i have two segate 80 gb HDD.
the problem is that one of the HDD behaves erratically. sometimes it works fine, then suddenly my system starts to hang for a few seconds and it becomes normal. then it simply fails to recognise partitions on the HDD. i have to manually remove it's power connections otherwise vista used to take an eternity to boot.
the wierd thing is that this cycle repeates after a few days.
i guessed it's a cooling problem and took HDD temperatures. it is reported as 38-40 C. is it normal? should i get it replaced? only two yrs have passed
please anybody? atleast tell the normal HDD temperatures
