PC - Doctor and hard drive test results

I have a T61 that wasn't logging past the "sign-in" screen, isn't exactly BSOD...

I ran PC Doctor Diagnostics and my laptop 'failed' 3 tests...

Hard drive: extended SMART self-test failed

Hard drive: Surface scan test FAILED

also SMBIOS: SMBIOS: FAILED test standards

I went through the whole 'start BIOS configuration utility' and

etc., etc., chose "hard drive" and press the F6 key to move to the first start position.

etc. I even went through the process of ThinkVantage to return to "factory settings".

but I still don't see the 3 tests above, when I take the test again in PC Doctor.

My internal hard drive 'Fries '?

Thanks for anyones on that help. I bought this model machine 7658-CTO in November 2007

and the warranty is no longer in place.

These 6 product recovery CDs are probably for XP, so if you use Vista, you must burn another series. Other that that, I don't know what else you would need. you're pretty much good to go.

Regarding the quality of hard drive, it just depends some fail after a few months, some can last 5 to 7 years. Premature failure hdd are rare. But expensive if you don't get a hard drive replacement, then you are protected at least 2 to 3 years standard warranty.

  • Hard drive test failed

    Hello

    I have a laptop HP G72t-200 model.

    I had some computer problems, so I decided to do a hard drive test. While making the diagnosis, I got an error. This is the exact report:

    Test Drive: 1

    Smart Check: spent

    DST short: FAILURE

    FAILURE ID: PUXRWF-5526LK-XD0036-60WF03

    Product ID: WJ746AV

    Anyone has any info on this specific error? Let me know!

    Hello

    The error code will be a Smart failure or disk Self Test - in both cases, this would indicate that hard is defective and must be replaced.

    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.

  • hard drive test failure

    Hello, I receive the text next message when I swtich the laptop on:

    "SMART hard drive control has detected an imminent failure. To ensure no loss of data, please save the content immediately and run Diagnostics in the Testin hard drive system.

    "Hard disk 1 (301).

    When I run the hard drive test in the diagnostic system, this appears:

    "Road test: 1."

    HDD SMART Check: FAILURE

    FAILURE ID: PTR04C-6LD763-MFPWWJ-60VF03

    Hard drive 1

    "Test drive: FAILED.

    When I start the laptop works fine, internet and all other devices work, scanning local disk C: and D: Recovery detects any errors. I tried to update it, but the message still appears.

    I wonder what may be the problem, any suggestions?

    The laptop never gave me a prblem to date, I bought it a year ago, last week I had to change the DVD player, which was the only change I had to make. After that, I started to have problems with him, like blue screens, indicating "Critical process is dead" and "kernel data page mistakenly".

    I also CD/DVD given to me at the time of the purchase, which I think are necessary for backup and recovery, but I don't know how they actually work.

    Yes, he does. It must be replaced with a new hard drive and a factory image recovery made. If you can still enter Windows all you can save on an external drive...

  • Responsible for Vista and works fine for about 2 days now, I get the product in use key try AnotherOne coming soon. I have old MB and HARD drive if that can help prove that I only want to use the key on a single machine.

    As noted, my motherboard has failed.  IDE only AGP CPU core.  Not much use trying to find anotherof those.  Replaced the motherboard with a newer version.  It has SATA, multi core processor, etc.  Processor and HARD drive had to be replaced.

    My Vista home premium 32 bit running on my machine for years.  I loaded it on the upgrade with no problems.  Went to windows update and SP1 and then SP2 and all other windows updates suggest and worked very well, for a few days.

    Now, I get a message that the product key is already used and need to buy AnotherOne coming soon.

    I didn't really want to do.

  • A1103 new Ram and HARD drive will not start

    Hello.

    I have a Mac mini A1103. When I got there the folder flashing with question mark. I got a macbook earlier where this problem was solved by installing a new hard drive. so I ordered a new 160 GB IDE 2.5 "5400 RPM and 1 GB Corsair Valueselect DDR1 333 MHz hoping that this will help me get the mini running and preforming a little better with 512 MB of Ram.

    When I boot the mini after swapping ram and hard drive I always see the same flashing folder. I can reset the NVRAM Boot, enter diskmode target? (I think) and the Boot Manager.

