Title: Boot Problem XP PRO 250GB, Storage Problem
Post by: Kyall on February 09, 2008, 07:09:12 PM

(I have also made rthis post in the microsoft windows section of this form as it relates to two problems)
Hey this is my first post to this site so please feel free to nag more info out of me if i dont put enough on
My XP Pro recently got a 250 gb Seagate internal hard drive installed into it, yet it takes around 10 to 15 minutes for it to boot.
So i decided in the end to have it as a secondary hard drive and have my 80 gb hard drive as a primary. yet when my 250 gb reaches over 91.9 gb full, it will not load anymore data, instead crash and say that i have lost all data that i was moving.
If anyone knows whats wrong or even advice, it will be well appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

sounds like a dying harddrive. you should seek a replacement, or take advantage of seagates warranty if it is less than 5 years old.

Test the hard drive with Seagate's diagnostics tool Seatools (http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/seatools).
