Ah yes, something i overlooked. Thanks nobus.<br />
So when you get to the stage of testing the hard drives in another computer that you are sure that works, use the tools that nobus pointed out as well again.<br />
<br />
This is just to make sure that the hard drives have been tested in a working environment as well, if they failed testing in the original system of course.

Experts - I am getting the below error when my HDD boots:<br />
&quot;1720 Smart Hard Drive Detects Imminent Failure&quot;<br />
The only options are &quot;F1&quot; or &quot;F10&quot;.<br />
<br />
I changed out the HDD with the original HDD (perfect condition) I still get the same error.<br />
<br />
Any thoughts?<br />

1720 Smart Hard Drive Detects Imminent Failure

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.

Desktops

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.

Hardware

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
