BlackMesa Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 My newly bought Seagate Barracuda - 80GB seems to be malfunctioning. I seem to be getting memory loss and a whirring noise whenever my PC Memory is stretched. eg. When playing CSS/HL2. Can anyone enlighten me towards the solution to this topic?

BlackMesa Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 An error messages appears stating: Error: \device\Harddiskvolume4 has failed to store memory. This could result in memory loss or could be due to faulty network connections/incorrect hard drive configuration. I checked my HDD config and all seems to be ok..
