As it says in your screenshot, you may have a damaged cable connecting your hard drive to your motherboard.

You'll need to open your case and check for a loose connection or a damaged cable.

how will i know if it is damaged

how will i know if it is damaged

Well, just have a good look and see if it is frayed, check the connectors at each end of the cable and make sure the connectors on your motherboard and hard drive don't show any obvious signs of wear.

If in doubt, buy a new cable and try that - they're not very expensive.

If you really don't feel confident in tackling the problem yourself you'll need to take your computer to your local repair shop or get a computer-savvy friend to check it out for you.

i check the cable and conector to hard drive to motherboard and they look fine no wear also this error i have will it make the hard drive fail and all my data lost

 

[Wicca]

also the worst is 200 and the data section has a value of data 1

 

[Wicca]

also my two hdd is connected to sata 3 and 4 on the motherboard and sata 1 amd 2 are free

Just get a new cable. Or try to use a different SATA port. Besides this is an error that occurred during a transmission between disk and computer. You won't lose Data because whenever there is a transmission error a re-transmission is requested.
Data already store on your drive isn't affected until altered.

so basical this does not suggest a hardware failure so my hhd is fine then

 

[Wicca]

also the data is 1 and worst is 200 so is there much point in changing if the data is only one

 

[Wicca]

changeing from sata port 3 to sata port 1 will that improve speed or not

 

[seavixen32]

You're not being asked to buy a new hard drive, just try a new cable.

 

[Wicca]

i have a question the data is value 1 so that is not bad also what can happen if i do not change it

 

[Wicca]

also i have read that the data 1 means it happenend in the past i have run bench test and the number remains at 1 is it possible i had my power supply changed with a comp tech changing it is it possible that error came before and now it is fine the cable i mean do i just monitor the drive maybe the cable is fine now right as there is only one data

 

[Wicca]

coz i think when my power supply was changed the cable was changed and as the number never goes down so there is a chance it is fixed right and how do i know if it is not

 

[Wicca]

is ti the SATA Cable is for connecting your motherboard to a hard drive. is that the cable that need it

[Wicca]

replaced cable no lucky still warning there sure it is only data 1 so it will not impact me at all right

You mentioned you recently had a power supply upgrade, its a long shot but try moving the SATA cable away from the power connectors. It might be an issue of interference

Also maybe get some canned air and give the SATA connections a quick spray out. Also try combinations of various SATA cables and mobo ports. Be sure they're all the way on and not almost all the way
