I have a Dell laptop running Windows 10 preview. It has a 128GB mSATA SSD and a 1TB SATA HDD. Every time I tried to upgrade to the latest build it would reboot and do a full surface scan on my mechanical drive that lasted hours and then would reboot and roll back to the previous build saying that the upgrade failed.
Finally on my last attempt to upgrade the filesystem got corrupt and would hang on boot. I had to put the HDD in another computer and write zeros to the drive so that I could boot from the cd without the computer freezing.
BTW, other computer's BIOS said that the drive has failed the SMART checks.
Put it back into my dell laptop and do a clean install of Windows 10 Insider Preview and everything seems to work, but I did a check with HDDScan and this is the SMART results:
It says it failed the Raw Read Error Rate (001) and Current Pending Errors Count (197) and UltraDMA CRC Errors (199) have warnings. However no reallocated sectors.
A bug in an early build of Win10 issued some command that prevented the drive from even spinning up. I had to use some bootable cd to get the drive even be recognized again. Don't know if that caused the errors or if it is actually failing.
I don't really care about losing any data on it. It's only even in this laptop so that I can boot windows from the mSATA drive. BIOS will only boot from SATA so it reads the HDD first before booting.
