• Reinstall Win 7 after drive failure HARD need activation key

  My HARD drive started failing and I managed to get my data off it.

  I installed an SSD and reinstalled windows from a new copy, because I can't create support of old HARD drive recovery as the recovery partition is damaged.

  The installed Windows 7 has worked mostly with the OEM key but I get updated windows warns about it is not not genuine Windows 7.

  I contacted Microsoft but they say I have to contact DELL to obtain a key to "activate" Windows correctly.

  Can anyone help - I'm in the UK so, apparently, I can't use the DELL us to get the recovery disks in the post.

  Thanks John

  If you can start installing Windows to the old hard drive. Run ABRbeta.exe by following the instructions in my Windows reinstallation Guide / a Clean Install of Windows 7: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/software-os/f/3524/t/19480753.aspx

  This will allow you to save your Dell OEM Windows 7 Activation of your old installation and restore it in your new installation.

• HARD drive failure... I want my back BONE!

  My hard drive has stopped working (the book drive failure) [I can not find my HARD drive when I boot from cd windows live]

  I did not create a set of recovery discs, and I can certainly recover my system with this hard drive

  If I buy a new disc of hard, how to get back my pre-installed OS, which obviously I paid for?

  I have a set of toll-free recovery disks?  I don't know if my warranty has expired, I will consider it...

  My computer: HP Compaq dx7400 format microtour

  It came with: Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit

  Call HP technical support.

  If you are under warranty they will send you a new HARD drive with both recovery media.

  Now, if you create your recovery media and you are out of warranty, then you will probably have to puchase the recovery media tech agent or an online form.

  I have been using a computer hp laptop for about two years and I'm very happy with it until recently, I had a big problem. My hard drive failed and I got to know that my hard disk is dead.

• Satellite A210 - 1 4 - possible signs of a hard drive failure

  Hello

  I use a Toshiba Satellite A210 - 1 4 and think that the hard drive may be showing signs of failure.

  _The symptoms are: _

  * While the Windows 7 boot frequently stops at 'Starting Windows' screen (before the Windows logo appeared) and all HARD drive activity stops meaning a hard reset is necessary to bring him back.

  * When I unplug the power cord on Windows 7, the computer freezes usually with nothing happens and stop any HARD drive activity, once again a hard reset is required to bring back to life.

  What are these early signs of HARD drive failure or is there something else wrong?

  Hey Buddy,

  For me it doesn t look like the HARD drive malfunction if Windows 7 stops when starting or freezes when you unplug the AC adapter

  Have you already tried to reinstall the operating system? It could be the software problem.

  If you still want to check your drive HARD uses a disk HARD Drive Fitness Test as a diagnostic tool. It s freeware so you can find it if you search on Google.

• HP Pavilion Slimline S5: Internal HARD drive failure, PC does not start

  Drive HARD internal of my HP Pavilion Slimline S5 failed and died recently (bought in 2011). My HP warranty is long gone.

  The splash screen has shown this message:

  1720-SMART hard detects an imminent failure

  Due to lack of player: SATA0

  Failed attributes: # 05

  I have several questions about this:

  1. Is it only caused by HARD drive failure? I want to replace it myself, but I don't really know if there are other parts to replace. Or it will be better to bring it to the computer shop to do carefully check?
  2. I can replace it with Seagate Barracuda 3.5 "(7200 RPM, 1 TB, SATA 3 or 6)? I think that the current HARD drive is Hitachi.
  3. I still need to transfer Windows OEM once the HARD drive is replaced?

  Thanks in advance.

  According to the packing of the Seagate, it might come with the software.  But if it is OEM drive then found the software by clicking HERE.  In general, I use a USB adapter for hard drive to clone if the PC will not support an additional drive.  Given that a number of incomplete model for the PC, it is difficult to find accurate info, but the Pavilion Slimline S5 I checked all have a motherboard with additional SATA ports.  Just have a spare SATA cable and power on the power port and try the cloning software.  Make sure that the drive is not touch a conductive element.  Usually, I place the additional reader on a cardboard box.

  Install the new drive as a replacement for the existing drive and connect everything as it is now.  Then connect the old drive in the manner discussed.  Boot from the CD created with cloning tools.  If the old drive is cloned stll, then when the software is finished, remove the old drive connections to see if the drive can start the computer.  If this is not successful, try to run the recovery screen (F11) BIOS boot manager.  If that does not work, use the Recovery DVD set brand when the computer was new.  If you did this, or lost them, then see THATto order a series.

