Default Silly Harddrive Problems

Im running 2 sata HDDs - the first (c is 250gb, and the second (d is a slightly older 80gb.

Anyway, they both appear to run fine in terms of no awful noises or problems. Except for the past 3 weeks (since ive been playing mir ) my event viewer has a few entrys a day about a controller failure on my D drive.

Quote:
The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk2\D.
Yesterday i cleared the D drive completely and moved about 30gb over to my C drive. Then a few hours later my pc locked up completely in windows (even mouse froze) and with a hard reboot it went to a chkdsk screen which was green! and found quite a shitload of issues, quite a lot of which seemed to be with my D drive. I also checked eventwer at the time of the crash and there had been recent entries to say controller problem.

I checked this via google and people say its a device conflict, but i checked on msinfo32 and theres no conflicts there. Im a little concerned that the d: shouldnt be in use yet its spamming event viewer. Also why there are so many things found by chkdsk if the C: isnt the one with the problem?

I was gonna install win7 onto the d: and see how it goes, but im not sure thats the best idea now

The odds of faith in the face of doubt,
Camera One closes in,
The soundtrack starts,
The scene begins...
