messiah88 Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 This is kinda weird maybe someone can help I have 3 hard drives and the WD work fine no problems but the seagate is acting funny Everytime that I copy or extract data to the drive my CPU raises to almost 100% and sometimes my computer freezes. This only happens with this drive. I recieved a replacement awhile back but it happened again Now this is where it gets weird to me I tried to format the drive and start fresh One partition deleted fine but the first partition on the seagate drive gave an error like this: cannot delete. it may be configured as a system, boot, or pagefile volume, or, to hold a crashdump file so I forced deleted it and am formating right now to see if the problem persistes. The really strange part is I have a Trueimage of XP and after I Trueimage may WD drive 160GB I won;t have the problem with the CPU for a couple of days. Then High CPU again. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest erico Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 have you checked out the S.M.A.R.T. report from the HDD? Your drive may have a problem that a S.M.A.R.T utility can tell you about. Here is one of many utilities that use the technology. cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that an IDE or SATA HDD? cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 If it is a SATA drive, are you using the nvidia controller or Marvell controller? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
