20 Most Recent Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 ST380011A 80 GB Hard Drive - Page 3 Questions & Answers

i have done this alot for my customers and its really simple. if you look up your drive and get the jumper settings for it and set it to cable select or master in a one drive enclosure it will work well. i do not recommend putting it on slave because some enclosures will not recognize the drive, I do recommend having an enclosure with a fan on board and an external power switch. the reason it the fan will extend the life of the drive and the power switch eill allow you to power it on and off without having to flatten (power hot swap) the drive. Hot swap is ok but this is better than just unplugging the drive. removing the power from the drive keeps the drive in park until you re-power. as long as the drive is "parked" it is les likely to cause read/write sector errors.
If you have any problems let me know and please leave positive feedback for me. Jethro

One bad lead can cause a computer to continue on a cycle or to shutdown or fail to detect your hard drive Test the leads that attach to your ((hard drive from the motherboard)) or replace all the leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions + IDE,SATA and the ones that attach from your ((motherboard to hard drive)) make sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd 3 1/2 inch floppy have secure connections and are not faulty even the electic extensions or just replace them they are probably old and faulty a computer needs its connections to have an end so any faulty leads will end up with a computer error hope this helps

You will have to go to the Seagate website and download the drivers from there for it for your operating system.

I am afraid the device is dead. You may be able to recover the data from a professional recovery firm but there is no other way.

Best thing to do is to format it. If it does not format, then the hard disc needs to be repaired.

remove the side panels to access your computers hard drive
put an earth ******** to earth yourself before proceeding
there are 4 screws 2 either side of the hrd drve
unplug the electrical lead followed by the IDE/SATA what ever applies
have a good look at the plastic jumper & the pin settings usually located at the rear of the hard drive next to IDE/SATA lead before removing anything
then place the new hard drive in rembering to look at the plastic jumper and its location
plug the electical & IDE/SATA lead in
restart your computer

hope this helps

After a hard drive crash, replace the unit. Hard drives are replaced preventatively, in business applications.\
they just fail.

During the boot process you will see on the screen to press delete to enter setup Press and hold delete during the boot up process to enter BIOS you can load failsafe defaults or load optimized defaults ,press escape then press f10 to save to cmos to restart then once you have your computer running try uninstalling a few unnecessary programs then click start run type cmd then type chkdsk/r/f which will scan for and attempt to fix any bad sectors and automatically fix any corrupt files on your hard drive then defragment your hard drive hope this helps

You can go to a scrap dealer or approach radio-shack and find a simillar board.

you might have to physically unplug the disk drive then plug it back in this should activate the found new hardware wizard or
control panel administrive tools computer management device manger scroll to disk drives + to expand if you see your drive right click you will have options update driver ,uninstall,scan for hardware changes,properties in the properties tab you will have more options in the general tab you can troubleshoot, in the driver tab you can update driver,rollback driver,uninstall driver

Hello, what exactly is it saying? most likely the smart has detected that the drive is performing poorly and that there are bad sectors which are unreadable. Basically this is a warning a head of time, the smart has detected that the drive will fail soon in the future, maybe a month or few, and you may start loosing your files / getting data corruption.

Now would be a good time to back up all the content from this drive to a external hard drive and then replace it to a new one. These drives can not be repaired at home. It would have to be sent to the manufacturer, and well, 80GB drive, not worth it, you can get a new drive for 50$ which will be much larger than this one.

let me know if you have any other questions or if you need anything else.

What is it reading?

Note that 74.5 times 1024 times 1024 times 1024 divided by 1000 divided by 1000 divided by 1000 is 80.

So, if you use base-ten arithmetic, you have an 80Gb disk,
but if you use base-two arithmetic, you have a 74.5GB disk.

HELLO, YOU JUST NEED TO CHANGE THE JUMPER SETTINGS AT THE BACK OF YOUR HARD DISK TO SLAVE.THATS ALL

The disk-drive has "died". Is its warranty still valid? If so, Seagate will replace it, at minimal cost to you.
