I noticed that I had similar issue on my hard drive too; re-installed the system on an old hard drive, downloaded the new updated drivers.
No problems now.
But getting back to the other hard drive malfunctioning shows that it is software driven, It can not be hardware as the new instal works ok... Do you have a program that runs from the CD to restore the Windows Operating Display DRIVERS.... "very important"
It will CURE the Black screen virus infecting systems globally
Please,
