Hello there,
I make this post in order to find out whats wrong with a friends computer, In the last few months he has bought 3 different hard drives (SATA):
1. Western Digital 500gb
2. Replaced Western Digital 500gb
3. Brand New Hitachi 1tb
The first went bad within the first three months so he got it replaced, the replacement lasted approximately 2 months, and the New Hitachi... 30 days. All the HD's had bad sectors on Partition "C:"
His computer specs are as follows:
500 Watt PS
Gforce 8800GT
Intel Quad Core Q6600
4GB DDR2
The first 2 drives had Windows Vista 64-bit on "C:", and The Hitachi had Windows 7 64-bit. He also has an External IDE HD that has never had any problems. He cant afford to be buying and sending Hard drives back and forth and its pretty frustrating to keep having to loose data over and over again. Any help as to what the cause of this is and/or solution will be GREATLY appreciated.
If More information is needed i will gladly post it, thanks in advance;
