Hard Disk Problems

If you are having a problem with your hard disk, it could be the
result of improper installation, incomplete disk preparation, or
corrupted data. The suggestions in this section are divided into
three categories:

Installing the drive

Preparing the drive for use

Accessing data on the drive.

Consult the section that seems most likely to cover the problem

you are having. For example, if you have been able to use data

on your disk in the past but suddenly cannot, see “Accessing

Data on the Drive.”
