Hi

I have a COMPAQ Presario 2019UK.

I have the 80gb sata drive that came with it and allso a 1TB samsung sata drive. SAMSUNG HD103UJ SCSI Disk Device

No matter which sata port i PUT the 1TB drive, whilst transfering data it will suddenly make the pc hang and disappear. I then have to turn the pc off, take the sata cable out of tyhe mobo or drive, reinsert it and reboot.

I know its not the sata ports as ive TRIED the 1tb sata on the spare 3 ports and it does the same but i never have any probs with the sata drive that came with the pc.

Ive changed sata cables and still the same.

Any idea's?It sounds like there is a problem with the drive itself

If you have access to another computer, you COULD test it that wayI thought maybe it would be....hoping it wouldnt be.

It came from a working PC and it never had any problems in that.

Maybe a heat issue problem??

At a bit of a loss with this one..

Im stumped.

It reports no errors, just has a heart attack when transfering data FROM it??
