hello!
right now, my D: internal hard drive is detected in BIOS. it is properly identified in disk management by its name, size and type. I can access files and programs on the drive for some time. but after a while, I get errors like this:
D:\ /*FOLDER NAME or EXE*/ is not accessible.
The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.
or
D:\ /*FOLDER NAME or EXE*/ is not a valid win32 application.
when this happens, I am not able to access files or programs installed on the drive. the drive does not appear in disk management. in intel rapid storage, it appears as 0GB sata disk. if I RESTART my computer, the disk is not detected in BIOS. however... if I completely POWER OFF my computer, the disk IS detected in BIOS, properly identified in disk management, files and programs available.... back to square one!
windows 7 home premium
64-bit operating system
Z77 gigabyte motherboard
intel i5-3570k cpu
120GB CSSD-F120GB3-BK Force 3
2TB SEAGATE ST2000DM001 SATA3
- I have ahci enabled for my sata controllers.
- all IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers are up to date and appear to be working properly in device manager.
- I ran seatools for windows:
SMART - pass
short DST - fail
fix-all-fast - fail
- installed barracuda firmware for my HDD via the linux kernal.
- installed relevant intel drivers.
- installed all windows updates.
- tried switching ports (from SATA3 to SATA2), and tried using a different cable.
- tried running sfc / scannow and chkdsk /f in safe mode.
- tried repairing from the windows cd in case there were files missing from my registry.
- full virus scan with malwarebytes and bitdefender, nothing detected.
I'd be very grateful for your help on this!
edit: I posted a screenshot from computer management. is it normal to have the storage drive assigned as a primary partition?
