Don't know kmoorevs, at the end I've replaced it and (when I'll have time to do it) I will check that drive to ensure it will be able to continue working... at least I've been able to recover all the data inside!
Thank you.

How did you plug in the new HDD, using new cables or the same ones? Assuming you didn't replace anything else...
If I had to guess, I'd wager one of the cables (power or data) came loose and you reseated them for both drives when installing the new hard drive.

This could have happened Jeremy, I'm not sure about that, at the end it works with a new one after recovering all the data inside the "buggy?" one...
Thank you!

maybe the problem is in connection?

Who knows Irina, I've replaced it using a new HDD and it now works, I'll use all the suggestions of other members recommending different tools to check the real status of the "buggy" hdd... meanwhile I've recovered all the information and working with a new one.
Thank you!

Once it starts flaking out, never trust it again unless you value your data and your time at 0€/hour (in which case I've got a business proposition for you ).
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

100% agree...
I'll check that "buggy" HDD when I'll have time to do it... but meanwhile I'm on the road again with the new one and all the data fully recovered...
Thank you Dan!

Sorry Michael, I've tested the tool of the same brand of the HDD with no results, everything was fine there... which was strange as the computer went freeze once each 5 minutes...
At the end I changed the HDD and I plan to re-use that set of tools and others that have been recommended to check the HDD status, I was terribly worried about the data and to avoid the fact to reinstall every single virtual machine that I had there, but at the end I've got it working without issues...
Thank you for your suggestions. And sorry for not having said anything before, I've been terribly busy with our job those days.

you already have diagnosed it as a dodgy HDD - throw it in the bin so you're not tempted to use it, have it stuff up and then wonder why you used it when you knew it it was dodgier than Chris attempting to code.
Its like those people who keep pens they know don't work and then look surprised when they go to use it and it wont work - only more expensive and annoying.

You are right, I'll check it and use it to start only volatile processes (testing oses and others...).
Thanks!

Today, to mark 10 years, Wizz Air [here[^]] are offering two for the price of one on all tickets until midnight.
But wait!
Last week we looked at going over to BP for a weekend in June, total cost £220, and decided that was a no then.
So I looked just now, same flights are now £180. What they've done is increase the flight price for one ticket to cover the cost of the single free ticket, where you still pay fees.
Rather a good weeze, what ho!

I can't remember much about Diana's death as I was very drunk at the time. Much like the driver.

She was killed by that immigrant Prince Philip, using Ninja Killer Bees (trained by MI5 and released by MOSAD) because she knew the truth about the Moon Landings.
According to the Daily Fail, anyway.

Just a thought, but if you are getting an error it might be helpful to post the error. Since there are 12,123,345,976,635 different possible errors I'm pretty sure it will make the process go much faster and more efficient.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

In some cases, it would help if they even told us vaguely what was wrong.
I'm getting a little tired of questions which are "it didn't work" followed by "plz fix it 4 me".
