Hard Drive Problems or Perceived Failures:

A common problem which is encountered in systems, is Power interruptions which cause Boot Sector corruption of Hard Drives. If you encounter an issue where the system will not boot fully and you think you may possibly have a Hard Disk Failure, you should attempt a reinstall of the software using the USB Install Recovery option.

As long as you have a backup of the system, the above process will allow you to restore the Boot sector and software of a Hard Drive and reload. Then it is simply a matter of restoring your backup. If the drive is actually in a failure state, you can also simply purchase a new drive and reload it using this same process. We have found that in more than 70% of cases where it was thought to be an actual drive failure, that it proved to only be boot sector corruption of the drive and that the drive was actually fine and able to be returned to service. If you need assistance with the process feel free to contact Tecnhical Support.
