• Pavilion 2206TX: hard drive DST short test failed

  Hard drive DST short test failed.

  For a few days, my laptop is not starting.

  Run the diagnostics showed "hard drive DST short test failed.

  I removed the hard drive [brand Toshiba] and connected as an external drive to a Mac.

  I am able to access your hard drive and copy some content from it. So, it looks like a problem with the hard drive.

  Is this a problem with the connection of harrdisk to the motherboard or with the hard drive itself?

  Help, please.

  Hello
  
  Yes, you can use your friend recovery media in your. It should work.
  
  I'm not able to find a recovery media for your model of third-party vendors too.
  
  No, you can't create USB recovery by plugging the old drive as external references to another PC. You have to use HP application recovery manager supplied with your laptop and create a set. I think that you will not be able to do from a failing drive.

• Hard drive DST short test failed

  My HP Pavilion dv6-6c35dx laptop computer fails to load Windows. I ran diagnostics and got a quick access error (303).

  Hello

  Your laptop is listed as coming with a HARD drive from 640 GB, but given that there is little difference in cost, you can replace this with a 750 GB option.

  The player at the link below is an example of one that would be perfect for your laptop.

  750 GB hard drive for laptop.

  The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 64 of your maintenance & Service Guide.

  ***************************************************************

  Regarding the reinstallation of the operating system, you can create your own installer of Windows 7 USB drive flash as follows.

  Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

  An example of a COA label can be seen here.

  Using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your laptop - it is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit ) from the link below--these Images are of a very respected source (Digital River).

  Windows 7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit

  Once completed, use the Microsoft Tool on the following link to create a USB bootable Windows 7 installer - you will need a 4 GB flash for this drive.

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

  When creating, tap away at the esc you key start Notepad to open the Start Menu.  Insert the Windows 7 flash player.  Select the Boot Options menu (usually f9).  Use the arrow keys to select the flash drive and press ENTER.

  If your laptop will boot from it, use the flash player to perform the installation, enter the activation key for Windows on the label of the COA in the request and once the installation is complete, use the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want just a new installation of Windows 7 without the software load extra normally delivered with OEM installations.

  Hello

  Your laptop is listed as coming with a 750 GB 5400 RPM hard drive, but you can replace this with a 750 GB 7200 RPM HARD drive for a little more performance - the reader on links below is an example that would be perfect for your laptop.

  750 GB hard drive.

  The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 52 of your & Maintenance Guide.

  Once this is done, simply use your recovery media to reinstall the operating system on the new drive - this is described in the document of HP here.

  If you do not have your recovery media, you can order a replacement set using the link below (I assumed the model No., you live in the United Kingdom).

  Order HP recovery disks.

• HP 2000: Hard Drive DST short verification failed.

  Hello. Since last Monday, my laptop froze on me, which forced me to hard stop. When I tried to turn it back on, it takes me to the HP logo with the rotation of the circle, but it doesn't take me anywhere. When I waited 5 minutes, a really quick blue screen pulls up with a sad face emoticon, saying: "your PC has encountered a problem and needs to restart." We are only collecting the error information, and then we'll restart for you"(I took a photo of it the second time I restarted and this post pulled up to read since the message was for a second). So that it restarts and pulls up the HP logo with a message saying "automatic repair". After a few seconds, it brings me to a black screen that takes me anywhere I left on for about 2-3 hours (I had work) and she still had the black screen. I tried to go to Safe Mode, still need me "Auto repair" and black screens. I searched the Internet for help, one of them told to press F2 at startup so it can pull up a menu to analyze the material. When I went to System Tests > extended Test, it took 3 minutes or more to complete, saying that he failed. The information there was:

  Hard Drive check short DST: FAILURE

  Failure ID: Q0ADB0-6RX7MQ-MFGJWK-60RW03
  Product ID: E0M14UA #ABA

  I'm currently waiting on my repair disc since some sites it suggested before a factory restore. I really hope it is not a complete restoration, many of my school files and important data are there. The repair disk is going to help me, or is there another solution before a full restore? Thank you.

  Edit: I was wondering if I actually do a full on my computer restore if all else fails, is still a possibility for me to back up my data, even if I can't get past the boot? Is it possible to do this action in the menu entry? As the menu of the BIOS, etc? If the material does not affect the memory, or if they are identical.

  DST check: Fail = disk hard drive has failed and will need to be replaced. If you are still in warranty HP will send a replacement. If this is not the case, a 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 you have a > 500 GB hard drive , so that you could use a 750 GB but not a 320 GB hard drive.

  Your files may be lost. The best hope to recover them will be to remove the drive hard, install it in one >USB HDD Enclosure, then plug it into the usb port of a working computer. If there is any life left in the drive, you should be able to go through it and copy files off the power on a hard drive of the host computer.

  Your > & Maintenance Guide will help to remove/replace the hard drive.

• Start DST short Test failed, cannot start - data recovery

  Hello!

  A week ago, I posted the message that - at the start - I get a blue screen and the diagnostic utility says that start DST short Test failed...

  I was told that the bad far developed - unfortunately in these square where some files needed to start...

  There is, however, always a guarantee

  I installed the HARD drive in an external enclosure, so I already transferred my files, screensavers & fonts and so on on another HARD drive - well. But one thing that is still missing EMAILS. E-mail messages that are in Outlook Express as well as the different accounts that I use (Finally, I still not know the settings, but I would simply import the account to my new installation)...

