NOTE:
●
Back up all critical data before troubleshooting the drive.
●
Before contacting support, HP recommends that you run a drive (HDD, SSD, M.2 drive) test using the HP
PC Hardware Diagnostics (UEFI) tool on the suspected failed drive.
●
Diagnose the hard drive using BIOS, Diagnostics built in the shipping image, or an external USB
(
).
●
HP recommends the drive quick test to quickly (less than 10 minutes) identify the malfunctioning drive.
If the issue still exists, run Extensive Test (more than 2 hours, or loop mode, which runs until an error
occurs).
●
If any test fails, record failure code and contact support for instructions about how to order a
replacement hard drive.
