Sorry if this gets lengthy.
I am not sure what happened but the WD 1T EZEX drive I use for Dprogram files)/Egames) is completely hosed. Thankfully I didn't have any important stuff on there. The CWindows) and Fbackups) drives on the system appear to be unaffected by whatever is happening.
General sequence of events:
- System was running fine, it was running BOINC which was installed on the D: drive, so the drive was in use fairly continuously use, but not large volumes. I took the dog for a walk and when I got back the system fans were running max out and was it was unresponsive to keyboard/mouse input.
- Power reset the system it came up, but when it tried to start BOINC, it complained that the executable was missing. Brief investigation revealed D: and E: drives were not visible. C: and F: seem OK.
- Reboot and regained visibility to D: and E: but BOINC still could not start due to missing executable, although I could see it in the directory in file manager.
- Event log shows 8367 errors on the drive
The IO operation at logical block address 0x509d748 for Disk 1 (PDO name: \Device\00000034) failed due to a hardware error.
Event ID 154
- I swapped the SATA cables between D:/E: and the F: drives, to try and start trouble shooting. At this time I am no longer collecting errors, but there are numerous directories on D: and E: that show to be empty from file manager that had data previously. For example if I go to my Steam directory it says it is empty, but it also shows 550G in use, and that has to allocated in the Steam directory. Many of the directories on the drive are like this, in both the D: and E: partitions.
- Disk scans of the drive using the Windows tool show no errors. Earlier crystal disk info showed nothing wrong on the drive, but now it doesn't show it at all. Same with speed fan. I will reboot and post what it shows. Although File Manager still sees the drive
- As I was typing this I collected 35k error because Windows can no longer see the paging file which I put on D:, even though it should have no reason to page anything with my systems specs.
Let me reboot and see if I can get the SMART counters read.
