Originally shipped with a 250GB (7200RPM) SATA HDD.
You can replace it with any 2.5 in SATA HDD. My recommendation: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148904
You'll also need to get the HP Recovery Media kit to reinstall the OS: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4125...
If you're unable to order the kit from the website, you'll need to call HP and order it. Their 24x7 tech support number is 1-800-474-6836.

Hard Disk 1 Quick (303)

There are many cases of this HDD failure, but mine a little different and I can't find any information on it.
The computer was working fine and I wanted to reformat. (I reformat with USB not DVD) Upon booting from USB, it started and I chose language and hit install now. If you are familiar with Win7 Installation, you'll know that after hitting Install now it goes to screen that allows you to choose which partition to install on. But it never got to that screen. After click Install now it stayed on a screen that said "Setting up windows" and sat there for like 30 minutes so I decided to restart it.
Now on restart it wont even recognize the HDD or something. On a hard-drive test (F4 after hitting ESC) it keeps giving me:
Hard Disk 1 Quick (303)
Hard Disk 1 Full (303)
Hard Disk SMART Passed
I just did the etst again and now it says:
Hard Disk 1 Fault
Hard Disk 1 Fault
Hard Disk SMART Passed

Well, I'm sorry that you feel that way but failing hard drives do not get better. If it's less than a year old, you might check to see if you're still under warranty so that HP replaces the drive under yoru warranty terms.

Hard disk test failed-Hard disk 1 quick (303) for my HP mini 110-3700ca PC.

Operation system Windows 7 32-bit.
After a tragic accidental "bump" on the table (I didn't even think it's that serious..), the computer start to slow down significantly, and when I tried to restart it, it shows:
Windows Error Recovery
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
It recommend me to Launch Startup Repair, but since HP mini doesn't have a CD-Rom... It shows error status: 0xc0000225.
It's kind of obvious that the bumping might damaged the hard disk, so I tried to run hard disk check, and "hard disk 1 quick (303)" was all I got.
I've put a lot of files on my netbook, and I'm quite desperate to see it working again. Please help!!

Hi,
Well, that's very sad, could be due to physical damage too. Anyway, please do a HDD self test:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Keep tapping the F10 key when the HP logo appears. This will take you to Bios Setup Utility.
3. Select the Diagnostic tab.
4. Select the "hard drive self test" option and press enter to perform the test.
Note: This test takes at least 40 minutes (with luck)
Pass - The hard drive is not damaged, you can recover data.
Fail - the hard drive is damaged and may need to be replaced, no choice.

Cq57 error msg hard disk 1 quick 303

My start up memory test passes yet i get error msgs "hard disk 1 quick 303" and "hard disk 1 smart 301" . I ordered recovery disk since mine did not work yet they also do not work. The new installation stops at 23% and I get a pop up that states " Reducer copy file fails from D:\PRELOAD\Base.swm to: C:\RM\Image\Base.swm. Can any one help me or know if I must have a new hard drive?

Hi,
The 301 and 303 error codes would indicate that the Hard Drive is failing and needs to be replaced. This is also consistent with the recovery issue.
If 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.
If you are out of warranty and would like a guide on replacing the Hard Drive yourself, please let me know - include the full Model No. and Product No. of your cq57 series notebook - see Here for a further explanation.

Getting start up failed "hard disk 1 quick" (303) and a hard disk 1 fault.. windows 7 won't start.

Hi,
Recovery disc are not shipped with the notebook, but however HP provides an option to create a recovery disc when the sytsem is working fine.
Now that the HDD has failed you will have to purchase a set of recovery disc from HP assuming that the system is out of warranty. The below link has info to order the RCD.
http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/bph07143

Hi, Yes, the HDD has gone bad and you will have to replace the HDD.I would also suggest you to run the startup test by tapping F2 as soon as you power on the system.More details about the test http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01443317&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN Details on Troubleshooting http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01443371&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN You can buy one from a local store or also from http://partsurfer.hp.com (by using the product # of your notebook)

'hard disk 1 quick'

Hi, does 'hard disk 1 quick' mean my hard disk is broken? And what about the files on it, can they be recovered? Its the Elitebook 8730w

Hi,
It does look like either a Smart or Disk Self Test error - One possible way to try and retrieve your files from a non-booting drive is to follow the process detailed in the link below. The Ubuntu operating system CD you create can run from the CD alone ( ie it doesn't have to install on the Hard Drive ). When you've created the CD, follow the instructions and see if you can back up your existing files.

