Windows detected a HD problem
Hi, I am using a Dell AIO PC: Inspiron One 23 WLED Touch Screen PC.
I keep getting this pop-up saying "windows detected a hard disk problem" from windows. I also get a warning from in DOS from Dell saying Hard disk problem. I've attached two screen shots of the software used. The HD is a SG 1 TB.
Prior to that, the machine came with 3 partitions (2 usable, 1 system restore) and no problems. I decided to remove all the installed crap, delete all partitions and make just one partition and reinstall everything again. Here is when I got the error problem.
When I try SG SMART test, the test just freezes there. Did the long test and updated the HD firmware as well. The long test was fine. Firmware installation was fine as well.
Is this really a imminent HD failure?
