Ok so recently i have been having this problem. When i started windows a few days ago it said could not detect hard drive so i tried restarting it then it loaded windows from the other hard drive i have and couldnt detect my main one.Still didnt recognize my main hard drive so i decided to switch them around. Sometimes my hard drive gets recognized other times it wont. It is also very loud i defraged it as well. Is this a sign its going to crap out soon?
its IDE i already did try that causei switched the hard drives with each other. ITs an 9 year old computer as well lol.
lol ive been trying to i got rid of a lot. But now my other hard drive didnt recognize out of no where today only once its real weird. and my dvd burner doesnt recognize blank dvds anymore at all it says blank cd when its inserted computers acting all weird lately.
It is almost starting to sound like a chipset issue; if all drives have problems on all ports, then all your drives might be just fine.
