Hard disks CT no not matching for replacement.

I bought HP pavilion g6 2016tx laptop from HP authorized dealer and after 1 year I face hang issue regarding hard disk. I admitted laptop in service center in pune. They said the CT no. Of your laptop hard disk is not matching. So you need to buy new hard disk. So here there is faulty product they producing and telling customer to pay for new HD. From 1 month my laptop is in service centre waiting for reply from allegation report... now too much frustrated by hp.. now my trust is reducing on hp...

Hard Disk - (3F0) BootDevice not found" Error Message

Sounds like the hard drive has failed and will need to be replaced. If you are still in warranty HP will send a replacement. If not a retail laptop SATA hard drive can be used. Just be sure to get one of at least equal capacity as the original in order to use Recovery Discs. It can be larger, but not smaller capacity.For instance you have a 320GB hdd now so you could use a 500GB hdd but not a 250GB hdd.

Does 24/7 operation shorten hard disk life - or not?

Does 24/7 operation shorten (external) hard disk life
- or not?
That's a question that has been asked over the years so many times that by now you'd expect there to be a consensus on the right answer - but of course there isn't.
The answer comes down to whether or not the wear rate on the bearing is higher with steady-state constant running with continuous thrust forces and temperature, or with the varying thermal and pressure loading caused by spin up/spin down cycles. So much depends on small differences in materials and tolerances that it would probably be impossible to give an answer that is right for all drives in all situations.
What can be said is that in a purely theoretical sense, a bearing and thrust face capable of carrying the load of full speed, steady-state operation, will wear slower than the same bearing and thrust face subjected to varying loads and temperatures - conditions where not only is wear much higher, but patterns of wear more likely to cause the bearing to fail. But how these two conditions relate to each other is as much about the operating temperature in steady-state, the tolerance of the bearing/thrust face and the number of spin down/up cycles the drive would go through in what period of time.
I've got several system that run 24/7, including two PPC minis, both with Seagate drives. The older one is 26 months old and running perfectly. I've also got a G4 powermac with 3 internals which runs 24/7 and has done since it was new in late 1999. The original drive failed in 2001 and the replacement, along with the two others, has run constantly since with no problems. The original was a Quantum, the replacement was a Maxtor and the other two are Seagate. On my experience I'd say that constant running hasn't caused any sign of distress on these systems.
It has generally been my view that with competently designed components and systems, continuous steady state operation should result in lower mechanical wear and less risk of thermal stressing. If I had to make an educated guess, I'd say that the higher internal temperatures in the mini may render that a little more marginal than for larger systems, but that shouldn't impact on external drives unless poorly manufactured. I would also say that since laptops in general have no significant history of drive failures despite their far higher temperatures, there's more chance that you're the victim of bad luck that poor choice of operating regime!

"Hard Disk - (3F0) BootDevice not found" after removing Windows

Hi.
I own a ProBook 4530s that came with preinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium. I'm a long-time Linux user, so the first step I took after buying it was shrinking the OS partition and installing Arch Linux on the newly created free space. I have used the notebook in this setup for something like a year now, but since I rarely even boot to Windows, I decided to gain some free space by deleting them entirely. Using cfdisk, I deleted their partitions.
After a short time (about a day), I had the machine powered down, and I found some old labelless CD I wanted to inspect. I started the computed and inserted it into the drive. It was apparent it was a Windows XP installation CD, so I turned the computer off (before it finished the phase of loading drivers).
(It's likely that the previous paragraph is unrelated to the error message, because the installation shouldn't even touch the disk at that phase. I also don't reboot often, so I'm not sure whether did the computer boot between deleting the partition and booting the Windows XP CD.)
The next time I tried to boot the PC, I was greeted with "Hard Disk - (3F0) BootDevice not found". All HP diagnostics were OK, and when I instructed the GRUB on an Ubuntu live CD to boot into my hard drive, it booted normally.
I admit the BIOS might be somehow confused by the partition table I have, as it begins with a lot of free space and has no NTFS partitions, but I believe BIOSes shouldn't be dependent on the OS I run. So, I have a few questions:
Does the HP BIOS try to detect Windows, and does it do anything differently if it doesn't find Windows on the hard drive? I googled around, and didn't find anyone with experiences running just Linux on my notebook (just dual-booting...).
If it does, is there some way I could convince it to boot into the hard drive even through it doesn't have Windows on it?
Thanks.
This question was solved.

