Windows 10: New HDD Giving problems (doesnt holdthewall) :O

Hi there So i a new HDD seagate st2000dm008 BUT i seem to have having the current problems. 1. Installing windows a few time made a few loud clicks, sfc found file corruptions. Even though I installed windows 3 times already. changed sata cables and ports aswell. 2. So I download a 50>150mb file, while its downloading I start hearing the hdd play drums. I even installed windows on another drive and no problems what so ever 3. so doing random things in explorer... mini freezes (about 15 seconds) windows , not responding have happened 4 times over the 30 hours (not that I was watching the whole time) sometimes when maximixing a window or shutting down dialog. 4. ran dism, sfc, diskcheck, seatools (all of them say its healthy besides the SFC) Then I start looking at smart record, read error rate is high for only in use for like 30 hours. 5. gaming with hdd caching games (get mini freezes, lag loading) 6. So I switch back to a 5400rpm drive, which has the same settings etc... and to my suprise!!! no problems at all. 7. Looking at eventviewer shows alot of I/O errors. Is this supposed to be happening??? should i get it replaced now? or do i have to wait for more problems Thanks

:)

 

laptop doesnt boot automatically

This is what happened.

1. Did a repair install and later disabled hibertnate in CMD.
2. Enabled legacy option ROM in BIOS.
3. After a few times startup ( i used the system in such mode for 5 days), changed boot option back to default.
4. Vola!! It boots automatically to win10 without any keypress. Tested it with many starts to confirm the same.
5. Re-enabled hibernate option using CMD and later selected Fast Startup.
6. System booted normally, without the need for any keypress.

I do not know exactly whether such steps resolved the problem or what else happened, hence cannot suggest above steps.

Many thanks to all members who helped to troubleshoot problems.

Hi Johan,

It is possible that your
HDD was unreadable
causing the error message to appear. We recommend that you perform these troubleshooting steps and check if there are any changes:

• 
  Shutdown
  your
  PC.
  
• 
  Unhooked
  the
  HDD
  and
  turn on
  your
  PC.
  
• 
  Reconnect
  your
  HDD
  and
  restart
  your
  PC.
  

If the issue persists, we suggest that you contact your
laptop/computer's manufacturer
for further assistance.

Update us on how it goes.

Regards.

 

Installing a new HDD to replace a HDD of the same size that failed.

I have a Windows 10 OS installed on my C: drive. I had data stored on an HDD designated as D: drive. That second drive failed and was replaced by a new HDD. Both are the same size and type of drives, except different manufactures. The new HDD is not
listed in File Explorer. It is listed in Computer Management under Device Manager as a Disk drive. Disk Management under Storage does not list the new HDD.

I have tested the new HDD with software downloaded from the manufacture and it has passed all tests. At least that software was able to access the new drive and perform low level tests to see if it is operational.

Looking at the events log for this HDD, I find an event warning that says "Device ... was not migrated due to partial or ambiguous match." Opening up the properties indicates drivers have been installed. Reading the volume information results in: "Volume
information for this disk cannot be found"

I suspect that the problem with the volume information is associated with the warning in the event log. I removed the HDD, restarted the PC then shut it down to start the installation process over again. No change in the event log or status of the new
HDD. Can anyone suggest how I can get past that warning?
