Question: Why can't I access my second hard drive now?  Is this software or hardware? OK, heres the thing, its new, like, a 6 months old.  It worked just fine up until 30 min ago.  I can't figure out what it is, software or hardware.  I bought a video editing program yesterday, and loaded it today.  I downloaded a couple things, dragged them into the folder.  I pressed a few things on the keyboard trying to remember how to screen print.  I went into display and made the display 1280x1080.  (Or whatever it is).  That is when I noticed.  I clicked on the hard drive in that screen, and everything froze.  \n\nI had to Control+alt+delete to shut down the folder.  Nothing worked, not the debugger...nothing.  So I put the screen back, and deleted the video software.  I checked for errors, nothing.  \n\nBut, I can open it.  It shows everything.  I can access the folders and all that.  But about 5 seconds after its opened, it lags down and debugger shuts it off.  Which is why I think its software, cause everything is there.   Ill be doing a system restore in just a second.
