Pavilion dv6-1030us: there is no hard drive

I have a dv6-1030us which today would not initialize, said that no boot device and the hard disk do not exist.  Works very well yesterday, without any hard disk problems.  I have the original recovery disks that I created when I got the machine.  When I put disc 1 one number, it says windows copies the files, then a status bar continuously appears above the copyright of microsoft thingy.  The status bar continues to flow as he do something and not going anywhere.  If I insert recovery disk number 2 nothing happens, even if I insert the disc number 2 and try to restart.  Any ideas or is it time to go shopping

It seems that the hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced. Laptop SATA hard detail can be used. Just be sure to get a quality at least equal the original in order to use recovery disks. It may be big, but not small ability more. For example if you have a 320GB hard drive you can use a 500 GB hard drive but not a hard drive of 250 GB. The main problem you will have to avoid is that latest hdds Advanced Format (AF) will cause major problems and probably a return for Vista recovery disks.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-6060ep: question to replace HARD drive

    Hello.

    I would like to know if replacing the current 500 Gb Hdd with a SSD would cancel or in any way affect my warranty coverage. The laptop is a year old. Thanks in advance for any assistance of withy this question.

    Hello:

    There should be no problem with the warranty as long as you don't break something trying to install the HARD drive.

    HP will not support the SSD however and your recovery disks don't work because the new drive must be the same size the 500 GB HARD drive you removed.

    I have a workaround for the problem of recovery disk...

    According to the specifications of your PC system, it came with W7 Home Premium 64-bit.

    It must be in English, French or Spanish version too.

    If so, download the ISO W7 Home Premium 64 bit on the link below.

    Burn the file on a disk using a program that can burn ISO files so the DVD is bootable DVD burning.

    Burn at the lowest speed as possible.

    Then use the product key 25 character on the bottom of your laptop computer to activate the installation.

    Support of your laptop and driver page visit to install all the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads of MS of W7.

    Hello world!

    I have a pavilion laptop dv6 3080el with windows 7 and after the HARD drive that basically, I bought a disc double, specifically BLACK (2) WD Dual Drive.
    I used the DVD I reinstal windows using system recovery, but after I put in the DVD 5 and pressed "continue" to restart the system, I just get (after the first screen where by pressing ESC, you go to the Start Menu) wrote a black screen with "No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key".
    Any suggestions on how I can complete the installation of windows?

  • Pavilion dv6: I did now the hard drive on my HDD test failed and the pavilion dv6

    The problem is that my laptop when I start it it takes like 10-15 minutes to load.

    I see loading windows xp logo and then he is suspended for more then 10 minutes or more.

    Now, I tried to do a test for the material. I turn on the laptop and click the F2 key and I entered the test screen of hp hardware. I moved start test drive hard and after 5-10 seconds or if stopped with a test failure:

    That's what I see now on the screen of the laptop:

    Test Drive: 1

    INTELLIGENT control: PAST

    DST short: FAILURE

    FAILURE ID: 64WE1A-5BC7Q7-XD003F - 60Q 903

    Hard drive 1

    Edit:

    I tried now all the other tests in the F2 screen, and they all went except the short DST hard drive that has failed.

    Better to buy a new hard drive and replace it with this one and I install the new OS on it own?

    Test drive: FAILURE

    Does that mean ID failure? I need to replace with a new hard drive? If so can I buy a new hard drive and replace it only with myself?

    I did no other reviews but I want to first of all understand what it means to id of failure.

    Hello

    The hard drive is faulty defiantly and Yes should not replace. Failure ID is given, so if your laptop is under warranty you can give this to HP and it will then allow you the replacement

    Usually the instructions on how to replace the hard drive are in the manual of your computer that you will be able to get a copy on the HP site. You can also buy the HP installation media which will be operating system files on your for reinstall on the new hard drive.

  • Pavilion DV6: Loud hum of the hard drive when burning CD

    Recently, I noticed that my laptop makes a fairly loud "buzzing" or "vibrant" sound. I encountered this problem recently when I tried to burn an audio CD. I've read about this problem on other forums of which most, explain that the cause could be due to the type of disc. I have this problem when I read from a disk. This problem could lead to the type of disc that I use?

    Hello:

    It has been my experience throughout my laptop and deskop PC DVD burners do the same racket when it burns CD / DVD, but not when it reads them as well.

    I don't think it's something to worry about.

    When burning a disc, a much more strain is placed on material that when reading a disc.

    I use Memorex or Verbatim quality disc too, and readers always sound as you said.

    One of the burners of my desktop PC is so loud, it begins to vibrate the case and I have to give him a rap on the side for the case of vibrate with the burner in the quiet.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-1030us will not light

    Hello

    HP Pavilion dv6-1030us laptop
    Windows Vista 64-bit

    This laptop was working fine when it was used earlier in the day. The food is good and the battery is good.

    When I press the power button, the led power and other lights in the upper part as well as the light output at the front lights up for about 1 second and then turns off. A few times, the lights stayed a little longer and I heard the fan turns on and perhaps the hard drive, but then he cut. Whenever the screen was completely black. No screen of boot or anything.

    I tried to pull the battery and now the power button for a minute, then replace the battery. That has not changed anything.

    I tried and I tried pulling the battery, pulling the RTC battery and now the power button for a minute, then replace the batteries. That has not changed anything.

    Does anyone have an idea as to what could be the problem?

