At this point, try to install on that 10 gig drive, hook up your other drive as a slave, and try to copy all your important data over before you reformat and do a fresh install on the fubar'd drive.

Re: will go to Win load screen then restart

You're lucky, last week I ignored this warning on a psu I was using on a diff comp, the mobo said it was putting out 17v on the 12v rail, plugged in a hd, and within seconds it was glowing red and smoke started pouring out. That was fun, I'm just glad it wasn't my comp, and that the hd was expendable.

Re: will go to Win load screen then restart

Re: will go to Win load screen then restart

i mean the good 10gb hd, wont even load to win on my machine or my other one

Re: will go to Win load screen then restart

I almost hate to say this, but I guess I will anyway: Is your data that important to you? It might just be easier to wipe the original drive and start fresh.

Re: will go to Win load screen then restart

i unpluged my sata hd, pluged the old IDE and installed win, didnt load to win at all, so i put it back into my other comp, and did the same

Re: will go to Win load screen then restart

it has SpySherif, i think its an anti firefox program lol, it says MY spyware is the firefox, and it took over my IE

Re: will go to Win load screen then restart

Well, I like to use spybot, but for you, I'd try cleaning it one more time, and if it doesn't work, then repair install again, burn your most important data on to a disk, and wipe the drive.
