Hello Members
I really hope somebody can help me with my problem. I have a Western Digital WD3200JS 320Gig hard drive. I believe It's a RAID hard drive, but on the sticker, it lists it as WD Caviar SE.

I really need help from somebody! Yesterday, I was scanning my harddrive. It's in a Gateway GM 5260. Anyway, I put it up for a scan-check. (NOT a virus scan). It was not finished scanning, and I pulled the plug. I moved the computer to another room. When I plugged it in, it would not boot into windows. It brings me to a black screen with white text. It gives me 5 options, as follows:

Safe Mode
Safe Mode with Networking
Safe Mode with Command Prompt
Last Known Good Configuration
Normal Mode

When I pressed Safe Mode, a list of about 30-40 lines filled the screen. I suppose it was telling me that those got messed up when I pulled the plug, though, I'm not certain. Anyway, the beginning of every line read as follows:

multi(0)disc(0)rdisc(0)partition(1)windows/system/32/Drivers.

Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, Safe Mode with Command Prompt, all do the same thing.

When I click on Normal Mode or Last Known Good Configuration , the computer goes to the black screen with the windows logo and the blue cursor bar. The cursor bar doesn't even reach the end of the bar. It pauses, for a split second, literally, it flashes to a blue screen with white text (I don't know what it says, it goes by so fast), and the computer brings me back to the screen with the five different options.

SO, I bought a hard drive enclosure, took the hard drive out of the computer and turned it into an external hard drive. I hooked it up to another computer, and it reads the recovery partition just fine. However, when I click on the icon for the partition that has all my files, a message appears telling me that the drive is unreadable. I right clicked on the icon, and the display said: Used Space: 0 bytes-Free Space 0 bytes.

I clicked on the tools menu for the error-checking scan disc option and clicked "Check Now." A message appeared and it said: "The disc check could not be performed because Windows cannot access the disk."

I have over 200 gigs on my hard drive. I don't want to pay Disc Savers $2000 to repair the hard drive. Is there anything I can do? Can somebody please help me?! I'd really appreciate it. I have over 15,000 songs, a ton of vids. I need help!
