• Windows hard disk error message

  I just got a strange error message that popped up while I was surfing around Facebook.  Before you do anything, I want to be sure that it is legitimate and not somebody trying to make me install a virus or something like that.  And if it is legitimate, I want to know what I would do to this topic.

  The error message says:

  "Windows has detected a hard disk problem.

  Back up your files immediately to prevent loss of information, and then ask the computer manufacturer to determine if you need to repair or replace the disk. »

  Then it gives me two options:

  "Start the backup process."

  "Ask me later".

  If the drive fails before the following caveat, you may lose all the programs and documents on the disk. »

  So, if I click on the button "Show invisible characters", he says:

  "For immediate action."

  Because a disk failure will make you lose all programs, files and documents on the disk, you should back up your important information immediately.  Try not to use your computer until you have repaired or replaced the hard drive.

  Which drive is a failure?

  The following hard disks are fault condition:

  Name of the disk: Seagate FreeAgent XTreme

  Volume: I:\ »

  I am running Windows Vista 64-bit and the hard drive in question is a disk Seagate external, as indicated by the error message.  Also I screenshotted the message box if this description was not good enough.

  Hello

  Disk problems can take seriously very quickly so I carefully check the disc now and do not forget
  to keep redundant backups of your important data (use several methods).

  Inside the Windows - Regular or Safe Mode (repeatedly press F8 as you start).

  Run checkdisk - schedule it to run at the next startup, then apply OK then restart your way.

• 'Built by HARD disk error' in Portege R200

  Hello

  My Portege R200 shows "built-in HARD disk error" start-up. " In the BIOS screen, it says "no drive" on the HARD drive.

  What should I do? I checked the connection and the drive is connected to the fine. I heard no noise when starting.
  Is this HARD drive problem? or maybe motherboard? Help!

  Lee

  The HARD disk rotates upward?

  Try resetting the BIOS to default settings.

  Other than that, I think that it's not just you can do except send the laptop to a repair center.

• SMART hard disk error message

  I have a Pavilion dv4-2045dx and I got the "SMART hard disk error" message since last night after my daughter felt my cell phone and I had a Crash report screen. Let him sit in the hope it to cool and start as expected. No luck...

  I already looked for several responses to the problem, but always returned empty-handed. I did the hard reset and I checked everything in the Diagnostices system only to control memory and battery by the way. I have not yet contacted HP about this. If I can fix it myself, I would rather to do.

  Anyone know of a way I can fix this WITHOUT having to buy a new hard drive?

  Thank you very much

  Sorry to bring bad news, but... If you have a SMART hard disk error then the drive is toast. There is no way around that.

  The INTELLIGENT notification system gives you a report that the BIOS sees when it queries the hard disk during the Power On Self Test, he always does before the start in the Windows operating system.

  I hope that you have created a set of HP recovery cd. If you did, then you still have your operating system intact. If you do not, you can buy a replacement of HP recovery disk. They are inexpensive.

  Best regards

• SMART Hard Disk Error - replace hard disk?

  A couple of days, I got an error when I start my computer (HP Pavilion dv6-6071eo), saying "SMART hard disk error" followed by a message telling me that SMART disk check has detected and imminent failure. He told me to my backup files, and then press F2 and do a hard drive test. On the last row, it displays "Hard Disk 1 (301).

  I tried to run the hard drive test, which does not instantly. I also ran the BIOS hard drive test. It meets the short test without problem and then stopped quite some time after the long trial began with the error "Disk Hard 1 full 305. My computer has also been slow over the last week.

  From what I've read so far, it seems that I need to replace my hard drive. Is this correct? If so, it would be a suitable replacement (functional): http://www.dustinhome.se/product/5010151237/western-digital-black-2-5-320gb-7200rpm-sata-300-16mb/#i.... Also, would it not interesting (and possible) upgrade to an SSD for reduction of noise and heat, which is a problem with this laptop (and several other portable simular at HP) compared to other laptops.

  In addition, it might be good to mention that my warranty has expired.

  Have you checked to see if there is a free space left on the hard drive? A complete hard drive will make the system work very slowly and it may also keep the system working properly if it is fairly comprehensive. The fact that you take the short test means that there is nothing major to mechanically wrong with the drive. Just right-click on the icon for the main C:\ drive likely "computer: and select 'Properties'.» If the disc is not actually full, then I suggest to replace. If you can afford a SSD, Yes, there is no doubt that is the way to go. There is nothing wrong on one ssd, other than an occasional fight to install it. I have been using SSD for awhile and I had installation problems we often see reported here, but do not be discouraged, we are here to help.

