Envy dv6 notebook - Hard drive failure - How do I get windows 8 reloaded on my Notebook

Hard drive failed in the notebook / laptop. How do I get windows 8 back on the new drive? Hp told me they will not send or sell me recovery disks. WHat kind of crap is that?
Help!

Once one is out of warranty HP is not obligated to send recocovery media for free. Owners have a responsibility to create the recovery media shortly after removing their notebook during the inital product setup.
You can purhase the recovery media from HP here.
The BIOS does hold the product code for Windows 8, so that is a non issue.

It has always been very basic to always maintain abackup copy of your computer. Do you not have a backup copy?

If you have the media on an iDevice then you should be able to get most of your non-iTunes purchases back as well. See this post from forum regular Zevoneer for options.

Boot into Internet Recovery
If your Mac problem is a little less common — your hard drive has failed or you’ve installed a hard drive without OS X, for example — Internet Recovery takes over automatically. It downloads and starts Lion Recovery directly from Apple servers over a broadband Internet connection. And your Mac has access to the same Lion Recovery features online. Internet Recovery is built into every newly-released Mac starting with the Mac mini and MacBook Air.

A shared folder popped up on my hard drive. How do I get him deleted out of my shared file ?

A shared folder popped up in my hard drive. How do I get him out?

Try using the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option in iMovie. That will save the movie to the Movies folder on your hard drive and make it available in iDVD's media browser to drag into a menu window. If the movie contains chapters two entires will be created in the main menu: Play Movie and Scene Selection.

There is a question mark on my hard drive disk, how do I get rid of it.

There is a question mark on my hard drive disk, how do I get rid of it. I recently went to the genius bar in Albuquerque, NM and they restarted it and did a partition on it and what I needed was fixed but I still have a question mark on my start up disk.

There is no startup system on it. Or, you need to open Startup Disk preferences and select a startup disk. Or your startup disk lacks a name such as "Macintosh HD," for example.

HP Envy 7 interment hard drive failure on start up

Hello,
I have a HP Envy 7 with Windows 7. On start up, I get the "Interment Hard drive failure", I ran the hard drive test and the results were good. I didn't get an error message but the message comes up everytime I restart. Is there a way to turn the smart disk message off or should I get ready to purchase a new hard drive?

Hi
Can you help me with Product number & the complete model number off you unit. Please find the Link given Here how to find the details.
Most HP Notebook PCs have SMART (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology System) capable hard drives. SMART is firmware that resides on the hard drive and continuously monitors drive parameters such as performance and error rates. SMART uses a technology known as predictive failure analysis to tell you when a hard drive failure is imminent.
Common SMART errors are:Hard disk failure is imminent.
A hard drive in the system reports that it may fail.
Smart failure imminent, back up your data
Error 1720 Imminent Hard Drive Failure
HP Hardware Diagnostic errors that start with HD521
The use of SMART does not prevent all hard drive failures, but it can give you the opportunity to back up your personal files and replace the hard drive before it fails.
Let us know how it goes!

DM3 1035DX Hard Drive Failure.....Need to reload operating system on new HD but how?

I have a DM3-1035dx which had a hard drive failure. When you turn it on it starts booting up and then shuts off and restarts. I took out the HD and then got to the point where it asked for the operating system so I am pretty sure the HD is the problem. I can get into set up and change the boot sequence but what should I boot to? I don't have a floppy or CD drive although I would get a usb drive it it will work. I also don't have recovery disks just the windows product key? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Put the hard drive back in and go into the BIOS (press F10 when you see the HP splash screen on bootup) and navigate to the Diagnostics Tab, then select Memory and/or Hard Drive tests and see if either of those return an error.
If there is no error try a hard reset. You can do this by removing the battery and unplugging the AC Adapter. Then press and hold the power button on the laptop for about 30 seconds, then put the battery back in and plug in the AC Adapter and try turning it on again.

P745: Possible Bad Hard Drive. How do I get Toshiba Recovery Wizard on New HD?

Hey everyone last week my computer was behaving slouchy so I did a simple restart. When it restarted it took me to a screen which said loading "Windows files" then it took me to Startup Repair. Startup repair could not repair the issue and I did a few check disk scans and one of them said 4 sectors of the hard drive were bad. I used Toshiba recovery wizard and restored the computer to an out of box state.
I also installed ubuntu 12.04 as a dual boot option last night. Now fast forward to this morning and I am using Windows. After installing Toshiba driver updates the laptop is again behaving slouchy and refusing to load web pages. When I restart the computer after one to the driver updates I get an error about not being able to start windows and so I choose "Attempt to boot from last successful attempt" this works. However, something tells me that the bad sectors of the hard drive are to blame.
So I want to order this 1TB toshiba notebook hard drive and install in the P745. http://www.toshiba.com/us/accessories/Storage/Hard-Drive-Replacements-and-Upgrades/1TB/PH2100U-1I54
However, the hard drive will be blank and so I want it to have Windows 7 on it and the Toshiba recovery wizard which I find to be extremely useful.
How do I go about getting back Windows 7 on the new hard drive and the recovery partition on the new drive. Do I order the recovery usb from Toshiba? https://support.toshiba.com/repair?orderType=SFF
Then somehow this usb will assist me in transferring the contents of my current hard drive to the new one including Windows and Toshiba Recovery Wizard?
I would be grateful for any clarifications and assistance you can provide.
Thanks.

