Hp Envy Dv7 Hard Drive Test

I have bought this Hp computer about 9 to 10 months ago and I have already got an issue with the computer. My computer is a Hp Envy Dv7. I tryed to start up my computer and it went extremely slow. I attempted to log into my account on my computer but nothing would work. I went to go check if any of my parts we failing which one of them is, the hard drive did not pass the "Hard Drive Short Dst Check". It gave me this failure Id: 9TWFTW-6B86R5-QFPK0K-60VU03
I can't log into my computer, I don't know how to fix this problem please help.

Hello, i'm owner of a HP Envy DV6 7280SL and, right now, i've encountered a problem with my hdd, it seem to be broken, is divided in two partitions, one containing a windows 7 system, and the other one with windows 8.
Until now, both partitions had working perfectly but, from this morning, the partition with windows 8 mounted dosen't work. After a check, with the hp application for testing the hardware, the result of the HDD test is : failed.
It report a failure id : 94LD51-6A06R5-QFPK0K-60TV03.
Anyway, if i use the other partition ( the one with windows 7 mounted ...) everything is working ... in fact right now i'm using my notebook to write to you this post.
I've read a lot of posts on this regards and most of them refer a problem that can be solved only changing the HDD.
Could i solve this problem in another way or the only way is to change the HDD ?
If the only solution is to change the HDD, i will buy an hdd that can improve the performance of my notebook, any suggestions on this regard ?
I've give it a look to this : http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=790
Could you suggest something else avoiding the SSD due to the high price that they have at the moment ?
Sorry for my english and thanks to anyone that will help me to solve this issue.
Massimiliano.

  • HT5622 My Ipod Classic shows a red circle with a cross in the middle. I've completed diagnostic tests which have popped up, however any HP/FW/Hard Drive tests freeze the ipod, as if the hard drive won't spin. What do I do?

    My Ipod Classic shows a red circle with a cross in the middle. I've completed diagnostic tests which have popped up, however any HP/FW/Hard Drive tests freeze the ipod, as if the hard drive won't spin. What do I do?
    After holding down the Select and Play/Pause button, I was able to restart the Ipod and then it brought me to a Diagnositc test. I have tried doing both the Mannual and Annual test on the ipod however in each test, the ipod freezes on different access tests. The HP (headphones) test, shows the headphones are detected, but then if it tries to play a song to make sure they work it freezes and goes back to the red cross. I have looked at various other questions regarding the FW cable, however I don't believe i have such a cabel. Then the Hard Drive test freezes up and I can hear a ticking noise coming from the drive but it doesnt seem to be spinning. Alongside these test issues, any computer cannot see the Ipod when plugged in (including itunes). Therefore some tests for the USB drive cannot be completed. I do not recall dropping it badly, though I have dropped it previously. Does all this mean there is damage to the drive? Should I instead take it to an apple store?
    Many Thanks

    The stats look fine. Try the DFU Restore method shown in Corrupt iPod classic. It may pay to disable any anti-virus software and use the staged transfer method to reload data, assuming you get that far.

  • I did a hard drive test and got this error code.. what does it mean?

    4MEM/4/40000000: 0x6a494c18

    You did the Apple Hardware Test (not "hard drive test"), I presume? That error suggests RAM.
    You can do the extended AHT for more, or try downloading and running Rember:

  • Software based hard drive tests?

    Is there a software based hard drive tester out there? I have no idea how to test my now 7 year old hard drive on my MDD,just wondering if there are software based solutions as well as hardware,and where to get them,thanks!

    Excellent,thank you,just one more question,can the power supply be tested the same way,with software?Or am I stuck using a power supply tester,which I dont currently have(a link to a decent one would be nice,if I cant do this with software,that is).Again thanks for this,as I totally forgot which ones were the best :)Oh,and BTW,japamac,I just joined the Quicksilver club(if one exists )and found your blog an excellent resource for deciding on which one to get,as well as which upgrade parts to use.Recieving one this week,with an Radion 9800Pro card.Alraedy have a Firmtec card and am using a 1TB Hitachi jupiter series hard drive.The Quicksilver is a DP 800,and I'm running Leopard.I for one just want to take this time to thank you for all the help you have been to me and everyone who loves their Power PC G4's!!

  • Laptop dropped - trying to run hard drive test in bios, but can't find

    CAn someone tell me how to run a hard drive test in bios - I am not seeing it in the menu at the initial screen after hitting F2. Is there a disk I need to insert?

    The BIOS doesn't provide a HD diagnostic. The BIOS is firmware and is limited to providing
    basic functions like recognizing devices on the buss or providing the user the ability to
    load software to the HD.

