The computer is an HP Pavilion a1350n running Win XP Media Center Edition 2005 (Win XP Pro). There may be some things to look at in the BIOS regarding the drives settings.
What is the manufacturer/model of the computer or the motherboard manufacturer/model if it is a custom build? Do you recall anything happening or making any changes with the computer on 7/18?
Which may indicate the problem occurred before back on 7/18. 9:41:59 AM, error: sr - The System Restore filter encountered the unexpected error '0xC0000001' while processing the file '' on the volume 'HarddiskVolume2'.
#Seagate usb backup drive not recognized full
I noticed that they are over 90% full and that may or may not be important. L: is FIXED (NTFS) - 466 GiB total, 45.642 GiB free.

When you ran DDS in that malware thread, the drives were there and they disappeared within 24 hours of this. Once I rule out a malfunctioning cable, maybe we can revisit this thought. I was wondering if pulling the motherboard battery out long enough to lose bios settings would cause it refresh the hard drive auto detect features when reinstalled and restarted? It is as if this second drive is just not being detected with things the way they are. The drive has been rock solid until I started this malware issue. I don't think my disconnecting the drive when I realized it wasn't responding has anything to do with this either. I haven't heard of any viral / malware processes that can mess with BIOS settings, but I can see where things could get messed up if a dynamic drive overlay was being employed (it was not). The coincidental nature of this drive malfunctioning in the throes of this recent malware event seems fairly suspect to me. I'll get a magnifier out and take a much closer look at the individual components on the board, though. I already gave the drive a fairly close look over, and didn't see/smell anything burned. Like you say, probably just a good idea to have one around. I don't have a SATA to USB bridge, but I'll get one. I'll try swapping a drive cable from my other computer, to see if that's the problem. It's very warm to the touch and I can feel it running. There's only two ports on the motherboard for hard drives.Īnd, yes, I'm certain the drive is spinning up. I appeciate, in advance, any help that can be offered, Since the TB drive was not showing up in Parted Magic, there were no diagnostics to run on it. I ran fdisk -l in Parted Magic, and it also did not list the second Seagate, only the 250GB drive. Reading about other people that had similar drive problems, I downloaded Parted Magic and InfraRecorder and made a bootable CD. There also didn't appear to be an auto-detect feature or a feature where I could add any drive parameters to enable that drive. I booted into SETUP to see what the problem was, and don't find the backup Seagate 1TB drive listed (the primary drive is also a Seagate 250 GB). Once the malware problem was resolved, I reconnected the hard drive and booted several times to see if the drive partitions would come up in the drive list, but they didn't. Fearing the malware might somehow attack that drive (where most of my digicam photos, scans, music, etc.) is stored, I shut down and disconnected that drive, until the malware problem got resolved. Nothing was being written to the drive at this point because it wasn't in the list. I usually save my scans to my backup Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1TB drive, but when I tried to save a scan, my G & L drives were not listed in the Drive List anymore.
I've been working with Fireman to cure a malware problem, which is now complete, but during the initial wait for assistance I thought I might do some scans to fill the time.
