1.	Solve : Hard Drive strange problem...?
Answer» HI! Ok well here's my problem, I have 3 hard drives, and one day when i booted my pc took 6 minutes instead of one to boot, moreover, one hard DRIVE wasn't detected, I turned my pc off, disconnected the hard drive, and when i booted again, my computer took the normal 1 minute. I tried changing the Sata cable, and i made shure my BIOS was set on auto detect, but i still can't detect my hard drive, and my computer still takes a long time to boot. Do you have any ideas? Thank you!Does the drive show up in the BIOS when it's connected ? ? Is there an OS on that drive ? ? How old is it ? ?No the drive does not appear on the BIOS There is no OS on the drive only media (about 400gigs of media >.< ) the drive is about 3 months oldQuote the drive is about 3 months old Do a RMA right now! so you dont think ill be able to get my data back?
