My Old WDC HDD got dead , but fortunately i got a new HDD replacement as it was under warranty. But now the problem is that my HDD is not getting detected when i start my pc , aftr 3rd attempt of restart attempt/Power ON/OFF Attempt , my HDD is getting detctd and OS gets load . Also I hv tried all SATA Ports in Motherboard and Have Changed an Old Cable , Still Same Problem exists. Also My HDD to USB / USB to HDD Operations are very Slow (Copyin 600 MB File takes 15 Mins.) But USB to USB is working Fine for the same file (600 MB File takes 2 Mins That even Hardly).Also 720p/1080p Videos are not playing at all , but if same video is played in USB Drive then it plays fine . Also if I keep a file for download in utorrent , then it gives an I/O Device Error (If download locations is in HDD but works fine if download location is USB Drive). Is there any chances of power instability ? Can Anyone Tell me where actual problem exists and what is the solutions?
could be the sata controller on the mobo, i had the same problem a while ago and only mobo replacement fixed it, then again it could be something else
