Diminsion 8400 running Windows XP Media Edition
3.2ghz, 1gb, 250gb SATA
I experianced data curruption of some sort that resulted in not being able
to start Windows (missing config file). I could not start in Safe Mode. I
could not start even after booting to the recovery console and restoring
system files from the repair folder (config was not there, onfig.nt was but
that did not work other than to change the error to then complain about
'system' which i also tried to restoree. So I resintalled Windows along
with everything else*.
It seems to be working 100% but then I decided to run diagnostics on the
drive and got some errors.
Specifically, if I press f12 during boot I can select to start from the
diagnostics partition. When I select to test the Sata hard drive i am
presented with serveral tests (confidence test, self test, seek test, read
test, verify test, s.m.a.r.t test) which I ran. most passed but the
confidence and read tests produced errors. Specifically:
Error Code 0f00:1344
Msg Block 6635392 uncorrectabe\le data error or media is write prodected.
This does this for several blocks. It also produced a sililar message for
the smae blocks when the read test is done. The only dirrerence is that the
Error Code is 0f00:0244. Both say it could be an write protect error and
that makes me wonder if the Dell installed partitions might be write
protected and so this error is can be ignored.
Should I worry about this hard drive error (get a replacement drive and
reload the os agian) meaawhen everthing seems to be working fine?
* chipset, video, nic, audio, modem, tv tuner, windows updates, sonic my
dvd, cyberlink, norton anti virus, acrobat, office xp, office updates,
printer, java, flash, restore data, and flashed the bios along the way from
a03 to a06.
