Second HDD freezing and now not showing
Hello!
I have been looking for solutions but there are so many different problems coming up with the keywords "windows 7 freezing" and none of them seems to be helping me.
First of all my specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit with latest updates
P4 3,0GHz
1,5 GB RAM DDR2
Nvidia 6600GT (Image settings with preview set to auto)
Hard drives:
Prime 160GB (~30GB OS partition + ~120GB)
Slave 500GB ( ~40GB + ~220GB + ~220GB partitions)
Both are sata2 seagate hard drives.
So the problem is that the second hard drive is "rebooting" all the time. I can hear it "gathering up rpm speed" and then stopping over and over again. Usually it happens when i'm listening music with winamp from the second HDD and trying to copy something from the drive to a external drive. Happens sometimes even with just listening to the music. Winamp freezes and so does the whole PC for about 10 seconds, sometimes more. I can move the mouse but all apps stop working.
Yes, i have tryed changing power options to max performance. Didn't help.
So today for the first time the 3 partitions from the second HDD were gone from My Computer.
Event viever critical errors under applications (really noob at EV):
Event ID 257
The volume Esimene (J:) was not defragmented because an error was encountered: The disk was disconnected from the system. (0x89000011)
So was the other ~220GB Drive
Event viever critical errors under system
Lots of Event ID 7 The device, \Device\Harddisk1\DR1, has a bad block.
Followed by Event ID 15
The device, \Device\Harddisk1\DR1, is not ready for access yet.
Then 11 and 15 againg
PLEASE PLEASE oh PLEASE someone help me. Thinking on going back to XP but that would not be a solution.
