    Well a full format and new install might help since you have all data backed up. I might try that, or if you can use a recovery partition, I might try that first.

    yeah but poor me I don't have any partition back up already lol, only option that I can restore is stock with alienrespawn
    I'm gonna try right now,thank you for quickly help :)


    I've just use Intel Matrix Storage Manager and right click on Port 0 which is error on my system, I've just stick it with normal mode, restart and everything go right but i'm still confused if that is the hard disk physical error, how can I test it, by software? oops google now lol


    Edit : I test with diagnotic in window, I've got some probs like that
    The master file table's (MFT) BITMAP attribute is incorrect.
    The Volume Bitmap is incorrect.
    Windows found problems with the file system

    I tried to resolved that but it looks like nothing happened, Anyone has any suggestions? Should I call dell for replacement that disk? thanks

    You could try reinstalling the OS again. Full format and reinstall. If it fails or errors again. Then yeh call dell and get the hard drives replaced. I had a similar issue like that last week and did the same as you lol. I was lazy. So just right clicked it in intel manager and said no errors lol. Still using it fine now. Must have been me moving the notebook around a lot lol.

    I want to get some SSDs soon. :p ;)

    Also if you run the diagnostic test make sure you jot down the error codes so you can easily supply them to the dell rep on the phone next time. Then oles if should speed up the hdd replacement.

    Cheers. :)
