Hard Drive and Startup Failure Code(Model: G61-429WM) Notebook

Windows won't start because it is missing a .DLL file. I ran the system diagnostic tests( Hard Drive and Startup) they both gave me the same failure code(UOC7HA-52H74A-XD0021-60X603). When I turn the computer on, it tells me to insert the system disc which I don't have. Please advice. Thank you!

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 if you have a 500GB hdd you could use a 750GB hdd but not a 320GB hdd.

Hard drive and screen failures

Hello all, thank you for any help! I have to do this on my phone, apologies for any errors!
I have an early 2011 macbook pro, purchased in the fall of 2011.
Last repair:
I had 3 year apple care, and had last taken it for repairs september 2014, for first not ejecting discs from optical drive, then losing touchpad sensory control, then starting to sometimes not booting and/or black screen. When I got it back they had replaced the logic board, hard drive, and screen and connections there were a few screws not flush on the base, and they said that was fine, and it needed to be like that for the touchpad to work.
Today, this morning, it was fine. I left it at 9 am, came back at noon and the screen was black, and only the least of fan sounds
I have
MBPro early 2011 OSX 10.7.4 Lion
Use surge protector 95% of the time (except rarely when out at a cafe)
'Symptoms':
Black screen
No boot sound on start up
No sounds of hard drive or disc/DVD drive
No indicator light bar at the front right corner
Sound of fans running on low
Light from charger indicator is green (full)
I tried:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295
A)Shift-control-option-power a handful of times, no change
B)Disconnected power cord, waited, reconnected
Combinations of these (power off, then A, B, power on; on, A, B, on; B, A, on; etc)
D) I tried command-R, no boot, no change
Results: only when I use method A, then the optical drive clicks/buzzes. Otherwise no change for any other attempts I listed ^. If I shut down and restart with the power button then as before, no sounds except low level fan sound.
I am quite disappointed, one reason I've enjoyed Apple products is in being able to use them for 5-10 years :/

Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the third-party developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, email the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.

External hard drive and startup drive are not showing on desktop

Hi, I just brought my macbook pro home from the apple store after having the hard drive replaced. It is not recognizing my Drobo in order to do a time machine backup. The Drobo was functioning perfectly well when I brought the computer in, so I can't imagine there's a problem with that. As well, my startup drive does not show on my desktop. Help please! I need my machine working for a presentation tomorrow. Many thanks.

If the drobo is powered on,
the cables are in completely (did you check it?)
drobo has power and is running
and you checked "show external drives on the desktop" in finder settings,
and the drobo is not shown there:
the status of the drobo is not choisen correct (it works as a raid x instead of raid y)
or one or more harddrive(s) inside is/are mad.

I had to replace my iMac due to hard drive and Logicboard failure, so I want to reinstall Windows 7 on a Boot Camp partition. Will there be a problem reactivating Windows 7 Home Premium?

I had to replace my iMac due to HDD and Logicboard failure, so I want to reinstall Windows 7 on Boot Camp partition. Will there be a problem reactivating Windows 7 Home Premium?

Hi,
should be no problem.
Best case is you can activate online via Internet.
Worst case is you have to call Microsoft and explain that it is the same computer after a mainboard failure.

Upgrading hard drive and RAM in my HP 2000-2C29WM Notebook

I would like to know if my HP Notebook Computer model # 2000-2C29WM can be upgraded with at least a 1tb hard disk drive. I would also like to know the pin count of the RAM I need to install (208 pin, 240 pin, etc). I know that I take DDR3 modules. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Also, I would like to know if the processor can be upgraded to any of the new AMD E processors. Thanks again!

Page 45 of this guide notes the RAM the system came with as PC3-12800 with HP part number 641369-001
According to this site, the 204 pin module they have is equivalent to the HP part matching 641369-001.
The notebook shouldn't have any issue as long as the HDD is not more than 1TB. It may work with a larger HDD, but I cannot say with 100% certainty.