I see the same error but my situation still allows me to boot up but only with the secondary HDD in the DVD writer bay. For more details, please see an existing thread on http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware/Hard-Disk-3F0/m-p/1670523#M76013.
I am suspecting that it has something to do with BIOS not reading the MBR or something.

Creating a Master virtual hard disk and using the same for all other VM's

Hi,
We would like to create a master virtual hard disk and use the same for all other VM's. Can we do that ?
my requirements :
1) create 10 VM's
2) first create a master virtual hard disk with win OS and use the same to create the 10 VM's.
3) After creating the VM's change the HDD size.
              -- if i have created master virtual disk with 500GB , and use the same for creating a virtual machine. can we change the HDD size to 1TB ?
After creating the VM's ,i will change the system names and activate the windows accordingly.
Will there be any implications ,if we can/will do like this.
Thanks.

Error: The Boot Camp partition "/dev/disk0s3" used by Hard Disk 1 is not supported.

I installed Lion a couple of weeks ago, and had Parallels 5 installed, but it would no longer run. Unfortunately, I spent the money to upgrade to Parallels 6 prior to seeing the advice to get Lion to run with 5. Oh well. But now, it won't run with 6 either. What to do?
Here;s the error again:
The Boot Camp partition "/dev/disk0s3" used by Hard Disk 1 is not supported.

You should be able to do this using the Boot Camp Assistant app. There is an option to "Restore the startup disk to a single volume". That should eliminate the Boot Camp partition without harming your Mac OS partition. Even so, make sure you back up your Mac OS X partition data before you do this, just to be safe.

Apple Claiming my Battery is not eligible for replacement????

So I have a Macbook that I purchased back in 2007 (warranty expired in Feb 08)...anyway I only just realised last week that my battery had become deformed....so onto the web I treak to find that Apple was running a +"MacBook and MacBook Pro Battery Update"+ which as it reads in applicable to my situation.
link to the website - http://www.apple.com/au/support/macbook_macbookpro/batteryupdate/
Now while this update was posted back in october 2007 there is no date to state that is program has ended or that there is any cutoff date for claims. The site also clearly states +"you will receive a new battery, free of charge, even if your MacBook or MacBook Pro is out of warranty."+
So off to my local mac service centre in Newcastle where the helpful staff (who I have been dealing with for nearly 15 years) tell me that they suspect that Apple will replace it no problems....so here is the problem...the staff call me today to tell me that Apple have decided that it is not eligible for replacement...why?, the service centre was not told.
What I want to know is, why would Apple say it is not eligible when the website clearly states that it should be??
I am going to ring Apple tomorrow personally but was wondering if others had the same issue, if so what did you do ? and did it get resolved??
Cheers

+*What I want to know is, why would Apple say it is not eligible when the website clearly states that it should be??*+
It would actually appear that the website "clearly" states that it would not be eligible:
+*This program extends repair coverage on the battery for up to two years from the date of purchase of the computer for Intel Core Duo-based MacBook and MacBook Pro computers.*+
The program was also, as indicated, for the original Core Duo machines, not the later released Core 2 Duo machines. As your signature indicates you have a Core 2 machine, I expect that you would also not qualify under that section.
You indicated that your warranty expired in February of '08 which would mean it was purchased in February of '07. If the program extends the battery warranty for two years from the date of purchase, that extended coverage would expire in February '09.
While Apple certainly can choose to replace your battery if they wish, they are under no obligation to do so. Even if you were still within that period, there is no guarantee that the battery would be replaced as stated by:
+*An Apple technical support representative or an Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) will determine if the battery is eligible for replacement, free of charge.*+

Hard disk error, HDD not appearing in bios

My laptop HP Envy15 fails to load Windows and displays boot device not found. The HP UEFI diagnostics for hard disk failed the Short DST test with failure code U0EDBK-6Q66G1-MFGJXG-60U003. Does this mean I have to replace my hard drive? My laptop's product ID is E6G06PA#UUF and I have Win8 -64 installed on it upgarded to 8.1. 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,
Dr bilal ashiq

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.

