Hard Drive exceeded normal parameter?
When i boot my dell inspiron 530s, i get this message immediately before it begins to boot. " hard drive self monitoring system has reported that a parameter has exceeded it's normal operating range."
What does this mean?
I had windows vista on the machine before i began getting this error, i tried to reinstall vista but the OS wouldn't install for some reason, it had to do with the hard drive. So i temporarily installed XP which it has no problem with.
I really just want to put windows vista back on the machine or windows 7, but neither will install.
Any ideas?
