Hey, so I need help and I'm not that good with hardware stuff. So I had this Maxtor 200GB HD I had gotten and installed it. Was working fine but after a few months, it didn't work (sometimes showed up under My Computer and sometimes didnt, also used to freeze and stuff). Someone told me it had bad clusters/sectors, so I returned it as warranty and got a new one. The freezing didn't go away even after I took the HD out. So this new HD is the same, Maxtor 200GB. Before I installed the HD, I wanted to reformat so it would be fast and I thought that the freezing would go away too, but it didn't. I installed it today and it froze again. Yesterday, when I was running it, it was working fine and didn't freeze. I put the HD in and after sometime, it froze. I defraged it and everything was alright. I ran a few tests at PC Pitstop and it was fine too. I know it's the HD. Anyone know what can be causing this? (Sorry for the long post.) I have no idea what to do since I'm not so good at hardware. Thanks Shock3d

Thanks, but, I've never installed EMC8 and I don't even have it, so I don't see that as the problem. But thanks for your help.
