• PRI Master Hard disk S.M.A.R.T Status Bad

  I have a Hp mini 110 net book with a windows xp what OS and I cannot start at the login window. It displays a blue screen for 1 second and it restarts. Now, it says disk error and it won't pass this point. I tried to do a primary disk hard test but it failed and he said doesn't have an unknown element. I was wondering if this hp mini has a safe mode because I can not find it. I have to send it back to hp to install a new hard drive and reinstall windows xp OS. Help-thanks.

  Hi nhim,.

  1. What is the exact error message?
  2. don't you make changes before the show?

  It seems that there is a problem with the hard drive. We recommend first to get in touch with HP to diagnose and check if the hard drive is working properly.

  Try the following steps to disable the automatic restart in case of system error and check the result.
  a. start your computer and press the F8 key to display the advanced startup options.
  b. Select Disable automatic restart on system failure and press to enter.
  c. check if Windows starts.

  Also try to start your computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists.

• ? Primary Master Hard Disk S.M.A.R.T. Bad Status. WARNING: Return immediately-up your data and replace your hard drive.

  When I start my computer, an error page appears. At the bottom of the page it says, "Primary Master Hard Disk S.M.A.R.T. Status Bad." WARNING: Return immediately-up your data and replace your hard drive. Press F1 for Setup, F2 to continue"I was just pressing F2 and then it starts normally, but whenever I start my computer, the same page comes up.

  Is this serious or it could be something minor? Do you have any suggestions? What does that mean? What should I do? I followed some information in the forums of someone who has had the same problem and finally, they fixed them, they said that when they made a prior microsoft update what they where missing a Parcer.

  Note: I tried to save my data before, but something goes wrong and the backup will not be completed.

  You can download the program for diagnotics HUtil Samsung http://www.samsung.com/global/business/hdd/support/downloads/Hutil210_iso_for_CDROM_drive.zip

  It's an ISO image then unzip the file and write the ISO image to a CD.

  Then restart the PC and booting with the CD. To do this, you must change the priority/boot order in the BIOS to boot from the CD first.

  Once you have started the program HUtil it will detect your hard drive Samsung. Select the hard disk.

  Enter the main Menu on the tool. Go into the menu of the tool and enter Auto diagnosis. Enable diagnostics to run, once done it will ask you if you want to perform a surface analysis - enter Yes. The analysis of surface will take some time to complete. If errors are found, it reported.

  Once more I recommend you backup your data as soon as possible, preferably before executing HUtil program.

  For more information on the program of HUtil you can go here: http://www.samsung.com/global/business/hdd/support/utilities/Support_HUTIL.html

  Write when the cache is enabled: when data are written back to the hard drive, it is written in the cache that is much faster to actually write to the hard drive. An acknowledgement of receipt is then sent by saying that the data has been written on the hard disk, when in fact it does not. In this way so that the data is actually being written to the hard drive to the rest of the system can continue to work. However memory cache is volatile, if the power goes off, the data in the cache is destroyed and if it has not been written to disk hard and yet he's lost.

  If your settings are correct. Usually the drives are configured for performance and the write cache is enabled. While flash drives and memory cards are configured for the fast-moving and write cache is disabled.

  I get this message at startup ' 3rd Master Hard Disk:S.M.A.R.T. bad condition. " -What this means and how can I solve this problem?

  SMART is a technology on newer computers that allows the computer to monitor the health of hard drives in your computer. Something happened to one of your readers that detects the smart as a problem, and she's trying to warn you proactively to this topic before it fails.

  It may be also that you have installed a very old hard drive that does not support the CHIP and the monitor reports that it can not read the drive status.

  So depending on your level of knowledge and experience, you can watch to replace the hard disk that is reported, or you can disable SMART followed to make the message disappears. The second option but then means if it is really a failure, it is likely any work stoppage or corrupted so data you do note to solve.

  Hey Suman,

  You can change the configuration of the jumpers to make the slave hard drive. If you are not sufficiently uncomfortable by doing that, then you can get in touch with the local Techshop to do the same.

• Help, please! A master hard disk partition information lost and cannot start the Vista system

  I have Vista with my dell desktop computer.  I guess I got a virus that has deleted/messed my main hard drive.  All of sudden my computer was dead and when I try to restart, I found I can't boot the system.  I loaded the DVD for the resettlement of Dell to come with the computer and try to install it.  But it shows "Disk 0 unallocated space" with 222 GB and 'Disk 0 Partition 2 Recovery' with 10 GB.  I could not install Vista on the first, as it says "Windows must be installed on a partition formatted in NTFS.

