Hi all
I have bought a 1TB Seagate Baracuda HDD 3.5" Sata III- ST1000DM003 as a data drive for a old PC which is running Win 2000. The Pc has only one HDD which is 230GB in size, containing win2000 and data and is full. It is enabled for large disk sizes.
I installed the new drive, set it up and the started copying data to the new drive and after a couple of minutes it crashes with a device error. Did this a few times.
So I removed the new HDD and put it in my win7 system, reintialised and formatted it again and tried copying a lump of data to it again. And again it stops with error message:
Error 0x8007045D : this request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.
While writing the new drive is not loud but does sounds a little scratchy.
I am thinking my new HDD is faulty?
Any thoughts please
Thanks