  • Opinions on Hard Drive Testing Software

    This will be a 2 part question, since I'm new to this forum.
    First, I own both a MBP and an iMac. The question I posted in the MBP section was this:
    --------START OF POST-------
    Hello friends!
    I came across the following link on hard drive test tools and was curious about the opinions people have for them, against them, or no opinion. Here's the link:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1544280
    I would caution to read really only the first post because it contains the information I'm interested in, and later on the discussion quickly turns into complaint session about "Mac Keeper" which I have absolutely no interest in replicating.
    In advance, I thank you for your input!
    ---------END OF POST---------
    The other question has to do with this forum. The question above isn't system specific since all Apple computers have a hard drive or SSD of some sort. Is there a way to post a question into all hardware related forums instead of doing what I've done above, which is copy and paste from a previous thread to the other?
    As before, in advance, I thank you for your input!

    He wants to test his hard drives because it's fun and entertaining!!!
    I've seen that list before. I think it's become somewhat of the DeFacto list of those types of tools on the web.
    I use Scannerz myself because I didn't see any point in paying $100 for some of the other tools when a new drive costs anywhere from $40-$70 (US) for a "normal" sized drive. If you use its cursory mode it can scan SSDs and to the best of my knowledge it's the only tool that's capable of presenting Fusion Drive's to the end user on both a component basis (ie the SSD and the hard drive individually) or as a single entity (ie the entire Fusion Drive as a single unit). At present I don't have an SSD because I've been reading too many stories about third party units being problematic, but I'm assuming (is that safe??) that this will change in the next year or two.
    Considering how differently SSDs handle data vs. a hard drive, I have to wonder how good some of the features of the more expensive tools will be in the long run. For example, right now if a file is erased on a traditional hard drive, the data isn't really gone until it's overwritten, it's just marked as free space. This allows "recovery tools" to recover data. On an SSD with garbage collection enabled, I would think this would more or less kill that option. And of course, with an SSD, defragmentation isn't needed at all.
    It's sort of interesting how somehow or other, Mac Keeper managed to make it's way into that thread. If I open up a weather web site, there's an ad for Mac Keeper telling me I need to clean my Mac. If I log into a newspaper, once again, there's Mac Keeper telling me to clean my Mac. Some guy does a post on a web about drive testing tools, and in one way or another Mac Keeper STILL manages to end up dominating it...although in this case not so favorably!

  • I cannot install, only hard drive test. please help!

    hi,
    my iBook G4 crashed about 2 months ago and I got a new harddrive but it came with no operating system. I borrowed a friend's disks but everytime I put in disk 1 it will only go to Hard Drive Test and I cannot make it go to a section where I can actually reinstall. I have tried pressing command, c, command and c, and nothing. every time it goes to the Hard Drive Test and I have already run it and I passed.
    the girl with the disks also has an iBook G4 and I do not understand what the problem is. she just bought it after I did.
    I bought my laptop in the US but I am currently in Denmark and could not get Apple to actually fix my laptop but there should be no problem.
    please help!

    heychristaay,
    As I asked in My Previous Reply;
    "What OS was installed on your iBook before you replaced the HD?
    Have you tried installing, using either the disks that shipped with the iBook, or a Full Retail Version of an OS, that you may have upgraded to? Your own disks?'
    If the borrowed disks, do not look Exactly like THESE, they will not work to install Panther 10.3.x.

  • HP Pavillion DV7 Hard Drive failure and replacement

    Hi all,
    As the title mentions, I have an HP Pavillion DV7, p/n: NB406AV. The SMART is showing an imminent hard drive failure. The primary hard disk quick test stops at 4% and shows a code "303" for hard disk 1. It also stops at 4% when doing a full HD scan.
    So, I'll be replacing the HD. I have no idea what to buy, and I plan on buying a non HP HD. Can anyone tell me the specs I should look for? I'd like to get the biggest GB HD that will be compatible as well. Thanks for your help!

    Hi,
    It usesSATA HDD. Some dv7 models use SATA II but many later models use SATA III. SATA III is backwrd compatible but more expensive. DV7 is a series of hundreds different models and you won't go wrong with SATA III drive. It can accept current generation HDD's. The following HHD is a good choice with a good price/performance ratio per Gb:
       http://www.seagate.com/au/en/internal-hard-drives/laptop-hard-drives/laptop-solid-state-hybrid-drive...
    You can use 1Tb on your machine. New HDD's are thinner but the screws will be lined up and should be strong enough to hold the HDD in place.
    Regards.

  • Hp pavilion dv7 hard drive issues

    I have an HP Pavillion dv7 Notebook PC(product number: XG834UA#ABA) that is currently displaying an "imminent failure" warning in the form of a SMART hard disk error (Hard Disk 301).
    I ran a Primary Hard Disk Self Test where it passed both Quick and Full test but failed the SMART check (again at Hard Disk 1 SMART 301).
    It isn't making any particularly strange noises (clicking etc.) and I guess it is also important to say that I am no longer under warranty.
    I have already backed up (and removed) my documents onto an external drive for safe measure.
    I am completely new to this type of thing so some words of advice as to what to do would be greatly appreciated. I live only 30 minutes away from the Atlanta HP Support Center but I'm not sure they will repair a laptop not under warranty, even if I have to pay a fee.
    Where would I begin fixing it? As a college student with online portions of class, I'm afraid of how this will affect my schooling and registration.
    The hard drive is a SAMSUNG HM641JI.

