Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 As some of you may know I am currently occupied entertaining some friends. But I have just found out my C: drive on my main gaimng rig has taken a dump. Unfortunately my XP disc is in another country. I will try to resolve this by Sunday so that I can participate, if not I have access to TS and the server on my backup PC so I will be able to communicate with you and move the race on to race mode on Sunday I will keep you posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 Yes we are. Following a series of intermittent c: drive errors, chkdsk warnings and finally failure to boot I went out and bought a 500gb seagate barracuda to replace my 150gb Raptor. I have 2 raptors in this machine, one for the os and one for the games., when I went to disconnect the sata I suddenly realised I didnt know which was which, so I reconnected the SATA and at that point noticed the power connector for the drive was almost hanging off. So I simply pushed the power plug properly into the drive and suddenly all my intermittent errors and boot failure went away. DOH. I recently installed a 3rd 750gb drive on this machine and in so doing I must have dislodged the power cable, then vibration and a repositioning of the PC acouple of times to access the back did the rest. But all is well now and I will be adding the 500gb drive to my media pc 2 Thanks for reminding me to finish off this tale and its worth remembering to check power cables if you have drive problems. As I like to say quel cauchemar!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 hehehe glad its sorted, thats the thing though, it can be as little as a loose cable which makes you think everything is corrupted. So at least you got 500gb of space out of it catch you online later no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
