Hi All!

Got a disk read error when i turned on my pc a couple of days ago, on both my seagate barracuda 1TB Sata hd's, cannot load windows on neither hd. Ive made no updates or changes before shutting it down the day before the error and the error appeared on both hd's simultaneously

Luckily ive still kept my maxtor 300 GB hd, and when i load windows from it, both my seagate hd's seems untouched. Everything is in order and i can read/write on the hd's so the Mobo must be fine since the smaller maxtor sata disk works fine

I tried reinstalling and upgrading win xp home from my MS cd but when restarting in dos it still cannot detect the hd's

Currently im scanning the primary seagate 1TB hd with seatools making a long generic test, it failed the other test. When its through im gonna make a iso cd with seatools and try testing in dos mode

I cant really see a solution to this problem, so if any of you could recommend some actions or come up with the solution it'll be greatly appreciated

Thnx in advance
