I made a new partition H on my third HD, large enough to contain a copy of my XP OS from C. But when I came to use Drive Image to make the copy, it said destination was too small. On inspection, I found that although it was apparently EMPTY, it had a 'Used' figure of 122MB - just enough to take it...

I was using my computer (surfing the Web) and then XP told me delayed write failed. Then, I loaded up HD Tune and SpeedFan separately to check SMART Status. They both showed a failure. Here's HD tune: HD Tune: IC35L040AVER07-0 Health ID Current Worst ...

My laptop has a 4200 RPM HD. I was thinking about getting a USB 5400RPM HD: http://www.westerndigital.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=261. I could move applications to the USB drive and leave the primary for the OS. Will the USB drive perform better than my current HD or will it actually be...

I have two identical Western Digital 250GB hard disks which were previously in a RAID array in a Lacie D2 BigDisk enclosure. When I place either inside any other controller I have, I end up with one showing up at it's accurate 250GB value, and the other at a truncated 128GB. I have gone into...

I'm considering buying some "renewed/"refurbished" drives -- typically "enterprise" models that presumably have been replaced according to a "just in case" schedule. Are there vendors of such drives with particularly good or particularly bad reputations? Perce

Hi, I bought a second hand T42 Ibm laptop and for some reasons (traveling...) I configured the bios with an admin and hd password on system booting. For some other reasons, the laptop is not working anymore and I would like to use its hd as a usb external drive. The thing is that what I have...

(*sigh*) Yeah. Me too. I've got a Dell 4300; it complains, "F1 to retry, F2 to enter setup". No help here. Same thing, when I tried in a different Dell. I thought that MAYBE, it was the controller. 'cept, the controller is specially configured for Dell, and Dell doesn't sell the drive anymore....

I have two IBM Deskstar DTLA-307020 disks (which became Hitachi at some point). The two disks have about 10-20 of bad clusters, but other than that are perfectly functional, with both win2000 and winXP. As they are 3-years old, thought it's about time for a low-level format and a general fitness...
