No HARD disk detected on dv6-3111sa

Hello

I have a HP Pavilion dv6-3111sa provided with win7 x 64 version, everything was great, can not complain. A few days ago, I was playing with a live version of a different operating system, and I didn't pay enough attention to the installation options. I managed to delete the HP partition by accident. Windows would not start after the splash screen, after that, linux has been fine starting and accessing the drive. Do not have recovery discs. I downloaded an iso file of win7 official hoping to use it with my serial number, but it does not find my hard disk and ask drivers. I downloaded all the drivers for my model and put them on a stick, but the Installer do not like them. Hard drive is fine and the C: partition is intact and readable/writable in linux.

Can I do to solve this problem? I realized I can order recovery disks, but they are 30 quid and I really don't want to pay what I don't know that would work either. Its still in warranty, but I really don't want to take to the store and lose my machine for a few days.

Thank you very much.

I think you're on the 'need to buy recovery disk option.  I don't think that you have other options at this point, if you want to use the operating system that you paid for.

Otherwise, you can use Linux to refer the reader to the CRUDE State and then install Windows to him.

The problem is that installation you did or started probably chagned inadvertently format the drive to a Linux style format. It will not be recognized by and the Windows operating system until it is in the format RAW or FAT32 / NTFS.

    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.

  • No HARD disk detected desktop Pavilion 500 PC series

    Hello

    I have a desktop HP Pavilion 500 PC series

    Serial No.:

    Prod #: H5Q30AA #ABA

    Model #: 500-016

    When I start the PC I get the error "No Boot Disk Found".  Sometimes, I get the 'start Recovery', but then the computer system hangs indefinitely.

    How can I order a new HARD drive or recovery discs so that I can burn a new image on an existing (new) HDD?

    I tried to call support, but they wanted $$ just to troubleshoot the problem.

    I'm pretty savy to replace the drive or burn a new computer image.  Can someone tell me how I can order the necessary drive or the discs?

    Thank you

    Jim

    Thank you.

    I was able to order the recovery disks.  It's a shame phone support staff comes to tell me this at the beginning.

    I am considering this case "closed".

    Thank you

  • Dv6 hard disk 3F0 problem

    I have a HP DV6-6001TX with the 6770 m GC. I tried to boot my laptop for a while now, but every time he says hard disk not detected and undetected boot device. I tried to secure the connection from the HARD disk several times without success. What should I do now?

    Hello

    It is perhaps that your hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced.

    As a new trial and to help eliminate a problem with the Sata controller, try the following.

    Follow the procedure below to create a bootable Ubuntu CD and follow the steps in part 3 of 'Try' to see if the operating system is running.  The option 'Try' runs the operating system from the CD without having to install on your HARD drive.  If it works Ok (it will be slow running on a CD), this would tend to confirm that the problem is only with the HARD drive.

    If your laptop is still under warranty, you can contact HP and arrange for the replaced HARD disk - you can check your warranty status.

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

  • Portege M400 - XP Setup cannot detect any HARD disk

    Hello world

    I have everything, what I can and can't try. During the Installation of Windows XP cannot detect any HARD disk.

    PORTEGE M400 PPM40E-0DG0253I
    BIOS 3.8

    Installation of Vista properly with RAID, but XP installation drivers won't work for all that. I try a lot of drivers (versions even for Vista), with integration of nLite, with SD-start 16-bit back, DriverPacks. I bought no change - disk-USB, the laptop cannot see HDD. I try also with the USB-SATA external enclosure, but this without success, but I can see the HARD drive

    Any ideas?

    Somehow you lack driver SATA.
    Very good description how to prepare the CD of facilities, you can find HERE.

  • Satellite L650 - Windows detected a hard disk problem

    I have 9 as 4 months old satellite L650 that this microsoft Windows message keeps popping up. "Windows detected a hard disk problem, back up your files immediately to prevent the loss of information... etc" have I not a bum hard drive or is it a mistake?
    I have
    have the media discs to recover and this means that I have to reformat the HARD drive and try again. !

    Hi watthhel,

    I think the error message must be correct to Windows 7 and you must do what tells you the message: immediately back up your data and replace the HARD drive with a new one. In your case I would never save important files on the HARD drive. Too risky to lose important files

    Your laptop is 4 months old and that would mean it s covered by the warranty. Contact your local authorized service provider and ask for a replacement drive. They will exchange it and the service is free. :)

  • Airport utility in windows 10 detect but wireless internet does not detect the hard disk, how to do?

    Airport utility in windows 10 does not detect the hard disk, how to?, the Office detect wireless internet no hard drive.

    What hard drive? It of a time capsule, or is it a drive connected to an airport extreme?

    What model number is the most convenient airport?

    Any plugged into USB drive must be formatted FAT32 (no other type of FAT as exFAT) or HFS +, IE standard Apple format.

    In addition, not all drives are recognized.

    The internal drive of the TC must be recognized, but there could be problems as well according to the age.

  • On the Satellite C - Windows HARD disk failure has detected a HARD disk problem

    Since 2 days have been making repeated dialog "Windows detected a hard disk problem", warning of potential failures of the disc so back up, what I did. Disk in question is a Toshiba MK-5065GSXN.

    As a non-tech user, my instinct is that a new laptop is a better choice than to call Toshiba support for a laptop warranty (2 years) out of.

    On the other hand there may be a simple software fix. The opinion or advice welcome

    Hello

    The message says that something is wrong with the HARD drive.
    It might be possible that your HARD drive will die sooner or later so his need to backup data on another HARD drive, disk or flash memory.

    Finally, I must say you n don't need to buy a new laptop just because your HARD drive starts to hurt work in such cases purchase a new HARD drive and replace it
    HARD drive is not very expensive and the replacement of the HARD disk is very easy in your user manual

    PS: what model of laptop you have exactly?

