Hi, I am getting issues with my 2nd HDD (not the one with OS on) after a
couple of years of healthy use.

Its got to the point where I've disconnected it for the time being, as with
it being connected its only a matter of time before my pc freezes and
reboots and gives me errors upon reboot etc.

Is there any software I can use to run some hardware diagnosis checks?

I've tried the windows own one, it says its healthy in the status, but locks
up everytime i get to phase 4 of the scan disk.

Cheers for any pointers in helping me diagnosis my pc problem.

Post the Everest SMART report for the drive.

Before I post the results of the everest smart for the drives. just wanted
to say noticed that it listed the 2nd HDD (no operating system on that one)
i'm having probs with as Drive 1, partition type LDM, whilst listing my C
drive as Drive 2, partition type NTFS.

If that means anything to you? (Why 2 different types, and why listed in
wrong booting numerical order? Although it might be me to blame for that
tryign to get the damn thing to boot up after I got that trojan which
appeared to kill my pc dead for a bit until i got the booting sequence all
in order on the mother board).

Back ground info: I've been getting probs with the system since i got a
trojan which appeared to reverse the booting order of the HDD's in the bios
and rendering my system unbootable until I switched the leads around on the
motherboard to get them to boot up in the right order again.

I haven't rebooted since i booted up with the 2nd HDD connected for the
report, but I could see it listed in My computer until just now when its
disappeared altogether and doesnt even seem to be on the pc now so can't
navigate to any of the files I have on there.. so I've done another scan
with it in this invisible state too...(even though the everest scan seems to
see it fine?)

Back ground info: I've been getting probs with the system since i got a
trojan which appeared to reverse the booting order of the HDD's in the
bios and rendering my system unbootable until I switched the leads around
on the motherboard to get them to boot up in the right order again.

.....

That's a pretty nasty trojan .. I hope you did a clean install of the OS.

you swapped the data cables ... did you remember to set the jumper switches
on the hard drives?
 
I just used my anti virus and anti spyware software combined with the online
scanners such as one care, trend micro, and panda scan.

I was unaware that there was any jumper settings to set/switch on sata hard
drives. The hard drives dont actually need to change anyway, as the one with
my operating system on still requires to be the primary as it was before,
don't know how it got reversed around to be the 2nd one to boot from, I
assumed the trojan was to blame, but could just be a coincidence, you never
know.

Hi, I am getting issues with my 2nd HDD (not the one with OS on) after a
couple of years of healthy use.

Its got to the point where I've disconnected it for the time being, as with
it being connected its only a matter of time before my pc freezes and
reboots and gives me errors upon reboot etc.

Is there any software I can use to run some hardware diagnosis checks?

I've tried the windows own one, it says its healthy in the status, but locks
up everytime i get to phase 4 of the scan disk.

I'd run a virus scan. There are several legitimate ones available
free online, including from Symantec, Trend Micro, McAfee, Kaspersky,
Bit Defender, PC Pitstop, etc., but most will only detect malware, not
fix it, unless you buy their software. Bit Defender is an exception,
and for one problem I had (computer slowed greatly), it was the only
thing that worked, in conjunction with SmithFraudFix. Also
Grisoft.com has a decent computer security package, AVG, including a
free version you can download. Whatever you use, note all the malware
detected because it's possible that the anti-virus program won't be
able to fix it by itself, and you'll have to use a program written for
only specific malware or even do the fix manually.

If you have no luck, get HijackThis and post the results in a forum of
a website that specializes in computer security, like
SpywareWarrior.com.
 
Thanks but i've comprehensively exhausted the
anti-virus/spyware/adware/BHO's/malware/greyware/nasties/vulnerabilities
line of investigations and the pc is now as clean as a whistle in that
regard, having been through many major softwares and online scans which I am
used to doing, even for others to help fix their pc's from the nasties they
pick up, so i'm very confident its either the hardware or the settings.

thanks again.

You can boot from whatever drive you specify with that OS.