  Symptom: The PredictFailure flag is set on the disk
  Cause: A logical disk has the failure to predict SMART bit set.
  Details: This disc is facing a problem and predicted that the drive will fail

  Symptom: failure
  Cause: A device reported 'Not OK' status.
  Details: The device, hard drive, reports a value of bad condition. This device won't be available until the problem is resolved. The Plug and Play ID for this device is \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0.

• HARD drive failure, I would like to know how to get Windows 7 return on it.

  Hello everyone, I had a HARD drive problem lately, but before moving on to describe my problem, here are the specifications of my laptop:

  HP Pavilion dv6 - 3264-ca

  AMD Dual-Core 2.2 Ghz processor

  6 GB OF RAM

  128 MB ATI graphics card

  750 GB Toshiba HDD

  Windows 7 64 bit

  The question:

  Recently, I had a HARD drive failure very unhappy. The recovery partition is not even load. I tried to boot my laptop with Linux with the HARD drive always attached, and it would not read. I pulled the HARD drive and placed in a box drive HARD and he would not yet be supported on Windows XP or Vista or 7. However, it would read in Windows Device Manager as well as in the BIOS.

  I need to extract some data priority there so I managed to recover all my data safe with a data recovery service, but now the drive is rendered useless. I was told a low-level format might be able to help him to be usable again, and if that were to happen, would then disappear the recovery partition in the process.

  In addition, I would like to install Windows 7 64 bit on the disk, but the box your laptop came with an installation CD, which is quite frustrating. Is he that sort of HP can let me download Windows 7 through any warranty service?

  I have a one year warranty on my laptop.

  In closing, I would like to know if I can get back Windows 7 on my HARD drive for free, or if I have to go to buy new Windows 7.

  All the tips of your kind people?

  Hello

  Here are two options.

  1. if you have (or can borrow) an installation disc Windows 7 at retail which is exactly the same version as your OEM installation - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit it is the version of exact details you need.

  If you do not access to the retail drives, you can create an installation disk yourself - just download good picture disc from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD.

  http://www.mydigitallife.info/Download-Windows-7-ISO-official-32-bit-and-64-bit-direct-download-link...

  Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key is located on the underside of your laptop when asked and once installation is complete, use the 'method of phone", described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want just a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally delivered with OEM Windows installations.

  http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/how-to-activate-Windows-7-by-phone.aspx

  Additional drivers, you may need can be found here.

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  2 you can order a set of replacement recovery disks using the link below - these costs about $30 if you live in the United States.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00810334

  If you have a problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

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

  Hello

  Do a hard reset first.
  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01684768

  The SMART drive test produces a prediction on the risk of hard drive failure, not a real failure.

  A warning to SMART disk error can appear for various reasons such as having been jarred abruptly computer or hard drive, be subject to the higher than usual temperature.

  Perform HP hard drive - wide test of the system BIOS Diagnostics shortly after switching on, tapping F10/F2

  If there are any Smart player or hard failure error you see, Hard Drive is a failure and the solution is to replace the drive.

  It would also be very wise to make sure that you back up all your files etc as soon as possible.

  Thank you

• Hard drive failure? Is it hopeless?

  I need help with my computer. It is a HP Pavilion p6510y desktop PC, running on Windows 7. I fear failure real hard drive, but I hope that I contracted a nasty virus and can somehow get rid of it and find my computer. It has been down for more than a year. Here is a picture of a blue screen, I get:

  

  So a little history on the situation: I bought this for College, I thought back to the fall of ' 09, but the release date on the specifications said 10 may therefore in any event, the model is around 4 years. I was not and am still not a computer person. I now learn exponentially, but as a younger kid, I've been remiss. I've ever used antispyware, malware, or antivirus prevention, preventing the security provided with the computer, I doubt that I've never used any protection.

  I also lost my manuals, disks, etc. Once again, carefree.

  Around a year ago, my computer started to act weird. I turned it on one day to see all my pictures have disappeared! Turns out that they were only hidden, so that made me think that it was a virus or malicious software affecting the computer. Shortly after, I started to have messages from the computer saying that I had a hard drive failure. I bought an external hard drive, made a comeback to the top, then performed a system recovery. After that, my computer fails to start. I don't remember what I did (it's been a year or more now), but I managed to get it to start, go to identify and exploit, load and after a time interval (no specific time. Sometimes it lasts ten minutes, sometimes he can walk for an hour) the Tower gets very strong (maybe fan? I hope not the hard drive, but I don't even know if they make sounds?) and the blue screen on the photo above appears with the sound.

