The Irish Mitsubishi FTO Owners Club

Have a HP pavillion and it had a hard disk problem (made worse by me powering it down every time it froze)
anyway there was an arror like hard drive error #1-04
swapped the hard drive with my other old Pavillion and a emssage came up saying imminent hard drive failure
ran a scan on the drive i'd just put in and the same error came up

did i just break another hard drive?

Its more likely to be a problem with the controller on the motherboard. HP are know for their rack of dodgy boards a few years back.

oh christ, looks like I'll be using the mobo from the old one, swapping over the better RAM, processor and cards, yipee.

That would be the way to go alright..
