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.
Regards.

Pavilion G6-1203ey: Hard Disk Test FAILED, but can still boot into Windows

Hello
I have HP Pavilion G6-1203ey laptop. After installing Windows (7 ultimate, 64 bit) and some drivers on it and after several restarts, it hanged at Windows logo and I had to turn it off with power button. Then after turning it on, it gave me the option to repair problems which are preventing it from starting up, from there I let it to restore the computer to an earlier restore point and after a restart the Windows was working again. After that I decided to do a hard disk check just in case.
The Hard Disk Self Test ended up with a message: Hard Disk 1 Full (305). Then I installed HP Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Support Environment and did hard disk from there. I chose the comprehensive test from the options, but it finished fairly quickly (in ~1 minute) with the following output:
Testing Drive: 1
Hard Disk SMART Check : PASSED
Hard Disk Short DST : FAILED
FAILURE ID : PTTU22-5T774L-MFPV4K-60S003
PRODUCT ID : A5Q15EA#B1R
Hard Disk 1
Hard Disk Test : FAILED
A bit more background:
The previous owner told me that the original HDD was faulty which is why he replaced it with this one last year. He said that other than that there has been no problems with the laptop. The Windows is working right now and this HDD is quite new so I would not have expected any problems with it, but the results from the previously mentioned tests seem troubling. Is there a reason to worry?
Thanks

Hi Alnuir,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I read your post and looked into the failure ID that you posted regarding the failed Short DST test. That error is indicating a hard disk failure meaning that if it hasn't failed it might soon. If everything is working I would considering backing up your data on a regular basis just to be safe. You could have a local technician take a look at the hard drive to see how close it is to full failure.

Hard disk test failed on HP Pavillion dv6-1100eo notebook

I have a HP Pavilion dv6-1100eo Entertainment Notebook PC (P/N: NR597EA) with Vista 32-bit. Unfortunately no warranty left in and general I have been very happy with this notebook.
However suddenly Wondows would not start up - and it did not even find Startup Recovery partition on the harddisk. As I wasn't sure if this Startup Recovery was on hard disk or not - I ordered System Recovery DVDs for this Scandinavian language version.
These disks did not work - so I figured I have probably not done my homework before ordering those disks.
Then I ran system Diagnostics (even if I have a old BIOS version F.03). On the diagnositics - both Quick and Full Hard disk test failed during the first 1% of the scan.
Is there anything that can be done - or is the only option new hard disk? In case - what hard disk is recommended that is not too expensive - as I don't want to invest too much into a soon 3 year old notebook.
I recently bougth an external harddisk (1 TB) based on USB connection. Can that be used bypassing internal HD. In this way I would increase HD capacity and not invest anymore into this notebook - since I already have the recovery DVDs
It is probably only a time question before I will buy a new HP notebook - that is why I don't want any long permanent fix of this problem.
This question was solved.

Hi,
Sorry to say, but you won't be able to install or boot Vista from the external HDD, so if you need to get the notebook working, you're going to have to replace the internal drive.
The drive on the link below is an example of one that would be fine for your notebook.
500Gb Hard Drive
The procedure to replace the Hard Drive starts on Page 57 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.
Once done, simply use your Recovery DVDs to reinstall the Operating System on the new drive.

DV7-1220ed BIOS disk test fails in full test (hangs). Is this the disk or the controller?

Hi,
my DV7-1220ed started failing with BSOD after I used CCcleaner software.
I decided to reinstall the PC, but still there seems to be a problem with the disk.
Sometimes it stalls, and then I can see the disk light on almost constantly and you can hear it spin in a repeating pattern.
BIOS disk test is OK in Quick test, but hangs in Full test at 0%. Can't stop it with ESC key, have to poff/pon.
Any idea if this is the disk or the controller?
Can I move the disk to the free slot to see if this is a controller problem?
Any help would be appreciated.
I also used the 'mstd' utility to send info.
Thanks,
Jaap

Hi,
If you have created your set of Recovery DVDs, these will automatically format the HDD as part of the installation process as well as re-creating all the partitions that were originally on your notebook.

