Error Code BIOHD-2 During Hard Drive Test No Drives Detected

I am working on a HP Pavilion p6214y Desktop PC.
Just to list the specs for any unusual problems:
OS = Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
MB = HP P/N: 513430-002 with AMD Athlon II x4 620 Quad Core
HD = Western Digital 1TB
Power = 350W LiteOn
Ram = 8G
I am getting a blue screen that shows 4 options and I chose F9 for diagnostics and it gave me error code BIOHD-2 when checking the hard drive. It said no hard drives were detected. I have read on this here and checked the bios and it does not find the hard drive. So most people then say it is a bad hard drive. Although, I put the drive into another computer and I can pull files up from the hard drive and view them. It finds the drive just fine in the bios. I also put a working hard drive from that other computer into this HP and it will not recognize a hard drive through the bios. Since the mother board is not recognizing hard drives throught the sata ports I would assume a mother board failure. I then put in a bootable usb version of Ubuntu 12.10. It runs smoothly and will access the internet and everything. So, from my small amount of knowledge, that means that the mother board is still ok, right? I do not believe that I have read anywhere that the motherboard can go bad only at the sata ports. Does anyone know if that is a possibility? Is there a chance that I could salvage the situation by purchasing a set of recovery disks for this specific model and just reinstalling everything? I have heard that they are usually $20 so that would be a cheap trial and error.
Also, it will make it to the recovery screen sometimes on the blue screen, but it won't do anything because the keyboard stops working at that point.
Just another tech junkie.

Hi:
If you are running the ubuntu from the usb flash drive and not the hard drive, then yes, there is a definite possibility the motherboard sata controller has failed.
I believe the motherboard in your model is notorious for sata controller failures as is evidenced in these many threads below.

HP pavillion Error Code: BIOHD-8

I have an HP pavillion p6000 desktop with windows 7 with an AMD Athlon II x4 635 processor. I recently downloaded C cleaner to clear up some space, and may have deleted something important. I went to reboot at a point, and my computer would get to the loading screen for windows, an then just reboot over and over. Running the startup repair did nothing, sat there for hours and hours. I accessed diagnostic tools in start up - it scanned my CPU and memory and they passed but the hardrive failed with these details :
Error Code: BIOHD-8
Error: A SMART test failed on the drive.
How can I resolve this issue?

Hi,
That's not a good news, the HDD is having big problem. Please do a HDD self test again:
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 may take up to 40 minutes or more.
Pass - The hard drive is not damaged.
Fail - the hard drive is damaged and may need to be replaced.
Regards.

Error Code: BIOHD-2

My HP computer won't boot up.
When I run Diagnostic Tools on intial startup (F9)
I get and Error code "BIOHD-2" when it is testing Boot Path
It says
"Error Code : BIOHD-2"
"Warning : No drives detected."
"Suggestion : Turn off your system and verify the drive cables are securely attached. If problems persist, contact HP support."
I contacted HP support that they want me to pay $59.99 for a one time service fee to test the system!
I think that is rediculus. They won't even tell me what's wrong or what that error code is? I've had no problems with this computer at all since I bought it FRYs 6 years ago
Can anyone here help me on this matter?
I have a HP Pavilion Elite m9515f PC
AMD Phenom X4 9850 Quad-Core Processor
Please help!
Thank you
Lucky

I don't know if it's my HDD or my motherboard ?

Hi WayneB1,
You are correct that you will need to contact HP and get a set of recovery discs. Once you have those you will need to replace your hard drive. In Big_Dave's second post there is a link on how to replace a hard drive. The link below will help you order recovery discs.

what are the meanings of Apple Hardware Test error codes 4m0t/4/40000003:hdd-1300 and 4m0t/4/40000003:hdd-1308?

Thanks - Even though I'm years out of warranty I got chat help from Apple (I said they should help me since the codes aren't published.) We covered three different questions, and although I didn't get a specific decoding of the error code, I got confirmation of what other comments here imply - it might have helped that I indicated I'd already been here - and useful links to how to do back ups, including to CD(s). (I don't have a lot of data on this computer yet)
Now I need to figure out how to decide how hot-to-the-touch is "too hot" for the metal frame at the top of the iMac to decide whether I'm getting adequate fan performance or insufficient. While chatting I initially reported it was cool at the bottom and warm at the top. Apple hadn't asked, but their response prompted me to feel it again, and I'd say the top was hot, not warm - I updated but Apple didn't comment further except to conclude after addressing the other questions that I should take it in for further assessment - don't really want to bother with that.

