Smart disk hard imminent failure

My laptop (hp G6 - A6 amd vision - quad core with windows 7 Home premium) was running very slow and hanging very often, I did a scan for a virus and, apparently, there was not. I did a restore to factory with hp Recovery Manager and now I get a message my hard drive is due to an imminent failure. The message is very annoying and scary because he asked me to back up my files or I won't lose them. Any idea what should I do then?

Hello

Looks like you should consider replacing the hard drive so definitely make a backup of all your personal files etc. asap - is your laptop still under warranty?

If this is the case, contact HP on the link below and make arrangements for the disk needs to be replaced.

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

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

Kind regards

  • Computer HP laptop-15-r101na: disk hard Imminent failure

    I've had this laptop for a month and after about 2 weeks, I received a message at startup telling hard imminent failure. I backed up all my data and run the hard drive tests.
    Hard drive tests immediately to find a failure and gave me a failure ID but no resolution.

    I am currently using the laptop as usual, but with an external hard drive connected to the caution. The hard drive has not yet failed, but the message remains displayed.

    I'm a bit confused what is wrong and why it seems to not resolved itself?
    Any help would be appreciated?

    Hey Jake,

    You are probably still in warranty.  Make sure you have backed up your files externally and contact hp support.  You will need a replacement of the hard disk.  Sorry to hear that you have problems, happy, that they performed while you are covered.

  • Windows XP, disk hard imminent failure, can I select continue or setup to start the backup

    At the bottom of the page that says "imminent hard drive failure", it asks if you want to continue, or the installer.  Which is better to back up the hard drive?

    If the options "setup" means that you know what you are about to install Windows, stop.

    I take the hunt, put it in an external enclosure and save it by connecting to another machine.

    Hello

    Chances are the hard drive failed, but it could be wiring or other materials.

    Check with the system manufacturer's support, their documentation online and ask in their forums
    (if any). Most have instructions to replace the hard drive.

    You can usually buy a hard drive for alternatives for less than $100,00 and maybe much less. Or the other
    get the same one or the same size.  System manufacturers usually several models if you
    the same can buy cheaper. And there will be others who are of the same size and type which
    can be used. Your local computer store can help select an appropriate player.

    Here is an example of how to replace the hard drive on some HP computers for example. Most
    other manufacturers are similar, and there are many generic examples on the internet.

  • Drive hard imminent failure.

    I was using a HP Pavilion dv7 (#XZ292UA #ABC product) for writing and looking for a little more than a year and did not have signs of hard drive problems - until yesterday. Curiously the hard drive on my old HP Pavilion dv5500 still works fine (7 + years later). Anyway, I followed the instructions for "disk hard imminent failure" and made the backup of data and backed up my important documents and manuscripts to the older computer and two readers (just to be on the safe side) Flash.

    I printed the "Instructions for fixing disk hard errors. Note the information provided includes the name of the disk: Toshiba MK7559GSXP ATA Device. I also checked to determine if there was any sign of trouble with the computer and the vacuum came.

    I believe that the only way to 'Fix' the problem is to install a new hard drive (HD), but am open to suggestions. If the answer is to replace the HD, I would appreciate your recommendation for a more reliable alternative to existing material.

    Thank you for your help.

    Thanks for your help. I did the back-ups, but could not get the laptop to repair the problem of the HD and will seek a replacement.

    Have a great weekend.

  • Pavilion 6610f desktop: HP Envy &amp; 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.

  • Drive problem hard imminent failure!

    My "hard drive" is a 3320813AS of ST on a British flag s3624 and WARNING model: it is about to fail. Seagate advises going to a Barracuda 7200.11 and 7200.12, are these versions of replacement? or if I were to upgrade, should I go for?

    redted,

    The answers that you have been detailed and must be met as soon as possible in order to protect your data. As you say, your hard drive is a failure, and you should not continue to use it.

    The general answer is that you need to create the recovery DVD "s (only DVD + R is recommended by HP) to really protect your operating system." This is your first step.

    Not knowing your level of computer "eze" is the second problem.

    (1) Big_Dave link to 'How to' articles is all you need to physically do the work. Then do the necessary backup of all your data. The last step would be to replace the disk, reinstall the OS and then the data files.

    (2) this is the solution is simple and fast.  It's not basic built into the system. It requires time, and an external source (DVD or hard drive) to store all of your files to backup data.

    (3) my solution was also based on "how to" articles But I suggest you clone the drive and be done with it.

