I recently built a new gaming computer, after my laptop stopped working. I plugged the old hard drive into the new computer and many problems have arose from it. I have checked that the boot order is not the problem. But half the time my computer won't boot if I have the drive plugged in. Also, most of the time when my computer does get to my desktop, the drive is not listed in the disk management program, but it is in the bios. This is not the problem I wanted help with, because I did find a work around, just wanted to add it in case it's relevant.
The problem is, now when the hard drive is plugged in to my new machine, it's disk usage immediately gets maxed out to 100%, with very slow latency and no r/w speed being used, and every few seconds it jumps to a couple thousand kb in read and write speed. Also, it looks like the system is trying to read the drive so that it can display it, because where it says how much is formatted the amount keeps going up. When I plug it in, starting at 0 quickly going to 915 staying there for a long time before going to 931. Which brings me to the last problem, the drive will randomly disconnect itself, and so far, it has always disconnected itself before the format amount gets to 932gb(the drives full capacity). It slows down my whole computer, but more importantly, I can't even open the drive to look inside it. No programs are using the disk, and I can barely run any disk management tools to check on it. It took over an hour to run a "quick" smart test with wd data saver. I looked in the resource monitor and saw that there are like 100 different background windows services trying to write stuff to the hard drive. The largest processes are constantly changing, so there is not just one program or service causing this. Is there a way I can just universally turn off windows services for this hard drive so I can copy all the contents off of it?
I don't plan on using this hard drive after I get the stuff off it. I have try different sata ports, different sata cables, this isn't happening with either my system drive(ssd) or my main drive (hdd). When I try to open the drive with windows explorer it crashes explorer. And most programs that try to read/write that drive will freeze when I try to run processes on it, although usually they do eventually finish, and unfreeze. One process I see using a lot of usage it window/systen32/config/drivers, though it is only reading, which is what leads me to believe the system is trying to read the drive. In fact most of the stuff writing has very low values, and there are very few things reading, so maybe it is just the system reading the drive that is causing the slow down. I plugged in another old hard drive I have with about 300gb of stuff on it(500gb total capac.), and this didn't happen. None of the problems I listed happened on that drive.
oh, also, the results of the smart test seemed fine. I'm not really sure what most of the values mean, but it says it passed in all categories, although from what I could tell, it did seem like there might have been more than a few bad sectors.
