Hi all, my current PC has been running perfectly since its been built but recently whenever i boot the PC with the hard drive plugged in (there are 2 drives in my system, the 2TB WD Black that im having issues with and a 240GB SSD where i have windows installed on) the PC takes about 5 minutes to take me to the lock screen about another 5 minutes to get to the desktop, at which point there are no icons/shortcuts on my desktop and i cannot load anything, even file explorer doesnt show anything at this point and just tries to load the quick access tab forever without actually finishing... however if i unplug the hard drive and just keep the SSD plugged in then it run perfectly, loading everything it should and booting into windows in seconds, obviously i cannot then access the terabyte of files on my harddrive.

I have no idea what has started this and have no idea how to fix it... PLEASE HELP, thank you
