EuroFight Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Okay, update. After reinstalling Windows, the issue continued, so it must be a hardware fault as some of you suggested. Hence I have contacted Amazon.co.uk for a replacement drive. Following the trend of excellent support I have received from Amazon, they have agreed to send me a replacement, which should (hopefully) arrive on Monday. For now, I can keep the drive in my system in it's current (albeit annoying) state. Here are some screenies taken about 10 seconds apart showing the issue: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EuroFight Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Talking of Amazon's excellent customer support, having reported the issue yesterday morning, a parcel was delivered this morning containing the replacement drive! I'm currently installing Windows to see if the issue persists, but nonetheless, the support I have received from Amazon is outstanding.

EuroFight Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Looks like the issue was caused by a bad drive - the drive now works perfectly - and I have an increased read speed; I assume because the drive I was sent was an earlier model with 3 platters instead of 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
