I've recently aquired, due to some bad sectors on my old wd2000jd hdd, a new Wester Digital hdd: wd2500ks and now I have both hdd's installed in the system.The problem is that now I can't access the smart information on the old drive (using either the wd diagnostic tools,speedfan or sisoft sandra). When I launch the wd diagnostic tools, the program detects that I have 2 wd2500ks hdd's and it provides the same smart information no matter what drive I choose.
I have an asus a7n8x-e deluxe motherboard with an onboard sata controller (SiI 3112a) with the wd2500ks on the first channel and the wd 2000jd on the second one. Now if I put the wd2000jd on the first channel and the 2500ks on the second one then the wd diagnostic tools report that I have 2 wd 2000jd hdd's which is very weird. At boot time the sata controller detects both hdd's just fine and there's no problem detecting the hdd's with either windows or linux.
I need the smart info on the wd 200jd hdd because before I had bought the new hdd it was reporting that it might be failing, it reported that the hdd had a lot of reallocated sectors and it failed the raw read error test.
So how can I correct this?
