Hard Drive issue

I have nx6125-Just replaced my hard drive-seagate momentus 40gb 4200rpm(which was included when I bought lappy) with WD Scorpio 5400rpm 80gb blah blah. The problem is that Hdd Led is flashing still-after I turn on lappy until I turn it off it's still flashing :/ Found a guy with a same problem at HP forum but they didn't helped him:/ Switching back to momentus and the led blinks normally. Momentus was having a pin (you know master/slave stuff) but that Scorpio don't have one-of course the disc is working perfectly fine in Xp and linux-no problems...any suggestions/solutions?

u might want to check the drive properties to see if any option is making it working during idle (indexing, compressing etc ...)

Elghinyrr,

Please post the EXACT model number of the unit itself and the hard drives you are talking about, both the one installed that works and the one you are trying to install.

nx6125 + xxxxxxx
(There should be something like RB26UT#ABA, this is for the nx6325)

seagate momentus 40gb 4200rpm - xxxxxxxx (works, shipped with unit)

WD Scorpio 5400rpm 80gb xxxxxxxx



I'm wondering if the below may be related:
