SSD missing from Disk Management. Faulty?
Hey guys,
I am very frustrated I really hope you can help me.
I have an ASUS Vivobook S550CB (Intel Core i7-3537u processor, 8Gb of Ram, 750Gb + 24Gb SSD hard drive) Windows 8 pre-installed. It used to boot/load Windows 8 and be ready to use it in 9-10 seconds. I updated to Windows 8.1 from Windows Store and everything was still perfect for the following 12-13 months.
Pushed the button, 2-3 secs ASUS logo, 2-3 secs Windows Logo and on the remaining seconds was loading the operating system
Now all of a sudden, after getting a message about a hard disk error/failure :
Push the button, 2-3 secs ASUS logo and then I see the "loading circle" under the logo "loading" for 4-5 minutes!! and after that loads the operating system just fine.
I checked the hard disks ( C: for the operating system, D: for the rest of my stuff, it was bought like this, with 2 partitions) with two ways:
1) Right Click -> Properties -> Tools -> Error Checking. Then "optimize and defragment "
2) I used the program Hard Disk Sentinel
Both ways showed no problem
So, having no clue about what happened I decided to reset my PC. I did that so I got the PC just like when I bought it... But with the problem still there! Updated again to Windows 8.1 and still there....
So now after all of this trouble I don't know how to fix the problem.
Any ideas?
(Btw I am not a PC expert so if you have the patience please be a little detailed on your suggestions if it's something complicated)
