Re: Error 03F1 need driver from HD

Hi,

 

This may be a physical problem with the Hard Drive.

 

Shutdown the notebook.  Tap away at f10 as you start the notebook to enter the bios menu.  Under the Advanced or Diagnostic tab you should find the facility to run a test on the Hard Drive - run both the Quick and Comprehensive tests.  Post back with the details of any error messages.

 

Regards,

Hi,

 

The test result would indicate your Hard Drive is failing - the only solution is to replace the drive.  If your notebook is under warranty, contact HP on the links below to arrange for repair.

 

If you live in the US, contact HP Here.

 

If you are in another part of the world, start Here.

 

If your notebook is out of warranty and you would like a guide on replacing this yourself, please let me know.



Regards,

Re: Error 03F1 need driver from HD

I tried this and it wound up verifying an error on 0303 and when I am on my computer there are link problems:

.exe, that all 32 bit applications are invalid unable to get directly online without going directly to a program extention to the internet. Had purchased Advanced Fix It  with an mbd html repair and restore. All is invalid due to 32 bit application.
