I was defragging a hard drive that was rather substantially fragmented. Apparently WoW alone will cause quite a mess on a hard drive. The process was nearing the end, Defraggler was going through numerous 1GB files in a row and then there was a BSOD.
It flashed by before I could even react. PC booted up just fine afterwards, except not all of it. One Hard drive (physical one, on which the drive being defragmented was) didn't show up in Windows. Nor did it show up in BIOS anymore.
There is an ungodly amount of event spam in event viewer,
An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\DR1 during a paging operation. (event ID 51) all within two seconds. 48654 events to be exact.
Seems like something somewhere didn't go according to a plan.
What should/could I do now? Other than buy a new hard drive. I'd like to salvage the data there. Not just Wow, it was a 2TB drive after all.
