Current Events > Suddenly my D drive only works in Safe Mode.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I have no clue what's going on. About a week ago my computer suddenly stopped being able to read files on my D drive. After restarting the computer it just couldn't detect it at all, neither in explorer, device manager or disk manager. A hard restart of the computer eventually fixed it after I checked to see if it could be detected in the bios.

Now the problem's started again. This time a hard restart does not fix it. When I start the computer in safe mode I can see and browse the D drive just fine. When I start the computer normally however, the computer first takes about 3 minutes to start, which is about 3 minutes longer than it normally takes, then I see this:



I can see the D drive in quick access, but it has no name. It doesn't show under volumes, but I can see an unallocated disk, which I can't initialize because it says the drive doesn't exist. I can see the driver in device manager, which apparently has no issues.

After I select either "Rescan disks" or "Scan for hardware changes" all of them vanish into the aether and I can no longer see any trace of the D drive anywhere except for buttons for Pictures and Documents and whatnot that just say the device is unavailable.

Seen some strange errors in Event Viewer that I have no clue what they mean.

VDS fails to write boot code on a disk during clean operation. Error code: 800701B1@02070008

Hundreds of the following with different service names:

DCOM got error "1084" attempting to start the service WSearch with arguments "Unavailable" in order to run the server:
{7D096C5F-AC08-4F1F-BEB7-5C22C517CE39}

And at some point I also saw:

Reset to device, \Device\RaidPort0, was issued.

I can't backup the drive because when I run the computer in safe mode I can't access my external hard drives. Anyone have any clue what's going on?

Must suck if you wanna have kids

Well, I'm in safe mode now. This time it didn't show up until I clicked rescan disks, and the device manager showed it as "unknown device" until I did so.

I am confused and annoyed.

The drive is probably dying.

Annnnnd it's stuck.

Yeah, the drive is pretty much dead.

Well, it's apparently losing the HDD in safe mode after a while too.



This isn't gonna work. Have to use a USB2 port because the USB3 one doesn't work in safe mode for some reason.

RIP

My porn is safe, fortunately. It's all my other stuff that isn't.

Always keep a backup!
