Are you saying that an electronic device failure can never occur?? I had my previous compaq and it gave me more trouble initially than my current hp... And not everyone can afford a macbook

Is it not allowed to do further partition in HP Dv6-6165tx as one HP representative told so ?? I tried to do partition of C Drive but after that many software stopped working so i had to perform recovery :( If it is allowed please tell how to do ? Is it true that VLC Player is also not allowed by HP ? Then is there any solution for .flv files and other hd files ( MPC and codecs are not working properly ) ?

U can Do Partion Only Half Of Size HDD....( like i having C = ~350Gb And E = ~ 340 Gb)
Yes , VLC is Not Not Allowed by HP ( When My Laptop Speakers STOPS working , I called/chat with hp , and they ask me which Music and Video Player U used... I Tell Him Truth that I'm using VLC and Itune.....After than they said "By Installing VLC U Void ur warrenty therefor We can not claimed ur warrenty now..")( therefor i needs to used Offsite warrenty and go to Service center for repairing)

I'm still Using VLC just make sure that when Any Problem comes, First Remove VLC and Clean Registry by Many Registery Cleaner....

Where did I say that!?
This black screen thing is not uncommon in dv6 laptops,I have already seen two(one with SB other old).
What has a Macbook or my affordability got to do with it!?

I own 6121TX[Out of warranty;It expired last month:-(].. From 2 days I am getting a strange error message in BIOS during startup.. "SMART test error. Hard disk is likely to fail in future.Please backup the data and replace the hard drive.ERROR 301" and also I am getting a very low transfer rates and low performance..Booting takes around 2mins..

I showed it to a service center guy in bangalore he said it costs 6k to put a nu 500GB hdd (He also told for 320GB 7.2k coz he has to get 320gb disk from sales and its not in service center..LOL:D) and 4.7k for 1 year warranty extension.My question is cant i extend my warranty first and then replace d drive??
Or is der any way to solve SMART error??

listen man u are in a great mess........

It is the same thing which happened to me a few months back. My computer repeatedly showed that my HDD is about to crash but i like an idiot overlooked.:duh2:

The messages were not from BIOS but Win7. And then my HDD crashed .... .... NO BACKUP nothing...my entire games, movies, images collection got lost.:pullhair:

SO PLEASE BACKUP NOW IMMEDIATELY...:mario-run:

...same problem happened with my friends compaq , HDD gone(no warnings though). But eh was able to recover most of the things by using a SATA to USB cable. waiting for the cable since eternity...

Or is der any way to solve SMART error??