Post full model and operating system!
Your answer in general -
You should have the option to create recovery media from your Toshiba so you don't have to buy them.
Type in your search bar recovery and the recovery media creator or may be named something different should be there to make the 3 or 4 DVD's.
This will restore to out of box settings including the recovery partition. - IT DOES NOT BACKUP YOUR OTHER OPERATING SYSTEM or anything you have added since it was new.
During the recovery it will ask if you want to rescue your info or you can save your documents, pictures , etc manually before hand.
If you reformatted the drive and installed a stand alone version of windows 7 there will not be a recovery partition and you will have to order the recovery media, you can get it here in US : http://support.toshiba.com/recovery#media

Mail is GONE!! But must be on hard drive! HOW CAN I GET IT BACK?

I have OS X 10.3.9 running on an iBook, and I was trying to set up my Mail to go to Gmail. But I overwrote the information in Accounts for my old email server account, and now I seem to have lost ALL my messages! They must still be on my hard drive! How can I "see" them again??? Please help me, it's a LOT of messages!
Ojin

What does “I overwrote the information in Accounts” mean? What exactly did you do? More info, please.
Deleting a mail account (which i not the same as overwritting the account information) causes all your mail stored in that account’s mailboxes to be removed from the computer as well, and you you were warned that this would happen by an alert similar to this for Mail 2.x (I don’t know what the exact wording is in Mac OS X 10.3):
Remove Account
Are you sure you want to remove the <AccountType> account "<AccountName>"?
This will permanently delete the account setup information, mailboxes, and messages from your computer. Messages stored on the mail server will not be affected.For IMAP-type accounts, this is not a problem because mail is stored on the server. If you deleted a POP account, however, your mail has certainly been wiped out from the computer, not just moved somewhere.
To prevent that from happening, you should have moved your mail to custom “On My Mac” mailboxes instead of leaving it in the account’s mailboxes. Actually, using the account’s Inbox and Sent mailboxes for archiving purposes is a bad idea regardless — see Overstuffed mailbox is unexpectedly empty.
If the POP account was configured to leave the messages on the server for some time, setting up the account again would cause any messages still on the server to be downloaded again, just like for IMAP accounts, but this would only work for received mail that has not yet been removed from the server.
If the messages are not on the server and you don’t have a backup (which you should have made before doing something like that), you may try to salvage as many deleted mbox files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II or FileSalvage (the files to be recovered would be different in the case of Mail 2.x). Stop using your computer right now if you want to try that, as anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted files to be overwritten.

Fatal hard drive crash - how do I install windows on new Hd?

Hey...
So my lenovo twist hd completely crashed today, and I can't boot or do anything. He is making clicking noises. Bought a new SSD, but how do I get Windows back on my machine? It's not like we get an installation CD anymore. And no win 8 key sticker.
I don't want to pay for win 8 since I have already paid once. I'm out of warranty.

Hard drive failure - how to boot from replacement?

the hard drive in my Mac Mini has become unbootable - I've gone through all the options suggested in Apple support docs including trying to boot from install disk. I don't get a startup screen to select where to boot from, jus the gray spinning gear. I fear the drive is dead. It was preceeded by strange behavior of permissions. Most of what I read is advice on installing a replacement drive but copying info from the old. How does one create a new bootable drive? I'm thinking of replacing the hard drive with SSD. Thanks Rich

AHT (apple-hardware-test), at least on 10.9-era macs, seems to do *no* tests at all of the hard-driver or SSD. You have to use other testing methods, to run SMART long and short self-tests of SSD and HD as detailed below, and google is your friend.
=== Details ===
For AHT: Power-off. Hold-down "option" and "d" keys, and keep holding them down while you power on. After a minute or two it will boot Apple Hardware Test from internet, at least for 10.9-era hardware. Use a network cable if you can. With known-bad or missing hard-drives, the AHT still says "no problems found".
For example, I have had 3 new macs in 3 weeks that all have hard-drives that always report "read-failure" to SMART tests. The Apple Hardware Test apparently does NOT do any testing of hard-drive(s) at all. Not only did say "No problems found" with the bad-drive(s), if you remove the hard-drive completely it still reports "No problems found"! You may want to run some long SMART tests on hard-drive(s) weekly, even if they are brand new... the 3 that failed on me were different brands from different stores: all reported "read-failure" in around 30 hours. So I conclude that consumer-drives have very poor quality... in effect, the end-user is doing the QA tests by using the drive as apparently little QA goes on at factory. And/or the shipping folks are really throwing those things around hard.
To run SMART tests on a mac, you can "brew install smartmontools" and "brew install gsmartcontrol". Or if you are not a command-line person, you can get a 14-day trial of Drive-DX disk-health tester (looks like ja smartctl-gui-wrapper) from:
http://binaryfruit.com/drivedx They also have a links to a SMART-SAT driver that lets you run smart tests on almost any newer usb-enclosed HD or SSD. Nice
If mac won't boot at all from disk, you can rescue/recover by booting from usb or live-cd such as gparted-live-cd/usb (which boots most intel macs as it has the guid bootability):
http://www.ehow.com/how_8505863_boot-gparted-cd-mac.html
PartedMagic is really nice and boots every intel mac I've tried it on, but is no longer free. Right on desktop is "Disk Health" (which runs gsmartcontrol). Also has ddrescue, testdisk, photorec, etc. Sees HFS+ just fine.
