At the start of September we had a power outage, my laptop was unfortunately plugged into a plug strip. Upon startup it said it didn't have a partition, not a huge deal, basically restored the drive and everything seemed fine. Until I started taking my laptop over to my brothers house for gaming nights/weekends, and it started having problems with the drive, namely not seeing the HDD (Was using a 128 GB Crucial SSD and 500 GB HDD), it randomly would work fine, then stop seeing the HDD which is where I kept most of my games. So we assumed the slot or the drive was going bad, and chose to have a Crucial C300 256GB SSD in one slot and it'd run off of that.
So we used backup data from right after the power outage in September, suddenly the drive that was seen in other machines, and my asus on the install, could no longer be seen, we've tried multiple ways to fix this drive, but to no avail. So we thought it was something on the backup data, and we decided to use this other Crucial C300 256GB SSD instead, and have a fresh install of Windows 7, It went fine, until it stopped unexpectedly at 65%, shut it down, brought it back up, and did a reinstall, got to 100% and was on the last step of Completing the Installation, and now it cannot be recognized in ANY of our other machines.
Wondering if anyone can tell me it's a serious Virus I picked up, or if it's my machine that's destroying these Hard Drives? Also it'd be awesome if someone had any suggestions as to what I can do to fix them if possible.
