Hi there, recently I had bought WD 3200AAJS (320Gb SATA HDD) from Dubai.
Since I dont have SATA ports on my MOBO, I got a SATA PCI adapter (VIA VT6421 Raid controller) from Lamington Road, Mumbai for the time-being till i buy a new MOBO.
Few days back, my secondary hard disk(WD3200AAJS) had I/O error and much of the data on that got corrupted. Starting the windows took ages and opening any file on the drive took lots and lots of time. Finally i backed possible files and formatted the drive when all possibilities like chkdsk and all failed to alleviate my misery.
Now till a day back everything was working fine. suddenly today playing media files on that drive has become a problem. copying files from that drive to others shows the I/O error. though it hasnt started affecting my windows, I dont want to undergo the past experience.
What could be wrong ? Is this specific drive known for such bugs? Which is the best free software to recover media and audio files ?
