Hi,

Whenever I turn on my computer or even restarted it, and then tried to run the command 'chkdsk /r /f', I faced the error 'cannot lock current drive', although there are no other process hare running.

I had to schedule it to be running in the next restart.

When I scheduled it to be running in the next system restart , it was running well when it was restarted.

I personally don't think you'd gain anything from a scan with UBCD.  We can learn all about the HDD's health by looking at its SMART data.  It may pass a diagnostic test with flying colors, and still have corrupted numerous files (in the past) and/or have many (remapped) bad sectors.

    Looking at your HDD's SMART status, I can see that it had 104 (hex 68) bad sectors which have since been reallocated (see Reallocated Sectors Count).  Since Current Pending Sector Count is 0, all suspected bad sectors have been successfully remapped, probably thanks to an earlier chkdsk /r scan.

    Everything else looks good.  I would suggest keeping an eye on the HDD every once in a while to make sure that it isn't developing more bad sectors (Current Pending Sector Count or Read Error Rate increasing from 0 in the far-right column).

    In case you didn't know this, HDDs are quite sensitive to being jostled while in operation.  Setting a laptop down too hard while it's on are is one the easiest ways to kill a laptop's HDD.  If you need a laptop that can be thrown around, it would be a good idea to upgrade to a SSD, since they have no moving parts.  This will also greatly speed up the laptop since the HDD is the biggest bottleneck in practically all laptops made nowadays.

    Yes, this is what I've been afraid of.  I.e. when my package is received in  Yemen. Who will receive it?

    I.e.  the US Post Office will forward the package to which department in Yemen, the Customs Department, or Post Office Department?

    If to Post Office Department, then Post Office Department may be sending it to the Post Office Department of my province since there is the name of my province is written in the delivery address. However, the question is may the Post Office Department of my province be sending it to the Post Office Department of my city????? I, myself, don't think since there is no personal Post Office Box number is written on the package. If Post Office Department of province will send the package  to Post Office Department of my city even if there is no P.O.B written on the package, then no one will rent a slot at the post office since they got what they want without renting a slot at the post office.

    Moreover, I really see if I send a personal stuff to another person living in another city,  that stuff will be sent from one city to another one inside the same province. Then, the person carrying the stuff should be told with where to put that stuff (in a specific place) so that the recipient will be told with that place from which he'll take the stuff. What is  very important to be used by the temporary recipient to tell the sender or the intended recipeint is the mobile numbers for both the sender and the intended recipeint.

    So, in conclusion, all the sender, carrier and recipient know the place of the stuff.

    However, in my case, when the sender of my product only has the my name, and City, province, Country, then he'll send the package to Yemen Post Office. After that, Yemen Post Office will send my package to Post Office of my province. Nest, Post Office of my Province will send it to Post Office of my city. If so, then my pakcage was sent to the Post Office of my city without having the personal number of Post Office Box. Then what benefit will be there from renting a slot at P.O.B?

        Anything imported to your country will have to come in via one of the shipping ports, be it via ship, airplane, or land.  Normally there are customs people there at each of these points of entry.  After passing customs, the package would be entered into your country's postal system, which would then decide where to ship it based on the information provided on the package's label.

        I'm not sure if there are multiple postal systems in your country or not.  In the US, we have USPS (our national postal system), and then UPS and FedEx, which are privately owned and tend to deal with packages rather than mail.  They all work with street addresses.  USPS normally delivers to their mailboxes at the street; the other two usually deliver to the front door of the residence at the specified address.

        A province, city, and village printed on the package's label would get it to your local post office.  What they do with it depends on what personally identifiable information is on the package to indicate that you are the intended recipient.

        Here in the US, when receiving a package, the USPS will attempt to deliver it to the mailbox just like with everything else (letters, magazines).  If it doesn't fit in the mailbox, they are supposed to attempt to deliver it to your door.  If you don't answer the door (or if they're feeling lazy), and note is put in the mailbox stating that the package is being held for you at the Post Office.  This is the only time I'm aware of other than renting a P.O. Box that mail is held at the Post Office.  But, this is the USPS, and your country may do it differently.

        In your 3rd paragraph, you mentioned mobile phone numbers being of importance, and that specific places of delivery are involved.  If this is how mail is delivered in your country, it sounds to me like your name and mobile number should be placed into the address field.  This would get it printed onto the label on the package.  All I know about your country's postal system is what you tell me, and then I can only make educated guesses based on our system in the US.  I'm sure you could get much better information on this subject from postal employees in your country and your HP agent who is dealing with both imports and local shipments.

