HP Probook 6455b BOOTMGR image Corrupt
Laptop dropped & out of warranty. I have read some forums and called HP they said
I need to run windows 7 disc, which I don't have, she said when I do I will clear the hard drive (I hope not but, it is what it is)? Cannot get into the laptop other than the start up menu, F8 does not work so I cant back anything up (oh well). system diagnostics memory chech fine, teast 1 (Quick).. error. run/ hard drive failed. 1) Is My HD Done? or... 2) Where can i find this download software for free. 3) How can I download onto usb and then onto Laptop? 4) what is the easiest way to run it on the broken laptop? |

Boot into BIOS setup to see if HD is detected. If not try reinstalling the HD to make sure it's still seated correctly. HP ProBook 6455b Notebook PC - Removing and Replacing the Hard Disk Drive - c02451935 - HP Business Support Center. If so run the maker's HD Diagnostic extended boot scan to determine for sure its condition.
Next boot into the Win7 installer provided in step 5 in Troubleshooting Windows 7 Failure to Start to run Startup Repair up to 3 separate times after confirming the Win7 partition or it's 100mb System Reserved boot partition (preferred) is marked Active: Mark Partition Active . Post back results. |

What sometimes happens when dropped is that the HD gets slightly dislodged so it isn't fully making contact. This is why I said that next I'd pull it out to look it over good and then reseat it paying attention to how it makes contact.
But this is a rare situation so it looks like you will at least need a new HD. Google the PC model + HD replacement, then google the HD model replacement to study your options closely including in Shopping view. |

What makes you think HD is detected? Did it show a Win7 installation to repair? That neverending Startup Repair is most often an attempt at Disk Check on a bad HD.