• Smart hard disk error: "Press enter to continue and it starts OK.

  I have run chkdsk full and sometimes without error, but at startup it says Smart hard disk error. Press ENTER to continue and it starts OK

  Go into the BIOS and run the drive Diagnostics (long version).

  Normally, when you get a SMART disk error this means imminent disk failure.  Smart drive test checks the environment of hard disk and is much more than chkdsk thorugh.

  A cautious soul would replace the disc if the diagnostic test is a failure.

• Satellite C660 - 23 M Windows 7 hard disk error

  I've only had my laptop (Satellite C660 - 23M) for three months, I started to have problems with him about a week earlier, including a time Blue Screen of Death, but I got the computer Safe Mode and did a system restored and it has been fine since then. Then earlier today, I had a Windows hard drive error, telling me to back-up and then repair or replace the hard drive. The back-up goes on an external hard drive as we speak, so fingers crosssed I can't stand to lose all my data.

  I created a disk backup media when I got to the laptop but every time I tried with validation, it would fail, but in time, I don't think I should be so little time, just so created a non-validated copy and thought that would be nice (I'm now concerned!).

  Should I restore my hard drive? If so, how? What has caused this? And because it is only 3 months old, am I stuck with a laptop to duff who will continue to break down on me?

  Hello

  In your case, I would recommend to check the capacity of the HARD drive.
  This can be done using the freeware tool called disk HARD Drive Fitness Utility.
  I guess that this software can help detect HARD drive errors.

  If the HARD drive would be affected, then you need to replace the HARD drive.
  Here you will find a nice instruction how to do this:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/Ann.jspa?annID=138

  the laptop seems to be covered by the warranty, if the HARD drive can be replaced under term average conditions, this can be done free of charge
  I would recommend asking the ASP (partner in your country) for this HARD drive they could send you this HDD.

• Cannot enter Windows, hard disk error

  Hi, I have a HP G62 - a31SO Notebook PC and yesterday it froze and now I can't get into Windows 7. I did the test drive at startup and got failure ID ' Q0AMXT - 54T 666 - 9XL03G - 60XP03. Now, I don't have my warranty anymore but I really want to know what the problem is. I can't reinstall with a custom, Setup it stops on "loading". I really want to enter the HARD disk to back up the stuff I have.

  Sure I have posted this in the wrong forum area, but I didn't really know where she should have been posted.

  SATA I and II will work, not sure about SATA III.

• Satellite Pro L650 - hard disk is not initialized.

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L650 and I am having some problems.

  It all started a few weeks ago, I received the dreaded screen black death (windows could start, but then just came up with a black screen and a cursor. After playing well, I thought that a reinstall of windows would do the trick.

  It worked, but none of my pilots have been installed... After much research, I found my Toshiba repair disc. I put in and went to fix it. At half way through formatting the drive, it came with an error, saying that he was unable to delete a specific file, it asked me to reset.

  So I reset, and it came with a screen with "this disc is not initialized, Please initialize now."
  So I pressed Yes, and it resets, it came with the same screen. and again and again.

  So that's where I am. It is only a year old, and already got the replaced disk. I'm desperate difficulty, I don't want it to become a grammage of paper-dear...

  First of all I m wondering why the message appeared saying that the disk is not initialized have you used the Toshiba restore for the OS installation disc or have you used any other Windows disc?

  On the other hand, it might be possible that your HARD drive is malfunctioning, the cursor blinking in the upper left corner is a sign for this fault
  So I recommend you to check the HARD drive. Use a tool like Drive Fitness Test, for example, it helps you to check the HARD disk
  If errors will be displayed so the HARD drive needs to be replaced

• SMART hard disk error (301)

  I WANT m6-1120sw my friend. When I turn it on it shows SMART drive hard error, said diagnosis: "SMART Check: NOT AVAILABLE, short DST: caution. His old HDD, I replaced it with a new one, but nothing has changed. -What would be a problem with the SATA controller on the motherboard or is it something different?

  Hello
  
  Smart disk error indicates failure of hard drive. You still get any ID failure?
  
  Since you have already replaced it & not showing is not available, the probability is for the connection by defective SATA cable or SATA controllers or motherboard itself.
  What of all the other disk hard test - wide?
  
  Try HD Tune Pro software currently running on the system.
  
  You may have to contact HP for repair.
  
  Thank you
