My second problem is:.....Disk two wich is my slave drive often it dissapears from my computer and not showing in disk management,if i restart it reappears in my computer and disk management, i checked the ide cable all connections everything are ok,i ran a diagnostics test on both drives they are healthy.Any ideas what the problems are?

 

Hello Gaston,

Did you run the drive makers diagnostics?

If not the drives, could be bad cables, disk controller, or even bad RAM.

Have you another system that you can hook up the drives to - either internally or externally, and run the diags?

The hardware people will look at this and give you more ideas.

 

Did you take the connectors out and reseat them (at the m/b as well)?

Look for an update for the motherboard chipset drivers. These are the drivers that run the IDE Controllers.

Go to My Computer, right-click on the drive -> Properties -> Tools tab. Run Error Checking with the boxes checked (may take several hours). Check each drive if you have more than one partition.

One thing about HDDs is that the information about the partitions and file system are held on the first sector of the disk. If you have corrupt information there you may need to need remove the partition(s) and remake them. The HDD manufacturers utilities are the best for doing this.

Hi Guys,
I done a diagnotics test on both of Wd hard disks with no errrors, i ran a memory test with no errors.I thing resetting the IDE cable from both hard disks and m/b did the job.I don't have anymore errors in the Event Wiewer, and my slave drive didn't dissapears yet....Thanks Guys
