• Pavilion G6-1203ey: HDD Test FAILED, but can still start Windows

  Hello

  I have laptop HP Pavilion G6-1203ey. After installing Windows (7 ultimate, 64-bit) and some drivers on this topic and after several reboots, it hung at the Windows logo and I had to power off with the power button / stop. Then after having turned it on, it gave me the opportunity to fix problems that impede it to start, there let him to restore the computer to a previous restore point and after a reboot, the windows worked again. After that, I decided to do a check of the hard drive just in case.

  The hard drive self test ended up with a message: disk full 1 (305). Then, I installed an environment to help HP Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) and made the hard drive from there. I chose the full test options, but it ended quite quickly (in about 1 minute), with the following result:

  Test Drive: 1

  HDD SMART Check: PAST

  Hard drive short DST: FAILURE

  FAILURE ID: PTTU22-5T774L-MFPV4K - 60S 003

  PRODUCT ID: A5Q15EA #B1R

  Hard drive 1

  __________________________________________

  Test drive: FAILURE

  A little more information:

  The former owner told me that the original HARD drive was defective, reason for which he replaced with this last year. He said that other than that, no problems with the laptop. Windows works right now and this disc is quite new, so I expect no problems with it, but the results of the tests mentioned above seem to be disturbing. Is there a reason to worry?

  Thank you

  Hi Alnuir,

  Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

  I read your post and looked into the ID of failure that you have published on the test runs DST failed. This error indicates a hard disk failure meaning that if it failed there could soon. If everything works I would be given for the backup of your data on a regular basis, just to be sure. You may have a local tech take a look at the hard drive to see how it is at the complete failure.

  Thank you

• Messed up graphics card, now I can't start windows. .

  Messed up graphics card, now I can't start windows. said the plug to the/windows/system32/system address, or something like that, is missing or corrupted. said to run the installation disk, I don't have it. Needhelp, VERY VERY important files on my drive.

  Installing ubuntu natty to edit files, but I would have my back configuration, all that. anyway to fix it?

  NEVER begin to solve this problem with KB307545, and if you have no disk, you won't get a lot anyway.

  I guarantee engineers from Microsoft technical support that I can recreate this problem to approximately, half break you in 1 minute your XP CD and then you put challenge to fix it without the help of KB307545.  It is unlikely that the manufacturer will send you an XP installation disc.

  Looking at HP/Compaq, Dell and IBM just today, they say generally that they have stopped shipping XP CD in 2005 (6 years ago) and you can't order them on their website or through the support.  But sometimes you can get a part number and buy a CD to install XP from third-party suppliers to find research on the Internet.  Prices range from $49 to $ 200 USD.

  Knowing this, maybe it's time to STOP suggesting how to contact the vendor for installation of XP Media?  It's a good 'out' when you don't know what to do, but this isn't a useful suggestion.

  It could facilitate a resolution of the problem faster with less cycles message if you are trying to tell us you see the exact error message.

  Is this something like this:

  Windows XP could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM

  If you want to use Ubuntu or something similar to copy your important files to a safe place, it is a good idea, but you should always be able to repair your XP system.

  What you need to do is to make a bootable CD of XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console to run chkdsk /r on your system.  Here's how:

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination? (This includes the plug pulling, buttons power and removing the battery).

  These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else.

  If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).

  There is zero logic to begin to try to begin to try to modify or copy files to a hard drive that has a corrupted file system, so this must first be fixed using the XP chkdsk program and run chkdsk on your hard drives may solve your problem completely.

  Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

  It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

  You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

  When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

  Press any key to boot from CD...

  Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

  Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

  Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

  You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

  You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

  C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

  The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

  For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

  A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

  In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

  Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

  Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

  CHKDSK C: /r

  Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

  It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient.  If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

  You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

  Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

  You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

  You need to work with someone who has actually really seen and corrected this questions a few thousand times in the real world.

  You must first start by entering in the XP Recovery Console and running a chkdsk/r from there.

• I can't start Windows XP pro SP3.

  The computer boots to the normal screen of HP, then turns off and then I get the screen logo windows for a few seconds, then it goes back to the HP splash screen. I tried to recover the operating system from the CD rom and while I can get to the Conference on disarmament, and it starts to load the XP operating system, I go as far as the "Kernel debugger" file and loops from the machine to the HP start up screen. If I let go through the startup, the computer performs a loop on 5 or 6 times and then the power button flashes red and I get a beep beep beep.  If I try to access the key F8 I see the first screen to select the language, but when he goes the second screen for options, the computer makes a loop to the HP splash screen.  The initialization of the BIOS is damaged? If so how do I fix?  Thanks for any help.

  Hello

  Thanks for your help, but I think that there is a problem connecting with the pc.

  I have disabled the automatic restart in case of system error. Without pressing me any key, the system started again and I did the same thing again but could not go as far as F8. I tried F10 to determine the settings for the HARD drive but the system has rebooted before that I had the opportunity to consider all options.

  Just to prove something - I don't know what! -J' having disconnected the hard drive and am not install windows.  I have a CD-ROM for the Linux operating system that loads normally without using the HARD disk.  I managed to do boot from CD but it crashes about 10 seconds after the start. I reconnected it the drive HARD and always using the CD ROM I booted up Linux and the same thing happens.  The impression that something like an internal clock is the trigger causing a reboot.  I tried to start Windows XP and it is just to do the same thing. Arghhh he is no leak!