  • MacBook pro cannot detect ANY hard disk

    Greetings,

    I have a 13 macbook pro (mid-2012 a1278) inches and when he start shows the folder with the question mark. I think that bad hard drive, so I get a new drive, drop it in and then try to start a recovery from the internet.

    After connecting to the internet and download the recovery image, I load disk utility, and he does not see the new hard drive. Am I a bad disc, I wonder?

    So I drop the old drive in a hard disk enclosure and connect to an another macbook, and that is, I can see all the files. I put the new drive in the caddy and it can detect and partition/format the new drive.

    Thus, the macbook can not see any hard drive.

    This seems to be functional in the case, as I can load the internet recovery image and exploit all the basic functions (Restore disk, time machine, access to the network, keyboard and mouse, etc.)

    It will not just to see the hard drive.

    I've never had a hard disk controller macbook to go ahead without him taking the rest of the macbook with her. Am I missing something?

    Your MBP may very well have a bad hard drive cable.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-1354us: HP dv6-1354us, hard disk Max

    Hi, I need to replace the hard drive on my dv6-1354us. Does anyone know the side max from the hard drive, it can accept? Thank you.

    The manual only tells you different sizes, HP offered from the factory. HP does not document a maximum size of hard disk for each system. SATA has no inherent limit of size as old IDE drives. Some desktop computers have trouble with 3 TB and more large drives ultra high density, but it's not a problem in laptops, where most current HARD drive size is 2 TB. 1 TB is the sweet spot right now in terms of price/capacity.

  • Why my computer says "Windows has detected a hard disk problem", even though it says that the drive works fine in the properties?

    Hello

    I was doing some courses on my computer until this window came on my screen and playback;
    "Windows detected a hard disk problem. I immediately went and checked in the properties to see the current status of the disk, and it says "this device is working properly" I am confused and decided to restart my computer. Again, read the error message and it says that the disc was allowed in properties. Every 15 minutes or so, the same error message. I'm running on Windows Vista Edition Home Premium and have had the computer since 2008. Is this a virus? Or - is this just the computer falsely detect a problem?
    Can anyone help please?

    Thank you very much

    What you see in the drive properties in Device Manager has to do with drivers and the drive configuration, not the real state 'physical' the reader.

    First of all, I error side of caution and if sure you have a backup of all your personal files, data, music, photos, contacts, movies, etc., external media (favorite external hard drive).

    Run the check disk (chkdsk); I suggest to run with two checked options, difficulty of file system errors and scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

    How to run the check disk at startup in Vista or Windows 7

    Many manufacturers of computers and most hard disk manufacturers have diagnostic tools free you can download and run to check the status of your drive. Check on the web sites of their respective support.

  • Windows detected a hard disk problem

    I have a dell dimension E520 running Vista Home Basic 32-bit. It is about 2 years old. After login, I get the following message in a dialog box. The message continues pop - up every 10 minutes, or so...

    "Windows detected a hard disk problem and you need to back up the files and contact the manufacturer to determine whether the disk should be repaired or replaced."

    I have run "chkdsk" and also contacted Dell who advised a full diagnosis running. This indicates that all aspects of the computer and the hard drive are ok.

    Hello tassie steve,.

    You should replace the disk, and then clone on all content, including the MBR (master boot record) to the new drive. What brand you buy, you'll be able to download this free utility software from their site. Do it now, while you can always transfer your data! Hope this helps you. Make it a great day!

  • Cannot start Windows, Windows Setup does not detect the hard disk, Bootmgr is misiing

    I have a few problems on my laptop [Acer 3810 t]

    -The first problem
    My mobile give me screen "cannot start windows' who have 2 choices: run the Startup Repair tool and boot normally. I chose to fix it, but nothing happens and stuck "starting windows" and gives unmountable boot volume 'blue screen '. the Dungeon of blues screen appear (for laptop is a not restart). So I turned off my phone and turn it back on it. the "could not start" screen again and I chose to start normally. but the result is negative. My portable Dungeon cannot start windows. Because of that I am using the advanced boot option and choose all the boot type such asit cannot load the safemode, last configuration etc, but the result is the same, you cannot start windows. in safe mode, its stuck in loading fileinfo.sys. I do not give up to try again with the advanced boot option. until I have a bad situation. My laptop can only 1 file in safe mode and blues screen do not appear again (my laptop only return at the beginning of start or restart)

    -The second problem
    because it cant solved, I want to reinstall my laptop. My OS is Vista 32 bit (pre-installed). I want to install the new operating system, windows 7. I use Dsik Flash bootable USB to install Windows 7. But in the BIOS, it is detected as a USB HDD. So I set my BIOS to load USB HDD to the first order. the installation can be done, but only until the "start Setup" screen and its deadlock. I have it wait up to an hour, but nothing happens. So I'm going to BIOS, change SATA mode to IDE mode AHCI. Then load the USB and go "installation program start screen. but the new problem is the installation of window does not detect my hard drive. So I can not choose the place to install the operating system. I have to load the driver, but I did not. Again to load the configuration to AHCI and IDE, until I get my HDD can detected in IDE mode. So I think I can move easily, I choose custom installation and choose the hard drive to install the operating system. But unfortunately, at the beginning of the process, after choosing the OS, the Installer gives error if installation location the installation failed. (I forgot the error message)

    -The third problem
    So far, I can't spend 'startup begins' as well in mode IDE and AHCI. Also bootmgr in my hard disk is missing, so I can't go to move the startup repair or the startup option in my HDD as before

    What is the error code that you got with blue screen?

    I think that there is a problem with your drive HARD check that by contacting acer...
