Hard drive error upon booting

Go to solution Solved by StillerMarcel,

Does the message appear in the bootup process or in windows? If it's appearing in the bootup, try disabling secureboot.

I have my Windows 11 home OS on a internal SSD in my dell inspiron 3520, but I also installed a HDD from my older dell latitude (forgot the model number) and wiped it, before I installed the older HDD, the older dell laptop still had this problem, but upon booting it shows an error message for the hard drive saying it's operating outside it's normal parameters. Hard drive works fine and even reinstalled windows 10 on it, but that error message upon boot is becoming annoying. Any troubleshooting tips to get rid of it?

Have you checked the configuration for the port, the HDD is connected to? Maybe the warning appears because a wrong SATA speed is misconfigured.

It's a dell laptop, bios is very locked down 😕. Had the same issue with the laptop that this came with even however.

 

Edit: The laptop the HDD came with originally was even running a whole other version of windows, it was running windows 7 pro and same error.

Can you check, if ther is an option saying something like SATA-Speed? Usually there should be kind of a setting group for Sata config in either the tab Hardware or advanced.

There is not

Don't know what I did but it wasn't letting me navigate bios menu, I pressed f9 and reset bios to factory default and the problem solved itself. Thanks!
