From: Brian K on 1 May 2010 01:00 I don't blame you for not knowing about the Dell HPA issue. It's not widely known and I've never seen it mentioned by Dell. Can someone correct me if Dell has information on this issue?

When cloning a Dell or any manufacturer's OEM drive with a restore partition you need to do it Sector-By-Sector due to hidden files on the drive." No kidding? That's called disk imaging. Try Google.

Daddy, You are being a bit hard on Mike. The Dell HPA issue isn't widely known and Seagate's advice was bad. |
