Hard Drive Failure on HP DV 6000 Pavilion laptop (dv6108nr) with Windows-XPsp3 OS - Need Data Recov

Hard Drive Failure on HP DV 6000 Pavilion laptop - Need Data Recovery Help
HP Pavilion DV 6108 NR, RG365UA, purchased in late 2006 at Best Buy, with Windows XP, upgraded to Service Pack 3. It has a Fujitsu hard disk, 60 gigabyte, partitioned into C: and a Recovery D:.
Windows tries to boot up, but goes to blue screen with the message: "Unmountable Boot Volume" for one second, then just keeps recycling until I force a shutdown.
BIOS Phoenix, hard drive test result: " #1-08 Fail "
I ran a disk analysis/recovery program on the Cdrive and it seemed to show the directory structure intact, and it was able to recover some files. I was using the free one from Seagate (which only recovers small files). The second pass didn't run so well, and during the third run the program said I should not proceed further, and I should contact a professional disk recovery company.
However, the D drive seems to be intact, so, I wonder if the disk is corrupted or just some aspect of the logical C drive is bad. Or does the disk have a mechanical failure, in which case, is a recovery disk even helpful at all?
How can I get the D: to run the recovery software on it? The recovery disks, made by Best Buy, only proceed to the R / F / Q option screen, and when I press R, I get a blue screen every time.
Tapping the F10 key during startup gets me nowhere. Ditto the F11 key.
I dont care about the hard disk; it is the data (files, docs, images, etc) that I want.
I contacted HP to order recovery disks but they are no longer available for my computer. (But see below, "UPDATE")
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Jon
===============================
UPDATE:
I found a website that offers the following:
www.computersurgeons.com/p-13442-recovery-kit-435422-001-for-hp-model-number-dv6108nr.aspx
Recovery Kit 435422-001 For HP Model Number dv6108nr
Price: $27.00
Recovery Kit Set (An Entire Image of the Computer hard drive when the computer was new)
But I wonder how useful it would be. Early XP , no doubt. And if my hard disk problem is a mechanical fault, would any recovery disk even work? The disks made by Best Buy when I bought mine new in 2006 don't do anything more than go to the R /F/ Q screen and then my computer goes to a blank blue screen when I press R (to recover the OS and apps and data files). And, as I wrote, it is the data that I want, not the disk drive.
Any help here would also be appreciated!

Hi @goshenguy
Thank you for your inquiry, I am happy to help.
I grasp you tested the hard drive from the bios and it failed. This tests the physical aspcects of the hard drive and when it fails it does require replacement. You were able to retrieve some of your files using recovery software but not all.
Your recovery partition is still intact and when you try to do a recovery with the disks from Best Buy you do not get past these options R / F / Q but will not proceed.
Here is a link to Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows XP, 2006 or Later) that may assist you in performing a recovery.
Here is a link to the Maintenance and Service Guide HP Pavilion dv6000 Notebook PC. Please note chapter 3 page 42 for a replacement hard drive part number.
HP Parts, HP Replacement Parts
If you are still unable to do the recovery, you could try contacting Best Buy for assistance with the recovery kit they provide.
I don't know if it is possible, but you may want to check cloning software to see if you could clone the D partion to the new drive or connect both drives and try a drive to drive copy of the D partition.
If you were able to successfully put the D partition on a new hard drive you should be able to do a recovery from the D partition to take it back to factory.
If none of the above has allowed you to successfully do a recovery, I suggest contacting Best Buy to see it they have options other then purchasing a third party recovery kit.
Good Luck!

Microsof VX 3000 or 6000 Webcam does not work with Lync 2013 under Windows 8.1

Hi,
The problem is that i cannot use the Microsoft VX-3000 or VX-6000 with Lync 2013 under Windows 8.1.
If i go in settings under Video i can see the preview from the webcam just fine, so it works there no problem.
Wenn i try to enable my camera in a conference it does not work, i get an error: Your video cannot be started.
Now, there are no Windows 8.1 drivers for the Webcam so i installed the latest Windows 7 drivers. Because of that this webcam does not work with apps, that is fine i understand the driver problem and the way the new apps work.
But this Webcam works with skype under Windows 8.1 and it works with Lync 2010 client.
The same Webcam works just fine with Lync 2013 under Windows 7.
Is there anything i could do so that i get this Webcam to work with Lync 2013 desktop client under Windows 8.1?
Thanks

Hi,
According to your description, it may be caused by driver.
You can try to install the latest version of Display Driver to fix the display issue.
Since there is no driver for Windows 8.1, I suggest you wait for updating.
You can also post a case on Windows 8 forum, thank you for your understanding:

HP Officjet 6000 E609n with Windows 2000

Downloaded full feature driver for Windows 2000 SP4 from HP website. Install works up to point of connecting to printer. Fails at 59% through after passing network diagnostics. Can use EWS with no problem. Firewall is turned off. Printer initially installed OK with Windows 7 computer on same network. Will perhaps basic driver work? Box says printer supports Windows 2000.