Hard drive short DST failure

hard drive short DST failure code PGFTHS-00079L-60R303 DO i NEED TO REPLACE HARD DRIVE?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
Yes, the 24 character error code for the Disk Self Test ( DST) would indicate that the Hard Drive is failing and needs to be replaced.
If you are 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.

HT1553 I did the back up as instructed... Installed a larger hard drive and followed the restore instructions... Now I get a white screen with a folder icon and blinking question mark. When trying to set startup with new drive I get a bless tool error...

If you have installed a new hard drive , you will need to have formatted it in Disk Utility correctly. This may explain your problem.
Boot into your 10.6 Install disk again at the top menubar > Utilities > select Disk utility and in there select your new hard drive, and select the tab Erase and choose to make the format as Mac OS Extended Journaled. When that is finished look in the main window to make sure that the partition map scheme says GUID Partition Table.
Now go to the Restore tab and reinstall from your backup.

I had to replace my hard drive, and I don't have access to my sync code to get my bookmarks into my new browser. How do I get my sync code if I don't have the original email containing it?

Where do I get the specially assigned serial number????? I don't want to have to purchase anything since I already bought the CS2 and I don't need a newer version.
Follow the prompts at the link provided by Ned.
Everything's there including your new CS2 non-activation download file and your new non-activation serial number.
It's free for existing owners of CS and CS2. Nothing more to purchase.

Hard drive and logic board failure

Hi everyone,
we have been suffering from 4 dead hard drives and one logic board failure in 20-inch intel iMacs (~2007) recently and last month the logic board and hard drive of a 2010 27-inch iMac (just out of warranty) just died.
Are there any known issues with the iMacs that Apple fixes even outside the warranty?

Frank: I have a 5 month old 27" iMac and the logic board on it just died as well as I was getting all kinds of kerner errors. I have Apple Care and although the cost to replace the product was $800 I am not going to have to pay anything. I did talk to someone else who also had a logic board go bad on him but I doubt that you will be able to get it fixed without having to fork over $$$

External hard drives and Error Code -36

Just wanted to know if anyone knows what this error code means. I tried copying a bunch of video files about 600-700 mb to my USB external hard drive, and this error message popped up and said the disk could not be read or written to. I contacted the manufacturer of the hard drive and they said it was not a manufacturing fault, but an issue regarding the operating system.
Does anyone know why this might be? And also, does anyone know of anyway to get around it?
Thanks.

You can try DiskWarrior to repair the directory. If DW can't do it, you'll need to re-format the drive. I'd also suggest a zero out erase.
Steps for zeroing the drive Disk Utility:
1. Insert your Mac OS X CD-ROM disc or Restore DVD disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key until you see the spinning gear.
2. Once started up from CD or DVD, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.) 
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from disc to access Disk Utility.
3. Choose the entire disk (top icon).
4. Choose erase tab.
5. Click on "Security Options"
6. Choose "write zeros".
7. Erase
This will take a bit of time because the computer is physically writing zeros to each block.

No need to type in all caps - we HEAR you!
I would take a look at the internal drives offered by both Crucial (click the link "Internal Hard Drives Now Available") and OWC. I would stay away from Western Digital drives as they seem to have problems on a number of Mac models.
You can also shop for RAM at Crucial and OWC - just select the System Scanner tab at the Crucial website to find out which memory is right for your machine.
Good luck,

Re: My Macbook 2009 model was recently upgraded with a new hard drive and upgraded to Mountain Lion OS. I am battling to retrieve all my photos that were ''saved'' in iCloud. Can someone help?

If you are trying to recover photo stream photos, they are only held in iCloud for 30 days. All you would be able ro recover is photo stream photos from the last 30 days.
If you have an iOS device that still has the photo stream photos one it, you can save them to the camera roll by opening the my photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. Once in the camera roll, they can be imported to iPhoto on your Mac as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t use iCloud. There's an iCloud Support Community where everybody uses iCloud. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/icloud/icloud_on_my_mac
