Pavilion G6-1203ey: Hard Disk Test FAILED, but can still boot into Windows

Hello
I have HP Pavilion G6-1203ey laptop. After installing Windows (7 ultimate, 64 bit) and some drivers on it and after several restarts, it hanged at Windows logo and I had to turn it off with power button. Then after turning it on, it gave me the option to repair problems which are preventing it from starting up, from there I let it to restore the computer to an earlier restore point and after a restart the Windows was working again. After that I decided to do a hard disk check just in case.
The Hard Disk Self Test ended up with a message: Hard Disk 1 Full (305). Then I installed HP Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Support Environment and did hard disk from there. I chose the comprehensive test from the options, but it finished fairly quickly (in ~1 minute) with the following output:
Testing Drive: 1
Hard Disk SMART Check : PASSED
Hard Disk Short DST : FAILED
FAILURE ID : PTTU22-5T774L-MFPV4K-60S003
PRODUCT ID : A5Q15EA#B1R
Hard Disk 1
Hard Disk Test : FAILED
A bit more background:
The previous owner told me that the original HDD was faulty which is why he replaced it with this one last year. He said that other than that there has been no problems with the laptop. The Windows is working right now and this HDD is quite new so I would not have expected any problems with it, but the results from the previously mentioned tests seem troubling. Is there a reason to worry?
Thanks

Hi Alnuir,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I read your post and looked into the failure ID that you posted regarding the failed Short DST test. That error is indicating a hard disk failure meaning that if it hasn't failed it might soon. If everything is working I would considering backing up your data on a regular basis just to be safe. You could have a local technician take a look at the hard drive to see how close it is to full failure.

  • Kernel Panic, but I can still boot into windows? :(

    Hi folks,
    2007?'ish MBP 2.2
    machine (normally) boots right in to SL (latest rev).
    holding option, I can choose SL or Windows XP.
    I have a firmware password set up (i know the password if i need it)
    the problem: when i turn my mac on, it will not boot into Mac right away. I get an error that it's "unable to find driver for this platform: \ "ACPI\".\n"@/SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1486.2.11/iokit/Kernel/IOPlatformExpert.cpp.:1 389
    there's more, but I won't type it just yet b/c I just thought of a possible reason:
    I was reviewing photos with a client for a slideshow (everything is backed up..no worries) and she had a thumb drive with more photos. I plugged it in the USB, but it wouldn't read or open in finder.
    No worries - I ran downstairs to my mac pro, it worked. Dragged the pics off.
    Shut down my macbook pro b/c I wasn't using it and when I tried to turn it on later, this problem is there.
    What I've tried:
    resetting SMC
    resetting PRAM
    can't do the TDM - read the article about needing to install the software to open passwords, but hard to do if the computer is down (unless they mean installing it on the machine from which I'm trying to access it?)
    i tried holding option to key in my firmware password, but the same thing happens - can't access the Mac side of things. I can access the Windows section and as I'm typing this, it looks like I'm able to access the install disc
    Just thought I would post this for 2 reasons:
    1. to see if there's anything else I can do (I am going to try disk utilities to repair the disc)
    and 2. to help anyone else out in case they have the same issue.
    Cheers,

    Backup what you can, boot from a compatible installer DVD, erase the hard drive, then reinstall OS X.
    Alternatively, you can try the following:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • Hard disk test failed on HP Pavillion dv6-1100eo notebook

