I moved all my PC components to a new case the other day, plugged everything back in exactly how it was in the old case. Since ive done so when i went to my PC my 3.5 inch WD Black wasn't showing up. I went in to see if it was in the bios, it wasnt. So then i load back into windows and head over to Disk Management and I can see the device there, but its Unknown, and Unallocated. I tried going Initialize Disk and was getting I/O error. So I opened up diskpart and tried from there and was also getting I/O error from within there.
Finally, I opened the case up while the PC was on and unplugged the SATA power connection and then replugged it back in and the HD worked... until i shut my computer off. Then to get it to work i have to unplug it and plug it back in to be able to get to anything saved on the drive. Whats the deal with this? I never had problems before in the other case, now this is just a headache! What can i do to make it work when i boot my computer without unplugging the sata power and plugging it back in?
