    I had a used 8 GB drive installed. My 20GB drive conked out.
    When the scan runs I get this message,"Scandisk cannot read last Cluster on Drive C. This cluster is either damaged or the system is not configured properly. Drive C may need to have LBA enabled. Data loss can occur if LBA setting or disk partition type for this drive is misconfigured. Check your computer Bios Setup Utility. Is this something that I should attempt? Where do I find The Bios Setup Utility and how do I know whether the LBA is enabled or configured correctly? I don't even know what brand used drive or anything else about it. Thanks for any help you can give me.

    LBA is enabled on the Harddrive in the Jumper Pins. Depending on the Manu. of the drive, check their website, or do a search by manufacturer and "Hard drive jumper settings" in the query search.
