Hey. So one of my hard drives is officially ballsed up, speedfan wants it replaced and diagnostic tools give up on it, as does checkdisk haha.
So anyway...i decided to remove it seeing as, well, it has nothing all that important on it anyway so its no loss, i can get back all my games etc.
But i ran into a problem after disconnecting it, on boot up, just before the windows scrolling bar logo thingy (you know what i mean)
It comes up with an error (white text black screen) along the lines of:
"Could not find boot something something, hard disk hardware configuration error something, please use correct boot device something" or sort of like that. :4-dontkno
Anyone any ideas?
I tried playing with the disk priorities in bios but it didnt help.
Then when i connected it up again...i found that it had "switched" the letters around and couldnt find E:\ which has windows on it.
So the question is...could that be an issue? Or is it something else?
Should i try formatting the harddrive? All i want to do is disable or remove the bloody thing because (On the current computer as we speak) its slowing it down considerably and ever 3 seconds its making an "activity" sound, like a pulse of buzzing ness lol.
Maybe i have to do more in the bios?
The fault is on my WD250GB drive, the others i have are another WD80GB drive and a samsung 80 gig drive
Thanks in advance.
