Hi thank you for your answer

With the generic long test soon finishing, i can tell you that i have only got sata disks in the system and 2 x plextor dvd ide drives. When i got the disk read failure i tried booting with the primary and the secondary seagate hd, but neither lets me get past the disk read failure so i can press F8.

My Mobo is an older one, Asus A7V8X which havent got any options regarding sata drives, so ive been using Raid to setup my sata drives, only my plextor dvd ide drives can be seen in the bios.

Now i cant exactly choose to boot from my sata drives, i can however set the bios to boot from another device, which is not floppy or dvd but the hd ive currently chosen as my boot drive.

Thank you so much for your answer, it really would be strange though if both my new seagate drives have gotten the same error simultaneously, the mobo seems fine since my maxtor sata drive havent got any problems, this problem is driving me nuts. I might scan my harddrive for virus as well.
