If you don\u2019t know what that means &#8211; or even what a DST is &#8211; you\u2019re in the right place! Today we\u2019re going to help you figure out what to do if your <\/span>short DST failed<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hva er en DST?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>En disk-selvtest (DST) er et praktisk verkt\u00f8y innebygd i de fleste PC-er og servere fra HP, Dell og andre merker, som sjekker den fysiske tilstanden til harddisken din. Husker du de irriterende kropps\u00f8vingstestene p\u00e5 videreg\u00e5ende? DST er harddiskens versjon av det.<\/p>\n<p>Men i motsetning til de irriterende kropps\u00f8vingstestene, er en DST en utmerket m\u00e5te \u00e5 vurdere harddisken din p\u00e5 og se hvordan ytelsen \u2013 god eller d\u00e5rlig \u2013 p\u00e5virker enhetens funksjon. Siden disse testene allerede er forh\u00e5ndsinstallert p\u00e5 de fleste nye PC-er, aktiveres de vanligvis ved oppstart og jobber stille i bakgrunnen for \u00e5 sikre integriteten til harddisken og dens komponenter.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typer av DST\u2011tester for harddisker<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Det finnes to typer DST\u2011tester: kort og lang. Som navnene antyder, tar den ene lengre tid og vurderer harddiskens helse mer grundig. Slik skiller de seg:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hva er en kort DST<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ved en <\/span><b>kort DST<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> testes kontrollkortet, motoren, platene, lese-\/skrivehodene og mer. Den kj\u00f8res vanligvis automatisk ved oppstart og gir bare en rask oversikt over harddisken din. Du legger antagelig ikke engang merke til at det skjer!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hva er en lang DST?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lang DST gj\u00f8r alt en <\/span><b>kort DST<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> gj\u00f8r, men med tillegg av en fullstendig gjennomgang av dataene som er lagret p\u00e5 platene. Fordi testen er mer grundig, kan lang DST avdekke diskfeil og korrupsjon som kortversjonen ikke fanger opp. Ulempen? I motsetning til kort DST kan ikke enheten utf\u00f8re andre funksjoner mens testen kj\u00f8rer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enten det er en kort eller lang DST \u2013 hvis den best\u00e5r, betyr det at harddisken din er i god stand og b\u00f8r fungere p\u00e5litelig i overskuelig framtid. Dessverre er ikke alle DST\u2011tester vellykkede.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hvis <\/span><b>harddisken din feilet en kort DST\u2011test<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, vil du merke det slik.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hva skjer hvis harddisken din ikke best\u00e5r en kort DST\u2011test?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Akkurat som du kanskje ikke kjenner til DST\u2011tester, kan du ogs\u00e5 overse andre varselsignaler p\u00e5 harddiskproblemer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hvis din <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">HP\u2011harddisk <\/span><b>feiler en kort DST\u2011test<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, vil du mest sannsynlig se feilmeldingen <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201c<\/span><b>short DST <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">failed\u201d (kun p\u00e5 HP\u2011 og andre Windows\u2011enheter) n\u00e5r du starter opp. Meldingen inneholder ofte feilkoder som 0146, 0142 og 0141, som indikerer feil p\u00e5 viktige deler av harddisken.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Men som med mange popup\u2011varsler er disse advarslene lette \u00e5 overse. Du kan til og med lukke vinduet uten \u00e5 lese meldingen eller innse at det er en reell advarsel. Andre symptomer \u2013 svart skjerm, oppstartsfeil, uventede omstarter eller full systemsvikt \u2013 er derimot vanskelig \u00e5 ignorere.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"translation-block\">Hvordan fikse en feil i en kort DST\u2011test<\/h2>\n<p class=\"translation-block\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hvis enheten din viser disse symptomene og <\/span><b>harddisken feiler en kort DST\u2011test<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, er det sannsynlig at disken begynner \u00e5 svikte. Men ikke f\u00e5 panikk \u2013 du kan pr\u00f8ve noen steg for \u00e5 <\/span><b>fikse en kort DST\u2011feil<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. F\u00f8lg disse trinnene i riktig rekkef\u00f8lge for \u00e5 komme deg p\u00e5 nett igjen.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1: Stop!<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hvis du ikke har en sikkerhetskopi av dataene dine, stopp! Ja, det tryggeste \u2013 og f\u00f8rste \u2013 valget ditt b\u00f8r v\u00e6re \u00e5 ikke f\u00f8lge trinnene for \u00e5 l\u00f8se feilen i kort DST\u2011sjekk. HP, Dell og andre produsenter anbefaler alltid \u00e5 kontakte fagfolk for best mulig resultat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the greatest chance at a positive outcome, you may want to reconsider attempting to fix the problem yourself. Engaging with your drive physically always increases the risk of losing data (situations like this are why we recommend you perform regular backups!). So, if you\u2019re serious about recovering your data, <a href=\"https:\/\/drivesaversdatarecovery.com\/nb-no\/contact\/\">calling DriveSavers<\/a> is your best chance of success.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2: Check your connections<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\u00c5 sjekke kabeltilkoblingene er et godt f\u00f8rste steg n\u00e5r du pr\u00f8ver \u00e5 l\u00f8se en feil i den korte DST\u2011testen p\u00e5 harddisken. S\u00f8rg for at IDE\u2011 eller SATA\u2011kablene er riktig koblet til b\u00e5de harddisken og hovedkortet. Selv om det er sjeldent, kan l\u00f8se eller skadde kabler f\u00f8re til falske feil i b\u00e5de korte og lange DST\u2011tester.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, the issue can be remedied quickly by simply re-plugging or replacing the cables.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3: Update your driver\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Hvis du klarer \u00e5 starte datamaskinen, kan du kanskje l\u00f8se en feil i den korte DST-testen ved \u00e5 oppdatere enhetsdriveren. Slik oppdaterer du HDD-driveren p\u00e5 en Windows-PC:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click on the magnifying glass in the lower left-hand corner of your screen, and type in \u201cDevice Manager.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open the Device Manager and double-click on \u201cDisk drives.\u201d Right-click on the name of your hard drive. Click on \u201cUpdate driver.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the pop-up window opens, click on the first option: Search automatically for updated driver software.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your computer should do the rest! But if this step doesn\u2019t work, you\u2019ll need to move on to Step 4.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 4: Restore a previous version of the drive<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Hvis ingen av de tidligere metodene l\u00f8ser feilen med kort DST-test p\u00e5 harddisken, pr\u00f8v \u00e5 gjenopprette en tidligere versjon av disken. F\u00f8lg disse tre handlingene igjen:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start by opening the Control Panel.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose \u201cSystem\u201d and select \u201cSystem Protection\u201d followed by \u201cSystem Restore\u201d (under \u201cSystem Properties\u201d).\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow the steps as directed by the repair wizard. Select a restore point from before the <\/span><b>short DST<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> failure occurred.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Husk at denne metoden bare vil fungere hvis problemene skyldes systemfeil og ikke fysiske defekter!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 5: Consult a professional data recovery company<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If Steps 2, 3 and 4 were unsuccessful, you may need to replace your hard drive.
