Planned hard drive failure - BIOHD-7 error code

I inherited this machine to a family member when they panicked after seeing the error message... Hard drive failure... back up your data and replace your drive.  According to the newspapers, the drive does not have a single "smart test.  I'm not convinced that the player is in danger of failure - especially if it didn't happen in the three months since the first error.  Is it possible to 'clear' this error so he'll leave me to press F2 to start?

If you value your data, then buy a new drive hard $50.

  • HP Pavilion a6645f no hard drive detected BIOHD-2 error

    1st off I'm no computer expert... so I really have no idea what I'm doing, but I've been looking online to the best of my ability and try everything that I have seen that I can understand how to solve the problems.

    First of all, I got the cursor flashing at the top left of a black screen, now I get the boot failure message, insert the disc... I did that dance together and nothing comes of it.  Error cannot be fixed with the scan that it allows me to do using the system disk, I did.

    I managed to access a screen that informed me that I have this error BIOHD-2, no hard drive not detected.

    It's a Seagate Barracuda HD 500 GB 7200.11

    I removed the Panel and went there... insured all caps were closed, tried a different SATA port... and when I go into the BIOS I can not get the comp to recognize any HD is connected... all read 0 MB.

    From my research I found information contradictory on this... some sound like its without a doubt a HD - sound problem is, some say it could be a motherboard problem?  Is - it necessarily one or the other based on the info I gave?  I read that I should try to connect the HD to another PC with a SATA port, but this will affect any PC I plug it somehow? Let's say another computer detects the HD when I look in the BIOS, I'll be able to extract all the files and programs from there? How will I know if the motherboard is the issue and not the HD? As ports have bad or the taking of the HD to the motherboard maybe? It is even probable, if yes?

    What if it is the HD, and I can install an old HD work? Is there a way I could try to extract anything from the Seagate which is in there now?  Unfortunately, the only things that I backed up on an external are some pictures and a few digital scrapbooking files.

    Still, I'm NOT a computer person so half may not even be English in computer science, but I hope I made sense. Laughing out loud

    Oh, and I'm no longer in warranty... HP told me when I called this past weekend when it happened. PC is about 3 or 4 years... don't remember not that December it was bought in.

    Thanks to all those who have actually tried to read and give a sense of my mess

    semperfibc,

    Thank you for your service.

    Several years ago, Seagate had a problem of firmware with the Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 drives. The reader would cease all features. Your beyond any warranty on this drive, and have no options that are financially reasonable.

    Now, you need to install a replacement drive.

    I hope you did your ONCE one Recovery DVD. Otherwise, you will need to buy them from HP.

    You can try an external SATA to USB box with this old disc, but there is no guarantee.

  • hard drive failure - means following error: failure ID 9cw77a-5km5t8-xd002k - 60s 903?

    Hello

    For 6 months, I have HP Pavilion dv6 3180ec, Win7 64 bit running.

    Recently the laptop itself restarted several times over the past two days with a hard disk failure message (blue screen); After the reboot, a hard drive diagnostic was requested however never properly started... Run the test from BIOS and I have following error message:

    Hard drive test failed

    Failure ID: 9CW77A-5KM5T8-XD002K - 60S 903

    (interesting is that the SMART test successfully)

    Someone knows, is the gravity of failure? HARD drive change is necessary? I would avoid the situation to send it to HP customer service to guarantee control and have no laptop for a month, that guys will not suffer the same problem (actually even if I now write the post on this laptop - and without everything again...)

    Hello

    If this isn't a SMART error, this will be a failure of the drive Self Test short or long and really would indicate that the drive needs to be replaced.  There is no need to have to send the laptop, as if you contact HP to get a new HARD drive to be shipped to you under warranty, the player will be sent to you - you normally pay a guarantee that it will be refunded when you return the defective HARD drive.

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

    If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

    The procedure to replace the HARD drive appears from Page 55 of your & Maintenance Guide.

