I was reading about the freezer trick, thought about trying it last night but I will try the other computer and the upside down options first then try the computer trick,, thanks again
sorry I didnt get a chance to repost back after I tried the CHKDSK/R and the linux puppy, I got the computer to boot showing the slave drive, the CHKDSK on the slave locks up at 53% percent no matter how I run it., The slave drive will open up but anytime I try to open anything or move anything the computer locks up even when using puppy, I am going to try to put it in another computer and see if it will allow me to move things, if not I do not know what im going to do, many of the photos on the drive are very important to me since the person has passed away.. I usually back up my drives every few months but I just purchsed this drive on jan 20th and didnt think I needed a back up so soon.. thanks for all your help
I got my computer to boot with the slave but I cannot move anything off of it or burn anything from it, every time I try my computer locks up,, any suggestions
my os will boot as long as I only have the master drive hooked up, it is when I hook up the slave it wont boot, I know the jumpers are right because I have used it for about a month and this problem just started today.
I really need everyones advice on this matter since I have about 100gb of stuff on this drive.. thank you
My problem is I bought a WD 1tb drive less then a month ago, I run it as a slave on my computer just for storage. I have about 100gig of pictures and family videos on it, today I rebooted my computer and it would not start, it would get to the windows xp load screen and then just turn to a black screen, it would not boot in safe mode or boot to last known good config.. If I unhook the 1tb drive my computer will boot fine and run with no problems, anyone have any idea what could be wrong with the drive and what I could do to get the data off it if I have to rma it back to WD?
ok so I have finished my new build and I am ready to sell off my old computer, I am not sure what it is worth can anyone give me some ideas what I could sell it for. thanks
Gigabyte GA-M55plus-S3g Mobo
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ cpu
NVidia GeForce 8500GT
Corsair DDR2 800mhz 2gig x 2
WD 80 gig hdd
2 Samsumg DVDRW/CDRW with lighscribe
NZXT Apollo Black Mid tower case
Thermaltake 500w psu
I know about how much each item costs but not sure how much I could sell the complete tower for
I have had this problem before and I cracked the case open and cleaned the eye with a little alcohal and a qtip just dont get it to wet, dirt and stuff get on the eyes and cannot read a disk, if you smoke it is even worse.. maybe this will help
Thank you for all your help and suggestions, I think I have decided on the Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with .. Just so I do not have to upgrade it later on if I choose to run 2 gpu