I had the same problem. And to think I actually HESITATED at installing the update. Oh wait... this happened AFTER the update. Funny how often that happens, eh? But I digress...
Anyway, I had two errors- initially the iPod stated my music library was somewhere else, and did I want to sync to that library. When I said yes, it reverted then to the "attempting to copy to disk"error. Further, iTunes showed that my iPod on the iTunes was EMPTY. However, my actual iPod hadn't lost any data. Confused yet? So am I.
*Last ditch effort- I went back in, and updated all my permissions, did a permission repair and then a permission verify.
* Also did a disk verify on the iPod to make sure it wasn't sick.
*I also drug a new song into my library.
*Changed from the USB plugin to the firewire. (Although I did this earlier in the day, and hadn't seen a noticeble change)
* Opened the bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. (should have done that a few hours ago)
When my first pop up asked about did I want to sync to the mystery persons library, I said yes. (At the worst, I have all my music and could reimport all 30G of it, if necessary.) And immediately, the sync began, and began appropriately. However, it IS re-syncing every single song I had on the iPod to begin with.
I suspect something nasty happened in the iTunes update, ever since the intel thing happened, the updates have been a bit sketchy. I really like Apple products, but I've gone through 3 iPods due to software meltdowns, and it's a bit frustrating.
Good luck!

Hard Disk Test Failed

I have a laptop G42 (Product # XB056UA#ABA) with Windows 7 64-bit. When I ran the start up test and hard drive test I received an error (Failure ID 9XVL02-55965Q-XD003G-60WS03). It says that the SMART Check passed but the Short DST failed. When I try to load windows I get past the starting windows screen but then it stops after that at the blue screen with the cursor showing but nothing else. I noticed on other forums that say to purchase the system recovery discs which I just received, however when I try them I get the same screen. I'm pretty sure the hard drive is dead, but my laptop is out of warranty. Is there something else I need to try to make the system recovery discs work? I changed the boot order so that the cd-rom is first but that didn't seem to help. If I do need to replace the hard drive is there any advice or information you can give me? Thank you!

Hi,
Failing the short Disk Self Test would indicate that the HDD has indeed failed and will need to be replaced.
The drive on the link below is an example of one that would be fine for your notebook.

Hard drive test failed

Hi
My HP Pavilion G6 is showing HARD DISK IMMINENT FAILURE on startup and asks to go in diagnostics.
When I run any test it shows SMART CHECK - FAILED.
Failure ID: OTSE1F-5LC77B-XD015G-60FV03
Product ID: QA498EA#ABV
HARD DISK 1.
However, when i choose to continue startup, it loads Windows but runs very irritatingly slow.
How can i get it fixed?

Hi,
The 24 character error code for the Smart failure would indicate that the Hard Drive is failing and needs to be replaced. This is also consistent with the slow loading/performance issues you describe.
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.

Attempting to copy to the disk Ipod failed. the disk could not be read from

Keep getting error message Attempting to copy to the disk.....Ipod failed. The disk could not be read from or written to. I can copy to Ipod from my laptop however, can not sync with my G-4 tower. I keep my library on an external HD Lacie d2. I've tried all the possibilities from the support page to no avail.. Need help... When error refers to disk is it referring to my external HD

Hi c2xist,
And you did follow all of the suggestions from this article?:

Disk Erase Failed. Disk cannot be dismounted on Mac Mini Server

Ok, this is a bit crazy for me anyway. I have a Mac Mini Server running Snow. My Server HD failed but fortunately my Mac HD was being used as an image backup and I can boot from it fine and runs perfect. The bad disk was not showing in Disk Utility at all. So I bought a new one and replaced it.
Now Disk Utility sees it but if I try to format it or partition it, I get the message the it cannot be dismounted. I tried re-setting NVRam (Optio+CMD+P+R) but n luck.
I have my original Snow DVD but I have no external DVD. I have a MacBook Pro Mountain Lion.
How do I erase my new disk so I can copy everything back?
Any help is appreciate it.

Although thats an excellent suggestion but in the end I attached an old usb backup drive and restarted and held down the Option key to select it to boot. Then it went into Disk Utility, and I reimaged the 2nd drive to the new drive. After the reimage I restarted and held down the Option key to allow me to select the first drive.
The only issue I had was to rename my boot drive back to Server HD, which I did by using Finder and one more restart.
I guess the rule is you cannot unmount the boot original boot drive unless you boot from an external drive.
All is good now and thank you.

Attempting to copy the disk "IPOD" failed. Disk could not be read from or written to?

So.....
I own a 5th genereation Ipod Nano. On a windows PC.
On my iTunes all my music and playlists exist. On my actual Ipod it only shows 3/4 of my music (for some reason it wont sync the rest). It also shows zero playlists on my Ipod. I now cant sync new music onto the device, despite it showing up on my library. Also I've noticed that for some reason the artwork is messed up e.g. the artwork for Aerosmith is now showing up when a Thin Lizzy song plays :S
I have tried restoring to to factory setting but got the same error message!
Please please please can somebody help me fix it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you worked through the suggestions in this Apple support document yet?

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.

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.
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.
Pass - The hard drive is not damaged.
Fail - the hard drive is damaged and may need to be replaced.
