Guest sgopus Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 I have been able to make regular backups via an external sata drive, but lately I've lost my access to the drive. the bios says it's there, but windows takes forever to boot when the drive is connected, not sure why, it usually doesn't take that long, I think one of the recent windows updates has messed up my sata drivers, has anybody else experienced this? Fortunetly the drive is also USB, it just takes loads longer to access the data.
Guest sgopus Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 RE: lost access to my sata drive problem resolved, it was a bad sata data cable, my cats had been using it to practice pouncing on snakes, and had chewed into the cable, thankfully I had another sata data cable to try. it works.
