• 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!

• Drive hard imminent failure.

  I was using a HP Pavilion dv7 (#XZ292UA #ABC product) for writing and looking for a little more than a year and did not have signs of hard drive problems - until yesterday. Curiously the hard drive on my old HP Pavilion dv5500 still works fine (7 + years later). Anyway, I followed the instructions for "disk hard imminent failure" and made the backup of data and backed up my important documents and manuscripts to the older computer and two readers (just to be on the safe side) Flash.

  I printed the "Instructions for fixing disk hard errors. Note the information provided includes the name of the disk: Toshiba MK7559GSXP ATA Device. I also checked to determine if there was any sign of trouble with the computer and the vacuum came.

  I believe that the only way to 'Fix' the problem is to install a new hard drive (HD), but am open to suggestions. If the answer is to replace the HD, I would appreciate your recommendation for a more reliable alternative to existing material.

  Thank you for your help.

  Thanks for your help. I did the back-ups, but could not get the laptop to repair the problem of the HD and will seek a replacement.

  Have a great weekend.

• 1720 smart hard drive detects imminent failure. do backup - how can I move my files when I get a new hard drive?

  Hi, I have "1720 smart hard drive detects imminent failure" made a backup, Gather I have to get another drive. How can I transfer my windows vista / files to new drive? Help, please.

  Hello

  There are different ways to do

  and these methods depend on your hard drive work

  hard drive manufacturers will normally provide the cloning to move your operating system software from the old to the new drive hard If your old hard drive still works

  Search for information on this subject on their Web site

  If you have vista business or ultimate, you can use the builtin vista complete PC Backup to move

  read the information below

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial145.html

  or if you have vista home version you'll need 3rd party software

  link below is an example of this:

  http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage/index.html

  also to put your machine how you bought:

  1. If vista is preinstalled, you should have a recovery on your old hard drive partition

  You can recovery disks to reinstall on your new drive hard If the old drive still works

  ask the manufacturer of the machine how

  2. contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  3. or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

• Smart HARD drive detects imminent failure on Satellite P

  Hello

  I have a message "SMART provides a defect on the disc dur0: TOSHIBA MK5055GSX-(S1)" or (the same in English) "Smart Drive detects imminent failure".
  On the newsgroups different 'people' says to change the disk.

  My problem is not to change the drive, it's easy. Expensive, but easy.

  As I understand it, on each disk from Toshiba, a hidden partition, which allows to restore the machine, with Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator there?.
  I would like to change the disc and use the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator? to restore Vista.

  How can I reinstall everything what to use Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator? This new disk to reinstall Vista from this new album.

  Thanks for any response.

  > If I understand correctly, each disk Toshiba, there is a hidden partition, which allows to restore the machine, with Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator?

  That s not entirely correct!
  The Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator creates the recovery disk! The recovery disk allows to recover the laptop using the drive and not the HARD drive recovery process!

  New portable Toshiba supports HARD drive recovery which allows to restore the laptop without the use of the recovery disc!

• Computer HP laptop-15-r101na: disk hard Imminent failure

  I've had this laptop for a month and after about 2 weeks, I received a message at startup telling hard imminent failure. I backed up all my data and run the hard drive tests.
  Hard drive tests immediately to find a failure and gave me a failure ID but no resolution.
  
  I am currently using the laptop as usual, but with an external hard drive connected to the caution. The hard drive has not yet failed, but the message remains displayed.
  
  I'm a bit confused what is wrong and why it seems to not resolved itself?
  Any help would be appreciated?

  Hey Jake,

  You are probably still in warranty.  Make sure you have backed up your files externally and contact hp support.  You will need a replacement of the hard disk.  Sorry to hear that you have problems, happy, that they performed while you are covered.

• HP Pavilion 400-434 Office: intelligent control of hard disk: failure

  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.

  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.

• Drive problem hard imminent failure!

  My "hard drive" is a 3320813AS of ST on a British flag s3624 and WARNING model: it is about to fail. Seagate advises going to a Barracuda 7200.11 and 7200.12, are these versions of replacement? or if I were to upgrade, should I go for?

  redted,

  The answers that you have been detailed and must be met as soon as possible in order to protect your data. As you say, your hard drive is a failure, and you should not continue to use it.

  The general answer is that you need to create the recovery DVD "s (only DVD + R is recommended by HP) to really protect your operating system." This is your first step.

  Not knowing your level of computer "eze" is the second problem.

  (1) Big_Dave link to 'How to' articles is all you need to physically do the work. Then do the necessary backup of all your data. The last step would be to replace the disk, reinstall the OS and then the data files.

  (2) this is the solution is simple and fast.  It's not basic built into the system. It requires time, and an external source (DVD or hard drive) to store all of your files to backup data.

  (3) my solution was also based on "how to" articles But I suggest you clone the drive and be done with it.

• HP 15 laptop: DRIVE HARD DO PARTITIONNE NOT VISIBLE AND INITIALIZATION is NOT POSSIBLE

  My laptop worked fine until that currently when my brother introduced it is impossible to return to the start and the error message indicating that "no boot found device, took it back to where I bought it and they have installed a Windows 8.1 which worked for about 3 hours, then began trolling." tried to restart it to see if it will win its normal pase but it never restarted, it opens but could not pass the HP logo in the middle of the screen, when I took it back to the shop to check. They tried to reinstall the operating system, but the hard drive partitions are currently not visible. Help, please.

  This message indicates that the file system is damaged, and as a result, one or more of the boot loader files is no longer working properly.  The general solution - that no matter what RENOWNED repair shop would know well - is to start repairing Windows Media and run Startup Repair machine, probably three times.  If that did not set her, the next step would be to start the computer from a hard disk utility and run a file system check.  If defective, which would be more likely to say that the hard drive was not - and then only, the reader will have to be replaced and windows resettled.

  In addition, Win8.1 comes with quick start already on.  This force the machine to fall into a new form of hibernation when you stop - preventing access to the disk partitions hard while they are in this State.  Once more, any store repair FAME SAURIEZ cela and told for sure you.

  Looks like where you bought is occupied by people who are incompetent when it comes to diagnose and repair Windows PCs.

  I assume the unit is no longer under warranty, otherwise you would have contacted HP for repair.  But, that being said, your first step should be to contact the HP Support to see if you have repair options: Contact HP customer service | HP® customer support

  An alternative would be to buy a new hard drive, order of HP recovery materials and use it to reinstall the machine.  See the details in the link: HP computers - getting HP discs recovery or a USB HP recovery disc | HP® customer support

• Smart disk hard imminent failure

  My laptop (hp G6 - A6 amd vision - quad core with windows 7 Home premium) was running very slow and hanging very often, I did a scan for a virus and, apparently, there was not. I did a restore to factory with hp Recovery Manager and now I get a message my hard drive is due to an imminent failure. The message is very annoying and scary because he asked me to back up my files or I won't lose them. Any idea what should I do then?

  Hello 88feederups, apparently, your only recourse is to press F-7 to continue and see if the system boots to the desktop.

  If you manage to get to the desktop, I suggest trying to backup your important data and make sure you have a version of Windows XP. You must also consider finding a new hard drive.

  The failed Test Smart can be a reason for the hard drive do not completely, if not already.

  Here is the link for the specifications of your system and it shows the system comes with a hard drive of 160 GB Ultra DMA.

  It is a type IDE ATA hard drive and not the new kind of Sata.
