I recently had this error when rebooting my system



I sent an Error Report when Prompted by MS after the "This system has recovered from a serious error, Send Report...and I did just that.




Problem Caused By Hard Drive Disk Error

Windows was temporarily unable to read your hard disk drive. We do not know the exact cause of the problem. In most cases, this type of condition is momentary and does not indicate a serious problem, but sometimes it means that a hard disk is failing.

Common causes of this problem

*

Aging or failing hard disks. To prevent file corruption and data loss, we recommend that you back up all of your important files and folders immediately. See Step 1 in the Troubleshooting section below for more information.
*

Large file transfers from secondary media, such as an external hard drive, to a local hard drive.
*

Loss of power to a hard disk drive that causes inconsistent data sectors.
*

Hard drive slowness caused by disk-intensive processes such as antivirus scanners.
*

Recently installed hardware that might have compatibility and performance problems.

Lately, I had my Storage Drive Crash (heard it clicking, then it failed). I unplugged the Power Cord, but left the Data Cable in.

Now I was able to reboot OK after that....but I was wondering if this error message had to do anything with my OLD Hard drive Data Cable STILL being plugged in.

Hoping it's not my already working drive. But I'm thinking it's trying to read the old drive that isn't "powered up".

I am hoping it is MOMENTARY like M$ says.
