MY HD RIP :(
« on: December 26, 2001, 06:15:56 PM »
Yup I thought it will never happen...yesterday at Win2K I tested the DirectX diag, becouse the games (microsoft combat flight smulator) didn\'t see the D3D, (Gf2mx400 21.81 drivers for Win2k/XP).
Well at the moment I was testing the D3D the system freezed at a white screen, so I did a hard reset, damn it never booted again.
Ok I saied is the dual booter I\'ll set in a moment, ha, no Fdisk, no Mbr no sys c: from the boot floppy(reported error reading the hd), so I tried a restore from Win2k Cd, nada, so I used the Western Digital Disk manager, and it told that the bios couldn\'t handle the HD and installed Ezbios go figure!, tried to reinstall Win and it said there weren\'t partitions or they were NT/HPFS, at that point I did a Low Level Format, and went to buy a new HD (with whom I\'m now), after six hours the LL end, but the results were the same.
I think the fault is becouse I had the bios in PNP OS YES, and MS advices not to do that, that \"hardware info may be written...\" or something like that.
Any idea how to recover the HD?????(Western Digital 30GB 5.400rpm)
Thanks guys
