Seagate Baracuda 7200.7 in a RAID0 array has failed. On Drive diagnostics Drive test get error message "Drive Failed! Return Code 7". What is the drive error?

The drivers for vista and windows 7 are probably the same. As long as you performed an upgrade and all your original programs and data are still there. there is no point in updating drivers unless you are expieriencing problems.

I would suggest running a diagnostic test of the hard drive in your tablet. While the majority of hard drives fail after 3-5 years, they can occasionally fail early on as well.

If you are unsure of the manufacture of your drive, I would suggest running the seagate diagnostic as it is not brand exclusive.

If your hard drive has in fact failed, it may be covered under a manufactures warranty.

It is also possible that the drive has become disconnected within the tablet or that the sata connector on the motherboard has failed.

I had the same thing happen to me. I wound up replacing the hard drive I am still looking to figure the access part to retrieve files though.

Try uninstalling the driver and reinstalling the driver.

It appears your hard disk has died and it may not be possible for you to retrieve your data.
Remove your hard drive from the laptop and insert it into an USB harddrive adapter, (they are not expensive and you can use it later as a external hard drive). Then plug it into the USB port of a working computer. The computer should/may see it as an external drive, if you are lucky you will be able to copy your data, if not, you are out of luck.
There are companies that can recover data from faulty hard drives, but it will cost you an arm and a leg for their service.

If you have both a CD drive & a DVD drive, make sure you are using the 1st physical device (according to physical hookup).
Or if you do have both, then try booting with CD in other drive

Form the info you provided, you have a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) disk array. RAID 0 (striped disks) distributes data across several disks in a way that gives improved speed and full capacity, but all data on all disks will be lost if any one disk fails. Apparently Diagnostics has determined that “Drive 2” is defective. You will have to replace the defective hard drive and reload the Windows operating system.

Thank You.

If the following determines you have hard drive failure then you may have to purchase a new HD. Follow what is recommended from the manufacturer below. READ EVERYTHING.

According to Seagate the makers of Maxtor, you have a DiamondMax 10 (6L080M0). See below or click here

My internal hard drive may be defective, how can I test it?

Question

My internal hard disk drive may be defective, how can I test it?

How can I determine if the problem is with my system or with the hard drive?

It is necessary to run the SeaTools, SeaTools Enterprise, or SCSIMax diagnostic before contacting Technical Support 1.800.SEAGATE (1.800.732.4283) on an internal drive that may be defective.

Answer
For Seagate or Maxtor (or Quantum) ATA drives:

If this is a Seagate or Maxtor (or Quantum) ATA or SATA drive, please download the SeaTools for DOS diagnostic to test it. If the drive is failing, the tests in SeaTools for DOS will indicate as such.

If the BIOS does not recognize the drive or the drive does not spin please reference Answer ID: 48

The operating system will not recognize a drive that is not formatted and partitioned. If you need help with formatting:

Windows 9x and ME reference Answer ID: 3076

Windows 2000 Answer ID: 880

Windows XP Answer ID: 3361

Windows Vista Answer ID: 3844

Macintosh Answer ID: 492


For Seagate SCSI drives:
Please download the SeaTools Enterprise Edition diagnostic.

For Maxtor (or Quantum) SCSI drives:
Please download the SCSIMax diagnostic.

SeaTools, SeaTools Enterprise, and SCSIMax will test your S.M.A.R.T-compliant ATA, SATA, or SCSI disk drive for media defects, perform a read test, physical head test and ensure the hard drive is functioning correctly.

If all the tests pass (no trouble found), the problem remains elsewhere in your system. Reconfirm all settings for hard drive jumpers, cables, and ATA, SATA, or SCSI controllers, and disk operating system. Consult your host controller documentation or system manufacturer for assistance with SCSI termination or ATA / SATA controller capabilities.
