Intermittent Problem -- C: Drive Not Recognized

 

 

I own a studio XPS 435T.  From time to time, the computer does not recognize the c drive during the bootup process.  When I run the utility, I get the following error:

 

Device Initialization Error

Error  Code 5D00:0009

UUTUSBTM - Device Initialization Error

 

Can anybody help me solve this problem?

 

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

John,
I started experiencing a similar problem with my XPS One a little over a month ago. Things gradually deteriorated until my hard drive would not allow the system to boot into Windows and chkdsk could no longer repair all the bad sectors on it. Dell's diagnostics didn't find any problems with it even after Vista Startup Repair & chkdsk had consistently identified errors on the disk. Long story short: your hard drive may very well be starting to fail. I'm not sure which utility you ran that resulted in the error code you posted or during which test that happened but if you've got important data stored on the drive now would be the time to back it up to some other media.

After many long and frustrating calls with Dell Support and runnning all the diagnotic programs several times, I reimaged my hard drive.  So far the problem has not reappeared.  Back everything up!

I don't know if you ran all the same hard drive utilities I did that identified a large batch of bad sectors on my original drive or what the results were on your system but if any of them did show a bunch of bad blocks/sectors on the disk then I'd be backing up files as I went along from now on. No telling when the drive could fail.
