I'm at a dead end. I updated the firmware of the SSD. Updated the bios of the HP laptop. Did a factory restore on the SSD which surprisingly installed without any sort of trouble. I have a feeling it has something to do with the controller but I don't know how to isolate that on a laptop.
The original 750 GB HDD works fine and the SSD works as a bootable OS drive in my custom tower.
If anyone is familiar with HP error codes the error on boot up says:
Hard Disk Error
Please run the Hard Disk Test in System Diagnostics
Hard Disk 1 (3F1)
F2 System Diagnostics
For more info: www.hp.come/go/techcenter/startup
I've been to that website and it tells me to run the HDD test which it then tells me the HDD test doesn't work to find the errors on a SSD, go figure right?
I'm at a lost I feel like at this point throw the laptop to my Mom who needs a new computer badder than I do and me myself for an early Christmas go and get a SSD preloaded in a laptop that already works.
Here's my laptop specs:
HP Pavilion G6 Notebook PC
Prod #: LV995UA
Bios ver: F.34
CPU: AMD Phen 2 P960 Quad
6GB ram
Windows 7 Home Premium
Intel 320 SSD 120GB
(Original HDD 750 GB Hitachi)
If worst comes to worse I'll just throw the SSD in my tower and file server everything to my 2 TB NAS but I would like the SSD to work in the laptop more cause I plan on upgrading my tower anyway later next year.
