I am having a problem with one of my 250GB Seagate SATA HDD. As I boot the computer it starts ok but after using for some minutes it halts, and after hard reboot system says boot disk failure. After keeping the machine switched off for some time, then again it boots into OS as works properly for some times and halts again. After doing some diagnosis I found that the problem is causing from the HDD so I attached it to my main PC and tried to make a back up. It works as long as I copy small files but whenever I put a large file for copy system detaches the drive and could not detects it any more. I have tried various disk checking utilities (CHKDISK and badblocks) to scan for bad sectors but these tools failed to diagnose the problem as the disk gets undetected in process. Any body have any idea about this problem and any solution!! Thanks in advance.
