Try booting with only primary hdd connected and leave it on for a while. If it doesn't freeze then you know where the problem is. It's either that the drive is failing or the particular sata bus is buggered.

for now I plugged into different sata port as SpykeZ recommended
as other said I will go out today and buy new sata cable...I bet it will be so overpriced since there is only one computer store around where I live ;/
Thanks again!
EDIT : And it happened again with hard drive plugged into different sata port...

Ok
Step 1 Unplug hdd with movies.If no change see Step 2 if it helps see Step 3
Step 2 Del partition with appz on disk that had windows.Then format. Then install windows. If doesnt help see STEP 3 and if it helps then it was because of explorer
Step 3 Del partition with movies then format.

Its been hour or hour and half since I have unplug second drive and there havnt been any freezes...But as soon as I plug second drive back into first time BIOS doesnt sees it for some reason then i re-plug it again and then it works but it takes 5 minutes to boot to windows and I load winamp and after few minutes it freezes and then those 10 second freezes happen every 30 seconds or so

I think your drive is dying. You really need to do a backup now, but Im out of ideas about how to do it in your situation...
Edit: Have you tried copying just one file at the time?

Maybe test your partitions/MBR, your drive can be dying like it is said above or the file system can simply be somewhat corrupted by stupid things like a filepath over 255 characters, unrecognized characters in a filename, etc, windows can then freeze for this... thus look at the files/folder you were accessing with winamp, run a chkdsk /r over that partition and check your drive with an app like partition table doctor or similar.

You need to try to copy file by file. If it doesnt work then try to copy from DOS. If you cant copy anything then you should format disk and run recovery tool for deleted data and try to restore it that way. Btw you should always backup youre data.

Now that you have clean disk you should error check it to see if you have bad sectors.

What brand HDD is it. I got in touch with Seagate today they have a live chat, it was very fast so no waiting. Maybe the drive you have has techs on hand too.
