Serious Hard drive issue Inspiron 9300
Hi guys, I tried posting some of the other side effects related to this before with no luck. I've narrowed my problem down to this.
I get a serious performance drop when writing larger amounts of data to my laptop hard drive. After a while the cpu usage shoots up and I notice I get these errors repeated in the system event viewer:
5 event 11 errors-
The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk0\D
Followed by 1 event 5 error-
A parity error was detected on \Device\Ide\IdePort0
Microsoft's answer is that the cable is failing and to change it - how do you do that on a laptop?! I know the hard drive is good as I get these errors on fresh windows installs on both the original hard drive and a new replacement.
Am I looking at a motherboard replacement? I tried Windows vista but the errors came out even more and stopped it from working correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
Ed.
