Laptop Harddisc not detected.

Hello,
My laptop HP pavilion g4-1020tx show a SHORT DST test failed. Its not in warranty. Tried to connect the hard disc to the desktop by USB port. It was detected for some time and then stopped. It could not be read. There is some data in the hard disc which need to be recovered. Is there any other option? Can that be got done from some where else. Please help.
Regards
SOH

Hi SOH,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. The error code for the short Disk Self Test ( DST ) would indicate that the Hard Drive is failing and needs to be replaced. How long were you getting the error?
Try removing the USB cord and restarting the computer. Once it is up and running then put in the USB cord.
If it opens you need to copy your files as the HDD is on its way out.
Please let me know.
Thanks.

I recently bought iPad 3 but iTunes on my Win XP laptop is not detecting the iPad and i am not able to transfer music to it. I tried again after downloading iTunes 10.6.1.7 and it said it's not compatible with the XP version.

I would recommend you try downloading iTunes for Windows 10.6.1 from this website for your XP based computer:

Laptop does not detect the new HDD

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen Gameday! I need help.
On my laptop broke down the hard drive. According to reports, a lot of bad sectors, SMART. Decided to put a new HDD. Laptop does not see the new hard drive. In the BOOT MENU new hard drive is not detected.
Old hard drive while still runs in the BOOT menu displays all 3 sections. On the new disk interface is similar to the interface connection on the old disk.
laptop model: 15-e 051 sr.
OS: Win 8
manufacturer of the old hard drive : Hitachi
new hard drive: seagate.
New hard drive on another system checked for operability.
Also, the laptop refused to work with other hard drives: Samsung, Hitachi.
I am sorry for your Books English. For transfers using Google translator.
I look forward to qualified support, despite the language barrier.
Sincerely Sqwosh.

Hi @sqwosh ,
Thank you for your query, I will do my utmost to assist you.
First I would like to let you know that the broken English is not a problem. I understand that Google translation can be a a little rough in the translations. We will work together and I am sure we will do fine!
I grasp that you are trying to replace the hard drive but it is not being recognized in the bios.
Here is a link to the HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide. please note page 57 for a list of supported hard drives. It will also provide information on removal and replacement of the hard drive.
You could also try this.
Once you have the hard installed and connected and you are at the bios screen, you will notice an option to restore defaults along the bottom. ( I believe it is F5) . This will cause it to scan for the hardware and hopefully find your new hard drive.
Please do not hesitate to respond if you require further assistance and good luck!

Is your device recognized by your computer? If yes, copy the pictures and videos as shown in this article:
Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
If it is not recognized, try this first: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Disable autosync in iTunes, right click on it in the device list and choose "transfer purchases" to copy apps and other media bought in iTunes to your new library.
Do the same again and choose "backup", to create a manual backup without syncing.
Since your device will be erased due to the new iTunes library during the first sync, you can use this backup afterwards to restore your settings and data.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer before you start, to be able to merge calendars and contacts.

Hp Pavillion touch screen laptop Harddisc not installed

Hey there, In the middle of watching netflix the other day, my computer decided to die. It stopped working, froze up and shut down. Upon restart, brings me to what seems like the BIOS screen, advising me to install an OS on my Harddisc but when I do a "quick check" or and "extensive" it says that the harddisc is not installed, which it wasnt doing yesterday... Im wondering if anyone can help, Im no good at this technology stuff, anyone else have this issue? I read up on HP Smart Protect too, could it have something to do with that? I might cry if I need a new hard drive.- Janelle

Hi there , Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome! This is a great site to get answers and ask questions. I would be happy to assist you. As there are many models of HP Notebooks, I would need the model number. (How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?). Also please respond with which Operating System you are running: Which Windows Operating System am I running? I understand from your post on the HP Support Forums, that you are receiving error messages in the BIOS. Is it possible for you to screenshot the exact error for me and attach it to a post? In the meantime I did find some troubleshooting documents for you to try. 1. HP Notebook PCs - Resolve Boot Device Not Found Error Message (Windows 8, 7).2. HP PCs - Hard Disk Error Displays before the Computer Starts.
Please re-post with the detailed results of troubleshooting, the exact error message, your Operating System, specific model, and any new information you received while troubleshooting.
Thanks.

