Hard Drives
How to fix my hard drive problem?
I just bought and installed 2 Samsung hard drives at about 750 GB each. Ever since I installed my new hard drives, I've been experiencing the Blue Screen of Death. Until now. It says that I installed a new hardware, etc.
I'm not sure what's the problem of my computer and I don't know if I should return the hard drive to the store where I bought it.
I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced this before? What is this problem? Any little help will be highly appreciated.

Hi all,
Every time I boot my PC, I always get this error; “Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
I tried to fix this problem with an emergency System Repair Disk but all of my attempts failed. I also tried booting while holding F8, and F7 keys but it all failed. The system restored to an earlier point but it could not be accomplished either. I tried to use the recovery console to copy my files across and this was the pop up error message, "access denied".

I recently got a problem with my Mac computer. The hard disk memory keeps on decreasing. The problem started occurring after I copied all the application folders from the Mackintosh hard drive to my Application Folder. A strange thing happened with the memory; it went down from a free 45 GB to a free 16 GB!! My VMware fusion does not run as normal as before. It kept displaying a message indicating that I had to free the memory, which I did by deleting all the files that I copied in the Application Folder. I went ahead and emptied the trash hoping that the memory would be free. To my surprise, the memory still has a 16 GB free remaining.

My hard disk is making some annoying noises, approximately 30 noise occurrences in one minute. The problem started when a friend came with an external hard disk, 250 GB. He wanted to copy some documents from my computer. I plugged in the drive of my computer in one of the USB ports and transferred the data.

Which is much better? A SATA or an IDE Hard drive? And why?
Yesterday, I went to a computer store to buy a hard drive for my computer. When I was at the store, I forgot to list down the system specifications of my computer. I was standing while waiting for my turn into the information where you will ask the specific product that you're looking for. When it was already my turn, I asked the saleslady what hard drive was the most saleable in their store. And the saleslady said, that the "SATA" hard drive was the one. And then, I suddenly remember the specific hard drive for my computer and that's a "SATA" hard drive.

Hello!
At the office, we have 2 divisions and one of the divisions had purchased a backup server. I installed a backup software in each laptop/desktop to synchronize with the server so that the software can automatically backup the server without help from the users. This is needed since most users are not exactly following the latest technology updates.
The other divisions were also permitted to backup the server but they need to purchase their own HDD and then the HDD will be added to the same server. The server is Dell PowerVault, if I'm not mistaken. My boss wants me to organize it, so the other divisions can start backing up their files to the server.

I have a device called SATA RAID and it has been working fine barely two days ago. But then, when I tried to access the partition, it says that it is inaccessible. I've installed some partition recovery software programs to check if the entire file was there. I think it's not a physical problem because the rest of the local drives are working fine. I'm not really sure why it suddenly became inaccessible.
It will be helpful if anybody knows of a program that I can install into Win XP, so that I can recover that partition.
