  • Pavilion Dv7 4165dx Hard drive failure and performanc​e issues?

    I have a pavilion dv7 4165dx notebook that was working great until a couple of months  when the performance of my machine started to decrease rapidly. I have performance issues with the machine because it takes 1 to 2 minutes to get from the welcome screen to the actual desktop and another 3 to 4 minutes for it to be ready to use. I already upgrade the memory from 4gb to 8gb but instead of going faster it goes slower and i also did a clean install of windows but it didn't help. Before i have problems it took maybe 30 to 50 seconds to go from the welcome screen to the actual desktop and 1 minute and 30 seconds to be ready to use and by the way i use soluto to tell me when the machine is ready for use.Then last week i notice that the headphone jack wasn't working properly so i contact hp and they told me to send them the laptop so i did, they replace the motherboard and they  send it back to me and i just got it today it got a little better but it still lags on the welcome screen and to open programs. I check the memory using memtest 86 and the memory it's fine, but i check the hard drive with HDD Regenerator 2011 and it show i have one delayed sector. Then i check on hd tune pro and it show me some WARNING on section Calibration retry count( as you can see on the picture below)  so my question is should i be worry and send it back to hp or what can i do to fix the problem i am having with this notebook?

    I have the same laptop and have had issues with it since the day i brought it home. I have had it for a year now and am now replacing the hard drive for the 3rd time. My guess would be its your hard drive because most of the issues you seem to be having ar the same ones ive been dealing with for a while. I can say I'm very mad about the quality of this laptop and am in the process of  battling with HP over this issue. If you have a chance go online and look at all the hard drive issues that this laptop has had and even look at the HP forums for this issue it will irritate you and make you wonder why this hasn't been fixed yet!

  • Hp pavilion dv7 on start up says primary hard disk 1 fault, won't go to windows

    Hp pavilion dv7
    windows 7
    message is hard disk 1 fault
    seemed after installinharp inter a software it started giving error messages when starting computer up several times. 

    Hi,
    Turn on power, press F10 to enter BIOS mode, Go to Diagnostics and run Hard Drive Test if any test fails you need to replace the part.
    The failure ID will either be a Smart or Disk Self Test failure - both would indicate that your Hard Drive is failing and will need to be replaced.
    If your notebook is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange to have the drive replaced.
    Let us know how it goes!

  • Pavilion dv7 - Can I add a second hard drive?

    I have an HP Pavilion dv7 2173cl laptop. I've read that I can add a second internal hard drive. Is that correct? If so, what is the max size that it will take? Any special type that I should buy?
    Thanks!
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    This model allows to use 2 HDD's. Max capacity is 500 GB.
    To install second drive you will need Hard Drive Caddy and Cable Connector. You may buy them here.
    Here is service documentation for your model. On page 46 you may check where you may install secondary hard drive.

  • HP Pavilion DV7 1120eo doesn't boot (Error Code 1 / CPU)

    Hi,
    I have a DV7 that doesn't want to boot.
    When I try to boot it up, the screen just stays black and the caps lock indicator blinks one time between each "pause", which should be an error code for broken CPU(?!).
    I asked the HP Support team on Twitter how reliable the error codes are, and according to them they should be reliable.
    So I repleaced the CPU with another one, but still the error code shows when I try to boot.
    I'm just wondering if you may know what could be wrong? Could the CPU socket itself be broken?
    I found a long hair laying in between the CPU and CPU socket, but I reckon that it can't be the problem, or else something would've gone wrong like 3 years ago - since it must have been there since the computer was manufactured.
    Anyway, I hope I can get some clarity or advice on things to try out.
    Best Regards
    Alexander

    Baking in the oven can work but it is a crude, temporary fix. Unless you have access to high tech diagnostic and repair tools, a bad motherboard is a bad motherboard and is a "replace only" item. There are services on the internet where shops with the tools will fix your motherboard and the cost is very reasonable if you can remove the motherboard yourself and just ship that, instead of the whole computer. We are talking in the range of $60US. Even if you have to send the board to the US, the cost is very competitive with a replacement board.  Here is a replacement board on eBay that ships worldwide from China:

  • Non system disk error or disk error when turned on

    I have a BIG problem with my laptop, it doesnt load my operating system! :dead:
    I have a 100GB hard drive in my laptop and it was working perfectly fine until a blue screen came up and turned my laptop off!! I turned it back on and it came up with a message saying: ''non-system disk or disk error; Replace and strike any key when ready'' Before that, I have the RAM of 256MB . The RAM themselves had a test and showed no problem at all. When I did go into bios, it didnt give me an option where my laptop hard drive could do a self test, when it should have. So i decided to buy a new hard drive which was 160GB seagate. I put it into my laptop and had my Windows XP CD ready to put into my CD drive to install. BUT...........the same message came up ''non-system disk or disk error; Replace and strike any key when ready'' and didnt read my CD. It keeps doing it now and doesn't read anything from the CD SOMEONE PLEASE...............HELP!!!..................!!!! Does anyone know what I am talking about? If so, please help. Thanks

    I kind of know but we really need to know what kind of laptop you are working on here. Seems like it is an old one with XP and 256 megs of RAM. 

