SMART short test didn't?

• SMART short test failed

  Under hardware Maintence diagnosed and he tells me that the SMART short Test failed what it means and how to fix this

  I think that trying to DEFRAGMENT a hard disk 'default' is the wrong thing to do.

  Compare to the conduct of a dirt road with Bald tires - while the Bald tires may be OK on a dry, paved, road between them work "hard" will result in a failure of the tire.

  Similarly, many files on the hard drive when it is expected to be soon to fail, is also a bad idea.

  Any small computer boss store can sell you a hard drive brand new and may try to "clone" of 100% of the hard drive of the 'old' drive on 'new' disk

  Price?  It depends on the capacity (250 GB? 500 GB? 1000GO? 2000 GB?).

  About US $100, you will have a new disk drive with a capacity greater than your current drive.

  Add $50 to $100 US for the technician:

  Open the computer case,

  * Check the physical size and the capacity of the old-disk drive, to recommend a "compatible" replacement

  * Fix temporarily the new discs,

  * run the software "-disk cloning."

  * delete the old records (and he will give it to you, so that you can literally hammer it, so that no one will ever be able to read one of your folders – think 'security'),

  * connect permanently the new disks.

  * close the computer case,

  * test it.

  It also depends on the "age" of your computer.

  If it is still running Windows XP or Windows Vista, it will be over ten years - REPLACE a computer of this type.

  rather than spend more than US $150 to keep until something else died of "old age".

• SMART short test freezes my Win 8.1

  Dashboard 1.1.1 Win 8.1 x 64 Sandisk Extreme with firmware R211

  SMART short test starts well but once it reaches 80% it stops and everything is unresponsive. HDD LED to stop blinking and only the mouse moves. Nothing works. Duty to force the reboot with powerbutton.

  The drive completely crashed the next day. Not so strange that he behaved like that. I'll go it replaced under warranty.

  This means usually your hard drive has failed or is defective and must be replaced. It can also indicate a very awkward motherboard that is about to fail.

  It is likely that you will need to replace the hard drive.  To confirm, press F12 at startup, enter the Dell diagnostics.  Run an extended hard drive test.

  If the system is under warranty, logs the error and contact Dell for a replacement drive.

  If the system is out of warranty, any standard 3.5 "SATA drive will work as a replacement.

• SMART short self-test - on the second hard drive

  HP Pavilion Elite e9270t - 3 yrs old, Win7.

  Became the error SMART self-test short the original drive so I installed a replacement and transferred files.

  I get the same error on the second h/d. I have my doubts that the second disk is having the exact same error and wonder if the s/w test is actually the problem.

  It could very well be the connectors that gives you the question instead of the HARD drive itself. I would run the HARD drive test in BIOS instead of the short test.

  Try this:

  1. Plug the AC adapter into the computer if it is not already connected.
  2. Turn off the computer and wait five seconds.
  3. Press the power button to start the computer and repeatedly press the F10 key to enter the BIOS Setup menu.
  4. Use the right arrow or left arrow keys to navigate the menu selection to find the Auto test primary hard drive option. Depending on your BIOS, it is under diagnoses or tools.
  5. Select self-test primary hard drive, and then press the Enter key to start the test.

  Figure 1: Example of a primary hard disk self test screen

  
  

  The hard drive self test performs a Quick Test , followed by a complete Test. During each test, the window displays a status bar and a scheduled for completion

  Let me know the results of this test.

• failure of the targeted reading test and smart short self-test

  I have over problems with my computer is - it related to software or hardware?

  Please advice

  • The purpose of S.M.A.R.T. is to warn a user of imminent drive failure while there is still time to take action, such as copying the data to a replacement unit.

  The above is an excerpt from the article below:

  S.M.A.R.T.
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.

  The thread below from Windows SevenForums describes possible solutions:

  Windows 7 - SMART short self-test fail
   http://www.SevenForums.com/hardware-devices/148900-smart-short-self-test-fail.html

  I strongly suggest you to immediately perform a backup of all your personal files, data, and anything else that is important for you to external media (an external IMO is better but you can also use CD/DVD or a USB flash drive) until the hard drive breaks down.

  Kind regards

• XPS12 SMART short self-test fail WHD16 LY6

  "When you run the Dell ' Checkup" utility on the SSD drive, the drive will fail with:

  SMART short self-test fails WHD16 LY6

  The remaining tests are ignored. The suggestion is to update the firmware. However, my drive is:

  LITEONIT LMT-256M6M 256GB mSATA

  and I can only find firmware on the Dell site for both LITEONIT SSD 256 GB drives, or precisely what mine are. (Only LITEONIT LCS-256M6S 2.5 256 GB and LITEONIT LMT-256M3M MSATA 256Go are listed).

  I have the latest drivers for the disk (9Q23_Storage_Driver_X6KKJ_WN_11.5.0.1207_A01. (EXE)

  Are there available firmware, and if so where is it please? Otherwise, what is the next step?

  Thank you.

  Thanks, EJN - F12 diagnostics appear clean. I guess that I'm worried about this then.

  No, if it times out. If you want to check your hard disk, run the diagnostics Dell drivers and Utilities disc.

  Hello Atelier42, this usually indicates that you have a hard disk failure.

  I would like to back up my data as soon as possible, just in case the hard drive breaks down actually.

  You must also make sure that you have the HP Recovery restore set for your system recovery disc in case you do not want to replace the hard drive.

  With this restore HP Recovery disk set, you could replace a defective hard drive and use this disk set to your HP system back as it was when shipped. Then, you could put your data saved on your system.

• SMART short Self Test Failed - (error code: WHD16-8NR)

  Hi all

  I had my XPS L520X for 4 years and 2 months. I've never had a problem with its operation until last week. Randomly, it restarted and came with the PCI Realtek issue when it restarts.

  To cut a very long story short Fault find it which is going on, I reinstalled the entire operating system, including formatting of the hard drive.

  The problem of the laptop different freeze/crash and reboot with erros while doing normal tasks has not been resolved.

  I have run the Dell support center software and it shows the auto SMART test failed with the following code (error code: WHD16-8NR).

  I also went in the BIOS BOOT MENU by pressing F12 at startup and ran diagnostics that seemed to have said everything going, however I saw a mistake, faliure in its process that was too fast for me to write the error.

  In a nutshell, my thought is that my hard drive has failed / is corrupted or is about to fail.

  My simple question is, do I need a new hard drive with the information I've provided?

  Thank you very much!

  To all those who read this topic:

  I rang Dell directly and they confirmed my hard drive needs to be replaced.

  8792 power over time, I think that its actually me good.

  Bravo and thanks for the reply ejn63
