I have a 3tb baracuda as an HDD for my games / movies and a ssd for my OS. When I have the baracuda plugged into the bay the computer takes around 4-5 minutes to start and I have sound skipping and mouse skipping. If I remove the HDD everything is fine. I checked the partitions and I appear to be completely missing F, Its there in my computer it just doesn't have XXGB free of XX and its constantly loading looking for it. I have tried formatting and it just sits there forever. What can I do?

I finally managed to format the F drive it took 3ish hours to complete in windows safe with cmd. Everything appears to be working fine, but is my HD actually dying?