  • Bootcamp: "can't partition the disk" error but disk space is not the issue

    Hi all - I'm attempting to install Windows via the BootCamp assistant on a new 27" iMac. When trying to partition the disk with BootCamp Assistant, I get the message:
    "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved. Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
    The iMac does have a single volume, and it is Journaled. In researching this online, it appears that the culprit is generally having too little disk space for Boot Camp Assistant to do its job. But in this case I have a new computer with a 2 TB drive and 1.4 GB of free space, and I'm trying to create only a 250 GB NTFS partition.
    I'm really not eager to delete my 2 TB drive and restore 600 GB from a Time Capsule backup unless it is absolutely necessary. Is there some other explanation for this or solution?

    I have solved the issue and wanted to follow back up to record the resolution. In my case, it turned out to be an error with the disk catalog record. While trying all available options, I decided to reboot my computer from the Snow Leopard installation disc and run Disk Utility. A "verify disk" test reported that the disk needed to be "repaired." After using "Repair Disk" and restarting, Boot Camp Assistant was able to partition the disk successfully.
    Thanks for the other suggestions - I think they will be useful for others.

  • HP Pavilion dv7-4269wm SMART Error and Recovery

    My hard drive recently crashed after receving SMART errors for over 6 months. I am planning on ordering a new hard drive to replace it. Thankfully I was able to backup my computer about 2 weeks ago so I dont think I lost anything important. My question is regarding the recovery discs from HP. Although I am from the US, I am in the Netherlands Antilles at the moment and am having a hard time contacting an HP office to mail me the recovery discs. If I install a new hard drive and install Windows on my computer, is it necessary to have the recovery discs to make sure all the drivers, etc. are working or will my computer still work properly without them?

    How are you planning to reinstall operating system?
    To confirm the fail, do the hard drive - quick & extensive test from BIOS - System Diagnostics by pressing ESC key or F10 as soon as you power on the laptop.
    If that fail & generate 24-character failure ID, is a hardware failure & replacement if the option left.
    You can use Recovery media only if you buy & install a new HDD of capacity 750gb or higher.
    For clean installation, that's not an issue.
    You can download & save all the latest version of the drivers (check the date & version number) setup/.exe files in to USB. Insert USB & DVD simultaneously and there'll be option for loading driver during process of installation, just select the USB from there & it'll automatically install the storage drivers from it.
    Later on after Windows installation, additional drivers could be installed from USB manually with a restart of notebook after each installation.

  • Disk Error during Disk Utility Repair Permissions

    I was wondering if anybody else has experience a Disk Utility Internal Error while repairing the permissions on their system disk. What did they do to correct this issue?
    A snapshot of the error can be viewed at:

    Thanks in advance.

    Tom
    I sympathise if you are on dialup! Here is the post you need (originally posted by Mac Fool):
    Just to catalogue the solutions listed above
    Here's what I did, and it worked fine.
    1) Move iTunes onto the Desktop.
    2) Run Disk Utility
    3) Go to HD>Library>Receipts and trash all iTunes .pkg files EXCEPT for iTunesX.pkg and iTunesPhoneDriver.pkg
    4) empty Trash.
    5) move iTune from Desktop back to 'Applications'.
    Hey presto. you should now be able to repair permissions again.

  • Disk Error - Bad Disk Message - Can't play DVD

    Yet another "disk won't play" issue.
    I'm using DSP 4.1.2 to create an HD DVD, from an uncompressed 1280x720 QT movie.
    The final encoded disk will play fine on a Mac, but not on either of two DVD players I've tried. I'm using Sony media.
    The disk contains a folder named HVDVD_TS,if that tells you anything.
    My preferences are set to HD DVD Standard, under the PROJECT tab.
    No menu is used, but the clip loops as intended. It plays automatically, too, just as I programmed FIRST PLAY. The DVD looks fantastic on a Mac G5.
    So, now I'm stuck. And I have to get several copies out of here QUICK.
    Any suggestions? One of the DVD players I tested on was a current Phillips brand, the other was a PlayStation II.
    Thanks so much.

    HD DVDs will play on HD DVD Players and NOT on SD or blu-ray players.

  • Hard Disk error on start up

    Hi,
    I have a hard disk error on start up of my HP Pavilion Dv7-5003tx. When I run Hard disk test it fails, error code 0G8421-50N63H-0G8421-60DC03.
    How do I resolve this?
    Regards
    John.

    Hi John,
    The error will either be a Smart or Disk Self Test failure - both would indicate that your Hard Drive is failing and will need 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.
    Regards,
    DP-K

  • 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.

  • Data recover from a hard drive error 301

    Can anyone advise me of how to recover data from a hard drive error 301.  I have a pavilion dv7-4177 and i received the hard drive error code 301 two weeks after the warranty expired. I back up my data so I though but when tried to reload that data on a new hard drive it would not take. The damage hard drive will not load the OS now even in safe mode. Is there any way to retrieve this data from that hard drive.

    Hi,
    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 ) and I've often found it to be successful in retrieving data even from a failing Hard Drive.  When you've created the CD, follow the instructions and see if you can back up your files.
