    Hi guys, I'm in the market of buying a new notebook drive.

    I recently installed the 7k320 in my Lenov T400. I have been trying to boot-up Ftools to edit drive settings, but had no success, anyone know what the problem is?

    Basically, it just gets stuck on Ftools boot-up screen and stops responding at the "loading please wait". I have left the computer on fore more than 15 mins on that screen and no luck.


    Are there any other tools to modify drive features? I had no luck with HD Tune either.

    Hi.

    I had the same problem on my Samsung Q210 with my 5k320, I had to remove the drive and plug it into my desktop.

    What do you want to change?

    Regards

    John.
