Hi guys,
So i'm freaking out cause my apparently failing HDD has everything but the OS on it so if it crashes I'm going to cry......
Yesterday everything was fine, I was browsing the web and such. then i patched WoW and went out.
when i came back i decided I try and launch the game but the loading screen loaded extra slow so i force closed the app. tried again but still super slow.
I decided to reboot to launch Super Anti Spyware and TuneUp but the computer would not reboot. I hear the normal Bios beep but then I would never really get to windows (got on once but MSN wouldn't load, the desktop took forever to appear....)
After some trial and error I unplugged my secondary HDD and everything loads fine.
I plugged it as external HDD but it doesn't appear in My Computer. It does appear however in Device Manager....
BTW I have Vista Home Premium 64.
I'm going to keep looking but if you have ideas I'd be really grateful.
edit: I just noticed the HDD appears in Disk Management as RAW
edit 2: man sometines I just don't get computers..... I rebooted and windows took about 10 minutes to load so i was thinking all was fucked. I then checked and my HDD appeared perfectly (name data and all). so i decided to make sure. I play a video get the video no problem but no sound, i play an mp3 it loads but doesn't play...If i put it half way through the song I see the equalizer spikes but as soon as i press play it goes back to 0:00 and stops..........WTH?
