Hard Disk Failures
Posted: Tue Jan 10, 2006 11:57 am
remember a couple of week back when i lost my IDE HDD, well ive just also lost my SATA drive.(using my old computer at the moment)
anyway when i booted up this morning the system started to boot and froze on the win2k loading screen the one with the image and blue bar, i restarted and got the error "Boot disk drive failure, please insert boot disk and press enter to continue" so i rebooted it and neither HDD is listed in the BIOS.. this sort of sucks considering i just got the system running the way i wanted.
anyone got any ideas what would cause both HDD one IDE and one SATA to fail within a few weeks of each other? seems strange it could just be my own fault for saying ive never had HDD fail on me then both go almost together.
forgot to say the HDD activity light lights up when i switch on the system yet i cant hear the HDD spinning or reading, probs just reporting IDE activity from the CD mabye?