    I would replace the hard drive. That is a 640 gig 5400 rpm drive and you can get a bigger faster drive for a reasonable price.

    If the computer is still working well enough to boot into Windows you can do a complete system backup and recover all your data, settings, programs, etc onto the new drive or we can help you do a disk clone of the old drive to the new. 
    Since your laptop will actually hold two hard drives simultaneously you could even put the old drive in the secondary bay so you have a copy of all your old stuff right at hand.

  • Dv7 Hard Drive slowdown problem

    I have an HP dv7-1273cl laptop running Windows 7 and after about an hour of operation the hard drive slows to a crawl & then stops. The activity light stays lit and drive makes no noise. It recovers when I let it cool off. Is the hard drive shot?

    Hi,
    If the Hard Drive is starting to fail, I would strongly recommend backing-up all your personal files etc before trying the following procedure.
    Shut down the notebook.  Tap away at f10 as you start the notebook to enter the bios menu.  Under the Advanced or Diagnostic tab you should find the facility to run tests on both the Hard Drive and Memory.  Post back with the details of any error messages.
    If both the above tests pass, try the following.
    From the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'.  In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
    sfc /scannow                 ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
    Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter.
    Next, click the Start Menu, click Computer, left click Local Disc C once to highlight it, right click Local Disc C and select Properties.  Click the Tools tab and then click the button to 'Check the Drive for Errors'.  In the following window make sure both boxes are ticked and then click Start.  Agree to schedule the check at the next system restart and then restart the notebook - this process can take a couple of hours to complete before loading back into Windows.

  • Envy 14 - Hard Drive failure imminent

    I have an Envy 14-1110NR laptop and am getting a Hard Drive failure imminent message every time I boot up.  Having run the HP diagnostics, the hard drive check fails so I'm guessing I have to replace it.
    The hard drive is a Samsung HM640JJ which has gone obsolete.  Does anyone know what I need to do...?
    Thanks so much...

    Hi,
    The error message would indicate that the Hard Drive is failing and needs to be replaced.
    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.

  • 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.

  • PC- Doctor and hard drive test results

    I have a T61 that has not been logging  past the "sign-in" screen, so it's not exactly BSOD...
    I ran the PC Doctor diagnostic and my laptop "failed" 3 tests...
    Hard Drive: SMART extended self-test FAILED
    Hard Drive: Surface scan test FAILED
     also SMBIOS: SMBIOS: standards test FAILED
    I went thru the whole "start BIOS setup utility" and
    etc., etc, selected "hard drive" and pressed the F6 key to move to the first boot position.
    etc. I even went through the ThinkVantage process to go back to "original factory settings"
    but I still FAIL the 3 tests above, when I redo the testing in PC Doctor.
    Is my internal hard drive "fried" ??
    thanks for anyones help on this. I purchased this machine model 7658-CTO back in November 2007
    and the warranty is no longer in place.

    Go to Solution.

    your hdd is on the verge of dying, so before it does, this is what you should do.
    Burn yourself a set of recovery media, by going to start, program, thinkvantage, create recovery media. It should burn you 3 DVDs. 
    Also you may need to backup any files that may need, by using the rescue and recovery feature under thinkvantage program list. Make sure you backup the hdd content to an external source, like an large usb drive, usb dvd burner or burnable dvd discs.
    Now you would need to get a new hdd from somewhere (you don't need to buy it from Lenovo if you don't want), the hdd must be 2.5 inch form factor, 9.5 mm thick and have SATA connection. WD, Seagate, Hitachi, Samsung, Fujitsu all produce these drives up to 500 gig in size.
    After you bought the hdd, you would need to remove the hdd, there is a screw that you need to unscrew. Now take off the cover for the internal hdd bay. Pull on that black mylar pull tab on the hdd, to remove it from the drive bay.
    Remove the two rubber railings on both side of the hdd drive (anti shock). There four screw that holds the old hdd in the makeshift anti-static caddy, you would need a phillip screwdriver, after the screw is removed, replace the old hdd with the new one you bought. 
    After you have reinstalled the new hdd in the laptop, run the Recovery media discs (3 DVD) from startup discs and follow the on screen prompts. This should restore the recovery partition, and reinstall all your OS and drivers like when you first got the laptop. If you have also created a rescue and recovery backup, you can restore the laptop to the original condition, by choosing restore.

  • Failure code on hard drive test: 0qe575-54h6sd-xd003g-60r90

    I have a failure code on the hardware test of: Oqe575-54h6sd-xd003g-60r90 - is this a fatal error or is there some way to rebuild. Splashtop works, but windows 7 does not boot.

    Hi,
    Similar errors indicate that there is something wrong with the hard drive and needs to be replaced.
    I checked the failure ID but it said " Failure ID not in valid format  XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX"
    Because the Failure ID that you provided has 1 character missing at the last set. There should be 6 characters in each set and last one has only 5. If  you can find the missing number then i'll be able to decode the failure ID for you even though it is almost certain that the HDD needs to be replaced.
    Here is a link for more info about similar errors:

    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