Back ground info: I've been getting probs with the system since i got a trojan which appeared to reverse the booting
order of the HDD's in the bios and rendering my system unbootable until I switched the leads around on the
motherboard to get them to boot up in the right order again.
Click to expand...

Yeah, its pretty clear that that is what produced the current mess.

This drive has 4 bad sectors.

Thats whats causing the problem with it online, the uncorrectable sectors.

A format of that drive should fix those, but will lose the data on that drive.

I haven't rebooted since i booted up with the 2nd HDD connected for the report, but I could see it listed in My
computer until just now when its disappeared altogether and doesnt even seem to be on the pc now so can't navigate to
any of the files I have on there..
Click to expand...

Thats because the OS has decided that the bad drive is too bad to mount.

Thats normal with that OS, it is pretty fussy about what it will mount.
so I've done another scan with it in this invisible state too...
(even though the everest scan seems to see it fine?)
Click to expand...

Yeah, because whats visible at the hardware level is different to what the OS is prepared to mount.

Before I post the results of the everest smart for the drives. just
wanted to say noticed that it listed the 2nd HDD (no operating system on
that one) i'm having probs with as Drive 1, partition type LDM, whilst
listing my C drive as Drive 2, partition type NTFS.

If that means anything to you? (Why 2 different types, and why
listed in wrong booting numerical order? Although it might be me to blame for
that tryign to get the damn thing to boot up after I got that trojan which
appeared to kill my pc dead for a bit until i got the booting
sequence all in order on the mother board).

Back ground info: I've been getting probs with the system since i
got a trojan which appeared to reverse the booting order of the HDD's in
the bios and rendering my system unbootable until I switched the leads
around on the motherboard to get them to boot up in the right order again.

Hi, I am getting issues with my 2nd HDD (not the one with OS on)
after a couple of years of healthy use.

Its got to the point where I've disconnected it for the time being,
as with it being connected its only a matter of time before my pc
freezes and reboots and gives me errors upon reboot etc.

Is there any software I can use to run some hardware diagnosis
checks? I've tried the windows own one, it says its healthy in the status,
but locks up everytime i get to phase 4 of the scan disk.

Cheers for any pointers in helping me diagnosis my pc problem.

Post the Everest SMART report for the drive.

I just used my anti virus and anti spyware software combined with the
online scanners such as one care, trend micro, and panda scan.

I was unaware that there was any jumper settings to set/switch on sata
hard drives. The hard drives dont actually need to change anyway, as the
one with my operating system on still requires to be the primary as it was
before, don't know how it got reversed around to be the 2nd one to boot
from, I assumed the trojan was to blame, but could just be a coincidence,

Thanks but i've comprehensively exhausted the
anti-virus/spyware/adware/BHO's/malware/greyware/nasties/vulnerabilities
line of investigations and the pc is now as clean as a whistle in that
regard, having been through many major softwares and online scans which I am
used to doing, even for others to help fix their pc's from the nasties they
pick up, so i'm very confident its either the hardware or the settings.
Click to expand...

You may want to try another cable for the disk drive, and if its power
connector is the 4-pin type, try tightening the metal tubes in the
power cable socket.

www.hddguru.com has some HD diagnostics, including HDDscan (Windows)
and MHDD (boot from CD or floppy; cannot run in a DOS box). These
programs can not only surface scan the HD but also tell you if any
reads are slow. I prefer MHDD because Windows can sometimes cause
slow reads, IOW false alarms. Another program, from a different
source, is HDtune, which is used mostly for checking HD performance.
I believe all three programs can also give SMART details, such as the
seek error count and number of ECC corrected reads.

Download and run the trial of Hard Disk Sentinel (Pro preferably).
(Actually, buy it. It's the greatest HDD monitoring app I've discovered, I
run it on all my PCs.)

It should tell you what's up. I suspect that the drive is shot. In that
S.M.A.R.T. info you posted there was a value of 2 for "Off-Line
Uncorrectable Sector Count" (and, strangely, an "OK" next to it). Whenever
I've encountered Off-Line uncorrectable sectors it's either been RMA, if the
drive's still under warranty, or forensic data recovery, followed by the
garbage bin.

Luck,
