I have two 1TB SATA hard drives installed, one is new (got it yesterday) and the other one is fairly old and has been failing for awhile. Both of them have windows installed however I'm using the new HDD to boot up. Upon booting up, DFDWiz.exe pops up and gives a message saying ""Windows has detected a hard disk problem". When using the old HDD to boot this message would pop up frequently, but on this new HDD with a fresh install of windows the message is still popping up.
Both of the hard drives are plugged in; I just want to make sure that the hard disk problem is with the old hard drive and not the new one. I ran Seatools and the new drive passed the S.M.A.R.T test.
So my question is; is the coast clear? If my secondary SATA drive is failing, will DEFWiz.exe still say the drive is failing even if the main drive is fine?
