Also, the computer is only a year old so i guess at some point i broke a mirror while walking under a ladder. I'm going to try getting a new version of the same drive that's dying but if that doesn't work i'll just have to move on. I can only find a few other instances of this on the web and none were solved. I thought it was the new drive but I got another one and the same thing happened. Just a quick flash of the power light and then nothing. The computer gets no power when another hard drive is installed. I've been trying to figure out why it won't work with other drives but it seems to defy logic. Very little of it is important, and what is I have on a flash drive. I suppose as long as the OP isn't particularly concerned with the disk's data he/she can continue to use it until it gives up the ghost. The drive in question is one of Hitachi's lesser quality 2.5" SATA notebook drives. Unless it is a older system that uses IDE drives, still, and thus, doesn't work with new SATA drives. If that IS the case something is fundamentally wrong with your system and must be "fixed". Your statement that your computer "doesn't work with new hard drives" is ominous. When the program indicates imminent failure of a disk (as it does in your case), we pay attention.Īssuming the data on the disk is of some importance to you, back it up A/S/A/P. It's just about our favorite HDD drive diagnostic program in terms of providing solid info on the state of health of a drive. We've used the HD Sentinel program for many, many years. By & large, getochkn is correct in that it's virtually impossible to predict with any precision when a disk will fail.
