[SOLVED] Hard drive keeps wiping itself

[Jimbob1]

So for the second time randomly when my PC is on, my hard drive will go undetected but shows up in disk management and asks to create a new partition. I have ran crystaldisk and it says the health status is good. I really don't understand why it's happening as it's a 2 month year old hard drive.

It could be that your windows hard drive is not detected by BIOS. Go into BIOS before your computer starts, and then find Primary IDE Master, Primary IDE Slave, Secondary IDE Master, and Secondary IDE Slave. If they are set to "Not Detected", simply set them to "Auto" and restart your computer. If they are already set to "Auto", it might be a different issue.

IDE Master/Slave has no use in a SATA setup.

Oh, okay. I was assuming his HDD was IDE in this instance.

The issue is still occuring and I've had to recover the partition a good 3-4 times.

Get whatever testing tool the manufacturer has, and test it with that.

I have, and it's stating the drive is 100% healthy and there's no bad sectors.

Try other SATA data/power connectors, and, a different mainboard port...

Beyond that, perhaps the drive is actually faulty.

When I switched the PC on today, a beeping noise came from the computer itself so I'm assuming it was the hard drive as that's where the sound sounded like it came from.
