Trying to install another hard drive but its giving me problems. Device manager simply says it needs to be initialized, so i click ok but nothing happens. I try the usual stuff, but everything is greyed out. So i tried it with a 3rd party program called EASEUS Partition Magic (works on Windows7).
All went well, but i noticed that i couldnt use any files on the new hdd larger than 50mb (videos wouldnt play etc). Then my entire system slowed down, if i were to move a window around it would get framerate lag and become choppy. I restarted my computer and the hard drive is no longer there, and appears as "unallocated space". No matter how many times i initialize and format it, it returns to unallocated space every time i restart the computer.
So what am i doing wrong here? Also, should i make it a Logical or Primary drive?
Its a SATA 500gb hdd. Im using windows 7.
EDIT:
Seems like the hard drive is very unstable. After a few minutes, all files becomes corrupted, even if i copy them back to my C drive. What the **** is wrong with this HDD?? gahhh
