    Hi,
    I got my first drive and issues right away...... :(

    I used win7 image utility to get the image off my 320 Black no issue.

    Started up windows and problems right away. I mainly noticed also it gives off a high pitch wine too. Not sure if a defective drive or not but it has even cause my first two BSOD's.

    Tried it even as a data drive and problems there as well.

    Edit I am going to try it on my U81a, see if the same issues persist, here is to hoping it isn't a P7805 power issue..........

    Edit2; I tried the factory P7805 default install with the restore CD's. It restored but also durring the software installation froze...........

    Doesn't sound good Tanware, sounds like a bad drive.

    I think it is, the first 15% of the drive hagns all the time and the ballance of the drive seems to have issues as well............

    Here is HD Tune on my U81-a, Yucky.........

    Edit apparently this is hardware related not P7805, you can close this and I'll go over there..........

    Please do not respond here, I've moved this too http://forum.notebookreview.com/har...ket-upgrades/493911-horrible-momentus-xt.html
