crunchMy Desktop PC has just thrown its 3rd Hard drive in 6 months!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was trying to work out why It kept on locking up and I couldnt!
I booted it up and discovered to my horror that the drive is now not detecting properly.. its coming up as 33 Gb instead of 120 Gb...
DAMN!!! ALL my games are now gone bye bye! :( All my MP3s have now gone bye bye (not so bad as they were all off my Cds from my CD shelf anyway)
But most importantly... My Install File Archive for my games and Applications has been lost
edit: Just changed the IDE bus the hard disks are on and the "faulty" drive boots up no problems at all and and I seem to be able to copy data from the disk top another one... OOOOHKAY!!... so is this my computer telling me its actually quite sick and the IDE controller is faulty? or is the drive just faulty?????? AHHK!!!!!.... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :( Maybe the other disks were just fine and its really the MOTHERBOARD thats faulty... Damnit....
Edit 2: Event Viewer/System: logs: Event ID 5: Source Atapi
A Parity Error was detected on \Device\Ide\IdePort0
Source: Disk Event ID 11
The Driver Detected a controller error on Device\Harddisk1\D
Im so screwed!!!!!!!!!!!!
