drive failure

How do you recover data/repair from a drive failure in Windows 10 Storage Spaces? I have 4X 4TB drives configured as RAID 1 (mirroring). I assumed that meant that a copy of the data was also stored on the other drives since only 8TB of the 16TB is available. I ID'd the failing drive and...

I have been imaging my system to avoid having to install. It comes in handy as long as the drive is healthy. Should I keep a clone also in case of drive failure or is it better to clean install when the drive fails..

Hello everyone, I have a PC with Windows 10, from my sister, that her son somehow messed up, so it cannot boot anymore. It just boots into the BIOS, where I plays around with various options, but with no success. There are 2 HDs inside. A small 128 GB ssd where windows resides And a big 1 TB...

I am not sure how you post to do this here but the main hard drive is going bad in my computer that has Windows 10 how do you replace a hard drive and keep Windows 10 on the computer

I have been attempting to create a recovery flash drive but each time I try it fails with the message unable to complete – I have tried three 8 GB drives and one 16 GB, I have tried both the front and rear usb sockets on the desktop. Maybe it is significant – I have had more BSODs since I...

So I have a 4 TB drive mirrored to an identical drive. My question is, if/when a drive fails, how will I be notified? Will something popup in the system tray? Or will I get some error message or what? I assume there is something that happens.. otherwise this software RAID would literally be...

Hello! This one should twist your head a bit if you’re anything like me! I have a Pavilion M6 1045DX laptop and the HD crashed. It was 750GB so off to eBay I went to buy another one. I decided to buy a NEW SEALED HD so I bought a blue label WD brand new. (March 2014) Just for grins I wiped and...

The drive in my HTPC failed and I'm going to RMA it. Nothing unusual about that, but with this one I can't find a way to access it for data erasure prior to shipping, and that bothers me. The system partition doesn't contain anything too sensitive...that I remember, but it does have additional...

Hey Guys, first time posting here so hopefully this can be cleared up easily. ( I have Windows 7 64xBits Home Premium and More info is under my profile.) I have been getting random BSOD's for quite a while now and I am at my wits end. Sometimes it occurs right away, say when I open up Photoshop...

Another of my WDC drives is biting the dust (WD30EZRX)...not that it seems to matter what the model is, because I've now owned a number of WDC drives, and none of them has lasted through their warranty period. It seems to be becoming a vicious RMA circle. The drive that I'm now having to...

Hello. I have a dell dimension 9100. I have two drives on it, a ~160gb drive that came with it with xp, and a 500gb drive with win7. I put the win7 in myself and had been using that. Finally, I decided to erase the old drive with xp on to install linux on it. After erasing the old drive, my...

It appears to have just given up on me. It worked perfectly yesterday, but when I tried to author a blank DVD with DVDFlick today, it just stopped working. I have authored many, many DVDs with DVDFlick before, so I doubt that caused the problem. I have tried to get it to read DVDs, CDs and...

I have this problem for a while now, I honestly do not know if this is a problem or not or a bug or god knows what. From time to time, the hard drive makes a weird noise, like its blocked and when I look at the event viewer looks like this: The device, \ Device \ Harddisk0 \ DR0, Has a bad...

Hi, The Hard drive recently died on my laptop and would not boot. I was able to copy some of the data off it by booting from a Linux CD before sending it back to the manufacturer. I now have a new drive and Windows 7 installed. Is there a way to import my mail account details and address...

Hello! I'm having this weird problem. After about each second/third reboot one of my 6 hard drives become read only. It usually happen to a random drive (though, so far drive where W7 is installed never had that disease, yet) . I can't change any files on that drive and even right click option...
