IDE connected internal HD keeps 'write protecting' itself. Ideas?
Hi all,
Ok, quick bit of background: I was previously running Windows 7 on an IDE Seagate HD (Master) with a second HD for all my music/audio work (slave).
I had no problems.
I've recently treated myself to a new Crucial M4 SSD which is now my C drive, with Windows and all my apps installed. I'm using my old seagate drive as a back-up of this (cloned) and my old audio drive as before - all my music and work.
Should work fine - but my Audio drive is now write-protecting itself. I've tried wiping and re-formatting the drive, which worked until I restarted and the write-protection returned.
I've tried using the 'diskpart' command and again, worked only temporarily.
Frankly, it's driving me nuts as this is my 'work' drive and I need to be able to write to it / delete from it.
Any help would be hugely appreciated!