HT201257 Does anybody know what hardware test error code this is 4SNS/1/40000001: TCOH -1.704

Does anybody know what hardware test error code this is 4SNS/1/40000001: TCOH -1.704
Trying to track down fast running fan that will not reset and this error came up.

only apple techncians have access to what those codes mean. It is sensor related, but as it is a hardware problem, you need to bring it into an Apple store or AASP to have it correctly diagnosed and fixed.

PC Doctor Error Code BIOHD-2

HP Pavilion FK484AV-ABA, model m4900t running windows 7 64 bit. RAID-1 setup.
PC crashed. Cannot restart. On cold boot, received the error message that RAID-1 and both hard drives failed. Ran PC-Doctor and received the following diagnostics:
CPU, Memory, all hard drives OK.
Boot Path Diagnostic
Error Code:     BIOHD-2
Warning:          No drives detected.
Suggestion:    Turn off system and verify the drive cables are securely attached.
Since PC-Doctor verified that both drives were OK, I am assuming that the cables also were OK. Any suggestions on what the problem may be??
Thanks in advance for your help.
This question was solved.

Go into the BIOS to see if the drives are recognized. Post your results here.
That is an unusual condition for PC Doktor to report. Normally a BIOHD-2 error code means that a hard disk has failed, but I do doubt that both drives failed at once.

Error code: biohd-1

I have a HP Pro 3130 Minitower Desktop PC.
Computer will not boot. F9- diagnostics:
CPU test passed
Hard Drive connection test failed error code BIOHD1
warning drive not detected
suggestion turn off computer and verify cables are connected
memory test passed
I have a tech coming tomorrow
The most important thing for me is to recover the files on my hard drive: please advise
thank you

Hi,
As already mentioned, BIOHD-1 code means No communication and most of the time reseating the cable helps. I don't think this would damage the HDD.
Good luck.

What do Apple Hardware Test Error Codes indicate?

I recently installed new 1GB memory modules in both slots. When running the Apple Hardware Test, I got the following error code:
post/0/2048 S0DIMM0/J20STANDARD
Does anybody knows what this means? Up in the Test Results Box, it said Memory passed.
Do I have a problem or not?

I've had little luck finding a compilation of those AHT codes and their meaning. In your case, "post" is probably "power-on self test," the routine that all Macs run at startup to check for problems.
2048 is the total RAM qty in MB.
J20STANDARD is the logical name of one of the RAM slots.
Run System Profiler and see what it shows for when you select "Memory" from the left-hand pane. On my 1Ghz 17" PowerBook, Profiler shows one slot as J20STANDARD and the other as J23REVERSED and it runs fine. Profiler will tell you if the modules are matched for speed and CAS latency.

What do i do if i am receiving a error code BIOHD-4?

I've read quite a few posts about that error message on this forum. The link above is to one of those threads.
It doesn't look too good, but your answer is probably in the first couple of posts in that link.

Is this major?! Hardware test error code 4M0T/4/40000002:HDD-0

I ran a thorough hardware test on my 2010 iMac11,3 yesterday and came up with this error code. I then used disk utility to try to repair the disk and ran another thorough hardware test and the same code appeared. Does anyone know what this error code means? and whether I should get it fixed ASAP?
I'm asking since this is my work computer and I really need to have it around and can't risk having repairs take a week or so to get this error fixed. If this is major I'll probably move all my work files onto my MBP n try to work on them there but that would be my last resort.
Any help would be much appreciated!! Thanks!

iStatPro says my hard drive fan is not spinning at all...that can't be good..I guess i'll have to bring this baby in for some servicing.
Watch the temp of the HD; I don't know what the max should be, but be careful not to damage it by letting it get too hot.

Mac Book Hardware Test Error Codes?

After running the HW test utility on my Mac Book it registered this error - 4HDD/11/40000004:SATA(0.0) - what does it mean? Are the error code listed anywhere?

Hi CBJR: That error code indicates a problem with your hard drive or the interface for the hard drive. Sounds like it's time for a visit to an Apple store to have them look at it.

MBA hardware test error code: 4MEM/1/40000000:0x79flae98. Can anybody tell me what this means and how to fix the problem if ever possible? Thanks!

As mentioned in the subject line: my Mid 2009 MBA freezes frequently. The hardware test provides the error code.
It sounds like a failed RAM but it still works when booted.
Can anybody tell me what was wrong with this MBA and what else can I do to save it?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
That's a RAM issue. If you want, you can still use your Mac until it gets damaged, but that message tells something bad with your RAM, and what it's worse, the RAM in the MacBook Air is soldered onto the logic board, so if you take the Mac to an Apple Store or reseller to get it repaired, the whole logic board will have to be replaced, making this repair so expensive
