I have a Dell xps m1730 that I recently bought a new HDD for. I got a WD scorpio black. I used Macrium reflect to image over the old drive. After some light use I noticed some problems with my system.
Services on my comp would fail, I'd get messages saying some file somewhere was corrupt or missing, and everytime I restarted my comp would want to do a chkdsk procedure. Also every so often the drive would lockup in the middle of normal vista usage and the HDD access light would be solid and the system unusable for a couple mins, or I'd have to just force a restart.
Did I get a bum drive? Missing drivers, bad image?
I've also tried a complete clear reinstall from the OS DVD with similar results. I made sure to install the drivers for the HDD at the beginning of the install from the resource disk from Dell.
I have windows vista ultimate 32 bit.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