  • Pravilion dv7 series replaced after the recovery disk hard drive failure

    I tried to use the portion of my drive recovery hard when my laptop Pavilion dv7-4173 US could not operate.  After trying the hard drive recovery part several times I got an error message saying that the bootmgr is missing. I tried using the recovery discs I got to the store, I bought the computer before taking it home, and they failed. They worked up to 32% and then stopped.  I took the laptop and recovery (6 discs) disks to the tech Department of another retail store. After several days, I learned the recovery disc where no good/damaged. When I contacted the store bought told me that I had to bring in the laptop and recovery disks. They replaced the hard drive, saying: that was the problem, but do not partition. They decided to classified until the system OS of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit., but did not try the recovery disks. Can I use the recovery disk, they made me, if are good restore the laptop back to factory new?  I know he will place the operating system Windows 7 Home back on the computer, but I want that all return provided with computer programs. I'll be able to upgrade the Professional operating system? I have the disc of Windows 7 Professional.  If my restore disk will not work, can I use the recovery disc, only 2 discs instead of 6, I can buy from HP and then move on to professional?

    Thank you.  Computer to factory fresh.  Just update software and then go to Windows 7 Professional

  • Pavilion Dv7 - 3125sf BlueScreen and [disk hard Test failure]


    Hi James,

    I would run the DST short test on the hard drive again.  If it still does not respond, it is you say that there are areas of the drive that don't work anymore - that is to say that they cannot be written to or read.  From my experience, it is the beginning of the end for the HARD disk, because over time, areas more and more the reader will go the same way.  The speed and the magnitude of this decline is impossible to predict, but it will happen.  So to answer your question, I always install a new HARD drive, although as long as you do regular backups of your files - (make two backups so that if the drive has completely failed when refreshing a backup, you will always have the other is)-you can continue to use your existing drive until it becomes unusable.

    I hope this helps.

    Best wishes

  • Pavilion G6-1b39wm: need drivers (at least Ethernet) after disk HARD total failure and replacement

    I have a Pavilion ^ notebook PC series - it's a G6-1b39wm, the product number is lw363ua #aba.

    The hard drive was a total loss. I bought and installed a new hard drive and reinstalled Windows.

    However, I have no drivers - ethernet, WiFi etc... - and they are no longer available on the HP Web site.

    I feel as if I could at least get the driver installed ethernet, Windows could help me to find and install the other drivers.

    All I have for the ethernet is that it has integrated 10/100 Ethernet LAN.

    Hi all

    I get this error disk hard Imminent failure.
    When I check the disc via the BIOS, I get this code: 90FB7V-1R27AK-MFKSWK - 60A 803

    I have just need to know if the hard drive can be saved by - for example - a (formatting) or if the hard disk is beyond all hope.

    Unfortunately, HP does not have to answer questions like that when your system is no longer under warranty.

    Can anyone on this forum help?

    The error message refers to the failure of the hard disk where you will not be able to access the data from it and the only option is to replace the drive.

  • Smart HARD drive detects imminent failure on Satellite P

    Hello

    I have a message "SMART provides a defect on the disc dur0: TOSHIBA MK5055GSX-(S1)" or (the same in English) "Smart Drive detects imminent failure".
    On the newsgroups different 'people' says to change the disk.

    My problem is not to change the drive, it's easy. Expensive, but easy.

    As I understand it, on each disk from Toshiba, a hidden partition, which allows to restore the machine, with Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator there?.
    I would like to change the disc and use the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator? to restore Vista.

    How can I reinstall everything what to use Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator? This new disk to reinstall Vista from this new album.

    Thanks for any response.

    > If I understand correctly, each disk Toshiba, there is a hidden partition, which allows to restore the machine, with Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator?

    That s not entirely correct!
    The Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator creates the recovery disk! The recovery disk allows to recover the laptop using the drive and not the HARD drive recovery process!

    New portable Toshiba supports HARD drive recovery which allows to restore the laptop without the use of the recovery disc!

    Hello:

    Yes, the hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced.

    It's just name all the partitions on the hard drive.

    Hard to say why. The most likely reason is the heat.

    4 years is not bad for a hard drive of the laptop. I read the posts of many Member of the forum where the drives went much earlier than that.

    It is not a question of if a hard drive will fail, but a matter of time.

    You have recovery discs to restore the operating system on a new hard drive?

  • 1720 smart hard drive detects imminent failure. do backup - how can I move my files when I get a new hard drive?

    Hi, I have "1720 smart hard drive detects imminent failure" made a backup, Gather I have to get another drive. How can I transfer my windows vista / files to new drive? Help, please.

    Hello

    There are different ways to do

    and these methods depend on your hard drive work

    hard drive manufacturers will normally provide the cloning to move your operating system software from the old to the new drive hard If your old hard drive still works

    Search for information on this subject on their Web site

    If you have vista business or ultimate, you can use the builtin vista complete PC Backup to move

    read the information below

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial145.html

    or if you have vista home version you'll need 3rd party software

    link below is an example of this:

    http://www.Acronis.com/homecomputing/products/TrueImage/index.html

    also to put your machine how you bought:

    1. If vista is preinstalled, you should have a recovery on your old hard drive partition

    You can recovery disks to reinstall on your new drive hard If the old drive still works

    ask the manufacturer of the machine how

    2. contact the computer manufacturer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    3. or borrow a microsoft dvd vista

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed
