Windows 8 damaged my drive !!! >:(

for some reason, windows 8 starts going mad (100% disk and ram usage) when i copy, highlight, or open a ~5gig mpeg2 file (hdtv recording)

right click > view image (to see full image)







no, this is NOT a disk problem...

i copied these exact same files from windows 7 the exact same day i copied them back to windows 8..

also windows 8 started going mad if i read these files from my backup drive AND my normal drive .. it happened with TWO separate files not just one and on BOTH hard drives windows 8 started with the 100% disk usage crap..

i did manage to delete both files through the command prompt, but it sure did take looong time... i then recorded another 5+gig tv show file on windows 8, and windows 8 started going crazy again ..

now my freaking hard disk does not show a normal status on a smart check!!



i'm 100,000,000% sure this is a windows 8 problem since i'm back on windows 7 using big mpeg2 files with no problems... but my f'ing smart check isn't showing good status anymore

also windows 8 loads my wrong network driver !!!

the solution the person who replied to my thread does not work!!

Windows 7 = :thumb::thumb:

Technically, a software cannot damage a drive physically.
Reallocated sectors count, i think it is related to Disk Defragmenter. Have you even tried defragging your disk?! Don't bash windows 8 for the problem that is purely NOT from the OS!!
I'm freaking mad now.

hi, what are the specs of the computer like make and model ,hdd type ,amount of ram

and i noticed you didn't respond to the helper in you other thread ,maybe they has another suggestion ,like you network device/and even you motherboard is not win8 compatible maybe

Looks like he posted to "vent", then left... Oh well...

Hello codec..

Are your problem already fix? and how to fix it?
Now I have sam problem with you, for another member, please help, because from post in top I don't found some sollutions.
Thank You before..

I do not believe that an operating system can damage a hard drive. There are a lot of people who do not like Windows 8 for various reasons, but not because it damaged a drive. If your drive is damaged, it would be a good idea to take a better look at things.

Most likely has a bunch of malware.

I like Windows 8 better than 7. Sure it took some time to getting used to, but it usually does when its a big change.
I used to only use Macs. Hence the big change. But now I use both. Its great to be honest.
