Whatever reserved partition was coming in between, is that a sign of some crap waiting to happen? I took screenshots, will post some ss's once it is up and running
Thank you so much
@patkim and
@whitestar_999 bhaiyo, I owe you a cold coffee. Haven't installed all of the apps as was busy and the system was updating. Installed asus mobo drivers after installing windows but asus utility, using which we can update g\the driver, increase or decrease fan speed, can keep an eye on temps etc. is nowhere to be found. Any fix?
So, it seems that resetting the rtc and taking out the cmos battery did it. Did the dust mess it up in the first place? Next time onward this is the troubleshooting step to be followed in the first place.
I would like to share an experience, the wd guy told me that after dropping the hdd to the drop point it will take a maximum of 10-14 days for the replacement drive to reach my place. When I went to that drop centre, it was a whore house, sorry to use that word. It was completely empty and inappropriate things were happening behind that door. None of my business. When I handed over my drive I was given a print out which said "Conditional Acceptance" and below the same it was written that hdd needs to be physically inspected as some (technical word, can't recall) wire is broken and the hdd is mishandled or something, will try to find that letter. Anyways I confronted her because my drive was like new. She said its normal. But I took photos from every angle in front of her. More than 20 days passed but there was no sign of the hdd. The ch*tiya wd guy kept on telling me that the hdd is still in transit. Shooted some mails to their management and this guys manager called and said that a. my drive needs to be physically inspected as it was accepted on conditional basis because of the damage and b. the drop point will send them the drive when they have a like 5-6 drives. For point a I sent her the photos which I took in that drop centre and for point b I said if another customer comes after 5 months, then will they wait for 5 months just to send my drive to them? Radio silence. Resent some mails and after few days I was told that the replacement drive is on the way and this process should have only taken a maximum of 7 days. She said that the wd guy is being given proper training and that they are taking internal action against the drop point and in the end got 6 months extended warranty as a token of apology.
Moral- Read every point written on the receipt. Take photos of your device, be it a phone/drive etc., in the service centre/drop point itself.
Edit- It's a 4 month extended warranty, 2 months were left in warranty they gave additional 4 months so a total of 6 months.
