Installing second hard drive (320 gb Seagate Barracuda 7200.10) to Optiplex 755
I have an Optiplex 755 running Windows XP Pro off a 80 gb Western Digital SATA HDD. I recently purchased a 320 gb Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 SATA HDD (ST3320620AS) to install as a second hard drive. The BIOS recognizes the drive...Seagate DiscWizard successfully partitioned the drive...Windows XP Pro recognizes the drive & partions...all seems normal, except, everytime I boot the computer I get an error "
HDD replacement is not valid, continued use may result in long term HDD reliability issues." Dell, Seagate, and Norton diagnostic software does not indicate any problems. I have made sure that all Dell-related drivers are up-to-date. I have also changed out cables, and jumpered the Seagate down to 1.5 gb/sec, with no success.
Any suggestions?

When a secondary hard drive is purchased, a new bezel is installed on the chassis which provides space inside the chassis for the secondary hard drive (Figure 1). The floppy bay is no longer available with this bezel.
...
In the event that the secondary hard drive must be replaced, the replacement drive must be a Western Digital or Samsung because of thermal constraints in the chassis. The BIOS automatically performs a check at POST, and the check stops at an F1/F2 prompt if an invalid configuration is detected.
A message appears (Figure 1) that informs the user of the invalid configuration and allows them to choose to continue, knowing there could be a long-term reliability risk to the HDD or ask for a redispatch."
My situation is that I added the 2d HDD, so I don't have the correct bezel. Looks like I need to swap out the 2d HDD for a WD or Samsung, or go eSATA, or buy a different form factor.

unfortunatly there information is not complete - I put a 1TB WD drive in - and am getting this message. I do have the latest bios (A09)
Just checked - the first drive in the system (as delivered by Dell) is a seagate ...
so I guess even though I added a WD drive, I should replace the Seagate one if I want to stay within the thermal limits ...
