For a few days I was having problems like Steam freezing and one day a game I was playing kept crashing before before finally hitting a BSOD.
After this my PC took a long time to boot and when it did all the shortcuts pointing to my second HDD(1TB Barracuda) were blank and my PC was petty much unusable with me being unable to start any programs.
I managed to get my computer open and saw that my storage HDD was listed with no detail and me being unable to open it. Disconnecting the Barracuda results in my PC booting and functioning as normal.
I just tried to use Seatools DOS booted from a USB to check the HDD health but it just seems to hang on "FreeDOS FAT kernal go!"
Is this HDD just flat out dead?
Primary HDD:Hitachi 320GB (OS and basic programs)
Second HDD:Seagate Barracuda 1TB(the problem HDD used for storage only)
CPU: i5 4690k
GPU: MSI 770
Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 5
Ram: 2x4 Corsair Vengeance
PSU: Corsair TX650w
Windows 7 64bit
