Harddrive Disconnecting

Hello Everyone!

So recently my harddrive will randomly just disconnect. I can look into my PC and it is connected but everything will disspear from my desktop and I am unable to save anything to my harddrive as my PC can simply not detect it. Everytime I restart my PC it's always connected, but usually for about 20 minutes before disconnecting. Is this definitely my harddrive causing the issue (It's a 1TB Seagate Barracuda that I've had for about 2 years), or could something else be forcing the harddrive to disconnect?

Thanks,
Gun

Download Seatools for DOS (it's also found on Hiren's Boot CD) and run the diagnostic test on it.

I don't think I have a CD that I could burn it on to. I've downloaded Seatools for Windows if that will suffice. If so, what tests should I run?

Better to test with the DOS version. You can download Hirens and make a bootable USB with Yumi Multiboot.

Oh okay, I might give this a try then. I'll report back.

Okay I'm lazy, so I haven't bothered to burn that program onto a USB with that other problem yet!

I did run a test with CrystalDiskMark though, do these speeds look normal?

Hmm, image doesn't show up? Here's the link: http://imgur.com/0fUaKFE

That's not going to tell you if you have issues with your drive. Please just run the drive diagnosis and report back.
