H D Short DST Check

My husband purchased a HP model # 15-g019wm (Windows 8.1) for me in March of this year. One day it froze on me and when I rebooted the notebook- I got the following message: " Your PC could not start properly-A requied device isn't connected or can't be accessed." Error code:0Xc0000185. Then it gave me a choice to try again or hit F8 for start up settings or Esc for UEFI Firmware settings.
I was able to get into the System Diag. and the H D Smart check passed. But what it failed on was the H D Short DST Check
I got a failure ID:9G9k71-72Q77G-XD7V61-60SL03.
I have not made any changes to the notebook since I got it.
If someone could please help me. I would like to get this fixed.
I've tried getting thru to HP, but most of the time I am on hold for at least a half hour, before I give up.
Thank You
This question was solved.

Hi,
You're welcome
I don't work for HP, but I would have thought that any HP Service centre should be able to replace the HDD ( sometimes the replacement drive is shipped directly to you along with instructions on fitting ), however the representative you contact should be able to sort this out for you - post back if you run into any problems regarding this.
Best regards,

Hard Drive Short DST Check: Software Error

Hard Drive Short DST Check: Software Error appears while performing Hardrive Test in HP ENVY Sleekbook 6-1090ee. Please advice on how to resolve this error

Same issue here. Only I've tride a brand new hard drive and get the same results. Within seconds of power on, it shuts off hard. Sometimes the backlight comes on and it gets to the HP logo, then bam - out go the lights! I can go into the BIOS and stay there a long time. I run all the diags and make changes. Once, it actually stayed on and booted up. I downloaded the latest BIOS update, flashed it, and rebooted. It didn't help. Also, tried to boot to a bootable Windows 8 thumb drive. Same results, shuts down after 3 seconds. Tried many times to boot to external USB CD/DVD drive, never succeeded. The only error any diag reported was Hard Drive Optimized DST Check: Software Error. The fan spins at almost top speed but not immediately; it takes about two seconds after power on for it to start. I don't know, but that seems to be a clue. The only time I had a successful boot, the fan didn't engage at top speed, but a few notches slower.

Notebook caught in infinite loop, then gives a Hard Drive Short DST check error in Bios

My laptop shut off unexpectedly last week. It got caught in an infinite loop when trying to restart. I was able to access bios and run a system check. I received Failure ID Q0821A-7017lt-xd7wwk-60xx03. I cannot get the computer to start. Please advise.

1. This is a hardware issue and the Hard Drive is faulty
2. You cannot recover this failure ID unless you replace the Hard drive
Detailed Explanation:
Whenever you get a message stating that the Short DST Check error with 24 Digit Failure ID "Q0821A-7017LT-XD7WWK-60XX03" that indicates that the Hard Disk Drive requires a replacement to resolve the issue
Could be due to Application or driver conflicts, virus issues, file corruptions due to incompatible applications, improper shutdowns, update failures due to conflicts, sudden power surges, if notebook is dropped etc..
HP will provide a replacement Hard Disk Drive if the Notebook warranty is Active, If not you need buy a SATA Hard Disk Drive from a retail shop nearby
Please make sure you are getting at least equal capacity as the original one in order to use Recovery Disks. If you need you can buy a larger, but not smaller capacity Hard Disk Drive. For example if you have a 500GB Hard Disk Drive you can upgrade it to 750GB Hard Disk Drive but not 320GB Hard Disk Drive
Please try the below shown troubleshooting steps once:
Step 01. Remove the battery and unplug the AC/Power Adapter
Step 02. Press and hold the Power button for more than 30 Seconds
Step 03. Plug in the AC/Power Adapter (leave the Battery out for now)
Step 04. Press the Power button and check if the Unit works normal
If the above mentioned steps does not help, then you can try reseating the Hard Drive on your Notebook
If the issue persists again please Contact HP if your HP Notebook is under warranty, HP would replace the Hard Disk Drive and provide you a Recovery media to restore factory operating system after replacement (if you've not yet created Recovery Discs/USB Media)
Note: Back up all the personal data to an external drive if it's possible. Otherwise you could connect the failed HDD via SATA to USB adapter with another PC or same PC after replacement of HDD & re-installation of OS and try copying /recovering the files.

