Hi everyone!
My computer is a year old. When I built it, I used a new harddrive for booting, but also stuck in my harddrive from an old computer in G: as the slave (I think that's the term? I'm still new to hardware lingo). This old hard drive is a 6 year old Western Digital . . I have this SpeedFan program that said it was running pretty hot compared to the new drive, even though I rarely accessed it and just kept it there for back up.
In the past week, my computer is suddenly taking much longer to shut down and start up. Usually it takes less than a minute, but this morning it took over 30 minutes!
I went into the event viewer and found these errors and warnings this morning:
- The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Ide\IdePort1.
- The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk1\DR1.
- The default transaction resource manager on volume G: encountered an error while starting and its metadata was reset. The data contains the error code.
- The device, \Device\Harddisk1\DR1, is not ready for access yet.
- An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\DR1 during a paging operation.
- The system failed to flush data to the transaction log. Corruption may occur.
- The default transaction resource manager on volume G: encountered a non-retryable error and could not start. The data contains the error code.
These errors repeat over and over until finally, after the last error message, it says:
- One or more of the Plug and Play service's subsystems has changed state.
. . then my computer booted as usual, but that old harddrive in G: no longer shows up!
Before booting up, I tried unplugging and replugging the harddrive in but still didn't work.
I scanned through the events and looks like the errors date back to June, but back then, there were only one or two errors and didn't seem to stall the computer at all and my harddrive still showed up. I think it's only in the last day or two when things started really stalling that my G: drive disappeared.
So does this mean my old hard drive is toast? Or do you think it's something else?
Thanks in advance!
