Hi @tjnihal, Thanks for the reply. I run the diagnostic teat both the Quick and Extensive. Quick test get passed but extensive ended up in error please check the below error. I don’t no what long dst means.
@CrazyFrog, This means you hard disk on the edge of failure and going to fail very soon. I suggest you to take the backup or Image of the disk immediately and replace with new disk. If you have a active warranty then you may contact the HP support with the above image they will replace the disk under warranty.
Today I contacted the HP support by sharing the HP hard drive diagnostic report they agreed to replace the disk within 48 hours. Finally now I can breathing.
Thanks all for your help.
Above are the great suggestions by other fellow members. If the Long DST has failed, then probably the disk is failing. You can confirm that by following the below process:
Run a CHKDSK scan to scan the hard drive for bad sectors and mark them as bad.
Use a third-party hard drive diagnostic tool to test the hard drive for errors.
Replace the bad sector with a spare sector.
Replace the hard drive altogether.
The frequency of the error messages. If you are getting the error messages frequently, then it is more likely that the hard drive is failing and needs to be replaced.
The age of the hard drive. Older hard drives are more likely to develop bad sectors.
The type of data that is stored on the hard drive. If the hard drive contains important data, it is important to back it up before running any repairs.
If you are unsure how to resolve the issue, you can let us know in the comment section below.
You have a PC that is experiencing hundreds of Event ID 7 errors indicating “Disk has a bad block at \Device\Harddisk0\DR0”. Despite several online suggestions, if the issue remains unresolved please follow the below suggestions.
Additional Recommended Steps:
Immediate Data Backup:
Ensure that all important data is backed up immediately to prevent any potential data loss.
Enhanced CHKDSK Parameters:
Use the following CHKDSK command with additional parameters to fix file system errors and recover readable information: chkdsk /f /r.
Event Viewer:
Check the Event Viewer for specific error codes or messages related to the disk issue.
Disk Health Monitoring Tools:
Utilise tools such as CrystalDiskInfo and HDDScan to check the SMART status of the drive for a detailed health report.
Firmware Updates:
Check for and install any available firmware updates for the hard drive from the manufacturer.
Re-seat Connections:
Ensure all cables connecting the hard drive are securely in place to rule out connection issues.
Alternative Boot Disk:
Use a bootable diagnostic tool like Hiren’s BootCD or Ultimate Boot CD to run diagnostics outside of the operating system.
Use a Different SATA Port:
Try connecting the hard drive to a different SATA port on the motherboard.
Professional Data Recovery:
If the drive contains critical data and failure seems imminent, consider contacting a professional data recovery service.
Document Exact Errors:
Document the exact error messages and codes from CHKDSK, SFC, and other tools to share for more precise assistance.
HP Hard Drive Diagnostic:
Run Both Quick and Extensive Tests:
Follow these steps to run the HP hard disk diagnostic:
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds to turn off the system (if it’s on).
Press the power button to turn on the system and immediately start pressing the ESC key repeatedly (4-5 times) until a menu appears.
Press the F2 key.
Select “Components Test” from the HP PC Hardware Diagnostics menu.
Use the arrow keys to select the hard drive.
Select “Quick Test” and then “Run Once.”
Wait for the test to finish. If your system has more than one drive, select “Test All Hard Drives.”
If the Quick Test passes but the problem persists, run the Extensive Test after a restart.
Share the test results if the disk did not pass, for further guidance.
Addressing the “Disk has a bad block at \Device\Harddisk0\DR0” issue involves a series of diagnostics and preventive measures.
By following these steps, you can identify whether the hard drive is failing and take appropriate actions, such as replacing the disk or seeking professional help. Always ensure data is backed up to avoid data loss.
