Hello,

I have a question, my friends hard disk drive disconnects all by its self randomly after windows 7 installation and then pc freezes because windows installed on that drive.
 
Solution
If it's a Seagate HDD, and you need your data, then read this thread:

It's possible that the drive is going offline when it bogs down duries retries and reallocations, in which case the solution may be to disable this behaviour.

I would check the SMART report. Look for reallocated, pending, or uncorrectable sectors. I recommand CrystalDiskInfo.
Hi there Licen,

As abhishekmpelite already suggested, I would also say that it is a good idea to try the drive with a different SATA cable.
Another thing you can do is to test the HDD with a brand specific testing software and check out the results of it.

Hope this will help,
