Today it won't boot and, on Googling the model of the HDD (HTS541616J9SA00) *and* "NCQ" I see numerous mentions of improperly implimented NCQ and page titles such as "One more Hitachi HDD to add to NCQ Blacklist". Yesterday I just Googled the HDD model number, checked the spec sheet and saw it was claimed to support NCQ. I only hope that a clone copy of this HDD onto a better HDD will work as I deleted the partitions on the source HDD when all seemed to go well. We can also add into the mix the stupidly-designed SATA-to-planar cable that this laptop uses is getting flakey - I had to re-seat it a few times yesterday (and tried again after errors). http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03291169 The SATA connector was designed to be a universal connector that can handle multiple insertion cycles. I've had nothing but trouble with laptops that insist on having a connector between the HDD and planar over the years - you'd think they'd learn! This one is particularly fiddly and fragile. Cross your fingers for me. I'll likely have to steal a HDD out of another working laptop to use so I'll need to do at least two clone cycles to see if I can finally get this thing running right. -- Shaun.