  • Hard drive failure; Recovery Console error

    Yesterday my computer was at the peak of its performance. Shut it down normally, defragged every day and no blue screen in 5 years. Then BAM! It says "the following file is missing or corrupt: C:\WINDOWS\system32\Config\system" before even starting up screen lights up. So I searched the Internet for answers on my laptop and found the recovery via the installation CD Console. I will, and I do a CHKDSK/p. He said unrecoverable damage or permanent, which is confusing because it is 6 months old (replaced HD because the former was too small). So I try to use the CD command that was given by most of the sites, then I get an error message saying "the path or file specified is not valid" for anything I type in. Can someone help me please, it's too sudden and weird.

    Your hard drive is dead. If you want to get data off of it, the only thing to do is now to send it to a professional data recovery company. I use a Drive Savers for my clients. It is quite expensive, running anywhere from $500 to $ 3,500 with an average of $2,700. Some insurance companies cover data recovery so check with yours.

    Considering that you have backups and a failure, I would consider replacing the drive.  Drives 1 TB are relatively expensive and you can be on your way by restoring the backup information.  IMHO, it is not worth taking more chances on the old disk.

    Hello

    Do a hard reset first.
    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01684768

    The SMART drive test produces a prediction on the risk of hard drive failure, not a real failure.

    A warning to SMART disk error can appear for various reasons such as having been jarred abruptly computer or hard drive, be subject to the higher than usual temperature.

    Perform HP hard drive - wide test of the system BIOS Diagnostics shortly after switching on, tapping F10/F2

    If there are any Smart player or hard failure error you see, Hard Drive is a failure and the solution is to replace the drive.

    It would also be very wise to make sure that you back up all your files etc as soon as possible.

    Thank you

    Hi Carolinelightfoot,

    This error message occurs when the system could not read and write data to the registry file. The error indicates a problem with the registry.

    Method 1:

    You can run a Checkdisk to see if there are drive errors that can cause this problem.

    Check your hard drive for errors

    Note: When you run the disk check, there is a chance of losing the data that you can take a backup of important data before you run checkdisk.

    Method 2:

    You can also try to boot from a full version of Windows Vista installation disc and try to perform a restore of the system to WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment)

    What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

    Hope this information is useful.

    Migration of CS4 breaks the license. That's what 150:30 means. Assuming you are using a Mac.

    Please refer to the following solution: -.

    (1) find the file acrobat.exe on your computer. Right-click on the program and click "troubleshoot compatibility". Set the compatibility of the operating system installed on your computer.

    (2) if it asks you to register several times, please refer to this doc. KB: easier to register several times. Acrobat 8 | Windows

    That might solve your problem.

  • Satellite Pro P200 - Smart error "imminent hard drive failure".

    Hello! I wonder if someone can help me.

    Start the computer, the other day the S.M.A.R.T diagnostic program came suddenly on saying a "hard drive failure may be imminent," when I open the Intel Matrix Storage console, it says that the hard drive in port 0 has had a S.M.A.R.T event recorded against him but that of port. 2 is 'normal '.

    Port 0 is the volume of the operating system on it and if so what would be the best way to back up the disk and what someone knows how to change the hard drive and how much approximately would this cost?

    Thanks for any help inadvance.
    Paul.

    Hello!

    In my opinion, you should back up all the data as quickly as possible. In the worst case you could HARD drive might completely die and then you are not able to save the data on it.

    After that you should swap the HARD drive. It s depending on the model of HARD drive you buy how much it will cost but drives hard are not so dear to our days. I think that it will be possible to get one for 50 Euros.

    Good bye

    What it means? I also get messages on Windows 7 hard disk failure is imminent. What is in fact a hard drive failure?

    The problems started after system restore to a point previous (5 days ago) after downloading some updates of the site Web HP that have been identified as relevant, but caused freezes, which is why the restoration to the previous point. Still trying to get an idea of the problem areas. Most things work very well, but Windows Media Player does not properly is the most obvious fault so far. More I bought a new external hard drive to perform the emergency backup, but it is not recognized when I plug. It is however grateful already used very happy memory sticks.

    I'm likely to have a real failure, or is a false reading because things did not settle down properly after the system restore?

    I am not technically very advanced - perhaps at the limit of my understanding so simple popular suggestions/instructions.

    Thanks for all those who have followed this demand. Problem solved - I took it to a local repair shop in the end. While I could probably physically replace the drive myself quite easily, I wanted the confidence of an expert to provide the correct replacement and manages the much larger task to transfer everything at the latest so that I can resume normal with all that where it should be.
