New HD Killed Old One?

Limehouse · 3 Sep 2006 at 16:59

Is this possible? My old hard drive became dodgy a couple of days ago, when i installed the new one, which is a seagate 7200.10 250gb and that one works fine, but the old one fails the device self test, read test, SMART test, Start Unit Test and Confidence test.

Is it knackered? And now is it a case of copying the files and a new xp disk?

i might as well just use an xp disk i've got, rather than faffing around the internet. besides this pc doesn't even have a cd drive right now.

ok, the real question was is the HD ******, it looks that way.
