Hi,

 

Hard disk 1 quick 303 means the Hard Drive has failed the short test.  This means that the Hard Drive is failing and will need to be replaced.  The first thing you should do now is backup all your personal files etc.

 

If your notebook is still under warranty, return it to HP to have the HDD replaced.  If it's not and you would like a guide on how to replace it yourself ( it's a suprisingly easy procedure ), let me know.

 

Regards,

Hi,

 

an error 305 also appeared in the hard disk full check..what does error 305 means?

HP Recommended

Hi,

 

A Hard Disk 1 Full 305 error means the Hard Drive has failed the long test.  The first thing to do after receiving this error is to back up your personal files etc.

 

If the notebook is still under warranty, get this replaced by HP.  If it is not and you would like a guide on how to replace this yourself, please let me know.  Include the full Model No. or Part No. of your notebook.

 

Regards,

so i toke out the Harddrive and put it in a nother computer and reinstalled windows 7 and Succes it worked.

 

then when i put the harddrive back in my HP comp it seemed like it was going to work find got so far (The Screen where it says that windows is starting then it died again) did a system check and it told me ERROR 303.

 

The big question how can the harddrive work in another laptop, but not on my HP???:smileyfrustrated:
