    Secondary HDD suddenly doesn’t get recognised anymore


    Hi guys, I added the HDD of my laptop as a secondary HDD on my PC. The bios recognises it and my windows as well (which is perfect).

    After restarting my PC, the bios still recognises the HDD, but windows suddenly doesn’t anymore. When going back into the bios (after windows doesn’t recognise the HDD), the bios does not recognise it either.

    I can repeat the whole situation by unplugging and plugging the HDD back in, however my PC stops recognising it when it’s booted and the bios stops recognising it as well...

    I tried checking it with device manager and disk manager, but the HDD isn’t recognised there either.

    Can anyone help me? Would be fun to use the laptop HDD as a secondary HDD, or at least back up the files on it to my PC.

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Does it mean my HDD is useless?

    Scanner doesn´t work anymore after last Windows 10 update

    As many people on the internet already are discussing, their scanner doesn´t work anymore after the last Windows update. But there seem to be no solution.

    My Scanner starts making noises, as usual, and then i get error messages: "Communication with the scanner is not possible"
    or this

    Is there a workaround for that?

    I dunno.

    Re-install the TWAIN drivers? (They are not included in Windows.)

    You might get a better answer if you gave the make and model of the scanner.
