Hard drive failure, I’d number is 93283l-7j6a4f-mfpv7a-60fq03 when I run a quick test and when I run a extensive test it’s all the same except the last part is - 60xq03, is there any fix or do I need a new hard drive

Hi:

 

The error code reported, Hard Disk 1 SMART Hard Drive Detects Imminent Failure, means the hard drive is about to fail, or has failed, needs to be replaced, and the operating system reinstalled.

 

If you can still get into Windows, back up any files you want to save onto a portable hard drive.

 

Below is the link to the service manual, where you can find the hard drive removal and replacement procedure.

After you replace the drive, you can reinstall W8.1 for free by downloading the plain W8.1 x64 ISO file from the link below.

Use the Microsoft tool that I zipped up and attached below, that you will need to transfer the ISO file to a DVD or USB flash drive so that it is bootable, or you can use a different free utility such as Rufus.

 

After W8.1 has completed installing, you can install the drivers and available software from your notebook's support page.
