• Drive problem hard dv8000 - does not recognize hard drives

  This is my first post, so please let me know if I did something wrong!

  OK, so the other day, I was working on my dv8000 when he walks just down. I turned it back and instead of properly start he told me that he could not find the operating system. Knowing that the machine was two disks in it, I swapped the primary with secondary school and always got the same result. Then, I went out and bought an external and attached drive Bay hard drive to my office. The disc was bad and kept cycling the heads. I have now bought a new HDD and the laptop is currently configured with the new disk into the main slot and the other original hard dirve I checked and it is good in the second slot. Here's my problem - when I go in the bios that the computer recognizes the two hard disks for boot options, but when I try to load XP from a cd to the laptop, it tells me that there is just no hard drives installed... What don't get me? I checked the disc for errors via the bios and the comeback test passed. I thought about formatting of readers but the bios doesn't have a format feature in what I can say. for all the intense and fine, the bios sees the readers, but the operating system does not work. Any ideas >

  Please help because this is my machine of the company and I can't keep borrowing my wifes laptop, she thinks I'm going to break this one too!

  Thank you.

  "When I try to load XP from a cd to the laptop, he tells me that there is just no hard drives installed... What missing am me?"

  Your cd does not necessarily include the required drivers. The original (MS detail) XP installation cd does not detect the SATA drives. Also some other readers can be detected, including the ATA/IDE standard. If you have your original factory CD, you could try this, it should work. You can try to install another operating system, for example. Ubuntu and see if these disk become visible.

• Qosmio F10-36: drive problem HARD and Qosmio player installation

  I bought the Qosmio F10-36, made in Germany for the Russia and CIS. After that 6 months, it was repaired due to problems with the motherboard, it was totally changed in the video card and now there are problems with the hard drive after the start of the very slow work computer and finallly collapsed.

  We had to format the hard drive and you must now install the player, Qosmio, which was also removed during this work.
  How we achieve this, I'm too far from the nearest service centre.

  frankly I am fed with this qosmio upward!
  If any chance that I would go back to toshiba filled like never such problems before.

  In my opinion maybe call and ask why this happen just to hear what they have to say about it.

  In any case, I recommend you to follow:
  If possible, back up all your data on an external device, such as USB key or HARD drive
  The first installation with recovery CD Qosmioplayer delivered Qosmioplayer
  When finished install OS using supplied recovery DVDs and you'll have the factory again settings

  After this check the unit carefully to make sure if there is just like before.

• Drive problem hard "smart hard disk error".

  Hello, about 6 months ago, I bought my HP envy m6-1252so, and since then it has been slow til to get totally stuck showing the "blue screen" error message, a month later, I turned on and showed me the message "no device found", then I went where I bought it and they said it was a software problem. That's why the guarantee would not fix because it takes that hardware problems (I have 3 years warranty). A friend, who is a maintenance-pc professional told me that the hard drive has problems and he screwed up, he has absolutely everything deleted hard disk ensuring that it would be totally free from virus and he reinstalled windows saying that I'm having the same problem soon, I had since re - install windows all almost 2 weeks because that the problem won't let me run windows showing me the message "error of. smart disc"and it could not connect to windows. My question is how could get my replacement of hard disk without having the same answer "it's a software problem?

  Sincerely, Milton.

  Milton,

  The "SMART Hard Disc Error' returned by your computer indicates that the hard disk has failed or is about to fail. Please see test of hardware failures (Windows 8) and/or test a hard drive in the BIOS for instructions on testing your computer for a hard disk failure. If the error codes are returned or a test does not complete, please contact the official HP support in your region / country, via the Portal to support HP worldwide, to file a warranty claim.

  You will need to use the HP recovery media, you created when you first set up your computer to restore the computer to a factory state after the hard drive has been replaced. If you create your personal HP recovery media, also contact HP support in your region / country, to see if the HP recovery support is available for your computer.

