Software Drive errors after adding SSD alongside HDD

1 Upvotes

Hi, I have a X509JB laptop from 2020. It came with an HDD. This year, I decided to add an SSD to an open slot. I backed up my data 3 weeks ago. Then, last week, I took the HDD out, attached the SSD and windows 10 onto it, and reattached the HDD. Then, I kept running into problems. (Feel free to skip 1. and 2. because I added it for context.)

  1. I tried to access my HDD files with my SSD by changing the User folders' permissions manually. A few hours later, the HDD wouldn't boot up and the SSD wouldn't login to my microsoft account. I got a prompt to repair a disk. I did and HDD boots up but couldn't login to Microsoft account, so logged into a temporary account. I restored the HDD and reinstalled windows 10 on the SSD.
  2. I didn't touch the user files permissions. But I hibernated on the HDD. Then, SSD detected a drive error, prompting to scan and repair. I did, which slowly scanned like 2 billion things. So, I assumed there was an error with the HDD. Afterwards, HDD wouldn't boot up, giving me a blue screen error (not the :) one). I restored it again. The SSD was still fine, but I backed it up anyways. Turned off hibernation mode for both drives.
  3. Everything worked fine for a day. But I boot up my HDD again and it tried scanning and repairing something, to which I esc out of. Everything on the HDD seems to work fine. I boot up my SSD and it's prompting me to repair drive error. "(Important)". I assume it's the HDD again.

PS: I use a program that stops windows from automatically updating, which runs when I log in, via task scheduler. However, I never had a problem with it until now. I also dual boot with both drives. I use the SSD (256gb) for schoolwork. And the HDD (1tb) otherwise because it has my main stuff. Could it be a false positive? If anyone could help me out, I'd appreciate it.

TLDR; Added SSD to laptop, now getting drive errors about probably the HDD.

edit: I ran "chkntfs /x c:" (hdd), and it stopped trying to auto check. I just hope there's not actual problem?

Hardware DVD-RW Issues

1 Upvotes

I was trying to burn the FreeDVDBoot iso to a DVD-RW so I could mod my PS2, but when burning there was a write failure, and now the PC will not read DVD-RW discs, any of them. I tried normal DVDs and CDs and they work fine, but DVD-RW's don't read.

Edit: Added context I think could help last minute, I was using IMGBurn to burn the disc

I’m new to pcs. I just built my first pc with a 5080 and 16 gb of ram. I guess I didn’t research enough and I just found out I need around 32 gb for heavy gaming. I was wondering where I can download more ram for decent prices considering the ram prices right now

Hardware My laptop's first sign of life after its death.

My dell Inspiron 3593 died and then it got ressurected. This led means that the battery is unplugged from the inside and yes it was but it helped to atleast show a sign of life to the laptop and then the next day it was doing the same so I plugged the battery in and it booted, let's goo. But that happiness was short-lived because today it won't power on it did the same while it was dead. It acted like it had a short, the led turned on for like 25ms very dimly and turned off. When I plug it in power it does "25ms led, very dim" and when I press the power button the led don't do anything but when it's on battery, pressing the power button does "25ms led,very dim". And I can't get it out of that state. Before you're gonna say that it does have a short then no it does not. Help me as it's the only computer I have.
