  I have run "chkdsk" and also contacted Dell who advised a full diagnosis running. This indicates that all aspects of the computer and the hard drive are ok.

  Hello tassie steve,.

  You should replace the disk, and then clone on all content, including the MBR (master boot record) to the new drive. What brand you buy, you'll be able to download this free utility software from their site. Do it now, while you can always transfer your data! Hope this helps you. Make it a great day!

• Satellite L650 - Windows detected a hard disk problem

  I have 9 as 4 months old satellite L650 that this microsoft Windows message keeps popping up. "Windows detected a hard disk problem, back up your files immediately to prevent the loss of information... etc" have I not a bum hard drive or is it a mistake?
  I have
  have the media discs to recover and this means that I have to reformat the HARD drive and try again. !

  Hi watthhel,

  I think the error message must be correct to Windows 7 and you must do what tells you the message: immediately back up your data and replace the HARD drive with a new one. In your case I would never save important files on the HARD drive. Too risky to lose important files

  Your laptop is 4 months old and that would mean it s covered by the warranty. Contact your local authorized service provider and ask for a replacement drive. They will exchange it and the service is free. :)

• Windows detected a hard disk problem after factory reset?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5320, not old at all. I tried to download a game and then got the BSOD. I had to reset my PC, lost what I had, but ended up from scratch. Now, every so often, I get a message saying "Windows detected a hard disk problem. Back up your files immediately to prevent the loss of information... ». I have right click the disk hard "defective" for the error checking, no errors found. I tried HD Tune Pro, and tells me 'Warning' for the State of health (05) reallocated sector count (failure) is red, and number of events (C4) reallocated (warning) is yellow. Does this mean I have to replace the hard drive? The computer was working completely fine until BSOD. Now it works and everything but I get this error message. The laptop is not only really old and never any injuries, but perhaps past warranty. I really have nothing left to save, because I lost everything when I have to reset it to factory State. Any advice?

  It's really up to you.  Sometimes there may be false positives, but it looks like your drive is really having some problems.  It was even the cause of the BSOD, who knows.

  You can follow the steps of my colleague here to check your drive for errors:
  http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/6221-chkdsk-check-drive-errors-Windows-8-a.html

  But really, I would take the advice and replace the drive.  Or at least be prepared for this 'die', then save your files somewhere else like OneDrive or something so you don't lose important information when it does.

• Product name: G5350uk: Windows detected a hard disk problem

  Hello

  Windows 7

  Serial number: [personal information deleted]

  Product name: G5350uk

  Number of hard driveT3750528AS

  Windows and Intel are telling me that my hard drive is about to fail, but no reason is given. The drive is only about a third full.  I saved everything according to the instructions of Windows but don't know how to proceed.  Windows tell me to contact the computer manufacturer to determine if the disk must be replaced or repaired, but as my PC is now out of warranty I do not know if HP would be able to help me.

  I have attached a PNG file with two errors.  Printing of Intel is not very clear but says "drive on Port 0: at risk.  I have reset the error but it keeps re-appearance.

  Can someone point me in the right direction to have this issue resolved for example find a cause and repair or replace the drive?

  Thanks for your help

  

  Hey there @cws777!

  I think it will be best to replace the hard drive with a new one. As @wb2001 writes that you can try to clone your current OS using a cloning software, and if you decide to go with a WD drive, you can use Acronis True Image WD Edition:

• On the Satellite C - Windows HARD disk failure has detected a HARD disk problem

  Since 2 days have been making repeated dialog "Windows detected a hard disk problem", warning of potential failures of the disc so back up, what I did. Disk in question is a Toshiba MK-5065GSXN.

  As a non-tech user, my instinct is that a new laptop is a better choice than to call Toshiba support for a laptop warranty (2 years) out of.

  On the other hand there may be a simple software fix. The opinion or advice welcome

  Hello

  The message says that something is wrong with the HARD drive.
  It might be possible that your HARD drive will die sooner or later so his need to backup data on another HARD drive, disk or flash memory.

  Finally, I must say you n don't need to buy a new laptop just because your HARD drive starts to hurt work in such cases purchase a new HARD drive and replace it
  HARD drive is not very expensive and the replacement of the HARD disk is very easy in your user manual

  PS: what model of laptop you have exactly?

• Why my computer says "Windows has detected a hard disk problem", even though it says that the drive works fine in the properties?

  Hello

  I was doing some courses on my computer until this window came on my screen and playback;
  "Windows detected a hard disk problem. I immediately went and checked in the properties to see the current status of the disk, and it says "this device is working properly" I am confused and decided to restart my computer. Again, read the error message and it says that the disc was allowed in properties. Every 15 minutes or so, the same error message. I'm running on Windows Vista Edition Home Premium and have had the computer since 2008. Is this a virus? Or - is this just the computer falsely detect a problem?
  Can anyone help please?

  Thank you very much

  Liam

  What you see in the drive properties in Device Manager has to do with drivers and the drive configuration, not the real state 'physical' the reader.

  First of all, I error side of caution and if sure you have a backup of all your personal files, data, music, photos, contacts, movies, etc., external media (favorite external hard drive).

  Run the check disk (chkdsk); I suggest to run with two checked options, difficulty of file system errors and scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

  How to run the check disk at startup in Vista or Windows 7

• Portege M400 - XP Setup cannot detect any HARD disk

  Hello world

  I have everything, what I can and can't try. During the Installation of Windows XP cannot detect any HARD disk.

  PORTEGE M400 PPM40E-0DG0253I
  BIOS 3.8

  Installation of Vista properly with RAID, but XP installation drivers won't work for all that. I try a lot of drivers (versions even for Vista), with integration of nLite, with SD-start 16-bit back, DriverPacks. I bought no change - disk-USB, the laptop cannot see HDD. I try also with the USB-SATA external enclosure, but this without success, but I can see the HARD drive

  Any ideas?

