Hi, i just recently, two weeks ago, got a bigger secondary hard drive for my computer, so i transferred all the files from my old one over, so that i could give the old hdd to my mom. Today, my hard drive suddenly started acting funny, first when i tried to open steam, which is situated on it. Steam would not run or open properly, as well as other executables. I restarted my computer, and when i tried to run steam again, it did not, but my entire secondary hard drive disappeared, as in, i could not even find it in disk management. i shut my pc down again and restarted it, and this time chkdsk started working automatically on that drive. I let it go until it was finished, but it did nothing but keep my hdd missing from view. if i restart and choose not to run chkdsk, the hard drive would appear, but be slow and unresponsive, and i still could not run exes. pictures would open, but that is all. and after a few minutes, the whole drive would just pop out of existence once more.
I have not installed or downloaded any new programs since switching hard drives, but i did have to make a new user profile and transfer everything over to it. also, i have windows 7 on my ssd, not the bad hdd, if you needed to know that.
