I bought a new PC last week and over the weekend installed a Crucial SSD and used a system restore set of DVDs to install the OS (Windows 8) on the SSD and removed the OS from the 2 TB HDD.
All worked fine until this morning when I booted up successfully.
I attempted to copy a file to the SDD and I received a message saying the file or directory was corrupt and unreadable or something along those lines.
I then tried to reboot and the PC failed to reboot and took me to a HP repair screen menu.
Choosing a DOS prompt from this repair screen I see the following:
The C drive now appears to be the 2TB HDD
D drive says 0 ALREADY_SHRUNK.FLG
E drive says The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable
F drive says 0 ALREADY_SHRUNK.FLG
I can see both SATA Drives via the BIOS and ran tests on BIOS and on the HP Repair tools page and they both report there are no problems with either hard drive.
Note I also updated the OS to Windows 8.1. This appeared to work fine too.
The only thing I have done today that I had not done before was to attach 3 external USB drives to my new PC and to install DropBox. I was able to see all 3 of these correctly when I first booted up this morning. I have attempted to reboot now without these attached with no success.
Any ideas what the problem could be or what steps I need to take next?
Thanks
Paul