  If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

• Drive problem HARD bigger OptiPlex GX520 installation

  Hello. I have a GX520 SF and I'm the rebuild as a PC for my daughter. It has a 80 GB Samsung HARD drive, but as I can fit only 1 HD in the chassis and there is only 1 SATA connector, I want to install a larger capacity drive.  I have a new 320 GB Hitachi sister (HDP725032GLA360) but when I put it in the GX520 my WOOD seems to see all 320 (could be asit receives a text string to disk rather than the bios disk interogating?) but the sys op (XP Pro) sees only 120 GB (or there abouts). I tried to partition it and no partitioning it but I can't work around this problem.  I also downloaded and installed the latest version of the BIOS from the page drivers on the website of Dell GX520. Then, the questions are:

  Can I install the 320 GB drive and get to see / use it?

  If so, how - if not, why not?

  Otherwise, and 120 GB, that's all he can see, if I partition the drive on another PC as (for example) 120 / 120 / 80 can reinstall on the GX520 will go round the problem?

  If not, then what are the options should I for a larger HARD drive (capacity / brand / model)?

  Any help or advice gratefully received.

  Thank you, Steve.

  BTW - don't have a floppy drive installed to start from, or the original recovery CD.

  
  

• 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.

• Start/drive problems hard satellite L305-S5899

  Hello all - happy holidays and I would appreciate assistance. I just got this laptop for Christmas, and I woke up to find this morning in a blue screen! After I calm down, shut down the computer, and he refused to restart. Shows the TOSHIBA logo, then I get a black screen with a few letters indicating that the Realtek Ethernet part, then a line seems to say a multimedia cable is not found and more lines then seems to say there was no boot disk disk.please didn't insert the startup disk. I do - then the screen took me to the two options in a gray box - Toshiba system recovery or Restore Wizard. I take the Toshiba Restore Wizard. Now, no matter what I take (Out-of-box restore or clear HD) I get an error message when it tries to action and wonder of click OK to close the system.

  If I try the system restore, it only tells me no detected WIndows...

  Say the recovery disks to hold 'C' when the power is turned on and release when the Toshiba screen appears. I did and I got a black screen for hours who have sometimes a blinking cursor, a stable cursor or anything. I tried '0' as I've seen in these forums - nothing. I can't access F8 - all I get is F2 and F12 when I boot.

  Again, the restore CD will work, but when I get to take action, I get an error message and tells me to press OK to turn off the computer.

  It OF a lemon? Is my hard drive dead to the world? -What happened? It was fine for 3 days. I use BitDeffender and scan every night.

  Still, any idea would be appreciated.

  > Is my hard drive dead to the world?

  Looks like you had a bad luck for me it s not well explained why it happened, but it looks like a disc HARD does not run correctly.
  I recommend to check if the HARD drive has been recognized in the BIOS.
  If it isn't-> then the HARD disk is dead.

  However, your laptop is new and I think you should visit your dealer and replace Notepad or you could contact the nearest ASP in your country and could ask for help.

  In any case everything should be done for free because your warranty is valid and should cover everything!

  Good luck

• drive problem hard addiing ix4 - 300 d

  Hello!

  I started with 3x3tb in a RAID5 configuration and now improved with a record 4th of the same model. Extension went well, and I see the new size in the management of disk (as well as the header bar), but stocks still point to the old size. Tried to restart, but did not bring the EXPECTED success

  My guess is that some storage pool would need expansion, but I have not found such option anywhere. Any help appreciated

  See you soon,.

• Qosmio F60 turning is not on - HARD drive problem

  My F60 running stock windows 7 and when I turn it on I get a black screen with the following text:

  + Check the file system on C: +.
  + the type of file system is NTFS.
  + Volume name is s3a5802d002 +.
  + One of your disks needs to be checked for conisitency. +
  + You can cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended that you continue.
  + To skip verification of the disc, press any key within 10 seconds.

  If I leave it just like that.
  I try to ignore it, and it does not work so I turn it off and go again on the third time, to turn on while I press ESC. What should I do about it?

  Re: do everything or send it as it is only 6 months old, it is Bernard did this for 5 months

  Hello

  It sounds a bit like a HARD drive problem.
  I recommend checking out the HARD drive using a free tool called Drive Fitness Test
  This free tool allows you to get more details on the State of the HARD drive and maybe some error would be detected which would mean that HARD drive failures and disk HARD must be replaced.

• Alternative to the reset by Satellite A660 for potential HARD drive problem

  In the last week or two, I got a few blue screens, saying he was driving demand, and that windows must be shut down to avoid damage my computer.