    When I enter the Boot Manager I can see the following screen

    a few times I get to this screen for Open Firmware screen where I can use certain commands such as vram-reset reset-all rebot and so, but sometimes I'm just stuck on this screen.

    Anyone have any suggestions on what is wrong and what I can try next? I do not have the boot original dvd but I have a usb bootable with IOS 10.6 and a dvd with IOS 10.6 (not original) but I can't get botting from any of the devices.

    A Mac Mini A1103 has a G4 Power PC processor and cannot be greater than 10.5.8. Superior OSX versions require an Intel processor.

    In this statement "a usb bootable with IOS 10.6 and a dvd with IOS 10.6 (not original)" I think you mean OSX, not of iOS. You must obtain a copy of the original installation disc which was 10.3 or 10.4 or disk to upgrade to 10.4 or 10.5 full retail. Coverall A1103 all three 2005 models of the Mac Mini G4.

    You cannot use a grey disc unless it was delivered with your specific Mac.  Native gray disc with Macs and can not e used on the other model of disc.

    You can probably call Apple and order a copy of the original disks

  • 23 - f270: RAM and hard drive one device?

    Hello

    I had recently a hard drive has failed/bad in my computer that was just out of warranty, so I took my computer to a computer repair man who said he could replace the old/bad disk with a new one.  This man didn't really hold up to the end of his contract, and now I find myself in a dispute with him as he always has my HP PC and he gave me a lesser Dell as if to replace.  Now, I contacted the office busniness better for resolving this dispute.  But it is now trying to claim that he gave me the HP drive hard and RAM unit.  This man gave me was a rectangular metal box telling me that it was the old bad hard drive.  So what I need to know is are the hard drive and RAM in this a model room?  I need proof that if the RAM is not present, he was the one who pulled it and sold it.  They only gave me one of the components of the computer, and I would like to know if the RAM and hard drive are one or two pieces of sepearte?

    Thank you

  • Satellite C660 - compatibility between motherboard and hard drive internal

    Hi, I have a problem with the compatibility between the internal (1 terabyte) hard drive and installing windows 7 pro.
    I broke my old internal hard drive (320 GB) and I bought the new hd (1 tb), but during the installation it says that w7 cannot be installed on this new hard drive.

    Can my pc motherboard (serial number: 3B071014k) support the new hard drive (serial number: wd10jpvx)?
    and if the answer is 'yes', how can I make it work?

    First of all the question has nothing to do with the motherboard and HARD drive compatibility.
    If the HARD drive is visible in the BIOS (first page), the HARD drive is supported by the BIOS and HARD disk controller.
    In the case where the drive HARD isn't recognized, you will need to replace this HARD drive with another. I guess the smaller size of the 2.5 SATA HDD THAT would be taken in charge (500 GB)

    However, in case the HARD disk is visible in the BIOS, you should be able to install Windows 7.
    Before starting the installation, you must format the HARD drive and should create the system partition.
    For this procedure, I recommend to use some tools such as partitions for example: GParted
    GParted is a freeware Linux tool.
    You can create a bootable USB key in order to start the device using GParted:
    http://gparted.sourceforge.NET/LiveCD.php

    Then, you should be able to format the HARD disk and create partitions.

  • Satellite L70-A-139 - guaranteed zero when removing the cover for the RAM and HARD drive

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite L70-A-139 youcef.
    And at the back of the laptop, there is a cover that is fixed with a screw.

    Wil I void the warranty when I unscrew and take a look?
    I want to upgrade my HDD to SSD.
    The motherboard supports Sata III: D.

    Thank you!

    No, the mandate must still be valid.
    There is a removable cover at the bottom of the unit as shown here:

    Then you should be able to upgrade the RAM and HARD drive.

    Anyone out there who would try to open their laptop Toshiba Satellite A50, what type of RAM and hard disk of brand you all have inside?
    All the portable toshiba comes with Toshiba RAM and hard drive?

    Hello

    As far as I know the Satellite A50 uses DDR PC2700 modules. These modules must be compatible:
    PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
    PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
    1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

    There are different models of Satellite A50, but I think that there should be a drive HARD IDE(ATA-6) 60 GB 4200 RPM with 8 MB buffer size.

    Here is all the information I found.
