Some vendor-specific external drive enclosures (e.g. Maxtor, owned by Seagate since 2006) are known to use HPA to limit the capacity of unknown replacement hard drives installed into the enclosure. When this occurs, the drive may appear to be limited in size (e.g. 128 GB), which can look like a BIOS or dynamic drive overlay (DDO) problem.
In the case of the latter, however, the computer will not be able to boot, even into safe mode. [2] [3] The only way to resolve this problem is to boot into another device and then uncompress the files from it to make the system bootable again. In late 2009, several new reports of the black screen in Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 ...
Disk cloning is the process of duplicating all data on a digital storage drive, such as a hard disk or solid state drive, using hardware or software techniques. [1] Unlike file copying, disk cloning also duplicates the filesystems , partitions , drive meta data and slack space on the drive. [ 2 ]

However, S.M.A.R.T. parameters alone may not be useful for predicting individual drive failures. [16] While several S.M.A.R.T. parameters affect failure probability, a large fraction of failed drives do not produce predictive S.M.A.R.T. parameters. [16] Unpredictable breakdown may occur at any time in normal use, with potential loss of all data.
A master boot record (MBR) is a type of boot sector in the first block of partitioned computer mass storage devices like fixed disks or removable drives intended for use with IBM PC-compatible systems and beyond.
The UEFI (not legacy boot via CSM) does not rely on boot sectors, UEFI system loads the boot loader (EFI application file in USB disk or in the EFI system partition) directly. [1] Additionally, the UEFI specification also contains "secure boot", which basically wants the UEFI code to be digitally signed .