"hard disc 1 quick" (303)

I reloaded windows 7 and the os tries to start but just cycles from windows trying to open to a brief small command line screen to restart, over and over. When I do the start up test I get the message above. It says memory ok. I tried recovery because it took forever to get online then forever to load a page. Thanks

Hi,
If you are getting Hard Disc 1 Quick 303 then it is the hard drive. The hard drive have failed and you'll have to replace the hard drive with a new one..
Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7 and Windows Vista)
Note:
If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

G61-110SA Hard disk 1 full (305)

Hi My laptop (HP G61-110SA), which is now out of warranty, took a very slight knock and now it wont start up properly . It starts but just goes through to a screen with 2 options: "Launch StartupRepair (recommended)" or "Start Windows Normally" (which just goes through to a blue windows screen and doesn't progress further). If "Launch Startup Repair" is selected, it goes through a series of "HP Recovery Manager" screens but only allows me to select one option - "Open a Command Prompt" which is useless to me as I don't know what command to type! I have run the Diagnostic tests and have the following results:Hard Disk Smart - PassMemory Test - Pass Hard Disk 1 Full (305)Hard Disk 1 Quick (303) Does this mean I definitely need a new Hard Drive or is there anything else I can do? (there are no strange noises from the laptop when it is on). Any advice/info would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

Hi Marie, I think you should be able to use either option you mention. 1. If you wish to restore the Back-up Image you have, try the following procedure. If you don't already have one, use another PC to create a Windows 7 Rescue CD. Download the relevant ISO from the links below. Windows 7 32bit Windows 7 64bit You should use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. Once created, or if you already have this, insert the CD into the notebook and restart to boot from it. Select the Repair option. Now follow the guide on the following link starting at Method 3 to restore the Image to the new HDD. http://www.shivaranjan.com/2009/05/21/windows-7-how-to-restore-windows-7-partition-or-hard-disk-partitions-from-a-system-image/ 2. If for any reason this does not work, as long as your Mums notebook is the exact same Model and operating system as yours, her Recovery Discs should work for your notebook. Regards, DP-K

Mini 200-4200 - Hard Disk Error

Hello,
I have: HP Mini 200-4200, pr nr B3R47EA#ABU, System Board ID 338D, Win 7 (factory installed) ...what else.
I´m not very computer literate, first of all. And second, I´m in Nicaragua on a gap year - little resources around.
The Mini is under warranty, I bought it in Oct 2012, London, it´s been gradually slowing down, which I contributed to having maybe too much stuff on it.. Until, something happend few days ago. After turning on and thinking for few seconds, it makes a little "bing", and showes "Hard Disk Error", Please rund the Hard Disk Test in System Diagnostics.
When I do as it says, in a second (literally, with no thinking time), comes up:
Primary Hard Disk Self Test
Quick Test
Hard isk 1 Quick (303)
Primary Hard Disk Self Test
Full test
Hard disk 1 Full (305)
SMART check to Exit Testing
Hard Disk SMART Passed
So I press the Esc to exit and then comes up:
"Hard Disk Test" Failed.
Then I did the F10 tapping in the beginning (read in one advice post) to get to Bios:
I went to Diagnostics and pressed Primary Hard Disk Self Test. It doesn´t seem to do the test because in the same second as I press Enter, box comes with "Hard Disk 1 Quick (303)" , "ok", ...in the background I can see the Short Test Executing 0% Complete, Estimated time unknown...but I think it doesn´t do it at all. When I press the ok, nothing happens.
I´m not sure what to do. Or where is my nearest HP representative. Is there on in Managua? (or Esteli would be closer).
AND - is there a possibility to salvage any files?
Not sure if this is of any importance, when I go to the Diagnostics Log, the numbers that are listed there are 0303, 03F1, 0305. Repeating.
Please help to save my little Mini, it has been a good companion.
Thanks,
Maire

