    Hdd smart error C8H


    Anyone know if this hdd smart error C8H is a serious one? i can find only litle details on this.

    I'd like to know this as i bought an old IDE laptop drive for a pentium 4 era laptop that needed a slight upgrade, then one day i discovered this error while just playing around with the laptop, there's 19 errors of this so far and i don't even know what it does, the hd however works just fine except for that error, no surface problems or anything.

    Serious or not, I wouldn't trust that drive any more. IMHO any SMART error is a sign of a impending drive failure.

Hi all!!! To make a long story short, I was being spammed by BSODS and lockups on my primary HDD, and in the end I decided to back it up to my external and retreat to my backup drive. FYI, the BSOD's were 'Kernal-power' errors. I also noticed a massive slow down. In the end I cloned my back...
