Solve : Magical Disappearing & Reappearing HDD? |
|
Answer» I'm not in the UK...at least not today. QuoteThe Drive is a Maxtor 6V00E0 189Gb SATA HDD. The drive has just failed the SeaTools Long DST test [edit] & the short DST [edit]. Whatever that means. You should have bet on it, I would have owed you money. The drive suddenly died yesterday after nearly a week of smooth running. Any ideas on what to do about Windows activation? As now I need to activate my copy of XP. The program says that my copy has been activated too many times (well duh its over 5 years old and seen its fare share of computer UPGRADES) and the PHONE line says: "Sorry there is a fault. Please try again".I don't beleive it! My DVD drives gave out as well. I just finished a repair for a customer where i had to image his failing HDD to another one to rescue what i could... Imagine my suprise when i got the activation notice as well. A HHDD is not a major hardware change yet i still got the notice. I clicked on activate and chose activate but do not register and it worked fine. If you are still gettting the prompt after trying this contact the Mothership...if you're legit it's a painless process... Good Luck XP PRO BTW with all updates. |
