hox Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Hi I purchased 2 p256 drives in May and have used one in my desktop and 1 in my laptop. The desktop one seems stable . In my laptop, an acer 3810t, win 7 64 ultimate, 4gb ram, intel graphics. In this laptop everything has been running fine since I installed it in May. The laptop is sparingly used and kept in a desk when not in use. When I tried to start the laptop about a week ago, the drive was not recognized. Three restarts and the drive was finally recognized. The machine ran fine after that. The same error occured two more times this week and then today, while using the laptop, windows crashed and when I finally got the system to restart, I checked the error and it said that the hard drive had stopped working. I have the firmware update offered last spring on the drive and like I said it was working flawlessly for months now. What should I do? Many thanks for your suggestions, Hox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 28, 2010 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 28, 2010 Please test the drive in another system and I would try and secure erase it with Parted Magic and try it again. But if that keeps happening please use the link on the left and request an RMA and we can replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
