    Hi,

    I have an asus A6Q00VC laptop, but it's not working anymore.
    I've brougth the notebook the a store but it had no solution.
    Now,i am afraid that they swaped the harddisk.
    The harddisk that's now installed is a seagate 100Gb. My doubt is that on the sitcker there is the "apple" logo. Does it mean that this harddisk if from an apple notebook, or is does it make part of the brand seagate?

    Assuming you didn't have the notebook HDD customized when you purchased it, I don't believe that Asus generally used Seagate HDDs in their Ensemble notebooks (I thought they use Hitachi and Toshiba), but I could be wrong.... Are you sure what HDD brand and size was in there before? I didn't think Apple brands their HDDs, but I've never taken the one out of my wife's MacBook to check.

    It's possible that they cloned your old HDD onto an existing Seagate drive from their shop to check whether your problem was a bad drive and then left it in rather than put back the original HDD. You could follow-up with the store to ask if they misplaced a HDD in your unit :).
