Will it work afterwards? Unplugging power and sata from hdd or ssd

[mancream]

I just bought a whole new build and every time I unplugged my hdd to add on another computer or back to mine it would not work. Errors, corrupted for sure. Is there a way not to have this problem?

and will it happen to the sdd? I want my old hhd on my new rig, forgot to plug it in but would just boot repair keeping all the files?

Open Disk Manager and disconnect the drive here before unplugging.

Another way is inside your bios, you might be able to enable SATA hot swapping, which will allow you to much more freely plug in and out.

I'll remember that next time! Since I did it without knowing, many many times in the past as well (reformatted each time)...is there a fix to repair it keeping everything without the need to upgrade\or in windows.old

type 'chkdsk' into start. this should initiate a check disk run on your drive on the next start.

It's possible that maybe each time you unplugged you got unlucky and corrupted something. I have been able to unplug disks before, but I haven't lost any data doing so.

I'll try that after work to see if everything worked out, thanks 😉