    If you have a look at the screen shot of my quotation,  you will see that battery is 'HP Pavilion DV6 Battery 6cell' without mentioning any part number. When I looked for this HP Pavilion DV6 Battery 6cell  at ebay.com, and Amazon.com, I found Zero results. Even when I wanted to looked for original genuine  HP Pavilion DV6-6000 DV7-6000 Battery 6cell, I found zero results.

    Thus, my questions are:

    Firstly: How to know exactly which one original genuine  HP Pavilion DV6-6000 Battery 6cell can be compatible with my laptop? So,  I am kindly requesting you to let me know What is the HP Pavilion Notebook Battery part number to look for it at ebay.com or Aamazon.com.

    Secondly: I think I gave you the model name and model number of my laptop, so could you get what exactly the spare part number can be in place existing HP battery. If not, I would be saying I can look at the information written on the existing battery, then I will find the spare part numbe  which can be looked for at ebay.com. HOWEVER, IF I NEED THE SPARE PART NUMBER OF COOLING FAN, THEN THIS WOULD BE DIFFICULT SINCE GETTING INFORMATION OF THE COOLING FAN NEEDS ME TO TAKE APART ALL THE COMPONENTS OF MY LAPTOP TO GET TO COOLING FAN.

    Thirdly: I really found the price of Battery in the quotation of local HP agent in Yemen is very high, however, Fan cooling fan, and power jack are the same as at ebay.com. So, I wanted to look up  the price of HP Pavilion DV6 Battery 6cell  HP Pavilion DV6 Battery 6cell at ebay.com.

        While I don't know the answer, I do know several ways of finding out.  The Service Manual for your laptop should have a huge list of HP part numbers.  Sadly, the link (which worked a couple of weeks ago) is now broken.  So on to plan 2, searching eBay.  Using a search term of "DV6-6000 battery", I scanned the results for "genuine", "original" batteries.  After checking several of those listings, they all pictured a batteries with the HP part number of 593553-001 printed on a white sticker affixed to the battery.  However, in a search for "593553-001", I got a whole lot of listings for DC power jacks for a couple other laptops.  Later on (at a higher price point in the search results), I started seeing batteries.  Many of them were 3rd-party replacements, so using the numerical search will not guarantee getting a genuine HP battery.  Look at each picture closely for the "HP spare" part number sticker, and for the HP logo.  The absence of these would suggest that you're looking at a 3rd-party battery.

        You are welcome to use the same technique to research the part number for your CPU fan/heatsink if you need that number also.

    Firstly: When I looked for dv6-6000 blu ray at ebay.com, I really found many results, however, none of them are BD-R/RE Writer/Burner. So, I don't know if all the results of dvd6-6000 blu ray are A BD-ROM DVD/RW Multi drive which  can read CDs, DVDs,  but can only  burn CDs and DVDs OR A BD-R/RE Writer/Burner which can burn BluRay discs. So, I had to search with dv6-6000 BD-R/RE Writer/Burner blu ray , and I found several with BD-R/RE feature. One of which is HP Pavilion dv4 dv5 dv6 dv7 dv8 Blu-ray BD-R BD-RE Burner Writer Player Drive

    secondly:: Do you know why the mydvddrives.com ships to Yemen for free when choosing the method of delivery as USPS First Class Mail. However, this method should be charged for in Ebay.com ,and Amazon.com.

    Thirdly: You think there is no BD-R/RE Writer/Burner with lightscribe feature in all online sellers websites? NOTE: my DVD drive which defective has lightscribe feature. Yes,  all LightScribe does is allow the drive to burn a label onto special LightScribe discs, but I think drive should have the feature to do that.

        The Bluray drive you linked looks good.  I do not know why mydvddrives.com offers free shipping to Yemen; all I know is that is rumored that they are based in Hong Kong, so I would expect shipping to be cheaper than ordering from the US because of the shorter distance.

        You'll have to decide how badly you want the LightScribe feature.  It may be very hard to get this feature with everything else and shipping to Yemen.

    As long as my laptop doesn't have  two bays for SSDs/HDDs, what can I do with my standard HDD after installing the SSD in its place?

    Yes, I was told that my laptop has one 2.5 inch hard drive bay. There is no mSSD slot so I can have a single hard drive unless I am willing to give up the optical drive in which case I can use an optical drive to hdd adapter. If I am going to use an SSD put it in the internal 2.5 slot and a hdd in the optical bay adapter."

    Thus,

    First:  you think that I can put HDD with  2.5 inch drive bay into the place of  the optical drive with  12.7mm drive bay?

    Second: what benefit do you think from having two HDs(SSD, and HDD) installed on my laptop if the main reason from installing SSD is speeding the machine, and keeping the data from crashing. I think that SSD will speed my machine, however, you think that installing OS on  SSD, and  using HDD to only save my personal data will not affect in performing SSD in speeding my machine?

