spangler

Hello guys... thanks for all the support and i dont think there's a built in password but anyway thanks for your suggestion... it seems i found what went wrong... well anyway here's my conclusion from what i've experienced..

The HDD is not defected (so far yes, its not)... but the problem lies within the OS in this case... the vista itself... i've tried it on 4 four computer. 2 vista (home premiums and ultimate) and windows xp sp3.

Symptoms
- when i operate the HDD on vista, i can't format beyond around 300-400gb... if i format above that , it will failed. (using the disk management in-built)
- When i copy a lots of file at once regardless the size, it will stuck and freeze. I could still use my computer its just that i can't delete the process, i can't use explorer when that thing happened. Though when i copy it one by one regardless the size ,. its okay..

So i was curious and tested it on xp... yep it work great, no error at all. So the conclusion that i got is :
- Vista is not supported by the HDD or the other way around that vista doesn't support this.

if this is an error from my Vista please tell me how to fix it.. Thanks before and as a note... the file type that i am using is NTFS... gonna try what happen if i am using FAT32 .. though its the pain in the ass that i've got to reformat it on xp
