I have a Dell Power Edge 2950 running on Ubuntu. Is there any program that i can run to check my hardware because i had a Error message E1810 HDD disk failure. i remove the disk and put it back on but i still have the same problem

There's a couple of reasons that could give this message. The primary is simply hard drive failure and it need replacement. If it's an ssd you can still get the message even if it's read by the bios and OS, but the ssd is no longer reliable (happened to myself).

Check your wire connections and if the problem persists pull the drive out and scan it in a cradle with a different PC if your machine won't boot and you're unable to install a HDD health scan program.

Any external HDD casing will do, just take it apart and remove the OEM drive and put the drive you wan't to look at in the cradle and connect it with the USB and run a HDD health scanning program to be certain. (I use HD Sentinel but there are many others)

Good luck!

Jan 24, 2013 - ... I can clearly see the hard drive with issues because there are amber lights ... PE2950 E1810 HDD Fault ... With 6 physical disks on a PERC 6, you could have a RAID 5, 6, ... 1) "RAID 5 Logical Volume 0"... so yes, RAID5 Smiley Happy ... errors as Texican ("Drive Fault - Assert" and "Critical Array - Assert").

Ask a locksmith. There is no other way.

The problem is your computer is not compatable to run the Ubuntu operational system, it comes up not supported. But you can go online to forums that deal with these types of problems, because there are a lot of people out there that swear by this system.

2000-0142 and 2000-0146 are hard drive SMART errors, indicating the HDD will fail.
To boot message about the AC adapter was a BIOS level message that normally appears when a Auto/air ac adapter or other 65 watt ac adapter is used to power the system.

What Operating System are you running - if Windows what version XP, vista, 7? When is it shutting down, after you get into Windows (or other OS) or when trying to boot up? Are there any error messages? New machine or old machine - if old has anything changed? How long does the system stay working before it shutsdown? Is it getting too hot, fans blocked etc?
Lets start by working out if it is the hardware (Dell and devices connected) or the software (Windows etc) It is difficult to know without more details of the problem but here are my best suggestions
Try safe mode - running windows try in safe mode (F8 when starting windows), check error logs
Test the hardware - I would start by disconnecting all external devices, USB disk and other devices. If possible also remove any extra boards you have added to the machine. Even the mouse, USB sticks, anything plugged in (but leave the keyboard). Try this, do you get the same problem.
Test the OS - If you have a live CD such as Ubuntu (can be downloaded from here: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download ) then try booting the system from this and see if you still get a problem
Can you run a virus checker on it, how long does the machine stay running. You can try downloading from here from another machine - http://www.avg.com/us-en/avg-rescue-cd-download and making a CD, run the rescue anti virus.

Your probably got one ofthe following:

1. har drive crash
2. Hdd controller failure

Ether witch will need replacment parts and that you would see a local tech for if you do not know what your doing. You might need a new hard drive or acontroller in this case.

Thanks and please do be considerate and leave postive feedback ratings.

This points out to a problem with one of your hard drives. Run CHKDSK on all drives you have, & if any problems are detected on any drive, run CHKDSK /F on that drive.
