Qosmio G15R - built by HARD disk error

Hello

I get an error message that says "built in hdd error" when starting my laptop. The laptop has 2 HARD drives. A 40GB and the other 60 GB.

I tried both in the slot to HDD1 and I still get the same message. I was able to use the recovery disk on the 60 GB HARD drive and was able to boot the laptop. He worked for an hour then I got the same message from disk again. Everything is plugged in fine.

Can anyone help?
Thank you.

Hello!

Have you already tried to install Windows on the 40 GB as suggested boarder?
And have you checked the 40 GB or 60 GB using Drive Fitness Test?

If Drive Fitness Test doesn't indicate a mistake I guess that the HARD disk controller is defective. This controller is welded/fixed on the motherboard and so you have to swap the motherboard together.
It's a little tricky. Of course you can try it yourself, but an authorized service provider can do for you.

Good bye

  • Portege R600 built-in HARD disk error

    My Portege R600 works very well until today when he came with the built-in "Disk error" message when I turned on it. He then lists the following:

    Intel Boot Agent GE v1.3.24

    PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of
    PXE - MOF: exit Intel Boot Agent.
    Insert system disk in drive.
    Press any key when ready...

    I'm leaving on a trip to South America and do not have access to the system disks.

    Can someone help with this problem?

    Hello

    If you get an error of HARD drive and after that the message PXE boot, it seems that your internal HARD drive is not recognized more...

    Have you already checked the BIOS if the HARD drive is it recognized?
    Otherwise I think you need to replace the HARD drive :(

    Hello

    Your HARD drive is perhaps a pity
    Can you see that the drive listed in the BIOS?
    Are you able to reinstall the OS?

    You should first check this.
    You could also test the HARD drive by using the drive fitness test tool:

    This will check the disk on some points.

    But if the HARD disk is damage need you a new!

  • SMART Hard Disk Error - replace hard disk?

    A couple of days, I got an error when I start my computer (HP Pavilion dv6-6071eo), saying "SMART hard disk error" followed by a message telling me that SMART disk check has detected and imminent failure. He told me to my backup files, and then press F2 and do a hard drive test. On the last row, it displays "Hard Disk 1 (301).

    I tried to run the hard drive test, which does not instantly. I also ran the BIOS hard drive test. It meets the short test without problem and then stopped quite some time after the long trial began with the error "Disk Hard 1 full 305. My computer has also been slow over the last week.

    From what I've read so far, it seems that I need to replace my hard drive. Is this correct? If so, it would be a suitable replacement (functional): http://www.dustinhome.se/product/5010151237/western-digital-black-2-5-320gb-7200rpm-sata-300-16mb/#i.... Also, would it not interesting (and possible) upgrade to an SSD for reduction of noise and heat, which is a problem with this laptop (and several other portable simular at HP) compared to other laptops.

    In addition, it might be good to mention that my warranty has expired.

    Have you checked to see if there is a free space left on the hard drive? A complete hard drive will make the system work very slowly and it may also keep the system working properly if it is fairly comprehensive. The fact that you take the short test means that there is nothing major to mechanically wrong with the drive. Just right-click on the icon for the main C:\ drive likely "computer: and select 'Properties'.» If the disc is not actually full, then I suggest to replace. If you can afford a SSD, Yes, there is no doubt that is the way to go. There is nothing wrong on one ssd, other than an occasional fight to install it. I have been using SSD for awhile and I had installation problems we often see reported here, but do not be discouraged, we are here to help.

  • Smart hard disk error: "Press enter to continue and it starts OK.

    I have run chkdsk full and sometimes without error, but at startup it says Smart hard disk error. Press ENTER to continue and it starts OK

    Go into the BIOS and run the drive Diagnostics (long version).

    Normally, when you get a SMART disk error this means imminent disk failure.  Smart drive test checks the environment of hard disk and is much more than chkdsk thorugh.

    A cautious soul would replace the disc if the diagnostic test is a failure.

    Is your laptop still under warranty?

