Today I was installing software from my computer to my phone and suddenly my screen went black. I saw the AMD boot logo and then instead of booting to windows, I got a message saying it couldn't find an OS. So I threw in my windows disk and tried a boot repair with no success.
I popped the drive out and put it in an enclosure and put it in my work computer and was able to see all of my files.
So I put it back in the PC, booted in to bios, (played around in there for a minute but didn't see anything helpful so I exited without saving. After exiting the BIOS Windows started right up.
Fast forward an hour I was copying a file from my PC to an sd card when it said "Can't copy file due to an unknown error" a couple of minutes later, explorer crashed. I tried a hard power button reset and after the AMD boot screen I got that same message informing me that the OS was missing.
So I played around in the bios for a minute. this time the bios didn't even recognize my HDD.
I popped the cover and pressed the HDD to be sure it was tight. No boot.
Finally I took out the HDD and let it sit for a minute.
When I put it back in Windows booted right up.
Why is my HDD disconnecting istelf.
How do I tell if the problem lies with the disk or with my PC?
If it's the PC, where is the problem? is it a bad connector or is it a software issue?