Hard drive short dst check failed

First of ask On starting the system, it was taking much longer time than usual.. Then after logging in it showed only a blank black screen with white mouse pointer.. had to force shut down (shut down also took longer time).. on starting went to safe mode and ran extensive system check.. HARD DRIVE SMART CHECK PASSED but HARD DRIVE SHORT DST CHECK FAILED...I have the recovery discs and the notebook is under warranty.. Please suggest the best possible solution..

Well if it is under warranty I would call HP in your country and tell them the failure code. I cannot promise anything as I do not work for HP but as I understand it they will send you a replacement hard drive. They may charge your credit card and then refund when you send the old one back to them. Just run the recovery disks on the new one. If you can still boot to Windows do a Windows Backup to thumb or other external drive so you can save your documents, music, etc before you replace the drive and then just restore the files to the new drive.

Hard disk Short DST: Failed, HP Pavilion g6-2213so

We own a notebook HP Pavillion g6-2213so, windows 8 and is about 5-6 months old still on waranty.
Yesterday the screen just went blank, but i thought it wasprobably hibernating or something.
Now when i try to boot it, the message it gives is wait automatic system recovery.
But since it did this for to long i tried a system check using the start up test and this is what it showed me;
Processor check : passed
Memeory test: passed

Just to note, i mid may this laptop developed a hard disk problem and we have just recently recieved a new hard disk from The HP support team on our waranty, so this hard disk is barely a month old and this is happening, ineed your help HP.
Thanks

Try everything on this list first.
If no success, then Contact HP.
The hard disk is an item that can be replaced by the owner. The hard disk is covered under warranty and will be sent at no cost to you.
Locate your recovery disk set or usb recovery media so you will have it ready to use when the new hard disk arrives. You will need it to perform a factory image recovery that will return your notebook to the state it was in when delivered.
If you did not create recovery media you will have to purchase a set from HP or an HP partner.

Hard drive Short DST and Long DST failure

Black screen on start-up. Ran diagnostics and it failed the Short DST check with error code: 9GFF8M-0007MV-9VV6LI-60QT03. Failed the Long DST check with error code: 9GFF8M-0007MV-9VV6LI-618303. Is there any hope?

Hi,
Sadly to say: Most of the time the 24 char failure id indicates the HDD is failing and need to be replaced. Is it still under warranry ? If Yes, please call HP for a replacement.

Hard drive failure message, and Short DST fail

Hello, and thanks
alright, this is the first time i have had this issue.
only thing on the computer that was changed recently was a windows update yesterday, it came up automatically, shut the computer down, and restarted automatically. Java has wanted to update for a couple days
if its worth anything, the error came up when i was watching instant streaming on netflix.
half a year old (maybe) Pavilion dm1
windows 7 64 bit
AMD E-350 precessor
product ID 00359-OEM-8992687-00010
gave me a warning message that hard disk drive failure was eminant, and adviced me to back up everything. computer seems to be functioning normal other than the error/warning message.
when i restarted the computer and ran the test that comes up i ended up with this, it says it may take over an hour, but this comes up after about a minute.
testing drive : 1
SMART Check: Passed
Short DST: Failed
Failure ID: 9LNF2M-5K55RT-MFH14J-60WA03
Product ID: XY961UA#ABA
Hard Disk 1
not sure where to go from here with it.
only other thing i have had happen with it is video driver crashes when i have a stale youtube video left in a tab. i assume that is unrelated, and i just trained myself to avoid that.
thanks! i appreciate the help.

