Hi all,
I have 2 drives in my PC(c: and d) which ran fine until today.c:/ is primary OS and d:/ is for data
When I boot up my PC today,it took so long to boot up,>10 mins.
When it finally booted up,everything I tried to do(e.g. clicking on folders,virus scanning) took so long to respond that I gave up.
When I managed to open up My Computer,I realised that my d: is there but I cannot access it as it hang the whole PC again
So what I did is I removed my d drive and wala,the PC boot up instantaneously and ran normally like before,however plugging it back will make the PC hang in every task.I have tried plugging in to another port and changing power source and it is not working.
So I would like to ask:
1.)Does that mean my d drive is corrupted?Why would having a corrupted drive freeze the whole PC even though this is not a primary drive?
2.)Anything that I can do is access and recover my files in d:/ ? I tried chkdsk and it is not working as once the drive is plugged in,it will hang the whole PC
3.)I am thinking of plugging my d: as a external drive to see if I can run a repair to recover my files,any programs that can run and recover my files?