Thanks for the reply - I will call the local HP support (Nicaragua) tomorrow. And will post if stuff gets solved.
However - HOW CAN I SALVAGE THE INFO?
I´ve heard that warranty doesn´t cover that. But then again, if I ask a computer repairs place to do it, I risk the warranty? I´m not sure if HP allows to do it (in Lenovo the hard disk can be removed without trouble... I´m told...)
I also have additional Accidental Damage Protect Service w Pickup and Return...which I hastily did before travelling...and now I can´t remember what it covers besided "spilling the odd coffee cup" ....I can´t find any other terms and conditions other than the States version....
Any ideas how I can salvage the info?

Having startup prob. on my compaq laptop, failed start. up test with hard disk failure help?

I have a compaq presario, CQ70-120US , with windows vista
I haven't made any changes to it, I took it to my mothers over the holidays and it was working fine. Like an idiot, i was impatient during a shut down and did a hard kill cause wanted to turn back on to do something else. After the hard kill i turned back on and it went to black screen , then a blue screen with curser, then eventually gave an error box saying Loadkey failed 999.
so after trying the hitting f10 at startup and doing hard disk test (which failed)
memory test passed
then did f8 to start in safe mode and that ran almost all day with no success
last thing i tried was hitting f2 at startup and running the start up test, again memory test passed, then i get this
" startup test failed
hard disk 1 quick (303)
so not sure what to do at this point. i have no recovery disks but if need be i will order them, but wanted to know if this was fixable without doing that before i go that route.
This computer was given to me and within one week i messed it up. go figure
Please help if you can, thanks in advance to anyone who tries to help

Hi,
Please try last resource, do a HDD self test:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Keep tapping the F10 key when the HP logo appears. This will take you to Bios Setup Utility.

4. Select the "hard drive self test" option and press enter to perform the test.

Fail - the hard drive is damaged and may need to be replaced.

Hp Pavilion dv4 Notebook Hard Disk error

Everytime I attempt to boot up my laptop, I am greeted with: "Hard Disk Error, Please run the Hark Disk Test in System Diagnostics, Hard Disk 1 (3F1)" Upon running the Hard Disk test, Quick test returns "Hard Disk 1 Fault", and Full test returns Hard Disk 1 Fault, SMART check returns as passed. What happened? Do I need to buy a new laptop?
Edit: After pressing escape to exit, up at the top left it says: Hard Disk Test Failed, Gard Disk 1 Quick (303), Hard Disk 1 Full (305)

No you just need to replace the hard drive. Can we have the full model number? A good hard drive is going to cost $75 or so and a super fast solid state drive will be maybe $150+. You might still be able to migrate/clone data. You might also look at the C:\ drive in My Computer or This PC and see how full it is. If you delete some stuff off it might take away the error message although doubtful.

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your quicky reply.
Please note that there is no effect on the Pre-boot sequence of the laptop, the laptop boots up properly; i would also like to inform you that when i check the BIOS configuration, i was able to detect my HDD, the HDD is identified.
However, when i click on start windows, the windows boot sequence starts and after some time a wallpaper appears and the mouse pointer keeps on revolving for a quite a time. After that i receive a message as:
Status : 0xC00000e9
Info: An Unexpected I/O error has occured.
Moreover i get a message as "Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer"
"This error can be caused by unplugging a removable storage device such as an external USB drive while the device is in use, or by faulty hardware such as an hard drive or CD-ROM drive that is failing". Make sure any removable storage is properly connected and then restart your computer."
Kindly let me know what can be done, so that i can recover that data.

All this started to happen when I copied recovery drive to USB and deleted recovery drive on my machine to increase space..... my machine started freezing and crashed...... now even chkdsk, recovery or reset with new partition is not working.....though if back up usb is connected and if I go to restore system through UEFI I can see all Partitions........ where is problem and what should i do???? plz plz plz help...
Thanks,

Hi,
The above failure ID refers to Hard Disk 1 Quick Test Failure. You have to replace the Hard disk drive. If the laptop is under warranty, then you can contact HP Support to get the Hard disk drive replaced. Also you have to reinstall the Operating System on the new Hard disk drive using recovery disk.
