Dell don't make hard disks; they buy them from the same places
as everyone else: Seagate, Maxtor etc.
 
Dell has a hidden partition that they add to the hard drives
they buy and install. The function is to allow Dell
software to install. I suggest that you call Dell and
discuss the issue.
Any hard drive that meets the supported specs will work, I
think Dell uses Maxtor drives.
