I'm hardly sure where to begin but i will try.
I recently got my hands on a few sata HDD's (( hurray for poor 400gb limit me!))
When installing them.. i of course tested them in Hirens and cleaned them up before loading them into my windows. But every single drive has the same problem. ((or rather, windows does))
Windows wont recognize them on every boot, if at all. The boots it does recognize them in, when i try to access the drives it simply takes forever, then locks up, leaving the drive spinning. The times it dont i looked in disk manager... sometimes the drive is there, sometimes not. Same with Device Manager.
Things i have noted:
The unchanged drives that have been in the system remain fully functional.
The drives all recognize in Bios flawlessly.
The drives all recognize in Linux flawlessly.
The drives all recognize in Hirens flawlessly (mini xp, mini linux, and mini 7).
They are often missing from windows disk manager and device manager.
The Disk manager can get hung up on the virtual disk service. (the process and dependency's are running when this happens)
Furthermore
This problem is presistant in both of my windows installations. i have one windows 7 that i use regularly (32) and one i keep as a back up that is loaded only with drivers. (64) Both of these are on the same drive, and are on sata channel 0.
All attempts at anything i have done...yields a locked up system, sometimes followed by a failed boot... or no yield at all.
In my ten+ years working on pc's ive never seen one do this..
Spec:
xfx 680i lt sli
Pentium D 3.0ghz (stock cooler, im poor. lol)
9800gtx+
4gb ram
600w PSU
2 dvd drives
2 WORKING hdd
2 120mm fans, 3 led each..gotta have mah perdy blue that i never look at.
1 HDD fan for drive 0 (set on low)
4 usb in use
1 audio plug in use.
Dual monitor (only 1 in use during these problems as per my settings)
PSU findings in bios, all consistant:
3.3v = 2.80
3.3v dual = 2.80
+12v = 11.88
+5 = 5.06
+vbat = 3.02
I will post further should anything new come up, aswell as the solution should i find it. If you have any idea's let me know.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read my crap, hehe