  • SMART hard disk error message

    I have a Pavilion dv4-2045dx and I got the "SMART hard disk error" message since last night after my daughter felt my cell phone and I had a Crash report screen. Let him sit in the hope it to cool and start as expected. No luck...

    I already looked for several responses to the problem, but always returned empty-handed. I did the hard reset and I checked everything in the Diagnostices system only to control memory and battery by the way. I have not yet contacted HP about this. If I can fix it myself, I would rather to do.

    Anyone know of a way I can fix this WITHOUT having to buy a new hard drive?

    Sorry to bring bad news, but... If you have a SMART hard disk error then the drive is toast. There is no way around that.

    The INTELLIGENT notification system gives you a report that the BIOS sees when it queries the hard disk during the Power On Self Test, he always does before the start in the Windows operating system.

    I hope that you have created a set of HP recovery cd. If you did, then you still have your operating system intact. If you do not, you can buy a replacement of HP recovery disk. They are inexpensive.

  • SMART hard disk error (301)

    I WANT m6-1120sw my friend. When I turn it on it shows SMART drive hard error, said diagnosis: "SMART Check: NOT AVAILABLE, short DST: caution. His old HDD, I replaced it with a new one, but nothing has changed. -What would be a problem with the SATA controller on the motherboard or is it something different?

    Hello

    Smart disk error indicates failure of hard drive. You still get any ID failure?

    Since you have already replaced it & not showing is not available, the probability is for the connection by defective SATA cable or SATA controllers or motherboard itself.
    What of all the other disk hard test - wide?

    Try HD Tune Pro software currently running on the system.

    You may have to contact HP for repair.

    Thank you

  • Satellite C660 - 23 M Windows 7 hard disk error

    I've only had my laptop (Satellite C660 - 23M) for three months, I started to have problems with him about a week earlier, including a time Blue Screen of Death, but I got the computer Safe Mode and did a system restored and it has been fine since then. Then earlier today, I had a Windows hard drive error, telling me to back-up and then repair or replace the hard drive. The back-up goes on an external hard drive as we speak, so fingers crosssed I can't stand to lose all my data.

    I created a disk backup media when I got to the laptop but every time I tried with validation, it would fail, but in time, I don't think I should be so little time, just so created a non-validated copy and thought that would be nice (I'm now concerned!).

    Should I restore my hard drive? If so, how? What has caused this? And because it is only 3 months old, am I stuck with a laptop to duff who will continue to break down on me?

    Hello

    In your case, I would recommend to check the capacity of the HARD drive.
    This can be done using the freeware tool called disk HARD Drive Fitness Utility.
    I guess that this software can help detect HARD drive errors.

    If the HARD drive would be affected, then you need to replace the HARD drive.
    Here you will find a nice instruction how to do this:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/Ann.jspa?annID=138

    the laptop seems to be covered by the warranty, if the HARD drive can be replaced under term average conditions, this can be done free of charge
    I would recommend asking the ASP (partner in your country) for this HARD drive they could send you this HDD.

  • HP 23-g116 5CM44802Q5: smart hard disk error

    I just started to have an error...  Error Smart hard drive on my desktop and it has only 1 year.  What could be the problem.  y at - it an easy fix?  May not have a hard drive problem, it is not used every day.

    Hi katcopass,

    That looks like you have a hard disk failure. To make sure that we should launch a hard drive diagnostic.

    To access the menu diagnostic you want to start typing the ESC key as soon as you turn the unit on and it should bring you to the start menu. Press F2 it and it will bring you to the diagnosis.

    If the diagnostic fails, it should give you a failure ID 24 characters; in this case, you want to exactly copy down and call customer service. According to the model, there are three main numbers:

    • For the home and specific products, dial + 1 800 474 6836 (e.g. ENVY, Pavilion, lines of spectrum)
    • For the company's products, please call + 1 800 334 5144 (e.g. Prodesk, Probook, Pro tablet lines)
    • For Elite Business Products, call + 1 866 625 1175 (Elitedesk, Elitebook lines Elitepad)

    You will need to provide the following information to the representative answering:

    • Serial number
    • Product number
    • ID failure of 24 characters

    Thank you!
