*I also noticed it doesn't like my other SATA drive. So far I haven't been able to get the missing operating system or NTLDR with the other drive unplugged, its still uber slow though*
I just reformatted my computer because my game performance was very low for my system and I couldn't figure out why, I thought a format might help. After I installed all the needed drivers I benched with 3dmark05 and got ~3800 only 200 up from before.
My computer locked up and I had to restart. Just before it got into windows it gave me a "Operating system could not be loaded" error, or something like that. I reboot again and it gave me a "NTLDR is missing" error. I rebooted a couple times, ran chkdsk which said it found an error, re-wrote the boot sector, did a couple more reboots and then it finally started working again.
I figured something must be weird with my HD so I downloaded SiSoft Sandra and benched my HD. Turns out I got 55MB/s compared to the 144MB/s the Raptor in the Sandra database gets. Whats up with this drive? I've had it for about a year now, did it crap out that quickly?
One more quick question. For my SATA drives I have an option to "Safely Remove" them in the systray, why is that there? Anyway I could get rid of the icon? Thanks
Its a 74gig Raptor and I'm on a MSI K8n Neo2 Plat motherboard