Spare hard disk tray and rubber stops for X201

Hi
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad X201. Due to the nature of my work I am frequently required to boot up from a variety of operating systems. Recently, to protect integrity of the OSes, I moved out Ubuntu onto a spare HDD so now I have two hard disks - one that boots into Windows 7 and another that boots into Ubuntu. The problem is that if I connect the Ubuntu hard disk via USB for bootup, it is death slow and I have had instances where the hard disk developed bad sectors because the USB cable came loose and disconnected the drive. The only other option I am using currently is to manually swap the internal HDDs every time I need to change OSes. I was wondering if I can purchase a spare hard disk tray with its rubber mounts so that all I need to do is unscrew the hard disk bay cover (one screw) and swap the drives rather than have to unscrew the entire assembly and then screw it onto the other HDD repeatedly.
Could somebody please provide me with an FRU number for the entire SATA HDD assembly (minus the HDD itself of course but including the rubber rails).
Thanks
Sid

Disk Utility is not working for me.

I have had a nightmare trying to install a Boot Camp partition on my brand new 27" iMac with 3TB Fusion Drive and running 10.8.4.
When trying to use Boot Camp Assistant, it would start the partition, then not finish. I quit BCA, tried repairing both the partition and the disk, that didn't help either. So I went into Disk Utility to create a new partition with no file system on it, assuming I could just use Boot Camp Assistant to format it when the partition was created. It would start, but not finish. I tried Repairing the disk and the partition, neither helped.
So I booted with CMD+R, launched Disk Utility, and tried to create a 500GB empty partition. It started and just never quit, so I CMD+Q, got out of it, went back to Disk Utility, I found that I now have a 1.22TB empty partition and a 1.78TB Mac Partition. This is probably my own fault, I should have just let it run, but after 20 minutes, it wasn't moving.
I figured that would work okay, so I tried installing with BCA, but found it's looking for an HFS+ partition to resize and wouldn't work with an empty partition, so I figured I'd just format the empty partition as HFS+ and install with BCA. Unfortunately, I can't get Disk Utility to format the partition. I select the empty space, it puts a white block on it like normal titled Untitled 2, I select Mac OS Extended (Journaled), hit apply, something flashes very briefly over the "capacity" line, and then nothing happens. Hit revert and it shows up with the Macintosh HD partition and the empty partition. No matter what format I choose, nothing happens. If I try to exit, it tells me that changes have not been saved.
I'm trying to just extend the Mac partition, but the resizing option is not available. I can't drag it to cover the Free Space partition, I can't type in the Size to resize it by number, I can't do anything. I've tried to repair the disk and the partition, nothing happens. I can't reclaim the space no matter what I do.
At this point, all I want to do is recover the entire space of the hard drive for Mac OS. I'll try again with Boot Camp Assistant after Apple works the kinks out.
Any help would be appreciated.

The Boot Camp Assistant in 10.8.4 should be able to partition your 3TB+ drive so you can have Windows. If Disk Utility is not working then your disk is corrupt. Backup all your data using Time Machine. Erase the volume and restore from Time Machine backup. You can use the ‘OS X Recovery Disk Assistant’ (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1433). Open Recovery Disk Assistant and follow the on screen instructions to create a Recovery HD on the external drive. When the Recovery Disk Assistant completes, the partition will not be visible in the Finder. To access the external Recovery HD, connect the drive, then restart the computer and hold the Option key. Select Recovery HD from the Startup Manager. You would need to re-install Mountain Lion up to 10.8.4. Then ran Boot Camp Assistant and then install Windows. Once you have confirmed that Windows is running then open up Migration Assistant (in the utilities folder) and migrate your Time Machine backup back on to the hard drive.
