20 Most Recent Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 ST380011A 80 GB Hard Drive - Page 6 Questions & Answers

your hardisk may have bad`s on it, try repartitioning the drive and install windows on another partition, if it works, check your harddrive for beds using partition magic or alternative software. if still doesn`t work, your harddisk is compromised.

Yes this drive will become a slave drive and will need to be connected up to ribbon cable inside computer. There should be a spare connector on one of the cables comming from either cd-rom or the master hard drive... on the back of your new drive there is a small 2 pin connector which if you look onto most drives that u must set it as a slave drive

I think this model is still an IDE type. You set the 32GB limit then jump the settings to read the full capacity of the drive. If you are trying to load XP OS from a blank drive.

First prime the hard drive, you can do low level formatting and use third party software to partition and format the drive. on FAT32 partition you can only use 8GByte to make the drive bootable. Make it primary if I remembered it correctly and active. Or use the NTFS format.

You can use also if it have the manufacturers' hard drive utilities to check the hard drive integrity. I know they have it. It also equip with zero fill to renew chain and links of the drive. Then partition, format, primary and active. Then load your OS.

Check also your CD disc integrity, scratches do make a lot of troubles. And also your cdrom/dvdrom drive.

These external drives are supported by the standard device drivers that are already included in these operating systems out of the box. Installing Serial ATA drives requires the installation of drivers from the Serial ATA motherboard. Click here for more information on this subject.

if its a secondary drive you can just put it in your computer and it will ask you to format it and you can go right ahead and do it if your installing an os it will format anyways and you shouldnt need any addtional drivers it should have the drivers and data already on it.

If your u8 has an operating system installed, yes, you can do that.
Be sure to boot the u8 in Safe Mode to copy your files.

I would also recommend checking the copied files for viruses before you use them.

It is "dead". I hope that you have a good backup.

If your external drive is connected to your computer, you can simply 'send to' or copy and paste.
Click on 'My Computer' and you will see the list of drives. You can then copy the files from their current folder and then paste to the external drive.
You can even 'drag and drop' the files!
Easy to do!!

No, installed software cannot be copied just like that. in order to use install software installed on one hard driver to another you must clone the hard driver and of course you may jot want to do that. You may copy the files but you will not get the software installed.

Open Winrar

in the address bar type the D:

all the file like

ravmon.exe
folder.exe
autorun.inf
found.000
smss.exe
etc

delete those by pressing shift + delete key

If it give you error then Reinstall the windows again and delete the previous one from c:

then do the following things that I said

And remember as you double click the d:\ the virus gets activated and your PC will become slower day by day

Use NOD 32 2.7 old version which is better then the latest version then update is

but one Important thing Please Vote me first

please run [from command prompt] cd /D <drive letter> then chkdsk /r if asks to unmount say yes. most likely cause of misreading of size are bad sectors on disk. this win subprogram will try to fix any it will find. hope it helps.

Hello mmincalgary:

This drive error code 7 means the controller board that controls the drive has failed, the board is located on the harddrive itself, Replacing this drive will solve your problem, unfortunely Segate has had many issues with this drive especially the SATA ver .7, 160GB versions..

the first boot sector of the hard drive is corrupt so fdisk wont work
please use software to repair the boot sectors zero and 63.
usually the softwares are superfdisk which is free on net.

also if you fail use seagate disk manager bootable version. it will be very quick and handy in long term too to format seagate hard drives

please edit through a dos bootable cd of windows 98. and it should have edit function on the cd. you can edit the boot.ini drive and modify the settings to boot from win xp32 bit by default, it must be second on the list.
if you cant succeed back up your important data from the drive and format the drive back up can be done by imaging softwares.

remove the jumper from the drive if its a i d e drve

do a low level format with a software from hddgurudot com its free software. run it and choose this drive for low level format.it runs through windows it will make a new list of bad sectors and add it to the p list of the hard drive company settings

datarecoveryfactory

use a recoverysoftware like ptdd and recover lost partitions
do not format the drive.
ptdd is fee to use.

if you dont suceed take more help from me.

it really looks like your hard drive is giving up on you. happend to me a few times so far (have a shitload of copmputers) and happends only with drives i get sent via UPS. when i order them via FedEx they last so long until i replace them due size limitations. Looks like UPS thoses them around harder. i thnk i read once that they drop the packages pretty much all the time from about 3 feet in general. create an image of your harddrive while you still can and just transfer it onto a new one and you will be all set.

Do you have the option to set the start time on the HD bios 1 second behind the MB bios? I think if you can find that option you will fix your problem. The Bios on your board will see the drive but during normal boot, Xp drivers take over to run the hard drive so if you can slow the HD bios to 1 second behind the board bios this will fix your problem.

Hello,

Wow! I hope no one was injured. If the info is retrieviable, I recommend intalling a new hard drive with an os install on it. Set the jumpers on the "flame" hard drive to slave, connect as a second hard drive and power on your system. Hopefully no flames and all systems go. You simply copy the file from the second drive to the new drive.

NOTE: Without reinstalling the software from a disk, you will need to point any apps that need the old file to the NEW location of the file. (i.e.- if MS Ofiice Word is on the old drive and you open a Word doc, you may need to tell the location of the MS Office file you want to use.)

Good Luck
