As above really: I have an 8tb storage drive which was in an external enclosure until last night. It is partitioned into 3. It has never had a boot record on there. Totally out of the blue, my PC would hang at the motherboard logo screen. After a bit of digging, it became apparent that the hard drive was causing the hang.
I removed the drive from its external enclosure and directly attached to my PC = No boot.
I then enabled hotplug for the relevant SATA port and booted without the HDD plugged in. Once I am in windows I can hot plug and the drive functions correctly.
So the drive seems ok... I am at a bit of a loss though.
Additionally, there have been some 'found.001' files that suggest the drive has been losing data anyway. Has anyone come across this behavior before?
