    Windows hangs on loading circle with a SATA drive attached


    I have recently added a SATA drive and copied over a bunch of files to it. Everything was working fine for a day or so.

    Now, Windows will hang on the loading screen, the circle will just continuously spin round. I have left it for up to an hour before to see if it was just being slow.

    I replaced the SATA drive thinking it was a bad drive, but this has happened again on a second drive.

    It’s confusing because at first the drive works well, only after some data has been written to it and a few reboots it’s starts misbehaving.

    Can anyone help? Most of my googling is bringing up people having issues with their bios choosing the wrong boot drive. I don’t believe this is the problem here since it gets to a Windows loading screen....
