Hello I have this problem where all of a sudden the HDD light does not turn off, the light is on but not a full solid color but a faint red light, the problem started when I disconnected my faulty DVD / Burner drive because it was preventing my PC from booting up correctly, or if I am gaming the PC freezes all of a sudden. I monitored my temps via msi afterburner everything is normal I also noticed that the DVD drive disappears and re-appears on windows explorer. The freezes happened for already three times, I cleaned my Ram, Checked my PSU, scan my HDD for viruses and checked for errors all are NORMAL. I then realized that my DVD drive is really old and its connection as well as function is faulty so I disconnected it, that solved my booting and freezing problem. However a new problem surfaced wherein my HDD light stays on! I monitored the activity of the HDD and everything seems normal, I played games all was normal but I think windows is constantly searching for an optical drive? I booted up in BIOS still same problem HDD light is lit. Please help my HDD is WD101EZEX also the light turns off if I re-connect my Faulty DVD drive which I CAN NOT AFFORD TO DO SO cause it would freeze my system again! but I have no idea if this constant red light indicates that my HDD is running and would degrade soon
