Long story short; One of my storage disks, which I used to house downloads and games, mainly, is having strange issues. I opened the desktop to re-seat the CPU's heatsink bc the temps were high. During the process I cleaned the fans and what not. I did turn on and off the computer to ensure fan noise was within my comfortable range maybe this caused the issue.
Anyway; Upon booting into Windows 8 I was prompted, before the greeting screen, system is checking disk D, immediately goes to 100%.
Now in Windows, I navigate to the D: drive (which is the one in question) and it hangs. I checked the Sata connection and replaced the cable to no avail. Attempted dskchk /f D: in raised CMD, but it continually stays on checking USN Journal with no sector errors.
Finally I open PG Partition Manager and I was able to wipe the disk. Strangely NOW I am only seeing 700gb of unallocated space (Exactly the amount of free space I had on the drive before i started having these issue) the other 2tb have seemed to have vanish.
Any ideas?
Bios screen sees the drive as 2.7tb which is normal.
Windows sees the drive as .7tb
Thanks