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6-1100eo Entertainment Notebook PC  (P/N: NR597EA) with Vista 32-bit.  Unfortunately no warranty left in and general I have been very happy with this notebook.
    However suddenly Wondows would not start up - and it did not even find Startup Recovery partition on the harddisk. As I wasn't sure if this Startup Recovery was on hard disk or not - I ordered System Recovery DVDs for this Scandinavian language version.
    These disks did not work - so I figured I have probably not done my homework before ordering those disks.
    Then I ran system Diagnostics (even if I have a old BIOS version F.03).  On the diagnositics - both Quick and Full Hard disk test failed during the first 1% of the scan.
    Is there anything that can be done - or is the only option new hard disk? In case - what hard disk is recommended that is not too expensive - as I don't want to invest too much into a soon 3 year old notebook.
    I recently bougth an external harddisk (1 TB) based on USB connection. Can that be used bypassing internal HD. In this way I would increase HD capacity and not invest anymore into this notebook - since I already have the recovery DVDs
    It is probably only a time question before I will buy a new HP notebook - that is why I don't want any long permanent fix of this problem.
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    Sorry to say, but you won't be able to install or boot Vista from the external HDD, so if you need to get the notebook working, you're going to have to replace the internal drive.
    The drive on the link below is an example of one that would be fine for your notebook.
    500Gb Hard Drive
    The procedure to replace the Hard Drive starts on Page 57 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.
    Once done, simply use your Recovery DVDs to reinstall the Operating System on the new drive.

  • Can I boot into Windows XP from a firewire enclosed Hard Drive? Boot Camp

    I understand you can install XP (as long as it has service pack 2 or 3) on an Intel Mac using Boot Camp, but I was wondering if it would be possible to take a HD from a PC computer which already has XP installed, and, using an firewire HD enclosure, boot the Mac into XP from that. Would this be feasible?

    Yes, but not exactly. The page says:
    "Can I install Windows on an external drive?
    No. Installing Boot Camp on an external hard drive is not supported."
    But I don't want to install Windows, I want to boot my computer into it.
    It also says:
    "External FireWire disks are not recognized by the Startup Disk control panel in Microsoft Windows. To start up from a bootable external drive, press and hold the Option (Alt) key while the computer starts up, then select the external disk."
    I don't mind if external disks won't appear under Windows, as long as I can still boot into it.
    I found another helpful post:bootcamp windows 7 Firewire external drive NTFS?
    Here someone writes:
    "I still use Windows XP with my Mac but still never had such a problem with my two Firewire external HDs (one FW400 and one FW800).
    And I did a lot of things with these
    Partioned one for use with OSX and Windows (one HFS+ partition; one NTFS partition); copied my complete MP3-collection (180GB) from one external HD to the other; etc.
    All without any kind of glitch or slowdown."
    So it seems this person was successful in booting XP from an external drive. Windows 7 or Vista on the other hand will encounter problems booting, which that tread explains.
    In another thread (Boot camp on an external hard drive) someone wrote:
    "I believe there might be a way, I just haven't gotten around to trying this out.
    1) use disk utility to partition the external drive to ntfs (i think)
    2) attach this disk to a pc and install the OS
    3) install refit onto your mac
    4) attach the drive via fw800, or even better yet esata, to you mac.
    5) Start up your mac
    6) choose the win xp option from the boot menu
    7) install bootcamp drivers
    this seems, in theory, that it should work."
    So from what I gather, I think this method would probably work, I just want to know if anyone had any specific knowledge regarding this subject.
    From here I only have two questions:
    Is it possible to take a working drive from a PC which already has XP installed, and change the format to ntfs under OSX without damaging the drive or OS?
    And, would I need a version of XP with service pack 2 or 3, or will anything do, since we are not installing it with Bootcamp, we are only running it under Bootcamp at this point.
    Thanks for any help!

  • Changed my iMac but Can't Boot from Windows

    I'm using iMac 21.5 with Mac OS X 10.6.6
    All programs are updated.
    I used to have iMac 24, but i removed it's hard drive and installed it on a new iMac 21.5
    i can't boot from windows 7.
    what should i do ?

    Can you boot into safe mode ..... because if you can you can also reach "repair computer"! so reboot your windows partition, as soon as the bios appears start pressing F8 until you see "Advanced Boot Options" when you get there choose, "Repair your Computer" (1st selection on the page) and go to "Startup Repair" .. selecting that will cause Windows to attempt to repair the boot sector of it's partition, if it succeeds you'll be able to boot, if not no data will have been lost.
    However please understand that without a backup of your windows partition data loss is a possibility under these circumstances. Windows hard drives almost never boot when moved from one installation to another. Read that last bit twice.
    Good luck

  • Can I boot into Windows if it is partitioned on a second hard drive?