  Well at least I can reformat the drive after downlaoding my documents and use it as a spare part!

  See you soon - we will mark this as a disaster!

• I can't start windows with my corrupted hard drive

  I bought a new hard drive to add extra space since my first hard disk is only 60 GB.  I bought a Samsung HD161HJ with 160 GB.  As well my original and new hard drive is SATA hard drives.  I hooked it up and everything worked well for about a week.  Then, I woke up to find a message saying that my Samsung HD player has been altered and I had to restart my computer.

  When I restarted the computer, the windows loading screen came on but then the black screen and nothing would happen.  I've decided to disable my SATA slot for the new disc corrupted in the system configuration, and then when I booted up everything was back to normal.  However, I want to have two drives connected and be able to boot windows to use special software for corrupted hard disks and try and solve the problem.  But every time I turn on the SATA slot for my new hard drive windows does not start.

  I know that the SATA drives need riders to determine the master and the slave.  So what is the cause of problems with me start windows with a secondary corrupt drive?  My main drive includes all the data necessary to start. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

• Satellite U400 - after the BIOS update I can't start Windows

  I have laptop Toshiba Satellite U400, PSU44E and Win XP. After you have installed the new BIOS v. 3, 80-WIN32, it is not possible to start Windows, it always ends in restart. It is also not possible to reinstall Winsdows, as it always ends with the blue screen.

  Any help or suggestion?
  How can I install back my backup BIOS BACK?

  Hello

  Did you really choose the good BIOS for your laptop? Because on the Toshiba site Web are different models U400 has so you choose for PSU44E BIOS on Toshiba page?

  After the BIOS, you should load the default settings in the BIOS.
  Did you check that?

  A downgrade from the BIOS is not possible. This is possible only from an authorized service provider. So, you should contact them and ask a technician for help. I m sure they will help you. ;)

  Good bye

• My Windows XP pro would not let me change the option 'Use the home screen', so I removed a vital .dll file. I can't start Windows now!

  My Windows XP pro would not let me change the "Use welcome screen" option under: user accounts/change the way users connect or power off.

  He gave a message to the effect (I forgot to write it!) "a recently installed program does not change this setting. Search in the file named "RtlGina2.dll for a clue. So as silly as I can be, I did a search, finds the file RtlGina2.dll in the Windows/System32 folder and cut and paste on my desk. My thought was to isolate this file to see if it will address the problem of not being able to change the option use Windows screen.

  Now, I can't run Windows! It gives a message that this file RtlGina2.dll is not found! Specifically, it says, User Interface failure. The UI for logon RtlGina2.dll DLL failed to load. Contact your system administrator to replace the DLL or restore the original dll.

  How can I replace the dll if I can't even get started? Help, please! I know just enough to get me in trouble I see.

  WyoPathfinder,
  Are you able to boot mode safe mode with command prompt?  If Yes, then you can search for the file "dir /s /a RtlGina2.dll" lists the location where you moved to.  Then you can just copy (path\filename) c:\Windows/System32\(filename)

  If you do not work in safe mode, then you can boot from a XP disc and go into the recovery console and do the same thing.

  Hope that helps. QQ learn manage!

• Able to boot normally to Windows 7 but can not start safe mode

  Hi, I have a laptop of Lenovo who has Windows 7 Home Premium installed on it.

  I had a few problems with not being able to see all the videos on CNN or the Weather Channel site, is not showing me any local report.  So I thought that I would try to start safe mode to make certain shortcomings.  (I can see videos very well elsewhere).  This happens on all 3 browsers I have (11 IE, Firefox and Chrome.

  However, after pressing F8 and get the option screen, once I chose the Mode safe mode (with or without network) it works the list of drivers and then darkens with only the arrow on the pointer in the center of the screen and stays like that for a long time without anything happening.

  I already ran all antivirus programs and spyware that I have, but nothing changes.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

• I can't start windows normally or in safe mode. I can't fix with the cd.

  It shows me the following error * STOP: oxoooooo7B (0xF78DA63C, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) and she advised me to check a lot of different things, but since I can't boot into windows I can't do. Can someone help me, please?

  • You have problems with programs: windows xp sp3
  • Error messages: * STOP: oxoooooo7B (0xF78DA63C, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
  • Recent changes made to your computer: no
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem: fix with the windows cd

  You have indicated that you have not changed anything on your machine recently. Not auto-updates, no software, no hardware changes?

  If nothing changed, it's most likely a problem with your hard drive. If there is data that you need to retrieve the disk, you will need to connect it to another computer (which starts from another drive), and then see if it goes up the player and lets get down your data. If you do not have another machine available to connect the reader to draw your data you can buy a new drive and installs windows on it then connect the wrong disc and remove the data. Once you have the data off you can reformat the hard disk and reinstall windows and then copy your data on it. If this does not work, you can have a bad drive. If it is still under warranty, you can check with the manufacturer to determine what are the RMA procedures.

  If it is not under warranty, or if you do not want to disturb the repairs, and you can't make it work with the operating system you can still be able to use it as a data drive but do not depend on it too strongly because it most likely just eventually come out completely.

  IF you couldn't get your data, and it is absolutely essential for you to have, you may need to contact a company specialized in data recovery. They are usually pretty good at it but make sure you use a good knowledge/reputable company.