I have thesame problem with my c6180

N95 + One Touch Access issue on Windows Vista Busi...

Hi all,
I searched for a solution to this issue both in this forum and in the Nokia PC Suite help but I couldn't find any.
I'm able to use Nokia PC Suite with my N95 + cable DKE-2 except for One Touch Access.
When I clic on "Connect to the Internet" I get the following error message pop up:
"You do not have sufficient privileges to modify the connection properties. Only Administrators can create and modify connections."
The funny thing is that I am an Admnistrator of my notebook (I don't know how many times I checked it from the Advanced User Accounts Control Panel).
If I clic "Ok" I get the One Touch Access window with the following message:
"There are no Nokia modems installed. Please make sure you have installed Nokia Connectivity Cable driver software."
And below the picture of the notebook and the base station:
"No modem found!"
But if I check in the Device Manager (Control Panel) list I find "Nokia N95 USB Modem #2".
Moreover, as far as I understood, the cable driver is automatically installed with the Nokia PC Suite and I shouldn't reinstall it: http://europe.nokia.com/A4144937.

Thank you,

I've had the same problem but it was not solved by installing PC Suite 6.84 (as this failed to install), however this is how I got around it.
Find the "OneTouchAccess.exe" program. It should be in C:/Program Files/Nokia/Nokia PC Suite 6/. Right-click the "OneTouchAccess.exe" program icon and go to ‘Properties’, then click the ‘Compatibility’ tab. Under ‘Privilege Level’, select ‘Run this program as administrator’ and click ‘OK’.
Then when "PC Suite" tries to launch "OneTouchAccess.exe" via the "Connect to the Internet" icon, it does so with the right privilieges.
(Any body know why PC Suite 6.84 would not install on my Acer notebook running Windows Vista V6.0 Build 6000?)

Pavillion dv2000 with Windows 7 - Conexant hd audio

This HP Pavillion dv2000 did not come with Windows 7 when it was purchased, but was upgraded to Windows 7 two years ago.
Recently, Conexant hd audio on this laptop was accidentally deleted.
The downloadable Conexant hd audio on HP support page did not work because they only offer Vista and XP.
(No option to choose for Windows 7 because this laptop is quite a few years old.)
How to fix the problem?

You should probably get a conexant driver update show in windows update.
Also the Vista driver works fine on Windows 7 or at least it has for me on many dv2000 & 6000 series Notebooks (using one now).
If you have any issues just google your notebook model & audio driver for Windows 7 & you should find loads of possible help/solutions.

Benchmarks i have been seeing. Pls read...

I have been reading thru the posts. Alot of people giving 3dmark2001,2003,aquamark scores that semm very low to me.
With my p4 2.8 not overclocked at all and 2-3-3-7-1 ram in dual channel
I score 3dmark2001se 18400-18700
aquamark 3 44000-44800
3dmark2003 6000-6200
What am i missing here ? I am not overclocked with a p4 2.8 .
I am seeing people with amd 1mb 3400 and top noych memory posting scores that a newbie like me would laugh at . Should i send this stuff back or is this possible that such a high end chip and ramm scores alot slower then my mediocre setup.
Pls explain if you can or prove me wrong somehow. In my signature is what i have ordered ands its due to arrive friday. Should i send this back and wait or am i missing something and are people scoring high benchmarks. I havent seen any please feel free to enlighten me or tell me what,who , when, and why ?
I saw a post saying he scored 8000 in 3dmaark2001 se . I got that score with an old X2 caRD AND I THINK AMD TBIRD 875 OR SOMETHING(BEEN TOO LONG).
WHAT AM I MISSING HERE ? Sorry about the capslock i try to type as fast as i can thus i make a few typos and hit it by accident ..
I am confused about all the benchmarks i have been seeing, and all of the descent ones are way overclocked....
Talk to me. Im learning here. Id appreciate it. I just spent over 700 dollars and i dont want this if my p4 2.8 not overclocked at all kicks the c out of such a high end system i have ordered.
Confused............

