Sorry I didnt get on last night. I was looking forward to a good game with all of you + the new guys. But as the title suggest i think my hard drive has gone to PC heaven.

When i boot it jams at the desktop. When i boot from the recovery CD i get blue screened and it says lots about my hard drive. And i've tried booting from a Linux CD and it freezes. Any ideas??

If the HD has gone does any1 no of anyway I could possibly use to rescue stuff from it. Eg the music collection ive amassed over the last years.

surely if you booted from a linux cd it by-passes your hard drive? perhaps something else is up...

have you been overclocking recently?

nah i havent overclocked. I put a new PSU and Gcard in yesterday. Then when I did a load of uninstalls everything went to the shitter

fresh install of xp should do the trick =]

that or look for a driver cleaner - basically software that gets rid of any remains of unused drivers that could clog up your system

found out wasn't my hardrive. As my brotyher managed to force entry onto it and copy everything off. So I guess i will be installing XP or Vista 64bit. Anyone no where I could get Office 07 for a good price/ free (and not of Bitorrent)

you mean software can be acquired through places other than bit torrent? good grief