  How could I solve this problem?  I could not allow me to format the drive because there a lot of data, that I just can't lose.

  Any help is very welcome!

  Problem with the recovery process, contact Dell at the link above.

  It's recovery process from Dell, NOT Microsoft.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Try this to save your data:

  Data recovery:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  See you soon...

• Format hard disk and it set up to be a backup for C hard drive

  I use 2 hard drives on my computer. The main C drive is in use, but I partially install Vista on drive D. I would like to format the D drive (I'm the system administrator) so that I can use this as my backup copy. At the present time I cannot format the D drive and impossible to configure drive D so that it is on the list of drive C backup options.

  Hello

  Why you cannot format the D drive - what error message do you receive? Have you tried to start the re - install Vista again, but when you get to choose which drive you want to install vista, by selecting the options of the drive and format the drive from here and then cancel the installation? See this link from my Web site: http://www.winuser.co.uk/windows_vista_faq/32_install_windows_vista.html on the installation of Windows Vista. What I mean is to step 14. Click "Drive Options" to display the format option.

  Otherwise, you are probably able to format the drive using third party disk/partition management software. Many users use Easeus (http://www.partition-tool.com/ ) because it is free. I can't personally guarantee the software because I've never used.

• installation and replacement of hard disk in the computer hp mini 110

  I need help replacing a hard drive on my computer hp mini 110.

  HP Mini 110

  Windows XP sp3

  I just posted a question about the installation of the operating system.  Fixed that issue but found another.  I installed the operating system and everything was fine.  I started to install the drivers and applications, and after you have installed hp applications the pc has restarted and came up with a message saying:

  PRI Master Hard Disk: S.M.A.R.T. Status BAD, Backup and replace, press F1 to resume.

  PRI Master: WDC WD1600BEVT-60ZCT1 13.01A13 ULTRA DMA MODE 5 S.M.A.R.T. Capable and BAD Status

  I press F1 and it started.  I was still a few drivers requiring an installation.  Since I've installed just everything, there was not much to save.

  I installed a different driver and rebooted and this time I hit F1 it didn't start.  I got a black page with a line of blinking cursor and nothing else happens.

  After some research, I've seen it's a bad hard drive.

  My question is:

  Is this something that can be replaced at home.  I can read the instructions.  What I need to get the same hard drive, or are there others that will work?  If I can do it at home, where can I find instructions to replace it and what is the best place to get the hard drive.  Is this what I need to know.

  Thanks for anyone's help.  I'm sure I look like an idiot, but it's something I've not done in a laptop.  I replaced and internal hard drive in a desktop computer.  I remember myself set to land and out and plug in another.  I had the chance then because the computer had 2 hard drives.

  I guess I'll need to reformat the drive and start over again with the installation of the operating system etc.

  Would I be able to upgrade and install vista or windows 7?

  Any help is appreciated.

  Hi, Tamara:

  Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop, which also lets you complete the You-Tube video.

  http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c01895806.PDF

  You can buy a 2.5 "laptop hard drive size 160 GB SATA II, should not exceed 500 GB.

  You can get a 5 400 rpm model or a model of 7 200 RPM.

  The difference between the two is that you will get better performance (faster seek times) a disc of 7 200 RPM.

  However, it will be at the expense of the life of the battery between charges.

  So, what you choose, it's up to you.

  Here is a link to a site that sells hard drives of laptop.

  They have great prices and there are a lot of feedback from customers that may be useful for you to decide which one to go with.

  According to specifications, your computer can run Windows 7 well.

  I recommend edit you your message and remove any reference to the discussion of smuggling copies of Windows 7. These assignments are not in accordance with the rules of the forum.

  In addition, please keep in mind that a lot of these free copies of Windows can be loaded with traps that can steal your personal data and do other nasty things, including perhaps turn your PC into a Bot who committed illegal activities.  It is not worth it for me to install such illegally of is software and possibly have the bust of the FBI to the bottom of my door and arrest me for something that I didn't know that was going on with my PC.

