Hi,
Whenever I start up my G62 Notebook, the screen shows the HP logo, and "Press F12 to enter start up menu". After this screen shows up, it stays on that page. I clicked on BIOS (F10) and when to "Diagnostics" and clicked on both of the 2 options. the first option said "Memory Test", i did the memory test and it passed. When i did the other option "Primary Hard Disk Self Test" is said "Hard Disk Not Exist"
Any help for this issue?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Unfortunately I have bad news for you. ![]()
The BIOS diagnostic test confirms that your hard disk has failed.
Is your G62 notebook still within its warranty period?
If it is...Contact HP
If not.'.gather your HP Recovery disc set and purchase and install a new hard disk..

An occurrence like this is quite rare.
