My 3TB 4 year old HDD sounded like it was going to die for the past few weeks, so I took safety measures and decided to upgrade to a 8TB one. Here it is: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01M1BUBSO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I installed it, just unplugging the previous one with the computer @#$% down and restarted the computer. I got this message right off the bat :
Now the weird thing is that when I press F2 for the HP menu and then in the menu I just click Exit, my computer restarts WITHOUT ACTUALLY SHUTTING DOWN and it starts up without errors:
In other words, this message ONLY occurs when the computer has been shut down and I boot it up. If I restart it, it is fine.
The HDD is showing up and working just fine (though initially, it wasn't, I had to go to Hard Drive managment and set it up)
Anyone know what this error could mean ?
NOTE: this HDD is connected with a power cable and a standard SATA cable. This SATA cable of this HDD is connected to the SATA cable of the other Hard Drive (the SSD where the windows is) , I think this is called RAID mode or something. Also the 3tb HDD I upgraded wasn't the one that came with the computer. It came with a 1tb one and I changed it with the 3tb one shortly after I bought it. No errors though.