Ipad 2 not detected in recovery mode on my ASUS Windows 7 laptop

I have had this issue on all my idevices since I got this laptop, so this isn't directly associated with the new update.
I can sync my idevices with itunes on my laptop without any issues, but every time I try to install an iOS update, when it get to the stage where it is "preparing to restore your device" or some such, the laptop installs a new device driver and then itunes just spins awhile until it finally spits out error 1601 and then the device is stuck on the screen where it prompts you to connect to itunes.
At this point itunes on my laptop will not detect the device. I can see it listed in my device manager and it claims the usb driver is working correctly, however it no longer makes the beeping sound when I plug or unplug the cable, though it does disappear and reappear in device manager, which indicates it recognizes ipad plugged in, but not in the same way.
I have tried all the advice on the apple website re: unintalling reinstalling itunes an all it's components, disabling antivrus, firewall and non essential services, removing usb devices etc to no avail.
If I take my device over to my parents 32 bit vista desktop it recognizes it, installs the driver and itunes recognizes an ipad in recovery mode and I was able to restore the software and update to the new iOS on that desktop, then had to bring it back to my laptop to restore the software from my last backup.
My first question is....when the new ios is being installed is it putting the device into recovery mode as part of the process or is it going into recovery mode because the process errors out? If it's the former, then my assumption is that the whole issue is that for some reason something on my laptop is stopping itunes from being able to recognize my ipad while in recovery mode. If the later, then ?
My second question is....is the problem the driver, the usb port or something else unique to the laptop? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, but if i let winows detect it after uninstalling it can't find a driver and i get the exclamation point. If i try to manually install per the apple instructions, it tells me that the driver file is not compatiable with my device. So either windows is somehow installing the wrong driver while device is in recovery or the comp isn't detecting what type of device it is properly or ?
I'm hoping maybe i can get the next os update over the cloud and this will become a non-issue, but having to go borrow a pc to update this thing gets really old as the laptop is my only computer, so any ideas would be appreciated.
Laptop is an ASUS ROG - not sure the exact model running 64 bit Windows 7 It has two usb ports and i have the same issue on either one.
The PC i successfully updated my device on is an older Dell running a 32 bit version of Vista

Hopefully this will help you. Try placing your iPad in recovery mode again. You may have to try this a few times.
iOS: Unable to update or restore

Ipod mini 2nd gen 1 gb: not detected by laptop (win 7 64 bit), if detected: error during autofill and cannot be restored, please help :D

My laptop does not detect my ipod mini (2nd gen 1 gb), when i connect it the orange light flashe 2 or 3 times then nothing happens. if ever that it will be detected by my laptop and when i sync music on it there will be an error and itunes will suggest to restore it to its factory setting and if i choose to restore it error 3194 happens. so my top priority of course is for it to be detected then fix the latter. please help any will be much appreciated

This is an Answer for a Possible Solution. It worked for me and is still working. The issue I was having with my 64 bit vista, was Apple Mobile Device Service was not being installed, I dont know why. But I disabled any active running program through MSCONFIG, to allow a clean uninterrupted install of ITUNES 8.02. This allowed AMDS and drives from ITUNES to install. Hope this works for most of you.
APPLE, please review your Support Methods. Re-installing doesnt help an issue that resulted from installing.

G580 Laptop will not boot due to the harddrive some how disconnecting

Hello,
My problem with my G580 is that when I start up there is a sounds coming from the laptop and in the booting device list, the HDD with windows 7 on it which is the main HDD won't show. Pretty sure it is because the HDD somehow disconnected but how much will it cost if I send it in to lenovo to fix it?
Video of when I start it up... https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzb6bwEsdb02cS1RV05aTkVSbUU/edit?usp=sharing

Hi Brandon,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
I’m sorry to hear that your G580 Laptop is not detecting the HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and not booting to Windows. I would suggest you to perform the BIOS reset once and check if the HDD is detected in BIOS, below are the steps for the same:
To access BIOS menu press F2 when the Lenovo logo appears on the screen while the computer is starting up.
Then to reset the BIOS to its defaults click on “F9” Key and select YES.
Now click on “F10” Key to save the changes that are done in BIOS, the computer should automatically restart. Please check if the issue persists.
If the issue persists even after performing BIOS reset, I would suggest you to contact our Technical Support for further Assistance to get the details of the nearest Authorized Service Center to get the issue analyzed and for information about repair cost.
Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number. I’m sure they will be a great help.
Do post us back for further queries.
Best Regards

Change of modes not detected

I have a yoga 2 13.My laptop does not detect any change of modes i.e it does not activate tent/theatre/tablet.Is there any solution for it or is it a manufacture defect since i was facing the problem from the beginning.Please suggest.

Try pressing the rotation lock buttons.
Also, install my yoga patch. If it detects slate/laptop mode, it is a software problem, not a hardware problem.

Helps deter thieves from taking your laptop.
What can trigger the Lock:
The slightest mouse movement.

Attempted power down of the computer (future goal is to suspend all attempts of powering down).
Change in AC status (i.e. unplugging the computer).
When triggered, the lock has the following potential:
Take a picture of the person who triggered the lock and email the picture to you (passwords are encrypted).
Loud siren is played.
Activation of any script you write. This essentially opens this feature to endless possibilities. Currently, I utilize this feature to report my computer as stolen to the prey-project's control panel (this script is not fully functional and will not be packaged with this application).

Hp Pavilion is now not detecting the battery all of the sudden after 1 1/2 years.

My Hp Pavilion laptop is not detecting the battery. I can't seem to find information anywhere regarding how to resolve this issue. The battery was detected as of yesterday and was charging still at a "good" level. The battery Icon has an X and "No battery detected" .
Why does this happen and how to resolve it. I've tried taking off and on the battery several times as well as rebooting. NO luck!
Thanks,
