Hello guys good day to you!
My second hard drive had this issue few days ago. it came up suddenly and when i checked disk manager it showed dynamic disk invalid. after few restarts and plug and play it came back but day after the same happened and i was unable to recover it. i tried using HxD to try and convert it into a basic but it utterly failed. i think i changed the 1c2 location in sector 0. anyway after restarting i found out that i f*@#! up my hard drive doing stupid thing. it was all bunch of zzzzzzzz letters followed by ATA drive in task manager. after some tinkering i was able to get it back albeit without my data i had in it before. my questions are as follows.
1. what are the reasons for this dynamic disk invalid problem? why does it happen? does malware and virus play a part in this?
2. my second hard drive is now basic. hard drive checking indicates that drive is without any problems. but i fear if i put any data on it i might lose them again. is it really safe?
some information about my system you guys might need..
h61 motherboard
first hard drive is a sata 2
second hard drive ( one i had the problem with) is sata 1 ( might this be a problem? )
windows 8 pro 64 bit
Thank you very much for your time.
