Ok so I put together this new computer (windows 7 pro 64 bit) with an Intel board (DX79SR). I moved my old SATA drives to the new machines, and have a new SATA 3 drive as the boot drive (C:\) . My old M: Drive keeps disappearing from windows. Its not in Windows explorer, or in the Disk Management area. When I reboot, it comes back. Then as I’m trying to copy stuff off of it (don’t trust it anymore) , it disappears again. When I boot, it comes back. Another thing is that if a “restart” the BIOS hangs. If I shutdown and startup cold, the computer boots up fine (except for the disappearing M: drive).
Is this a disk controller issue, or an HD drive problem?
I really don’t want to have to rip the computer apart and ship the motherboard back to newegg. Please give me some good news..
