    PC boots slowly and one HDD is not recognized


    My PC Windows 10 suddenly boots slower than usual 3-5 mins and when it did start up, one of my SATA HDDs no longer shows up.It shows up in Disk Management as an Unknown Device Not Initialized and when I try to initialize it an error pops up saying "A device which does not exist was specified."I would very much like to recover the contents of this drive if possible. Please help!

    :)

    Hi Johan,

    It is possible that your
    HDD was unreadable
    causing the error message to appear. We recommend that you perform these troubleshooting steps and check if there are any changes:


    • Shutdown
      your
      PC.

    • Unhooked
      the
      HDD
      and
      turn on
      your
      PC.

    • Reconnect
      your
      HDD
      and
      restart
      your
      PC.

    If the issue persists, we suggest that you contact your
    laptop/computer's manufacturer
    for further assistance.

    Update us on how it goes.

    Regards.

    Changing boot hdd

    I downloaded PartitionMagic8.0, but the partition i want to make is not bootable.
    So the system boots from the old, loud hdd, and when i unplug the old, it doesnt boot.
    Any advice or suggestions how to change boot hdd without reinstalling Winxp?
