hello,
after I copied the system from my old hdd and my new Samsung 850 Evo 250gb, the computer started acting strange. but after some tries I managed to get it work by setting the paging file from the automatic settings to managed to system in Windows 10. I also set up ahci by starting up in safe mode, setting up ahci in bios and rebooting. everything seemed to work fine. I also decided to setup paging file on the old hdd. after a while I got a bsod. I don't remember what did it say but I remember reading "kernel" I rebooted and the hdd was gone. not even detected in the bios. I tried changing sata port and it seemed to work. but then, after some reboot, when I tried a reboot another time, Windows got stuck in the spinning wheel telling it's rebooting. I forced the pc to sleep and.. again, no hdd in bios. if I cut the power and boot again the disk is detected, but only for a while. if I try to access to the files I get I/O error, and again, hdd not detected after reboot. I switched to ide mode, same error, I unplugged the ssd and started the system with old hdd. it starts, but then error.. and hdd not detected.. if I connect only the ssd and the other storage hdd (a third one that has always worked) everything seems to work fine (no pc beep tho.. but maybe I unplugged by error the beep thingie while unplugging the hdd near it.. I hope..)
so..
tl;dr can a paging file on a mechanical drive break it while on ahci? it's possible that an ssd could make a hdd unusable or it is all just a coincidence and the hdd had to fail? what could cause an hdd to not be recognised in bios?
I hope I could go back having everything to work. or at least understand what happened..
thanks