Hello Frederic45.
You need to replace your hard drive. You should be able to purchase the parts on the notebook's HP Parts Surfer Page.
Had you previously created any Recovery Media such as a thumbdrive? Without this you'll be unable to reinstall the operating system when you replace your hard drive. You'll need to contact HP Support in order to get one of these kits. The number for US/Canadian customers is 1-800-474-6836. If you're in another part of the world you'll need to visit HP Support Worldwide to get your region's contact information.

Hi,
The 24 character error code for the short Disk Self Test ( DST ) would indicate that the Hard Drive is failing and needs to be replaced. This is also consistent with the 'freezing' issue you mention.
As your notebook is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange to have the drive replaced - you can check your warranty status Here.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.

HP Pavilion g6-2230ew Start-Up Test and Hard Disk Short DST: Failed

Hello community,
As you can see, my notebook model is HP Pavilion g6-2230ew.
I bought it one year ago, and it keeps freezing and hangs for about few months.
I've searched what i could do and I did a Start-Up Test to check if its the hard disk problem.
The result was that everything passed, but hard disk short DST failed.
I saw replies for similiar problem with other HP notebooks and solution was a new hard disk.
My warranty is still actual, but I want to ask if there is any other solution than exchanging my hard disk, and if that's what I should do - how long I would have to wait for such service.
Looking for reply.

Well the hard drive has to be replaced and it sounds like it is overdue. The ordinary means to do that under warranty is to send the laptop to a Service Center. We have heard that, sometimes, when the moon is full and the Call Center rep is in a good mood, they will send you a hard drive, charge your credit card 2 or 3 times what it is worth at retail and refund when you return the defective drive. But that is purely a matter of grace and they do not have to do that. Turn around time varies all over the map from 3 working days to a couple weeks or more and there is no way to predict. A hard drive replacement should fall at the low end of that range since they should always have hard drives for replacement and it is a very easy fix.
On hard drive replacement under warranty, given that a new hard drive is well less than $100, I might be tempted not to lose 4 or 5 days' use of my laptop and come out of pocket myself but that's me and your cost/benefit analysis could be different and likely is.
They will return it to you restored to factory specs and will make no effort to preserve any of your data. When I do send them in for repair I always try to image the drive, if it is not too dead.

Pavilion dv6z-7000 hard disk short DST failed

I bought this HP Pavilion dv6z-7000 notebook (windows 7 64-bit) in the middle of September as a gift for my cousin who's in China. After I received my computer I found it was always not responding (e.g. When I clicked "my computer", it freezed and showed "not responding" for ~10min). As I was going back to China and there's no time to mail it back to HP for reparing, I reinstalled the system (windows 7 64bit) by myself and it looks fine for a couple of days. But when I came to China and was going to give it to my cousin, it showed the same problem again. Yesterday it got even worse -- it was unable to shut down or start windows.
When I did HP F1 start up tests this morning, each test (Start-up, Run-in, Tuneup, Hard Disk) failed at Hard Disk Short DST:
Failure ID: M4GG6W-67V68K-QFPK1F-60QG03,
Product ID: A3G60AV
I'm wondering whether HP has some service center in China that can repair it for free? Or do I need to bring it back to the US?

Hi
Incase you have a Global warranty you can get it fixed in China or else you can call HP Technical support and inform the same but the Part will be delivered only to US. The best for you will be to call HP Technical support and check the warranty and then decide.
Let us know how it goes!

A month ago I turned on my laptop and in the middle of my work the screen will go white and make an eerie sound constantly until I turned it off. A month later I turned my computer on and it went to a black screen and said: Error with Hard Disk. I shut my computer off, hopping it was just a glitch and the next day I turned it on it shut off without warning at the HP symbol when starting it up. Now I have to continusly turn it on like at least 20 times for me to get to the disk error reading so i quikly press F2 and did some tests.
I did a HARD DISK TEST and it is saying :
Testing Drive: 1
SMART Check: PASSED
Short DST: FAILED
FAILURE ID: MC44RW-OO07JT-XD003G-60U203
PRODUCT ID: XA505UA#ABC
