Vic Mackey Posted May 22, 2004 Posted May 22, 2004 hello. ok i really need your help. i bought a WD 74GB 10krpm hard drive from newegg.com a while back and i have had to reformat 5 times now because every now and then for no reason when it boots it says "Can not find windows/system. please repair" or something like that. now the last 2 times it failed it says "Delayed Write Failed can not find documents/settings/desktop.ini" and it also will go and list a whole bunch of other files it has lost. Why is this happening!!!!!! it works fine the night before and when i turn it on next day it will happen. sometimes it happens within a few days of last format or it could be a week or 2. this is really annoying. im about to just get a 7200rpm drive from maxtor over at microcenter and forget it. newegg.com also wants the original shipping box for rma and i dont have the box anymore. got any suggestions? thanks.

silentsoundguy32 Posted May 30, 2004 Posted May 30, 2004 yeah sounds like a bad drive to me... which is odd because getting a bad raptor is very very very rare since they're basicaly SCSI drives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
