hdd clarification
ive read and some watched some articles about pmr / smr / asmr drives and i have perfectly no idea about them.
is a good thing , bad thing or what?
how can i tell if my hard drive belong to which category?
which one / what are the things do i need to look for should i want to buy a new hdd?
what are the indications that i need look for , for me to tell if drive is going bad?
not very hard to tell, you have one with a caution so that is a good sign there is an issue with the drive. 

does not mean you need to replace it right away, that is what backups are for. use the drive, if it fails replace it and restore from backup. or contact the drive vendor support and see what their criteria for a warranty replacement is, do the same thing if they exchange it, restore from backup. if you don't have backups today is a good time to start.
hi there floriann software,

first of all, i would say that it is always a better idea to open up a new thread, instead of engaging in an old one.

apart from that, as the drive is recognized on other systems except for the xp one, then it comes to drivers. make sure you go to the mobo's website and update the drivers.
is the drive initialized as mbr. in case it is initialized as gpt, i would advise you to back up all the data and initialize it as mbr. win xp has some limitations on that: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2581408

cheers,
d\_know\_wd :) you need to change the boot order so it checks the HDD before the floppy, cdrom etc...



btw a new pc means you will have to reinstall windows Are these disks part of some sort of RAID setup? It doesn’t sound like it is, in which case striping the drives would, if one of the drives failed, result in the loss of all files on the drives…that’s a pretty risky strategy in any environment, whether development or production. You might want to read up on RAID configurations before deciding how you want to reconfigure your drives. You can use third party defragmentation tools that have central management consoles to manage the tools, monitor systems and report on fragmentation levels. These tools have the ability to start defragmentation based on a schedule or a fragmentation threshold level (tool dependent). What they also do well is provide reporting on how things are going on the systems you monitor fragmentation wise.


Here is a comparison page for some of the major defragmentation applications:  

[Comparison of defragmentation software](http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_defragmentation_software)


The big three from when I did some research several years ago:  

PerfectDisk  

O&O Defrag  

Diskeeper


Keep in mind that Windows includes basic defragmentation. You can schedule this using TaskSchedule. Basic defragmentation does not defragment page files, hyberfiles and the like. There are some other free tools available that can do various items like page files. This all requires you to piece together and and devise your own monitoring. If you need reporting and monitoring purchasing it is always simpler.


If you can justify the cost of a managed defragmentation program, these will all do a good job. Test each to see how they impact system performance in your environment while defragmenting as well as their management and reporting capabilities.


  

First, don’t wait for your hard disk drive to be hardly used before defragging it. You have to maintain a certain defragmentation period as part of the computer hardware maintenance for your computer system. In case anyone needs it in the future:

Hello Nanda, Basically you need to include the network drivers and the storage drivers.

+ You can find the drivers from Manufacturer site where you can filter the Category and download –

Try to use HDD Regenerator, it is free for the first bad sector, sometimes that happen due to hard drive failure in the PCB (board) or due to excessive heat inside the laptop and it damage the disk, I had a lot of clients with this problem and unfortunately the most of the times, we can not recover nothing because the surface of the hard disk is really damaged, I expect you can solve your problem.

<https://www.mileniumcomputers.com/> When it’s plugged into the server it should show up in MyComputer with the next available drive letter assigned to it.


If you don’t see if there open up Computer Management and under disk management see if it’s there but without a drive letter assigned to it.
