    Strange Hard-drive installation problem.


    I used to build systems and the last one I built lasted about 7 years. One day it had a coolant leak that I missed and eventually lead to a dead system. So I bought a brand new one as you can see in my system specs.

    The very first day I had it, I removed the storage drives from the old computer and put one of them in the new computer. Booted up to windows 10 and immediately BSOD. Removing the hard drive allowed windows to boot normally. I have a USB device that also can clone drives. I went out and got a brand new 8TB drive and cloned my 5TB onto it. I put the brand new drive into the new computer, booted up and boom, BSOD. So I booted into Linux, which had no problem seeing the drive and deleted the data on the drive. Rebooted it into windows 10, and I'm currently using that drive without an issue. I also tried the other smaller 1TB drive and had the same exact issue. This tells me it's not a mechanical failure and the data can be read in Linux and have no issues on a windows 7 machine. I've also tried the old drives in other systems around the house that also run windows 10 to make sure it wasn't some other hard-ware issue. BSOD on all of them.

    I will mention that the old drives were compressed under windows 7 and I've been wondering if that might have something to do with it. I want to also mention that I used my USB device to connect the drive to a chrome book. I was able to access the contents of the drive and even copy files to another drive. While I could probably go through the hassle of running a copy of windows 7 somehow and copying the files, I'd like to see if there's some way to actually get the drives to be read under windows 10. I would like to be able to move all the files off those drives and reformat them.

    I would appreciate any insight.

    :)

    Strange Hard-drive installation problem.

    Overclock your hard drive!!!

    Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

    REQUIREMENTS:
    • Hard drive with molex power connection.
    • PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
    • Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.
    STEPS:
    • Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
    • Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
    • Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
    • Plug in a drive and feel the speed!
    Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!
