POST Error Troubleshooting Verify there are no loose connections. Try different data interface cable and power cord. Check controller card if your computer has one: – Remove and reseat card. – Move card to different slot. – Test card in different computer. Verify jumpers have not been moved. Inspect connections for damage. Verify drive was not disabled in BIOS/UEFI. Try booting to another drive. Install hard drive as second drive in another computer and test. Download and run diagnostic software from drive manufacturer. For "operating system not found" errors: If you see hard drive in BIOS, try using operating system's bootable repair or recovery discs provided by OEM. Copyright © 2016 30 Bird Media LLC

Symptoms of Hard Drive Problems Bad sector errors Read/write errors S.M.A.R.T. errors Slow performance Copyright © 2016 30 Bird Media LLC
12
Slow Performance Troubleshooting Run CHKDSK to scan for bad sectors, verify file system integrity, and attempt to fix logical file system errors. Download and run diagnostic software from manufacturer. If hard drive is FAT or FAT32, upgrade to NTFS using Microsoft's CONVERT command. If running Windows, run Disk Cleanup utility. If running Windows, try running Defragmenting utility (Note: Most modern hard drives do not need to be defragmented) Move data interface cable to different port on motherboard.

35
Assessment: RAID Which of the following RAID levels incorporates disk striping? Select all answers that apply. A.RAID 0 B.RAID 1 C.RAID 5 D.RAID 10 A, C, and D are correct. Of the RAID levels listed, only RAID 1 doesn't use disk striping. Copyright © 2016 30 Bird Media LLC
36
Assessment: RAID The process of rebuilding a RAID drive from parity data can cause a RAID drive to fail. True or false? A.True B.False That’s true. Many times RAID drives are identical and were purchased at the same time. If one drive fails, the I/O intensive rebuild process could put enough wear and tear on another drive to cause it to fail.