    I want to put my 2009 MBP hard drive into a 2012 MBP by replacing the optical drive with the 2009 hard drive in a caddy. The 2009 has Windows partitioned on it already through bootcamp.
    Will I be able to boot into windows through the second drive or will I have to bootcamp the new 2012 drive with Windows?

    OK Cool.   I think I will try that.   Thanks for the tip.  I appreciate it.

  • Hard Disk Test Failed

    I have a laptop G42 (Product # XB056UA#ABA) with Windows 7 64-bit. When I ran the start up test and hard drive test I received an error (Failure ID 9XVL02-55965Q-XD003G-60WS03). It says that the SMART Check passed but the Short DST failed. When I try to load windows I get past the starting windows screen but then it stops after that at the blue screen with the cursor showing but nothing else. I noticed on other forums that say to purchase the system recovery discs which I just received, however when I try them I get the same screen. I'm pretty sure the hard drive is dead, but my laptop is out of warranty. Is there something else I need to try to make the system recovery discs work? I changed the boot order so that the cd-rom is first but that didn't seem to help. If I do need to replace the hard drive is there any advice or information you can give me?  Thank you!

    Hi,
    Failing the short Disk Self Test would indicate that the HDD has indeed failed and will need to be replaced.

  • Hard disk test failed-Hard disk 1 quick (303) for my HP mini 110-3700ca PC.

    Operation system Windows 7 32-bit.
    After a tragic accidental "bump" on the table (I didn't even think it's that serious..), the computer start to slow down significantly, and when I tried to restart it, it shows:
    Windows Error Recovery
    Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause.
    It recommend me to Launch Startup Repair, but since HP mini doesn't have a CD-Rom... It shows error status: 0xc0000225.
    It's kind of obvious that the bumping might damaged the hard disk, so I tried to run hard disk check, and "hard disk 1 quick (303)" was all I got.
    I've put a lot of files on my netbook, and I'm quite desperate to see it working again. Please help!!

    Hi,
    Well, that's very sad, could be due to physical damage too. Anyway, please do a HDD self test:
    1. Restart the computer.
    2. Keep tapping the F10 key when the HP logo appears. This will take you to Bios Setup Utility.
    3. Select the Diagnostic tab.
    4. Select the "hard drive self test" option and press enter to perform the test.
    Note: This test takes at least 40 minutes (with luck)
    Pass - The hard drive is not damaged, you can recover data.
    Fail - the hard drive is damaged and may need to be replaced, no choice.
    Regards.

  • Can't boot into Windows after splitting Mac partition with Disk Utility

    Hi everyone,
    I installed Windows 8 with BOOTCAMP, creating a large 871 GB partition with a smaller 127 GB partition for Windows. After installing Windows, I then went back to Disk Utility to shrink the Mac partition and add two new partitions, one for storage and another blank, hoping to use it to install Linux into one day.
    I did that, and now Windows doesn't boot. A Windows blue screen tells me I need to use the Windows DVD to repair it.
    I tried to use Disk Utility to delete the two new partitions I made and grow the Mac partition back to the max size of 871 GB. But it doesn't let me do this. The Disk Utility log doesn't report an error and thinks it worked but the partition stays the same size. However if I make the partition a little smaller, like 870 GB then it works. I'm wondering if the Recovery partition is hiding there and preventing me from fully expanding the Mac partition.
    What can I do?
    Here's what I get if I type in sudo gpt -r -vv show disk0:
    Code:

    Kappy,
    I can boot into OS X just fine so if possible, I'd like to avoid reformatting everything. If you know of a way I can add more than 2 partitions with OS X and Boot Camp, please let me know. As far as I know, rEFInd can recognize more than two partitions, but I don't think it can edit partitions on a GPT / hybrid MBR system. Or am I wrong?

