Hard drive issue?

[crc9786]

This has happened twice now...

New build all hardware has seemed flawless so far but when I unplug my power supply from an outlet and plug it back in windows startup repair begins and it says it is repairing disk errors, almost like os has dissapeared. I shut down properly and flip power switch on psu before unplugging, any info is appreciated.

Run a harddrive diagnostics by utilizing the HD's manufacture's free diagnostic utility that you can get off their website. Run the short and long tests; don't skip the long one.

ok, OS was definitely missing so reinstalling now, will update

Update: short scan did not complete

status code=07 (failed read test element), Failure Checkpoint =97 (Unknown Test)

well....like i said it only gave me issues after I cut power by unplugging computer, maybe if i leave it plugged in it will work until i can get a new drive

Okay, if you had anything or importance on that harddrive then back up immediately. Please keep us updated and good luck.

Gonna replace the drive (1TB WD Caviar Blue) with the Samsung Spinpoint F3 500GB. Good reviews on multiple sites and 500GB is still enough for me, I guess I'll just RMA the WD and use the replacement as a backup, maybe RAID.
