Hard Drive Troubles
I bought this drive back in January
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136075 Today windows would not load, said that a file was corrupt or missing. Repair didnt work, so I was just going to re-install. I put the drive into another PC to back up data, no problem there. During Windows installation process, format would not complete. It got all the way to the end and then said it could not finish. I put the drive back into the other PC to format. Again, it gets all the way to the end and then says it cant finish. I ran Seagate's Diagnostic tests and it passed them all. The drive is still under warranty. Just wanted confirmation that the drive is faulty. It performed fine up until now. |

I would say the drive is faulty if it is acting up in 2 different computers.

That's a western Digital drive. You need to run their diagnostics on the drive, not seagates.
