Pavillion dv5-1002nr says: "hard disk test" hard disk not exist

how do i fix this myself or can i?

Hi
It sounds like the hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced.
That is a fairly easy job for someone to do themselves.
However you will either need to have a set of recovery disks to reinstall the operating system or purchase some.
Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook. See chapter 4, pages 62 and 63 for the procedures on replacing the hard drive.  Don't throw it away because you will need to remove the caddy and screws to use on  the new one you buy.

  • Tried to add JUnit Test in Eclipse -- "Test type does not exist" error

    Hi guys,
    I'm developing an assignment whose details I won't bother going into -- it's enough to say that we were introduced to JUnit testing a couple of weeks ago in university tutorials, and I've stupidly tried to add one to my project without fully understanding it all. This is in eclipse 3.1.1.
    Basically, I followed eclipse's built-in tutorial called "Writing and running JUnit tests ".
    1) Created class "TestFailure" with method "testFailure".
    public void testFailure() throws Exception {
        fail();
    } 2) This then appeared as a .java file in my project (as well as on my UML diagram, courtesy of Omondo's UML plugin).
    3) I decided it was too risky mucking around with this stuff in a "live" project, so went ahead and deleted the TestFailure icon on my class diagram.
    4) I closed down eclipse.
    5) I went ahead and deleted TestFailure.java and TestFailure.class from my project folders.
    6) I opened my project again, and tried to execute...
    ... and now I keep getting a Test type does not exist error when I try and run it.
    How on earth do I get rid of this?
    Any advice/guidance is greatly appriciated -- oh, how I wish I'd not started messing with JUnit testing!!! :)

    Um, okay -- I fully hold my hands up and admit that I don't know what I'm doing with JUnit testing (we only had a half hour intro to it) but figured I may as well learn by using the official tutorials. It's always a good place to start! Although obviously using a current assignment isn't the best idea ;)
    I was executing my main class (obviously with my main method in there) to execute the program after I'd deleted test case classes, but strangely I've just shut down my machine and restarted and it's working fine. I'm not sure what the deal is here -- lesson learnt though, study new topics on a dummy project! :)
    Anyway, if I waited until I understood the software and code I'm producing to its fullest, I think hell'd freeze over before I executed any code! :) Using a tutorial to learn a new aspect of software I'm already familiar with wasn't a bad move, IMHO. Just using it on this particular project was... Needless stress and all that.

  • Entry point 'Test Batch' does not exist

    Hi Forum
     I am in the process of upgrading one of our testsystems from TestStand version 3.1 to version 4.1.
    The system is started up by a Labview app which calls TS by a command line call (-runEntryPoint  "Test Batch"  "C:\..."). However, TS 4.1 doesn't recognize the "Test Batch" entry point (worked fine in 3.1), and I get an error box with the message "entry point 'Test Batch' does not exist". I have checked that the entry point exist in the sequence model file, and if I go to the "Execute" menu, I get the choice to run "Test Batch".
    I am able to se the -run command, but then I, for some reason, don't get the entire sequence.
    Any suggestions to what I am doing wrong? I am logged in to TS automatically with my windows login.
    B.R.

  • No synch choice in safari. So how do I synch my bookmarks in safari to firefox when the synch icon firefox says you have to use does not exist in safari.

    no synch choice in safari. So how do I synch my bookmarks in safari to firefox when the synch icon firefox says you have to use does not exist in safari?
    I cannot set up synch with bookmarks in safari since there is no synch icon in preferences in safari.

    This is crazy. The directions on firefox keep telling you to go to links that do not exist to import bookmarks from safari.
    For example, it says;
    Firefox imports Safari settings automatically. Just go to File > Import... and select Safari. In the next window, check the boxes of what you want to import. For example, your Safari Bookmarks will appear in Firefox's Bookmarks menu as "From Safari." Whatever other bookmarks you had on your Safari Bookmarks Bar will automatically appear on your Firefox Bookmarks Bar, too.
    BUT THERE IS NO IMPORT LINK UNDER FILES ON FIREFOX!
    Then I tried to add a device. I got the code but the continue link was not on ever. I tried it over and over and it does not work.
    WHO MAKES THIS SYSTEM??? How can something that should be so simple be so impossible, and why does Firefox direct you to links that do not exist or, if they exist, do not work!
    Thanks,

  • Pavillion dv5-1002nr with 32-bit Vista

    Using HP Recovery Disks, the notebook prematurely shuts down. The recovery was started due to stability problems resulting in Vista not loading. During some of the running of the Recovery Manager, the error message has occurred:
    STOP:c000021a {Fatal System Error}
    The initial session process or system process terminated unexpectantly with a status of 0x00000000 (0x0000001 0x0010037c).
    The system has been shut down. Any ideas? Is Vista still on the Hard Drive?
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    To answer your questions.
    1.  Regarding the Hard Drive, you are in no way restricted to a particular manufacturer, so you may well find it cheaper to buy the HDD from somewhere like Amazon.  According to Page 62 of your Maintenance & Service Guide your notebook can certainly take a 320Gb HDD and again, if you wanted to, you could install a 7200rpm drive if you wished ( you may lose a little battery life, but hardly noticable when weighed against the performance increase ).  I would stay away from Advanced Format HDDs though.
    So to sum up, any 320Gb Sata II ( 5400rpm or 7200rpm ) HDD will be fine - an example would This Hard Drive.
    2.  You can use your existing HP Recovery Discs to reinstall Vista on the new HDD - they will also reinstall all the original software that was bundled with your notebook as well as re-creating the Recovery Partition on the new HDD - a guide on using your set of Recovery Discs to install Vista on the new HDD is Here.
    3.  Why the drive failed is impossible to say without further analysis - the average lifespan of a HDD is between 3 - 5 years however some fail much sooner while others last far longer.
    Let me know if you have any further questions.
    Best regards,

  • HT5621 My ipad recognizes and old email address for icloud.  When I go to change the address it sends me an email verification email that says click the link THAT DOES NOT EXIST IN THE EMAIL!!   How do I get this changed?

    I cannot get my icloud email address changed, but I no longer have that email address.  So it is sending an email to an address that no longer exists, yet I cannot get it to change to my current email address.  WHen I walk through the process, it sends me an "verificaiton email" that DOES NOT have the link in it to verify.  UGH

    Welcome to the Apple community TMOZINGO.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • Error saying Microsoft Word does not exist

    I have Microsoft Office 2007 on my computer, and RoboHelp X3.
    When I try to create a manual in Word, it gives me an error message
    saying, "Printed Documentation: Microsoft Word does not exist.
    Please install Microsoft Word 2000 or later." How do I get the two
    applications to recognize each other?

    Welcome to the forum.
    You won't get them to recognise each other. The first version
    of RH to work with Word 2007 is Adobe RH7.
    You can dual install an earlier version of Word if you still
    have a licence. How is on my site.
    RH has to be installed after Word and you should install the
    versions of Word in the order of release. Don't be too surprised if
    you hit some issues.
    I would recommend upgrading RH. X3 is pretty old now.

    Problem: Smart Hard Disk Error

    How do I fix this error?

    Hi,
    If you're starting to get Smart warnings, it's probably best to think about replacing the Hard Drive - at the very least, make sure you have a current back-up of all your personal files etc in case the drive fails suddenly.
    If you'd like a guide on replacing the Hard Drive, please post back with the full Model No. and Product No. of the notebook ( from the service tag underneath your notebook ) - see Here for a further explanation.

  • 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.
    View Solution.

    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.

    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.
