One bricked HDD ruins the other?

[Aelric]

I was just playing the Kingdoms of amalur demo when I crashed to desktop and got a message saying that suddenly, without warning, my larger, storage only drive had gone bad, and that I needed to backup my files and system data. I tried to do just that, but in every drive combination I tried I was unable to backup. So, I rolled the dice and reset.

Suddenly, I was unable to boot up at all, literally nothing past the BIOS. The BIOS claims my system drive is still detected while my storage drive in now off the grid. I've tried the nuclear option of reformatting and installing a fresh Win7 with my disc, but that claims that I cannot install to my drive. I've tried physically unplugging the SATA cables in every combination and that does nothing either. I'm literally stuck in BIOS, only able to go to windows disc install and then hit the brick wall on every option combination there.

So, the basic question is this: is it possible that both my HDDs, purchased and installed at different times, both bricked in the same instant? Should I just go it a new one like the HDD recovery instructions said before I hit reset? The windows error message was literally a "contact the manufacturer or install a new HDD" With two drive, neither able to take a windows reformatted install, I don't see many other options.

Any spitball opinions you guys got before I go spend money on a new drive? and on that note, what kind of recovery options would you recommend for my bricked drives if that even possible. I'd like to get my photos back if I could, but I've pretty much made my peace with them being gone forever.

Could be a bad power supply unit.

The strange warning sounds more like a virus, though. When and how did you get this message and what operating system are you running?

You should check the health of the drives using either the manufacturer's software or the Disk Utility on the Ubuntu Live CD.

It even stranger now, as now I can boot it up if I hit F1 at the hardware startup and skip a CHKDSK (CHKDSK freezes at 59% for hours).

I can get to my desktop and it detects the HDD that the BIOS doesn't even detect and and even run programs and games installed to the "bad" drive, though windows still chimes in saying that HDD is about to fail.

After some time, or when I try to move files over from the secondary drive to the primary, it'll disappear from the basic "computer/My Computer" window and close down windows explorer, making me reboot, but as long as I skip the CHKDSK, I can get it back for a time.

I am starting to believe the virus theory, especially since I've just got microsoft security essentials as my anti-virus and for some reason can't turn windows defender on. i usually give my computer a weekly scam with that, supplemented by spybot S&D.

Just as a bit of extra info, if it matters, I'm in Bangkok, Thailand and the power grid here has been really surging a lot here lately with 2 second long blackouts two or three times a day. I have surge protectors with isolated fuses, but I know there is no 100% protection on that.

I've only got free antivirus as an option, as my Thai bank account doesn't offer online purchases. If that is the situation, are there ant free antvirus you might recommend?

BTW, I'm on Win7 and now that I've got my desktop back, here is my dxdiag of my specs:

Oh, as far as the how on the strange message, I got it through windows action center. It wasn't some random popup like I've had in my more naive days, where my computer said bad words in German and scrambled my screen.

[Aelric]

Also, not to spam my own comment, it's the ST31500341AS ATA Device 'D:' drive on the dxdiag that is the one claiming to be going bad. I also use USENET on occasion, to my shame in some regards, due to the availability here in Thailand.

Sounds like your Seagate Hard Drive is on its way out. You can download the SeaTools utility and run it, but if I were you I'd backup any critical data from d: drive and prepare to replace it.

Makes me happy someone acknowledges that. Too bad Kilgore has a 'leak' right now.

Here is the message I'm getting every 30 minutes or so, not copy/pasted but typed by hand, so forgive spelling errors and whatnot:

Windows detected a hard disk problem

back up your files immediately to prevent information loss, and then contact the computer manufacturer to determine if you need to repair of replace the disk.

Menu options:

start tha backup process

ask me again later

Details:

Immediate steps:
Because a disk failure will cause you to lose all your programs, files and documents on your disk, you should back up your most important information immediately. Try not to use your computer until you have repaired or replaced your hard disk.

Which disk is failing?
The following hard disks are reporting failure:
Disk name: ST31500341 ATA device
Volume: D:\

I reset again this morning and the BIOS didn't detect the 'good' HDD and windows refused to even format the 'bad' one. Not being able to leave BIOS, I figured I'd just go grab a cheapish card and if it all worked out fine, then hey, I've got a three disk system.

While inside, I discovered one of the two fans on my GTX 260 is busted clean off, so I've got to see if there is a cheap way to fix that, a I don't really need to upgrade quite yet (still plays anything I throw at it fairly well.


I wound up buying a 1TB seagate for $100 and am formatting and installing windows as I type this. As for data recovery, do you think one of those $30 usb to SATA cables would work, or should I take the drive to a shop? Or, are is my data gone and lost forever?

Either way, I've learned my lesson. From now on I'm backing up to external media. I guess that wraps up the main issue. Thanks to those that gave an opinion  and data recovery advice would be appreciated, or an explaination or theory as to the mysterious cause of all this (the hardware was only about three years old). Cheers.

Buy a Zalman cooler. Just check for compatability.

You could just mount it as a fourth hard drive and then get the data off. Don't bother bringing it to a shop, they'll just do the same and probably charge you by the hour. Unless they're somehow specialized in data recovery but then they won't be charging going rates.

By the way, I hope you didn't mount all those drives right on top of each other without any cooling. That might explain the failure in the first place.
