XPS 8700 Hard Drive failure - after less than TWO WEEKS

• XPS 8700 hard drive not recognized

  My new 8700 XPS desktop computer will not recognize additional hard drives that I am trying to install.  I know there have been several discussions on exactly this topic and tried unsuccessfully suggested changes (details below).  A few basics - my BIOS revision A07 (as dated 13/03/2014) and OS is W8.1.

  Adding disk hard SATA cable is a small HDD (250 GB) that I used in my old computer for the holding of the backup files. He's definitely working.

  I installed and then used work around this forum - go into the BIOS, change the Boot Mode safe "Custom" then change Secure Boot to "disabled ' then F10 to save and exit.  Device Manager displays the two hard drives, but the added disk does NOT appear in the Windows File Explorer. I tried several SATA connectors on the motherboard and try to put the 'Legacy' Boot, then returns to "UEFI" when the computer complains.

  All to nothing does not.  Ideas and I don't want to live with a new computer that will let me add more readers!  Help!

  Just has been disconnected from the Chat with Technical Support - problem seems to be resolved.  The 'new' drive was in the Device Manager and present as a "foreign" drive  Product support (PS) right click on the drive and did a "import as new disk" (or something like that) and... pow!  I got my drive appears.  More details later if anyone is interested.  Me - I'm going to get fresh coffee and enjoy my new computer for a bit.

• X 230 HARD disk failed after less than 6 months...

  Hello

  I have a laptop computer X 230 and I run the Diagnostics and health care system and it seems that the HARD drive has no 2 test here: 'targeted reading test' and 'SMART short self-test.

  The same program said my warranty expires in 240 days, but I don't know that I bought the cheaper coverage option, so I don't know exactly, what is covered by the present.

  Can you please give me some advice on how I should contact Lenovo to replace my HARD drive if it is covered by the warranty?

  Thank you

  Razvan

  AFAIK all ThinkPads are covered by at least 1 year warranty. The HARD drive is covered by this warranty, so you should be able to get it replaced.

  I contact Lenovo support and provide them with the results of the health care system and Diagnostics. This should be sufficient to establish that the HARD drive has failed.

  I hope that you have already created a recovery media and/or have recent backups of the data on your HARD drive. Lenovo will send you a replacement HARD drive, but you will be responsible for the restoration of Windows and your data on it.

• My EliteBook 2760p had a hard drive failure and now, after replacing, it works a lot slower

  Good afternoon!

  I have a serious problem with my EliteBook 2760p!
  About two months ago, my EliteBook had a disk failure hard and after more than two weeks of control and test.
  the hard drive has been replaced, and I received my EliteBook return.
  I immediately saw that the previously installed Windows 7 with Croatian language pack and MS Office starter edition
  has been replaced with an English version of Windows 7 without the starter edition of MS Office.
  I also noticed that my EliteBook was significantly slower than it was before the change of hard disk!
  This situation was unacceptable, and I took my EliteBook serving for additional repairs.
  The gentleman of the function COS ZEL in Zagreb took a week or so more to test and verify everything
  out and then he said that "they are not the error I described, and I can now pick up my EliteBook.

  My EliteBook is always in this State and is considerably slower than it used to be!
  Even more, the screen does not "flip" when I turn. In addition, the buttons at the bottom of the screen,
  do not work.

  I would like to know where I can go do my EliteBook restored to the exact state as I initially have bougth inside
  or be replaced by the new EliteBook under warranty because this state my EliteBook is online is not
  acceptable or feasible.

  Kind regards

• How can I recover 12 PE after hard drive failure?

  February 25, 2014, I bought Adobe Premiere elements 12. The "my-products-services" page that it lists as well as all the other Adobe products that I bought for my Windows 7 64-bit desktop PC.

  I managed to reinstall CS6 Design and Web Premium after a catastrophic hard drive failure last month; However, am currently blocked in even trying to locate where on the Adobe Web site it might be permissible for me to re - install. For unknown reasons, my license is ss12, but my order is not listed under account - orders.html #myorderhistory. CS6 is shown on this page and was how I could restore CS6.

  Does anyone know what I should do next?

  Warmly yours.

• 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.

  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

• HP Pavilion Touchsmart - hard drive failure

  My hardly used HP Pavilion Touchsmart is extremely slow and even a simple operation like 'save' used to take hours. I did a check of HDD on login and this resulted in the following result:

  Earlier on, I had a startup problems, so I gave her the laptop for curries that have indicated that they add a new hard drive.

  So not sure that the problem has been resolved, but I have a hard drive failure.

  How do I rectify this? All solutions?

  Thank you.

  Each time the short hard drive DST test fails with 24 alphanumeric characters "PQDVW2-6PL7RA-MFPWXG-6OU603" which indicates that the hard drive has failed and which needs to be replaced to solve the problem

  This problem could be due to an Application or a driver conflict, virus issues, corruptions of files due to incompatible applications, incorrect judgments, update failures due to conflicts, mounted sudden power so portable, sudden falls etc...

  HP will offer a replacement HDD if the laptop warranty is Active, otherwise you can buy a SATA hard drive in a nearby retail store

  Please make sure that you get at least equal as long as the original one in order to use recovery disks. If you need you can buy a bigger, but not smaller hard drive capacity. For example, if you have a 500 GB hard drive you can improve it to 750 GB hard drive, but not 320 GB hard drive

  Please try the troubleshooting below indicated once the steps:

  Step 01. Remove the battery and unplug the power adapter AC.

  Step 02. Press and hold the power button for more than 30 seconds

  Step 03. Plug the AC power adapter / (leave the battery for now)

  Step 04. Press the power button and check if the unit is operating normally

  If the steps listed above is not enough, then you can try reinstalling the hard disk on your laptop

  If the problem persists again please Contact HP if your HP laptop is under warranty, HP could replace the hard drive and provide recovery media to restore the operating system to factory after the replacement (if you have not yet created recovery disks/USB support)

  Note: Back up all personal data on an external drive if possible. Otherwise, you can connect the HDD defective via SATA USB adapter with another PC or a PC even after replacing the HARD drive & put in place of the operating system and try to copy / retrieve files.

• 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 Pro P200 - Smart error "imminent hard drive failure".

  Hello! I wonder if someone can help me.

  Start the computer, the other day the S.M.A.R.T diagnostic program came suddenly on saying a "hard drive failure may be imminent," when I open the Intel Matrix Storage console, it says that the hard drive in port 0 has had a S.M.A.R.T event recorded against him but that of port. 2 is 'normal '.

  Port 0 is the volume of the operating system on it and if so what would be the best way to back up the disk and what someone knows how to change the hard drive and how much approximately would this cost?

  Thanks for any help inadvance.
  Paul.

  Hello!

  In my opinion, you should back up all the data as quickly as possible. In the worst case you could HARD drive might completely die and then you are not able to save the data on it.

  After that you should swap the HARD drive. It s depending on the model of HARD drive you buy how much it will cost but drives hard are not so dear to our days. I think that it will be possible to get one for 50 Euros.

  Good bye