  Possible other factors: I have a son who loves quite turn the computer off mid-treatment. Until my computer started failing, he managed to do this several times. He also likes the machine moving, then maybe that the hard drive is damaged if it was shaken during writing(terminology?).

  What computer knowledge can I? Very few things. I've been looking to start. I learned that a hard disk is a metal disc on which data are recorded by a small arm. It makes me nervous that the machine has been handled carelessly and the disc (or discs?) are damaged.

  I'm a continuous search, my next step is to download the manuals from hp for the computer to browse it for error codes and see if I can determine the issue, which is just something that I read is possible online.

  If I can fix this thing myself, I want to. I am determined. I'm eager to learn. I am not aware of the systems and parts currently, but with basic descriptions that I can learn. I have not understand the complex jargon, so in the answers please use simplified terms and specific actions or provide detailed explanations so that I can grasp concepts more complex and intermediate.

  Hi Tessla, welcome to the forum.

  The results of your tests indicate that the hard disk has failed and that it would need to be replaced.  Backup your data before it goes completely.  Did you create recovery discs when you got the computer, otherwise you can order them from services the customer of HP:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/bph07143

  If you feel adverturous and would like to change the player you see this site for help:

  The specifications of your computer indicates he had 750 GB SATA 7200 RPM, the new hard drive should be no less than that.

• HP Pavilion g7-2054sa Notebook: imminent hard drive failure - code GLQ3J0-65V838-MFPX0J-60C403

  I have the black screen at startup saying hard disk failure is imminent. Controls of the f2 said

  Drive hard SMART test failed

  ID GLQ3J0-65V838-MFPX0J-60C403 failure

  Product ID B1P45EA #AEU

  What it means? I also get messages on Windows 7 hard disk failure is imminent. What is in fact a hard drive failure?

  The problems started after system restore to a point previous (5 days ago) after downloading some updates of the site Web HP that have been identified as relevant, but caused freezes, which is why the restoration to the previous point. Still trying to get an idea of the problem areas. Most things work very well, but Windows Media Player does not properly is the most obvious fault so far. More I bought a new external hard drive to perform the emergency backup, but it is not recognized when I plug. It is however grateful already used very happy memory sticks.

  I'm likely to have a real failure, or is a false reading because things did not settle down properly after the system restore?

  I am not technically very advanced - perhaps at the limit of my understanding so simple popular suggestions/instructions.

  Thanks for all those who have followed this demand. Problem solved - I took it to a local repair shop in the end. While I could probably physically replace the drive myself quite easily, I wanted the confidence of an expert to provide the correct replacement and manages the much larger task to transfer everything at the latest so that I can resume normal with all that where it should be.

  I worked with my friends HP Desktop p6211f for two days now trying to solve the problems start where the main message was reguarding please insert bootable media.  This machine has been maintained by me and bestbuy for virus a few times so it is a prime suspect.  The problem is that the recovery media fails @ 8% with the error 0xe0ef0003

  Hardware HP F9 diagnosis reveals Smart errors ranging from BIOHD-3 and now BIOHD-8 BIOHD-1

  Suspecting a bootloader or simular virus we decided to try the back when we first met the error of 8% indicated above.  I replaced the SATA drive to origional WD 5000AADS (WD Green with AF) with a capacity of 500G also even SATA WD 5000AAKS.  This new disk actually started in windows as it has been previously loaded.  The choice to keep this copy of windows or the rest of the plant, it was decided to factory reset that after the recovery of the disc error was left in a State that doesn't start raining.

  I tried to change the SATA to IDE modes and also tried to change the drive cable with a good known as cable replacement of the drive with my own staff known good disk.  My drive BSOD after logo loading, normal since this window of Windows has been installed on different hardware.

  It has come to my attention of a few Documenhts from HP that the recovery media was probably linked to the new format of addvanced AF with 4 KB vs 512 k sectors, whereas if I replace the drive by another AF I should be good to factory reset?

  My concern is that some messages on the reguarding BIOHD1 through 3 form that replaces the hard drive works sometimes for a few months and then fails, but the real problem is that the faulty motherboard.  I don't want my friend to pay for the drive and it does not work, or it does not, but only for a few months until the bios cannot communicate with him again.

  Test CPU and tests of memory are ok.  DVD rom as well, that there is no other material other then a wifi card and hard drive.

  I can't find the list of motherboards pavilion recalled to check if this Pegation M2N78 - figure.

  Can someone advice me about the best next step.  Can I replace with another drive that is compatible AF or do I have to replace the motherboard.

  I think the motherboard of your model is notorious for failures of controller sata as evidenced in these numerous threads below.
