Im having a weird Hard drive issue…its getting a little annoying too cus I cant figure it out. Ill boot my computer and write paper, serf the net, read do whatever. Then out of the blue it starts to lag and run terribly. Just recently I noticed my second HDD craps out. What I mean by crapping out is my computer does not detect that it is there (even if i restart it wont be detected) I have to shut down and unplug the sata and plug it back in. Then my comp will detect it again. This happens about once a week but now it happened 3 times today. My secondary HDD (the one that’s crapping out is a segate 500gig 32mb 7200)

Is my Hdd dyeing?
 
lol..installed it and when i scan for drives nothing shows up.
 
If you are troubleshooting a problem with a hard drive, always use the dos version of the diagnostics. If you read into the help files for the Windows version of Seatools, they recommend the same thing.

I also find it helpful to only have the drive under test connected during the test. Prolly more an issue with PATA drives, but I have continued the practice with SATA.
