Ok, here's the problem. When I start my comp, I go through BIOS set up, then my Controller Card recognizes my Maxtor and I hit F1 to continue. Well, the last couple of boot ups, after that screen, and before the blue XP screen, the screen will go blank 30 sec, then eventually the XP log in screen would come up.
Well, today I started up my comp and at the Maxtor recognition screen, I get a message (after the detecting thing) that says something like "Dell Disk (something) has recognized you hard drive exceeding is operation specifications. Plz back up all vital data and get a new hard drive." Then Windows wouldnt boot and I get a BSOD. MY ASS, its 4 months old and I never abuse it. Hell, I just installed a fan right under it, so it shouldnt over heat. Anyways, I opened the case, checked all the connections, etc. Fired it back up again, same thing, so I said "run windows with my last working settings." Here I am. The drive is recognized and everything, and I backed up my important data on to my C Drive (my main/storage/OS HDD) just in case.
So, what the heck is going on here? If something is wrong, how can I fix it? And if you need more info, I'll try to find it. Thx! : peace2: Mista K6
