NEW HARD DRIVE DOESN'T HAVE A SEATOOLS TEST

I posted the 3/22 on having missing NTLDR. Joel suggested the Seatools and it turned out to be a bad hard drive. Replaces and I tried recovery with a set of newly purchased recovery disks. Recovery did not work, I was told I needed work for drives cd-rom drive to work. Just put in the new rom but the recovery still does not work. It says it's from recovery, but does nothing. Very quiet PC and no action on the drive light. I tried the Seatools and it failed the short test. I don't know if it's software/driver error or pilot error.

Hi Joel,

Sorry for the confusion. Re-reading the post looks that I speak in square circles. I was on my way to the door when I decided to make the post, just got back. The disk set is new. I got it computer surgeons, a third-party provider, exclusively for HP/Compaq recovery kits. I got for them through HP. HP initially sent me the wrong set, when I contacted them on this matter, they said that they no longer have the number build for my pc.  The guy at computer surgeons is one that says that I need a cd rom to work to perform a recovery, the multi media player would not work. It always seems strange to me. I did the Seatools test you advised on the first HARD disk, I had and he failed. The place where I had sent me another. He said that he would go several tests on her before shipment to make sure it was ok, and if I still had a problem it was probably the discs. I got this drive yesterday and it included the results of Seatools test with it. After installing it I ran again the Seatools. I wanted to make sure it was ok before I did anything. If something went wrong, I knew that I could not blame the HARD drive. Hope this clears it a bit for you.

UPDATE: HANG THE FLAG! Issued either solved!  I tried the recovery discs again but this time I hit retry on two mistakes, that I continue to do - cannot recover, recover Windows 32 and couldnot, creator of tools. I gave up after several retrys who kept popping up but has not left the installation. I am in the process now of to update and delete.

    Hello

    You must copy the library Lightroom (.lrcat) file and the original images from your Time Machine backup disk. If you have not created a backup on a separate time Machine unit (or other backup processes) of your iMac, then you're probably out of luck, unless the defective hard drive can be recovered.

    I am passing the VM as a virtual machine type and the path of the disk as a string by the docs.

    Any help would be appreciated. Especially if I'm doing something stupid. It is such a simple function.

    I thought as well

    The virtual machine can be a VM object or even a string with the name of the virtual machine. The functionality of the object by name (NVOS) will ensure that the hard drive New cmdlet retrieves the virtual computer object. And Yes, the path is a string.

    If you assign the hard drive manually, then do a Get-hard drive, you see the same way that you use in your script?

I just have to buy a new hard drive to get the laptop working again, or is much more complicated than that. My guess is this one.

    Thanks in advance for any help provided

    The first question is: did you create recovery media (USB key)?
    If do not do this if for a long time your HARD drive works OK. original recovery image is saved on the HARD drive, but you must have it USB backup that you can use to install if the disk needs to be replaced.
    Do it as soon as possible. More info on what you can read in s operating manuals.

    What to do with the HARD drive? In my opinion if long as it works it has no reason to panic. Use your laptop as usual. If you notice some performance or more error messages problems I think that you should replace it.

    Replacing the HARD drive doesn't have to be so problematic. HARD drive cover must be placed in the lower corner of your laptop. The smallest is RAM and cotyledon should be for the HARD drive. Check it out.

    Before do you that this is remove the battery and unplug your computer laptop AC adapter / CC.

    If you have no experience with such things please don't made some risky step. You can damage something.
