Hi,
The drive on the link below is an example of one that would be fine for your notebook.
The procedure to replace the Hard Drive starts on Page 43 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.
Once done, simply use your Recovery DVDs to reinstall the Operating System on the new drive.
If you don't have your Recovery Discs, you can order a replacement set using the link below.

If you have any problem with this link, order them directly from HP.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.

Hi,
The Smart error would indicate that your Hard Drive is failing and will need to be replaced - the first thing you should do is to make a back-up of all your personal files etc as soon as you can.
If your notebook is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange to have the drive replaced.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.
If you are out of warranty and would like a guide on replacing the Hard Drive yourself, please let me know.

My HP laptop has a smart disk (hard disk) failure and it won't start, I am also out of warranty. Do I need to buy a new hard drive, or a specific one? are there any you recommend.
Your reply is greatly appreciated.

HI,
I have a hp probook 4730s. The HD seems to be dying, although the laptop is only 13 months old. With that said, also the waranty has expired.
Can somebody give me some direction on the following:
- Replacement HDD ( the original seems to be a 640GB 5200, can i replace with a 750 GB 7200 or SSD)
- The system came with a restore disk utility on the drive itself: please direct me to the procedure on how to partition the new HDD and copy both restore disk and utilities software to the new partitions.
Thank you in advance for an answer!

You should not have any issues upgrading to a larger drive or even to an SSD as long as you make sure you purchase a hard drive which matches the requirements in the service guide for the notebook. Also, the guide contains the information on how to disassemble the notebook to replace the hard drive. I hope this helps!
Here are the specifications for compatiable hard drives for your notebook:

Tried:
Changing Ram and tested on other units - good
Changed Power supply - good
Swapped processors to test - good
Changed sata cables - good
Swapped HDdrives - good
Disabled cdrom drives - good
Cleaned heat sink and fan - good
Changed Processor fans - good
Tried installing separate PCIE GPU card - good
Updated bios firmware to latest - gooD
Installed Windows XP, Win7, Win8.1 success but after each reboot STILL SAME PROBLEM.
FREEZES AFTER OS LOAD SCREEN OR STUCK ON STARTUP LOGO BUT WORKS ONLY AT SAFE MODE
Does it means the motherboard is defective? Any idea for a solution. Philippines has very expensive service centers but i can fix it myself on hardware leve only that i am not trained for HP boards and i dont have service schematics of such.
