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.

  • 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?

    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.

  • Windows-no disk error message?

    Processing Message C0000013 parameter. What is the cause and how to fix it? Help please

    Renee1231,
    If you get this error until something starts to load, you have a hardware problem.  First thing to do is to boot into your BIOS and make sure your drive is seen correctly.  So, I suggest you disconnect all external devices (except the keyboard, mouse and monitor) and you try to start.  If it still gives the error and you have your XP CD, then boot from your CD and you try a repair installation.  Here is an article that covers the installation of XP.

  • 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.

  • 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.
