I've subsequently tried 2 other drives Seagate 5400 (160gb and 120gb). Rang Dell and they reckoned there could be power issues with the 160gb so I tried a 120gb but still no grief - end up after a few days with a flashing cursor top left. So I'm interested in your comment saying you can't replace your dell laptop hard drive? What is the story round this? Cheers Rob Mike,

Laptop hard drives should all be made the same way. You can’t replace your Dell laptop hard drive though if you want to upgrade to a better one. Laptop hard drives should all be made the same way.

Try this as it worked for me--remove the cover to the harddrive and write down the specs printed on the sticker of that drive. replace the cover and boot up your bios screen. Find your drive configuration and MANUALLY enter the specs off your harddrive. save changes and reboot. My laptop came back to life--hope yours does!

Is it under warranty? If not then you should definitely replace the drive ASAP and hold on to it so you can try and recover the data off of it with software. If there isn't any data you want to keep, then just replace it. Tina,

They found that although newer hard drives can benefit from cooler environments, middle aged and older hard drives actually perform better at temperatures slightly higher than normal. Just something to keep in mind. Actually, Google has recently published results from tests that they have done.

I think they are finally starting to put as much energy into the stability of disk media as ariel density. I know Western Digital is producing more solid platforms as are other drive manufacturers. I think the consumer will pay for quality. I believe there is a market for quality. Not just percieved value like designer jeans but the extra dollar for a platform that has higher quality components. Nothing is more importnat or more vulnerable for that matter than the data we store on our hard drive. The media is contains the only moving parts in the PC aside from heat fans. I believe consumers would pay twice as much for the same capacity drive that is less likely to fail. Just my thoughts.

I have also noticed the external hard drive manufacturers have also made an effort to better ventilate their products, as well. However, the best drive is a drive that is backed up.