  • Macbook Pro 5,1 Internet & Server "failed" but can still surf the web

    Hello! I know there are many discussions concerning this topic, and I have read many of them to fix the problem but no luck. I use a TimeCapsule Airport to connect wirelessly to my internet. I have two other laptops (one Macbook Pro and one Dell) that also can connect to the wireless. The TimeCapsule is connected to a router that's jacked into the wall, therefore my Airport Utility connects using automatic DHCP and assigns IP addresses within that router. My Network Diagnostics states that all of my network points are connected up until the Internet  and Server, both of which say "failed" (more explicitly: Airport, Airport Settings, Network Settings, and ISP are all green while Internet and Server are red). The same thing happens if I plug my ethernet cable into my macbook. My other devices connect to the internet just fine and the other Macbook shows all green for diagnostics.
    With this, I am unable to connect to software updater, help, and various other server-requisite connections/programs. This ***** because my battery also requires a software update as the System Profile shows it as "Condition: Check Battery" and my Macbook is constantly crashing for no reason (fully charged, no warning) when it runs on battery.
    I've restarted my router many times, unplugged all power/connection cables and nothing. I've reset my TimeCapsule and nothing. I'm at a loss! Can someone please help? Thanks!

    I finally solved the problem by myself.
    For anyone reading this thread and having similar issues, I quickly describe how I did it:
    Basically, I changed totally nothing on either Soft- or Hardware side.
    But what I did was disassemble my MBP, remove one of those 2 memory chips, un- and replugged the SSD, turned the system on with just one memory chip, let it run for a while (did some stress tests on the SSD that ususally lead to massive problems) and everything worked smooth.
    At first I thought the one memory I removed was bad, but to my surprise the system continued to work stable after I put it in again.
    Since 6 days my MBP runs smooth without any troubles like spinning wheels or whatsoever.
    I've read many threads from other people having similiar issues with this configuration, coming up with a lot of ideas and workarounds.
    Although this seems to be weird, I hope that it helps some of you facing the same weird behaviour.

  • Pavilion dv6-1125es - Hard Disk problem

    I have an HP Pavilion dv6-1125es (out of warranty) with Vista Home Premium (32 bit) that runs very slowly and freezes but this does not seem to be caused by malware. I was considering reinstalling but decided to run diagnostics first. In the System Diagnostics (Setup), the Start-up Test (F2) finds no problem in the Memory Test, Hard Disk Quick Test or Hard Disk SMART Test.
    In the System Diagnostics Hard Disk Test (F4), the Quick Test indicates Passed (100%) but the Full Test shows:
    - 00% Complete
    -‘Replace Hard Disk1’(in red) followed by ‘testing’ (in white)
    The SMART check indicates Passed
    On pressing Esc to continue, the next screen shows (in blue)
    - “Hard Disk Test” Failed
    - “Hard Disk 1 FULL” (305)
    The Diagnostic Log shows Result: 0305
    I would be grateful for help with the following points:
    1) Is the ‘0305’ error unfixable? Does it mean replacing the hard disk?
    2) The current disk is 320 Gb. What is capacity limit for this model dv6-1125es?
    3) If I install Windows 7 on the new disk, can the 64 bit version be used on this model?
    4) As this laptop has also been running hot, I would like to try to clean the fan and ventilation system. Where can I find instructions on this?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi,
    To answer your questions.
    1.  The 305 error does mean you will need to replace the Hard Drive.
    2.  You can certainly go up to a 500Gb HDD without any problems - see the procedure starting on Page 69 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.
    3.  Yes, your processor is 64bit capable - see Here for confirmation of this.
    4.  There are instructions for cleaning your notebooks air vents Here.
    Best regards,
    DP-K

  • HP Pavillion g6 hard disk test failure

    Hi!
    My HP laptop stopped working, I cannot get into windows but can reach the diagnostics tests at the startup sequence.
    The following was reporeted on a Quick Hard disk test:
    Smart Check: PASSED
    Short DSN: FAILED

    PROD ID: B1J44EA#UUW

    I'm guessing I need to replace the hard drive ?

    Hi,
    Unfortunately it does look like you'll need to replace the HDD - the error code for the short Disk Self Test ( DST ) would indicate that the Hard Drive is failing and needs to be replaced.
    The HDD is a warranty item, so if your notebook is still under warranty, contact HP ( with the 24 character error code ) 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.
