it can't recognize the HD.

    In any case id prefer to be able to restore my image and not make a re-install when even if possible.

    So my question is this:

    Y at - it an update of the bios I can ask my another pc version 2.00 is available which will include options to change the options of ide drive - ahci?

    It's the only solution I can think of-bearing in mind I do not have an operating system installed, so the alignment tools are not an option as another fix. -Fast technology of storage Intel drivers do not work, because I have an AMD athlon processor.

    So is there any BIOS I can Flash my computer with to activate the options mentioned?

    I have a method to Flash the bios with a BONE, so this isn't a problem.

    Also other suggestions for workaround on this more than welcome.

    Thanks :))

    The_red_pill.

    Hello

    Update BIOS don t help you. To my knowledge, it does not add additional options such as a switch between AHCI and compatible mode.
    In addition, you can use ANY BIOS. You must use the BIOS that came out for the model of laptop. But as I said, this isn't a solution.

    In addition, the image of Toshiba already contains all the drivers in order to install the system. It s any SP1 isn t the image part.

    I guess you're talking about Vista OS, given that the laptop came with pre-installed Vista OS. http://www.Toshiba.co.UK/discontinued-products/Equium-A210-17I/

    I recommend you format the HARD drive first.
    Use a tool called Gparted. You can create a bootable USB key containing this tool.
    This allows to start Notepad in order to format the HARD drive.

  • Portege 7220 - replacement hard drive problem

    I have a Portege 7220 CTe Windows 98se. The hard drive is deteriorating slowly (bad sectors), so I decided to replace it. The old drive is a Toshiba 6 GB. The news is an IBM/Hitachi Travelstar 10 GB - so-called and apparently unused but dated from 01 Sept.

    Summary: the drive has worked once in the Portege, but doesn't work anymore. It continues to operate through a USB interface to another system.

    I did the following. (I don't know that there are a lot of unimportant details, I just can't tell who might be relevant):

    -Checked the new drive with Hitachi Drive Fitness Test. Ran on the Portege, booting from CD in the docking station. The perfect extract player.
    -Make a backup image the old drive on another computer (XP desktop computer) using a USB box and the reflection of Macrium.
    -Restored the image to the new drive (using the same USB box).
    -In Ran XP Scandisk and defragmentation on the restored drive (no problem, does significant defrag)
    -Cleanly removed from the XP system USB and road of the housing
    -Put the new, restored in car in the Portege and turned on.

    The system could not start, (indirectly) saying that HIMEM. SYS was missing. I plugged the drive into the XP system. Indeed \WINDOWS\HIMEM. SYS was missing, along with the rest of the content of \WINDOWS. The rest of the matching content to the backup. ???????

    I copied \WINDOWS to the backup image to the new drive. Neatly removed from the XP system and put in the Portege.

    Starting from Win98 system. I tried to start a random application and become system that is not responding.

    From this point, I may have not all the actions in the order, but I doubt that counts. I tried the following:

    -Hitachi Drive Fitness Test running. He first found the drive but returned an error 'drive not ready '. After repeated attempts to re-seat assigned, check on the XP system, etc it is unable to find the drive to all the
    -Go into the BIOS at startup. Sometimes found the drive, sometimes not.
    -Office XP still recognizes the player very well via the USB interface. ScanDisk is happy with it, including the surface scan. Hitachi utility only works with ATA or SCSI disks, and I do not have an ATA desktop-laptop adapter.
    -Made a new restoration of the saved image. It worked well, but the Portege wouldn't even find the drive.
    -Tried the old drive and a travelstar 6 GB to another system in the Portege. Both work very well.
    -Tried the new disk in a Portege 7020. Do not just like in the 7220.

    I thought maybe it was a power issue. But the two Travelstars (one that works and a new one that doesn't) are valued at 500 my. The old disk from Toshiba which also always works is estimated at 700mA.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Apparently, there's something wrong with your 10 GB travelstar, maybe the MBR or the boot sector

    the fact that you can read with a USB connector doesn't mean that the HD is correct, since you do not need the boot sector of this way

    I would advice to wipe it completely (with cleandisk or boot-TI-NG), make a new partition with fdisk and reformat the HD in fat32 format

    That to do a fresh install with W98, or better: W2000, which spans a 7220 easily and is much better

    It is best to copy the directory to install W2000, integer i386 installation CD - on the 10 GB HD (which can be done on another PC with a USB connection) and begin the installation of BACK with Windows NT. EXE
