HDD crashed, can I ever trust it again ?
To start with, I inherited this PC with 2 SATA drives and 1 IDE drive. Jacked up from the beginning as it naturally boots off the IDE master then has to search out the primary OS partition on SATA 1, but that's not my real problem since it boots ok.
The problem is a 320gb drive on SATA 2, which recently garbled its boot sectors and crashed. It's now been reformatted as a single partition and seems to work ok again ( of course almost everything was lost) but my question is whether there is anything I can do to to protect it from crashing again?
I don't think there's anything physically wrong with it, it always showed in Bios just couldn't be accessed by windows. I edit video and use this as a cache for ginormous raw files which can't be backed up anywhere else.
I feel like I caught a really hot girlfriend who got drunk and started messing around with somebody else, you know? How to restore the trust....