a system like i just ordered would smoke chains and blow doors over what i have now not only in synthetic marks but games too..
I guess i am wrong....
Maybe i should stay with my intel setup. I have not been searching intels p4 3.0-3.4 benchmarks but im sure it would be better then my rig that i am using now.
hrm. Whats the newegg restocking fee omg .. I dont know what to do now....
I was thinking i would blow the door down on my system i have now.
neolsr875p
p4 2.8 not overclocked.
dual kit of ram(mediocre not performance 1)LOL
Either way im going to get something, but i am unsure now. I might just go and look up and read scores of people that have p4 3.2e 1mb.
I very much like what i have ordered(the graphics card is in my current system now). But not downing MSi or any board. I had the impression that a 3200 would smoke over my current system(at stock).
Thinking very hard atm about what to do . I dont know. I want benchmarks. i dont overclock cause i dont have the money to fokr out on parts every 5 months if something fries.I might mildly overclock ...... I am very confused atm thats all. Tired too .Crap il take a big hit if i return this stuff but i guess im a dreamer and this is too good to be true maybe atm.

HP Officejet 6000 will not connect to new wireless modem.

I have Windows 8.1. My HP Officejet 6000 E609n wireless printer worked well, until the modem died and a new one was installed (new address). I need to know how to make it recognize the new network address. (Note: I tried to install the original setup software, but the CD would not run under Windows 8).
This question was solved.

Hard drive failure on Pavilion dv6-6000 laptop (LT069AV)

I posted this as a reply on another thread (xxx). Thought I might get a quicker response starting a new question.
Persistent BSODs and disk errors culminated in a "disk not found" error yesterday on my dv6-6000 laptop PC. Windows 7 Home, Intel i5 processor, 6GB RAM. I like the PC overall - nice screen and usually great performance. I look forward to getting it back online as it serves as my work as well as personal computer.
So, I need to replace my hard drive and reinstall the OS with a an HP recovery disc that I have yet to purchase (I can't find a recovery disk I produced myself after several moves), and then restore using my cloud backup solution.
The HP part number for the SATA hard drive is 621046-001 (this is a 640 GB volume). I noticed that a replacement for this drive is available at CPU medics for about $90. Would I be foolish to order a replacement, having just experienced a drive failure with this part? Should I look to other manufacturers and perhaps go with a 750 GB volume? Also, do I need to replace with a 7200 rpm drive? Is there any disadvantage if I went with a 5400 rpm HDD?
Any suggestions?

You have options when installing Windows 7 to create partitions, you could just select the complete space & install as one partion then once installed use windows disc partition manager to adjust it to you requirements.
Windows 7 can be loaded to a memory stick & the link provided includes a tool to make the bootable memory stick.
Plenty of step by step guides on installing windows can be found on google, it is quite easy but first time is always going be slower due to learning curve, if you like super simple then hp recovery discs could be worth the money dor you.
Link below is guide on installing Windows 7, useful as a rough guide on what involved.

The printer is a HP Officejet 6000 Wireless (E609n) and is connected via usb to a Windows 7 (64 bit) desktop and the laptop has Windows 7 (64 bit) loaded.
No changes were made that I'm aware of other than the usual Windows updates.
Server is offline is displayed next to the printer icon on the laptop when printing is attempted.
The wireless network test report shows no problems.
I have rebooted the desktop and printer with no success.
The laptop used to print wirelessly without a problem.

I am not sure the Officejet 6000 can have both the wireless and USB ports active at the same time. You could try disconnecting for the USB cable and then power cycling the printer and trying to connect wirelessly. If you have the desktop connected to a router that also provices wireless capability you could connect the desktop with the network connection.
One other thing you might consider is sharing the printer on your network from the desktop computer. Next on the laptop computer do the following: go to the Devices and Printers folder, Add a Printer, Local Printer, Create a Port, Local Port, \\Computername\Printername (use the actual share name for the computer and printer), OK, then select HP (not Hewlett-Packard) for the manufacturer and select the appropriate HP Officejet 6000 series model.

Error code 6000 while setting up Pixma MG 5420

Carefully unpackaged unit and installed print head,(have not installed ink cart) and print head went to extreme right of carriage and seems to be stuck in that position, don't see any type of release to move it back to the center. Have a 6000 error code, have checked everywhere for a scrape of loose paper or tape, but everything looks clean and clear inside, in back and underneath the unit.
