I have the problem on the same computer with any one of 4 newly purchased HD's. I can move them to the other lappy's and they never fail. On yesterday's 6:00-6:30 AM failure I turned off HT support in the BIOS. I have not tried it this way. This has been going on with 10.1 for 6-8 weeks. When I run the utilites before failure everything works great. But after the failure when I try to run them the machine just hangs and the only message it the one posted. Really strange.
