Hi everyone! I've had an interesting week, but I'll try to give as much information here as I can. So I custom-built my PC last June (used the HDD from my old comp, which I made in 2006). I had one BSoD; however, since it just happened the once, I never worried about it again. A few days ago...

My hard drive was showing up as having a lot of Seek errors so I decided to do the SMART thing (sorry!) and replace it before it failed completely. I took a full backup and created a system image that I then restored to a new disk using a rescue DVD. On restart the system wouldn't boot...

I cannot seem to figure this one out. I initially installed Windows 7 RC on my newer SATA Hard drive with my older but working Windows XP drive still active. I finished installation and went into Windows 7. All was good, so I was going to save a little power and heat and disconnect the...

I have Windows 7 64 Bit and I've noticed that the SMART for my hard drives are not working when I'm in Windows 7 but they are fine when I'm in XP so I was wondering if someone could tell me what drivers I need to download for my motherboard for this particular function. I went in to the Device...

I had a SG Barracuda 500gb SATA drive I just picked up about two months ago. About a month ago, I started getting SMART notices that the drive may soon fail. It finally did yesterday and kinda screwed up my RAID array as well. Seagate's support totally sucks with this issue, look at their...
