Windows 7 hard drive failure

Sign of pop up: the following hard disks are fault name ST3500413AS Volume C:\;D\ disk status

I have no idea what that means or what I need to do.  I did a virus scan and a recovery.  The recovery was supposed to be unsuccessful; However, the sign ceased to appear during a day.  After recovering, I noticed a change when the computer starts again.  Instead of a screen with choice or seconds ticking up to automatically start/start again, the only option was a bunch of F1.  I have never seen it before.  The computer is slower than usual.

Any suggestions?

Your hard drive is about to fail. You must get the repaired unit.

  • 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.

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

  • Installation of Java has wiped out everything on the computer receiver error message: "windows-delayed write filed" hard drive failure ' x 5

    I installed java and it wiped out my computer, no program, no picures, no parameters on the left? He even wiped my restore points.

    I tried to restore to the point of installation of java, but alas nothing has happened, now I get all these boxes warning "windows-delayed write filed" hard drive failure ' x 5 and also warning mean my HDD is in peril of the personal data.  This single icon left on my desk is the internet explore and internet runs very slowly, I am reluctant to sign something incase, there a virus or something.

    Please help me!

    Hi Carolinelightfoot,

    This error message occurs when the system could not read and write data to the registry file. The error indicates a problem with the registry.

    Method 1:

    You can run a Checkdisk to see if there are drive errors that can cause this problem.

    Check your hard drive for errors

    Note: When you run the disk check, there is a chance of losing the data that you can take a backup of important data before you run checkdisk.

    Method 2:

    You can also try to boot from a full version of Windows Vista installation disc and try to perform a restore of the system to WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment)

    What are the system recovery options in Windows Vista?

    Hope this information is useful.

  • hard drive failure

    I recently tried to upgrade to el capitan in yosemite. He failed during the installation process, and now, whenever I boot my mac need me in disk utility. I can't erase, restore, Mount/unmount my osx partition. I took it to the store, they checked, and it was the hard drive failure. IM wondering how I can run windows on it. I can boot into window normally and everthing worked.

    MacBook pro early 2011

    Windows is located on its own partition, and if your Mac partition is damaged in any way it is not part of the windows installation.

    If an authorized service apple tells you to replace the drive, you will need to back up your windows partition with something else than Time Machine, if it's not an a separate physical disk.

  • 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.

  • Satellite L655D-011-HDD/SSD Alert, HARD drive failure?

    I have an old L655D-011 of 6 months and yesterday it started to appear with the message to back up my files because there is a problem with my HARD drive. Well, after having a technical support in the past, I don't give that easily and simply run my laptop to the nearest authorized service center. Instead, I help out.

    I did the BIOS update finally. No change in question.
    Finally had time to create a recovery media. No problem with that at all.
    I reformatted. No change in question.
    Checked the health monitor. It shows that my HARD drive is "good". Yet, when I double-click the icon, I get a pop - up with the following message:

    "Toshiba HDD/SSD Alert."

    Disk0

    Your HARD drive is SMART failure to predict which monitors the status of operation of the HARD drive. Your HARD drive is facing a problem and CHIP controlling the software predicts that the HARD drive will fail. Toshiba strongly recommends that you create a back-up to the date of your HARD drive. Contact an authorized service provider to check your drive and buy a new replacement if necessary. »

    So, after that I decided to run a CHKDSK /f /r. Result: 'windows replaced bad clusters in file name \hiberfil.sys 44990.'

    I should be good to go, right? N ° same problem with the precaution of backing up my files.

    But this isn't good, is it? If my HARD drive is about to fail why monitor health show that everything is "good"? There is no problem with gel, pxe.boot errors, rattling disc, unusual vibrations or read/write failures.

    So, my questions (after all the above and see other threads to ask questions about HARD drive failure messages) are: were there any known issues where the SMART software does not work correctly? Are failure drives hard all from the same manufacturer (I've seen this happen - get a bad batch of a single manufacturer HARD drive)? The health monitor working correctly?

    In my opinion your questions cannot be answered simply.
    > Are there any known issues where the SMART software does not work correctly?
    How many people must confirm that they have the same problem? I guess this happens from time to time, but you cannot say that this problem is known.
    You will always find people who noticed the same issue and not on Toshiba forum only, but on all the forums where people discuss cell phones in general.
    > Is the disk failure hard all from the same manufacturer (I've seen this happen - get a bad batch of a single manufacturer HARD drive)?
    How to check or confirm this?

    You know, during the first backup all your important data, watch carefully what happens the next few days. If the info appears again and again, contact the nearest service Toshiba and let them Exchange the HARD drive.
    The guarantee is valid and it will be free of charge.

  • Hard drive failure is imminent!

    so I had a play and when I started the game, I was told that my computer will restart, then it started me off in the bios with the message "hard drive failure is imminent. IM wondering if I get another HARD drive I will need to get another copy of windows 10 buy or is there a way I can keep the windows 10 during a maneuver on my HARD drive?

    You can simply install the new disk, then start on a key USB W10 and install the operating system without a key, then when you get on the desktop, it should activate.

    Or clone the old disk to a usning new Macrium reflect free, then install the new disk, but if the reader fails it cannot establish so well.

    You can make the USB stick using this tool from Microsoft, you will need a 8 GB or more great drive flash usb, or you can make an ISO file and then burn it to DVD.

    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:

    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.

    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.

    Hello Stephen,

    In this case, may be your best option to create an Image of your existing installation system and store it on a HARD drive external - that can then be loaded on the new drive and your machine will be in the exact same condition as it was when the image was created.

    There is a good guide on creating it on the following link - start to the subtopic 'An Option'.

    http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/8956-system-image-create-Windows-8-a.html

    At the end of the process, be sure to create the 'system repair disc'.

    When the drive has been replaced, you can then boot from the repair disk and reload this Image to the new drive - the procedure is detailed in the guide on the following link.