  It seems that the recovery XP disks are available for your PC, even if the link is broken, so if you want to reinstall XP, contact HP by telephone and you can get a set for less than $20.00.

  Otherwise, you can get a game online site for $27.00 + shipping costs.

  You get a legitimate copy of Windows OEM 7 (relatively) cheap at the link below.

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16832116983

  Or you can pay double that and get the commercial version, which you can transfer to another PC. With the OEM edition, you can only use it once.

  Hello 88feederups, apparently, your only recourse is to press F-7 to continue and see if the system boots to the desktop.

  If you manage to get to the desktop, I suggest trying to backup your important data and make sure you have a version of Windows XP. You must also consider finding a new hard drive.

  The failed Test Smart can be a reason for the hard drive do not completely, if not already.

  Here is the link for the specifications of your system and it shows the system comes with a hard drive of 160 GB Ultra DMA.

  It is a type IDE ATA hard drive and not the new kind of Sata.

  Most SATA drives should work in the system, so, basically, any capacity will be fine.

• Any tool of hard disk available?

  Ive had my hard drive replaced as it was clicking / gel etc. But ive since heard some makes have their own hard drive tools that can solve the problem. Is this the case of toshiba? any help most appreciated.

  Hello Pete

  I put t know what kind of problem your HARD drive, but I have had experiences of bed with bad sectors on HDD from my old satellite 1900. Don t Toshiba offers all the tools. If the HARD disk is defective or damaged laptop to the manufacturer offer replacement only.

  Repair is offer by independent companies of IT and you have to pay for it. On the net, you can find some tools to check the HARD drive. I read on this forum that one of the id tools HDD Regenerator. Some Google and maybe you will find some info.

  Good bye

• Dv6 hard disk 3F0 problem

  I have a HP DV6-6001TX with the 6770 m GC. I tried to boot my laptop for a while now, but every time he says hard disk not detected and undetected boot device. I tried to secure the connection from the HARD disk several times without success. What should I do now?

  Hello

  It is perhaps that your hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced.

  As a new trial and to help eliminate a problem with the Sata controller, try the following.

  Follow the procedure below to create a bootable Ubuntu CD and follow the steps in part 3 of 'Try' to see if the operating system is running.  The option 'Try' runs the operating system from the CD without having to install on your HARD drive.  If it works Ok (it will be slow running on a CD), this would tend to confirm that the problem is only with the HARD drive.

  http://www.Ubuntu.com/desktop/get-Ubuntu/download

  If your laptop is still under warranty, you can contact HP and arrange for the replaced HARD disk - you can check your warranty status.

  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.

  Kind regards

• Pavilion 6610f desktop: HP Envy & WARNING: drive hard Imminent failure (please backup and replace immediately!)

  Recently, I had 2 different cats with HP Tech Reps in which they used their remote control programs to check on the problems that I had with my new HP Envy 5560 all-in-one.  The next day, at the start of my desktop PC, I got the warning message: "" imminent hard drive failure: if it please take a full backup and replace immediately. "" I did a scan from HP and it showed nothing wrong. There are no pop icons - up or whatever it is on my desktop screen to indicate a problem.  The hard Seagate I have is only 1 years and 89% free space left on it and there is no problem, other than being slow sometimes, before the cats remote and the PC warning.  I came to the forum looking for answers, and the first thing I noticed was a post to say today 09/04/2015 Bent Canuck: "HP Envy Hard Drive Failure" at 06:22. What a coincidence. Think are?  Only some 20 hours from the time I myself first 'hard drive Imminent failure warning' and only about 40 hours after the remote programs have been downloaded (twice) and the rep tech, taking control of my computer (twice).

  I ran all the diagnostics that my intermediate PC experience tells me to do.  I checked in the BIOS and I checked all the HP, troubleshooting, etc. on the Assistant HP program performance. I can find no reason for the hard drive to be failing.  I didn't notice it do anything else to be a little slow to start sometimes and slow to load stuff onto the internet, I have assumed it was probably malware and spyware that I must find a way to remove at one point, but I have received no warning about things either.  I get the same caveat and I did a full back, but...

  Can someone tell me what to do or how to check and see what the problem is until I have to just chuck the drive because of this warning?

  Thank you for the additional information.

  Did you run the BIOS CHIP to test your hard drive?  Also, I don't think that the added hard disk HP software had nothing to do with the message you receive.
