sammy2 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 This is super frustrating. I recently had to replace my motherboard and I brought to a computer guy to assembly it for me. After coming home I realize he didn't connect all the hard drives. This drive was working fine just last week but now I don't know if it's dead or something.. It has all my songs, pictures etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Overlord Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Have you tried checking in your control panel? (in win7 classic view, it's device manager, right click on computer and scan for hardware changes) (note, before you try this, are all the power and controller cables correctly fitted to your hard drives and motherboard?)

techbeck Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Does the drive spin up? Have a way of attaching the drive via USB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammy2 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 via USB ? Thank you Jesus (I don't even believe in God) ... but I left it on long enough went on my bed to talk and complain to a friend...came back to scan for new hardware (was using my phone to browse) and I see windows telling me to restart to repair... computer restarted and completed the repair now my files are available... wow!.. I just hope it wasn't an early warning of the drive dying soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Overlord Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 So all the drives and subsequently, your files are now seen by your computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
