Hello Everyone,

I am new to HardForum and have heard great things about this place. gj. Anyways, I have a problem with my computer and do not know if this is the right section to post it. In my case i have a fan that is connected to a PSU wire, wat i had done was cut the wire and connect the fan and then tape it with electric tape since i didnt have that thing on fan with wat u can put it on the mobo or the end of the psu wire. so now today i accidently disconnected the black wire that was connected to the fan, and the whole comp just shut down. lol. another thing i think u guys should know is that the wire i connect my fan on had another end connected to the HD. so now when i try to restart my comp it gets on the AMD screen that shows my cpu stats and it reads my primary and secondary drive and then it comes to this screen where i have a flashing _ and it stays there for the whole time and neva loads xp. so i need some serious help. and hope u guys can think of something that i could do here. thanks alot.

I don't know what to say about your problem, but just wanted to say welcome to the forum

If you have another hard drive that you can throw in there to test, try that.

I'm going to assume you're running winxp:

Boot from the windows disk and choose "r" to run the recovery console.

Type chkdsk /r after logging on to your windows.

Hopefully that will work, it's what I would try first if you can access teh drive.
