0 Hi everyone, am looking for some advice for our laptop that randomly went kaput, the laptop in question is: HP Pavillion dv9000 Intel Core2 CPU T5500 1660MHz Processor 1024MB Total Mem Bios v. F.02 Everything was working fine yesterday and the computer was shut down correctly. When I went to start Windows today, the following error occurred: The windows logo appeared with the rolling timer and then it stopped and it said Windows had not shut down properly and I had a few options to try and load up windows in safe mode, or last known settings etc. I've tried all options but they all arrive at the BSOD with the error, "unmountable boot volume".

Windows hard disk did not restart..., hard drive self testfailed ByGobeerbuy Mar 25, 2006 Hi all, I throw myself at the mercy of your collective knowledge for some help. My Laptop decided to crash suddenly, now on attempting to restart I get the Windows did not restart properly screen, and no matter which of the options I choose, after a short time hard disk error the blue screen apears for a split second and the machine tries to restart again. I accessed the "setup" option prior to start up and ran the Hard drive self test, which FAILED (hash)1 - 07. Usefully I have the details of an e-ticket I rather urgently need in my outlook. I cannot find my recovery CD (XP pro). What can I do? Any advice???? Thanks Mar 25, 2006 #1 Nodsu TS Rookie Posts: 5,837 +6 The hard drive self-test failed.. Could it be that your hard drive is bad? :O Duh! Download the diagnostic utility from the HD maker and see what exactly is wrong.
