Check the hard disk indicator LED. When you access a file,
the LED lamp should light up momentarily.

The new HDD may be defective or is not compatible.

If your computer has been subjected to static electricity or
physical shock, you may have damaged the disk drive.

The hard drive is making abnormal whining noises

You should back up your files as soon as possible.

Make sure the source of noise is indeed from the hard drive
and not the fan or other devices.

The hard disk drive has reached its capacity

Archive files or programs that you had no longer used by
moving them to an alternative storage medium (card reader,
etc.) or uninstall programs that are no longer used.

Many browsers store files in the hard drive as a cache to
speed up the performance. Check the program’s Online Help
for instructions on decreasing the cache size or on removing
temporary Internet files.

The hard disk takes longer to read a file

Interrupt requests or problems with other hardware devices
may have occupied the CPU and therefore slows down the
system performance.

The display panel is blank when the system is
turned on

Make sure the computer is not in the Standby or Hibernate
suspend modes. The display is turned off to conserve energy
in these modes.

The screen is difficult to read

The display resolution should at least be set to at least
800x600 for optimal viewing.