  There may be errors or bad sectors which Windows can fix, but if
  the disc is bad get one as soon as a new POSSIBLE. In the meantime I save all your

  If you get the new HARD disk, you can install a clean Windows

• Cannot start Windows, Windows Setup does not detect the hard disk, Bootmgr is misiing

  I have a few problems on my laptop [Acer 3810 t]

  -The first problem
  My mobile give me screen "cannot start windows' who have 2 choices: run the Startup Repair tool and boot normally. I chose to fix it, but nothing happens and stuck "starting windows" and gives unmountable boot volume 'blue screen '. the Dungeon of blues screen appear (for laptop is a not restart). So I turned off my phone and turn it back on it. the "could not start" screen again and I chose to start normally. but the result is negative. My portable Dungeon cannot start windows. Because of that I am using the advanced boot option and choose all the boot type such asit cannot load the safemode, last configuration etc, but the result is the same, you cannot start windows. in safe mode, its stuck in loading fileinfo.sys. I do not give up to try again with the advanced boot option. until I have a bad situation. My laptop can only 1 file in safe mode and blues screen do not appear again (my laptop only return at the beginning of start or restart)

  -The second problem
  because it cant solved, I want to reinstall my laptop. My OS is Vista 32 bit (pre-installed). I want to install the new operating system, windows 7. I use Dsik Flash bootable USB to install Windows 7. But in the BIOS, it is detected as a USB HDD. So I set my BIOS to load USB HDD to the first order. the installation can be done, but only until the "start Setup" screen and its deadlock. I have it wait up to an hour, but nothing happens. So I'm going to BIOS, change SATA mode to IDE mode AHCI. Then load the USB and go "installation program start screen. but the new problem is the installation of window does not detect my hard drive. So I can not choose the place to install the operating system. I have to load the driver, but I did not. Again to load the configuration to AHCI and IDE, until I get my HDD can detected in IDE mode. So I think I can move easily, I choose custom installation and choose the hard drive to install the operating system. But unfortunately, at the beginning of the process, after choosing the OS, the Installer gives error if installation location the installation failed. (I forgot the error message)

  -The third problem
  So far, I can't spend 'startup begins' as well in mode IDE and AHCI. Also bootmgr in my hard disk is missing, so I can't go to move the startup repair or the startup option in my HDD as before

  What is the error code that you got with blue screen?

  I think that there is a problem with your drive HARD check that by contacting acer...

• Hardware or software problem? Freezing of Windows and 1 hard disk failed.

  My Pavilion dv7 freezes at the windows startup screen.  I can't via safe mode.  It starts and hangs at disk.sys.

  I ran a diagnostic and start-up test and hard drive tests showed 1 hard disk had a default ID: PLP773-4SX5SL-XD03GK-60V003.

  As I am able to boot and I have run diagnostic test, I would not have thought that the hard drive was not.  I thought it would be a corruption of software.  Unless the hard drive is failing.

  What do you think? Software or hard drive?

  Don't know whether to order a recovery disc or not.  If it is a hard drive, non-techie can someone order a new hard drive and install?

  Hello

  Well the error 305 definetely would indicate a hard failure.

  The link on the hard drive in the guide below is for the United Kingdom - I guess that it is where you live as suffix to your model number (ea) is the same as mine, but if this isn't the case, the HARD drive (or a very similar) is available almost everywhere.

  Replacing the hard drive.

  The player at the link below is an example of one that would be perfect for your laptop.

  500 GB hard drive for laptop.

  The procedure to replace the hard drive begins on Page 47 of your & Maintenance Guide.

  Once this is done, simply use your recovery DVD to reinstall the operating system on the new drive.

  If you do not have your recovery discs, you can order a replacement set using the link below.

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

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

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

  Extraction of files from the hard drive.

  The device used by PC World has been a Hard Drive caddy - an example of one of them is here.

  However another possible way to try and recover your files (and does not cost anything) a disc non-boot is to follow the process described in the link below.  The CD of the Ubuntu operating system you create can launched from the CD alone (IE it doesn't have to be installed on the hard drive) and I've often found to successfully extract data from a hard failure.  When you created the CD, follow the instructions and see if you can save your existing files.

• 'No' genuine copy of windows after a hard disk failure.

  I have a 2 years old HP Pavilion G series and recently my hard drive has failed and could no longer boot to the top, so I bought a new hard drive and reinstalled windows using the drive of my friends and my original product key. (I don't have a disc of windows 7 because the computer did not come with one) Now, I get an error message that my copy is "not authentic" even if it's... What do I do?

  Also, it did not help because there is no phone option...

  ' Try to activate again by phone:

  Activate Windows 7 manually:
  1. click on start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4

  2. press enter on your keyboard

  3. Select your country.
  4. Select the telephone activation option and brace yourself for a real person.

  "

  And whenever I try to activate, I get an error...

  Thank you!

  Hi Paul,.

  This problem may occur if you perform a hardware important change to your computer, such as upgrading the hard disk. If a major hardware change requires activating Windows again, you will advise and will have three days to activate your copy of Windows.

  Another common cause of failed Windows validation occurs when you try to install Windows on more computers than your license allows. For example, if you have purchased a copy of Windows, installed on the PC more than one online validation may fail because the product key has already been used on another computer. Normally, the rule for most copies of Windows is that only one copy of Windows can be installed on a PC. Go to Microsoft Volume Licensing to learn what your license allows.

  Visit the link to contact Microsoft Customer Service and get another product key.