  I have just restart and continue working.
  The last time it happened, I had repeatedly "initialization failed" and it says hdd, SDS, fdd. If I pressed the power button until I didn't see no signs of activity, then started. Things went well. I called Toshiba support and they recommended that I go home and save my files before continuing. It took hours selectively to clean, sort the previous backups, and a small footprint of the backup system.

  When I called Toshiba once again, they recommended a "takeover", which is restoring the factory settings. It puts me in the stone age. I have to go through a never-ending process of the upgrade to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, install and reconfigure all the applications and environments/configurations, etc. It will essentially take on holiday, if not more. I'll also have to get another computer (maybe a netbook) to stay in touch while I restart my laptop. It's barely more than a year.

  Is there a diagnosis I can do to determine the probability that there is a hard drive problem? Support for Toshiba said that is the surest way, because it provides a diagnostic F10 for the hard disk code, and it also pushes the bad sectors at the end of the disc (logically, I suppose, since you can't physically move a fault).

  > About Hitachi DFT, is it important that my HARD drive is Toshiba mk6465gsx? This is what is displayed "Hard drives" in the Device Manager.

  It s no matter what HARD drive manufacturer, it is the Drive Fitness Test is able to scan all hard drives to find errors.

  > Also, http://www.hitachigst.com/support/downloads/#DFTshows links to create boot disks, but I was wondering if I could create a bootable instead.

  Not sure if this is possible if there is that one option to create a startup disk, and then a flash stick does not work. But of course you can try this out.

  > This laptop does not come with a floppy drive, and I still create coasters trying to burn discs.
  You don't need the floppy drive, the tool must create a disk bootable (CD)

  > I guess that the same question can be asked on Memtest86. Another issue is the relevance of Memtest86 for my system. My c drive has a "Program Files" folder, but also a "Program Files (x 86)" folder for 32-bit applications. Memtest86 is for the x 86 architecture. I don't know if my 64-bit Windows 7 involves a non - x 86 architecture.

  I guess that Memtest86 should also work on Win 7 64 bit systems. But also the MemTest 4.20 is 64-bit capable

• Satellite C665D - the second time the same problem HARD drive.

  I have a laptop C665D. Eight months after I buy, I had hard drive problem (reallocated sector count-> value about 2000!).
  So I send to the service and got with the new hard drive.

  And now, after 7 months, but I have the same problem, (down hard drive).

  My question is why this happens two times, this same defect?
  Anyone had this same problem?
  Is a problem with this series of laptops?
  Can I do something to avoid damage to the next (third) disc?

  Thanks for any help.

  > So my question is why this happens two times, this same defect?

  Any HARD drive is going to die sooner or later, the HARD drive is not reusable part.
  Read and write data to the HARD disk would cause the head moving in many cases, the disk dies because of the head crash.
  Moving the laptop while the disk is in use would affect the functionality of the HARD drive.

  On my laptop I have a utility called installed HARD disk protection tool.
  HDD Protection detects the vibrations, shocks and similar signs in the PC and the disk head moves automatically to a safe position to reduce the risk of damage that might be caused by the contact of the head-to-disk.

  Advise to use such tool too

  By the way: HARD drive problems have nothing to do with the series of laptop

• 1206tx envy 6: Windows install hard drive problem

  I currently install windows 8.1 and in my cell there are two ssd 30 GB drive hard one and only one 500 sata.
  I can't install on sata as it says it's style gpt and I tried to delete and now it is not allocated and is not awarded. On the ssd, it was in error, and I read a forum saying that removing the drive sata hard and get on ssd. I did and I did but after connecting the hard drive it is said that there are no windows installed.

  Hi there @Abdull,

  Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome! It is an excellent site to find answers and ask questions. I watched the Style GPT error and the error No Windows installed.

  The laptop you have comes with SATA 500, but you also have a 30 GB SSD. Does do that? The SSD is external, or put in the machine yourself?

  I would say performing a HP System Recovery to reinstall the operating system, assuming that the partition is still intact. If this is not present, you did a set of recovery media?

  Please follow these troubleshooting steps, re-post and let me know how everything went.

  Thank you!

  Have a great day!
