Hello. First I apologize in advance for thread that may have been already created by someone else Naturally i was looking for. My problem is as above. Windows 10 pops up "Windows detected a hard disk problem (...) Start backup process (...) Ask me again later" "which disk is failing..." So, what to do? S.M.A.R.T. shows no errors. No critical attributes raw value changed. No pending / remapped/ hidden sectors/ bad sectors. No damaged disk blocks, S.M.A.R.T status ok. HDD is healthy, works properly. Only one attribute has status "attention" - C7 Interface CRC Error Count - Curr. 100, Worst 100, Thresh. 0, data 79. Last few days i was manipulating with arrangement inside of PC case. I have new PS and SSD. Could it be because of this "C7" so it's nothing, or maybe some serious crash coming up? Please help.
The last one who had a similar problem was because a faulty/not well connected data cable Reopen the PC and check that your cables are firmly inserted.
Two things to try below. 1. Write zero on that hard drive. 2. Get ASUS data cable good one (not Chinese like cheap red data cable.).
bad cable connection or cable my experience since using SATA disk is you need to change data cable every 2 yrs or if they become hard (lose flexibility when you bend them). This was never a issue with older IDE cables. Still have a PC running for 15 years with same IDE disk and cable without any issue
wow!!!! thats a long time for a HD to live....the most i ever see is about 8 years of life for HD.....u most not use that comp to much?
Yes, that would have been me, and 'jiggling' the cable did the trick.... Low tech solution for a high tech world....