  • HP pavilion DV6 1030us stop and restart spontaneously

    I bought a HP pavilion DV6 1030us in June 2009, and the Bios has been updated to the latest F24A.

    However, during the laptop running, it will be sunddenly stop stop and try again.

    This unexpected shutdown just looks like all of a sudden power loss and happens at random, at least, I can't find a rule.

    For most cases, this closure comes without blue screen, and it is independent of the operating system.  I tried to install windows 7 64 bit, windows 7 32-bit, vista 64 bit, xp 32-bit, all OS such a problem.

    I don't know if other users with this template has such a problem. I got tired of what I do, still can not solve the problem.

    I suspect that the Bios has a problem. I hope that HP will release a new very soon.

    BTW, if I update the BIOS, it erases the old BIOS completely first, then write in the new?

    Thanks for your attention!

    Hi guys,.

    During the Christmas holidays, I did real progress to find the cause of the problem of restart suddenly.

    I am so anxious to share my experience with you all.

    As I mentioned before, when the first time I sent my laptop for repair, they replaced the hard drive, and nothing improved.

    And the second time, I asked to replace the motherboard.

    Unexpected, the reboot problem remains after changes to the motheboard, I've been very frustrated by such a result, I even thought that maybe this laptop is never fixed.

    Then I started to search the Internet once again and a few posts point to the power supply and one point in the strip of memory, but memory defective barrette syndrome is different. And if my memory went all kind of test without any error, including windows memory diagnostic tool, memtest86 + 4.00 and the diagnostic tool memory in the bios setting.

    in such a situation, I doubt that the power supply has a defect. but I can do nothing with it. I think maybe I make a memory module to avoid the will of power help (I have 2 * 2 GB memory module).

    Unexpected, after that I got a good memory, restart occurred more frequently.

    Then I suddenly realize if this memory module has problem, so I took it and put in another. and with the 2nd memory module, the problem of restart never happens so far.

    To confirm this, I repeated this experience (I'm a sicentist in biology, I know that to reach a conclusion, the result must be reproducible). And this is the case, restart happened frequently with the first memory module and never happens with the 2nd memory module.

    now, I should mention that this module model memory is: MT16HTF25664HY - 800 1. Then, do not lack of HP.

    So if you suddenly have the reboot problem and if you do not find the reason, and even if your memory module has passed the test, you should try to replace it to see what happens.

    If this post helps you solve your problem, pls post your result here to help more people in despair with such a problem.

    2. How do I order a recovery CD or USB by HP.

    If you can read the Microsoft Windows 7 of 25-character license key, you can download a Windows 7 ISO file to burn to a DVD or USB flash drive. The version must match that's installed on your PC as shown on the sticker COST Microsoft fixed on the bottom of the laptop. Like Windows Home Premium.

    HP pavilion dv6-1030us originally with windows vista 64 bit have now upgraded to windows7 32 bit. MIC is unable to send sound in Skype after upgradation.

    Hello

    Try the following.

    First, uninstall Skype and when it is finished, restart the laptop.

    When windows has reloaded, download and reinstall the Chipset driver here.

    Once the installation is complete, restart the laptop.

    Let windows load completely, then download the installer of IDT Audio on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp45001-45500/sp45044.exe

    One time finished, open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers.  Right click on the IDT device and select uninstall - also, you should get a command prompt to delete the current driver, check the box allow this and then proceed to uninstall.

    When you're done, shut down the laptop, unplug the AC adapter and then remove the battery.  Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds.  Reinsert the battery, connect the power adapter and start Notepad.

    Let Windows load fully, then open your download folder, right-click on the IDT Installer and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  When this has completed, restart the computer again.

    Reinstall Skype and see if the MIC now works Ok.

    What can I do?

    Thank you

    Hey,.

    What SATA driver you have integrated with nLite? If Windows XP cannot always find a disk of t means that you used the wrong driver. The correct driver can be downloaded from the official website of Toshiba and you need the Intel Storage Manager.

    If you have downloaded the correct driver, follow the instructions here and make sure that your version of XP SP3:

  • HP Pavilion DV6 6053ea - SSD SATA III HARD disk? & HARD drive space gone?

    Hello

    I have a HP Pavilion DV6 6053ea. It works fairly well, but I think I have an SSD would really speed up the loading of programs and start etc. I'm not so sure that the upgrade. I read on a thread if I had Port SATA 1 6 Gbps Supported or SATA Port 0 6 Gbps then my cell phone was good for SATA III. Is this the case? Joined a program hwinfo32 image, can you check if my phone would support SATA III?

    The other issue is my HD. My laptop says I have 750GB HD coming to about 700 GB after formatting. But my laptop seems to have only a total of 350 GB with all sectors added together. Where is the space?

    Hello

    Yes, your laptop has 2 ports SATA 6 GB/s (SATA III) most likely the hard drive and an optical drive are connected on it. There are also 2 SATA 3Gbps ports but not in use, I guess.

    The other issue is that there are 4 partitions but the partition 0 is strange and shouldn't be there. There should be a small boot for Windows partition (for BitLocker etc.), drive C: with Windows, D: drive with a partition recovery and partition Tools HP QuickWeb and some diagnostic utilities. It seems that the recovery partition is missing, the C: drive has been decreased and then created a small partition at the beginning of the hard disk. Take a look at disk management in administrative tools in the control panel this partitioning is on the hard drive.
