Can't download

[RuJuRa]

My drive stops donwloading anything at like 30-100 mb and everywhere it says disk write error. Everything else works perfectly. I have checked the cables on the drive and they are connected but that is how far my knowledge goes. I have a 1tb P300. Problems started like week or two ago but haven't moved the rig in months. Drive is a year or two old so the warranty is prob over too and the prices have gone up so much past months (1 tb is now 45 dollars wth) that it would be not very smart to buy a new one right now.

Detach the hdd and see if your pc functions properly.

A message pops up before windows:

 

Invalid system disk

Replace the disk, and then press any key

 

But I know I have windows installed on the ssd becouse windows was installed before I even got the hdd

I have a feeling you either got some virus on your system or the hdd has seriously messed it up. Try getting malwarebytes installe don your system (probably going to have to do it in safe mode) and see if you get any results.

Now the only message that pops up is A disk read error occurred and it has not changed after 4 reboots

I got the windows working on the 7th try and now attempting to download it

[RuJuRa]

The download was successful and

7 items were detected: RiskWare.BitCoinMiner x2, Adware.Installcore x3, Generic.Malware/Suspicious and PUP.Optional.MailRu

@jaslionI removed the programs as malwarebytes suggested and now steam wont work at all, epic games launcher managed to download 103mb but is not frozen and nothing is loading, including settings so something is not right

I have a feeling your windows got very corrupted. You had a couple of serious things on there that tend to leave lasting damage. So I highly advice you reinstall. Without the hdd connected and see if things work then make sure to have malwarebytes installed and after connecting the hdd immediatly scan.