        Yes, you can buy an adapter that will hold the HDD and allow you to plug it in where the CD/DVD drive used to be.  Both basically use SATA connections, but slightly differently shaped power connectors, hence the need for an adapter.

          As long as your operating system, paging file, programs and games are all installed on the SSD, you will get the system responsiveness boost.  Any personal/work files that could benefit from or would require high performance (like audio editing or raw video capture) could also be stored on the SSD.  You could then store the rest of your files on the HDD if you really want to.  If you have a lot of files, this could be advantageous in letting you buy a smaller and cheaper SSD (120GB), while storing most/all your files on the HDD.  On the other hand, you'll have increased power consumption because you're now powering two drives, and you'll still have the HDD of unknown condition storing your files.  Then again, if everything is backed up, you have nothing to lost if it quits.

        Another thing you could do with the HDD is buy a USB dock for it.  You could also just install it directly into a desktop computer since the connections (using SATA) are exactly the same between desktop and laptop computers on HDDs.

    The US Post Office will forward the package to Yemen even without a street address or P.O. Box on it.  They even do that with packages here in the US as described above.  What happens to it once in Yemen is up to your country.

    Thank you so much indeed,

    I really don't be more bothered ,,however, since I am anxious to know more, I would like to kindly answer my questions below which I hope that they are the final ones asked here.

    NOTE: I continue asking about this issue since I really see that things in Yemen  are not going on as in other countries.

    Yes, this is what I've been afraid of.  I.e. when my package is received in  Yemen. Who will receive it?

    I.e.  the US Post Office will forward the package to which department in Yemen, the Customs Department, or Post Office Department?

However, the question is may the Post Office Department of my province be sending it to the Post Office Department of my city????? I, myself, don't think since there is no personal Post Office Box number is written on the package. If Post Office Department of province will send the package  to Post Office Department of my city even if there is no P.O.B written on the package, then no one will rent a slot at the post office since they got what they want without renting a slot at the post office.

    Moreover, I really see if I send a personal stuff to another person living in another city,  that stuff will be sent from one city to another one inside the same province.

    So, in conclusion, all the sender, carrier and recipient know the place of the stuff.

If so, then my pakcage was sent to the Post Office of my city without having the personal number of Post Office Box. Then what benefit will be there from renting a slot at P.O.B?

      The advantage of buying from your HP agent is that the parts should be guaranteed compatible. Are you sure you would only pay $16 in shipping to eBay?  Unless you're buying each item from thesame seller, each one will have its own shipping cost.  And even then, sellers frequently add a little to the cost of shipping for each item you add to the order.  It may be cheaper (or close to it), and certainly less risky to go through your local HP agent.

        Regarding batteries, many of the batteries being sold are aftermarket batteries that are cheaper to produce, but are usually compatible.  Some work great, while others are duds.  At the very least, pay close attention to the sellers positive feedback rating especially when buying batteries.  Batteries marked "Genuine", "OEM" or "Original"should be HP batteries.  Otherwise, they are most likely aftermarket, 3rd-party batteries.  Batteries with more cells (like the 12-cell ones) are heavier, protrude out the bottom of the laptop, and can greatly increase run time.  For a search term, I would suggest using "DV6-6000 battery".

    If you have a look at the screen shot of my quotation,  you will see that battery is 'HP Pavilion DV6 Battery 6cell' without mentioning any part number. When I looked for this HP Pavilion DV6 Battery 6cell  at ebay.com, and Amazon.com, I found Zero results. Even when I wanted to looked for original genuine  HP Pavilion DV6-6000 DV7-6000 Battery 6cell, I found zero results.

        However, with a non-OEM/compatible part, the bezel in the front most likely will not match your laptop's shape, and may even not fit.  Many even come without a bezel or mounting accessories at all.  Usually you can remove these parts from your current drive and put them on the new drive.  Is there any chance that your local HP agent could get an official (compatible) BluRay drive for you?  If not, I found several results on eBay that should work using the search term "dv6-6000 blu ray".  Remember to keep your search terms as short as possible!  When searching for the compatible part number you listed above, a search for "665329-001" returned several results (although none shipping to Yemen).

    Firstly: When I looked for dv6-6000 blu ray at ebay.com, I really found many results, however, none of them are BD-R/RE Writer/Burner. So, I don't know if all the results of dvd6-6000 blu ray are A BD-ROM DVD/RW Multi drive which  can read CDs, DVDs,  but can only  burn CDs and DVDs OR A BD-R/RE Writer/Burner which can burn BluRay discs.
