How to add a second drive to a ET1331

Member Posts: 4 New User

I am trying to add a second drive to my ET1331. The drive was a second drive from my old desktop.it is a WD 500 GB DRIVE.

 

When I install it and power up the computer I get to the BIOS screen with a notice about S.M.A.A.T.

 

The drive was working fine in the old computer.

    if BIOS gives you a SMART warning, your "new" HDD is not in good shape.

    "was working fine on the old computer" means nothing if your old PC's BIOS didn't have SMART check.

     

    Does SMART warning give you any specific message?

    ... S.M.A.R.T. Capable and Status Bad...

     

    Also getting a Watchdog warning and shut down

    Stop Code DFC WATCHDOG VIOLATION

     

    I have done a full format and am still getting the S.M.A.R.T. Message