  Is THERE ANY CHANCE to get these EMAILS (at least and go as far as accounts) WITHOUT booting the system with this very HARD (which currently doesn't)... where these mails are stored? or should I try to get windows working again to access Outlook & emails?

  
  

• Portable: hard drive DST SHORT failed

  My computer won't start and repeatedly goes to a blue screen with a sunburst type above (the mouse pointer still work). I've run the HP tests and get this result:

  "Short DST: FAILURE.

  FAILURE ID: GDSDBX-TLR7RJ-9XL03F-604J03

  PRODUCT ID: XF288EA #ABU

  Hard drive 1

  "Test drive: FAILED.

  I guess that means that my hard drive is irreparable, but can someone confirm this. Also, I will be able to buy another hard drive and use the ERD that I did to reinstall Windows 7? I ask because it was preinstalled on your laptop and came with no disk to reinstall. Only, I was commissioned to do a repair disk.

  Thanks in advance.

  Dan

  Each time the short hard drive DST test fails with 24 alphanumeric characters "GDSDBX-TLR7RJ-9XL03F-604J03" which indicates that the hard drive has failed and which needs to be replaced to solve the problem

  This problem could be due to an Application or a driver conflict, virus issues, corruptions of files due to incompatible applications, incorrect judgments, update failures due to conflicts, mounted sudden power so portable, sudden falls etc...

  HP will offer a replacement HDD if the laptop warranty is Active, otherwise you can buy a SATA hard drive in a nearby retail store

  Please make sure that you get at least equal as long as the original one in order to use recovery disks. If you need you can buy a bigger, but not smaller hard drive capacity. For example, if you have a 500 GB hard drive you can improve it to 750 GB hard drive, but not 320 GB hard drive

  Please try the troubleshooting below indicated once the steps:

  Step 01. Remove the battery and unplug the power adapter AC.

• Series HP Zook: DST short Test failed

  Unable to start my computer this morning, I ran hardware diagnostics. The computer memory checking and SMART in vain check the DST short.

  Error code: UFH3HF-000840-XD7V7F-60SL03
  Product ID: G8B26UC #ABA

  I know that usually a DST failed test means that the hard drive has gone wrong, but I still see an error similar to mine on the forums code, so I thought that I would check, just in case.

  Hello

  Unfortunately, the code confirm the disk failure Self Test runs and would indicate that the drive should be replaced.  The error codes are unique because they contain a hash other information such as the time of the breathalyzer test.

• DST short test failed

  while making the start-up test, I got the result that

  memory test ass

  Smart check: past

  DST short: failure

  failure ID: 9E7Q7A-5JD66J-XDO14J-6OX103.

  CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHAT THE EXACT REASON

  SINCERELY,

  NATHALIE ANTONY

  Yes, replace the hard drive should solve the problem completely.

  You can read the product key on the bottom of your laptop?

  If this isn't the case, you will need to either buy a new full version of Windows 7 or to see if you can order a set of recovery disks by reading the info on the link below.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/bph07143

  If the link above does not provide the information you need and you do not live in the United States, then you may be able to order some of HP's partner on the link below for the country you live.

  http://www.best2serve.com/

  You can change the country to the other by clicking on the United Kingdom and a drop-down list appears.

  You should not need the product key with the recovery discs.

  If you can read the product key on the bottom of your laptop, you can make your own windows 7 installation disc.

  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.

  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.

• Hard drive 1 Quick Test Failed 303 G50: next steps/go ahead

  HP G50-133US

  OS: Windows Vista.

  Today, after having some problems with the loading of the features of Firefox (i.e. the application Firefox itself, not internet issues), I met a blue screen.  I forgot the exact terms, but I think it was a kernel fault any.  (Must have written those...)  Now it hangs at startup of Windows Vista "loading bar" and does not start in the operating system.  I remember no unusual physical disruption (it drops hard, etc. - this laptop is still essentially in one place all the time, and I am careful enough with my computers).

  I ran the first disc hard test, and it reports:

  #10008-disque hard to replace 1 and SMART drive past.

  It gives the result: failed hard drive FAST (303) 1.

  After my preliminary research, this means that the hard drive is a failure, and I need to replace the drive. I can boot into Ubuntu from a live disc and still access my hard drive with all the files it contains.  I don't want to copy these files (300 + GB, etc.) on a drive that started in Ubuntu while external.

  My big question at this point:

  If I replace the hard drive and copy that all files back on, is it likely that Windows will start again?  At present, it does not start. For me, this means that there is probably a file system missing or inaccessible, or etc.  But, if I just copy all the data to a new disk, this file will always be missing. that makes it sound like copy all files on the drive would not allow me to recover my Windows installation.  Is this the case?  (Or, it is dependent on situation and cannot be determined?)

  Hi apnorton,

  Just copy the files from the old HD on the new HD make bootable and you cannot boot into Windows using this player.

  The solution is to use a recovery disc for your model of laptop reinstall Windows Vista (I hope you do when you got the PC and have always them around), which will put the operating system in the State of the PC came from the factory.

  Otherwise, you could install the OS of Microsoft installation media, but you will probably need a new key system to take this path.

  Good luck!
