    Unable to repair second hard drive


    Recently i found out that my second hard drive became corrupted. So i tried to repair it. However when i tried restart my PC and repair the hard drive, it'd take over a day to try to repair it, only for it to suddenly stop, boot my PC into Safe Mode and tell me, that the hard drive could not be repaired. And when i try to repair it using the "Error Checking" option on the "Tools" page of the hard drive's properties page, i get an error saying "The harddrive cannot be repaired while it's still being used". Even when i've made sure, that there are no other applications running.Anyone know, what

    :)

    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!
