Ok
Managed to get my system up and running after a few teething troubles
(mainly a dodgy graphics card). Now I seem to have the mother of all
problems.
Basically I'm getting random checkdisks on boot up (usually from cold boot)
on my serial ata drive. This seems to be happening more and more frequently
so I'm reluctant to turn the machine off at the moment. I'm not RAIDing my
disk (as I have only one) so I dont think its the RAID 0 data corruption
issue thats been doing the rounds on this forum.
This morning when I booted, the 'Press F4 for RAID Configuration' bit during
boot failed to detect my HD and windows didn't boot. The second time it
picked it up it got further but windows failed to boot and the 3rd time I
managed to get in.
I also had a BSOD last week which was something to do with NTFS.SYS. This
left me unable to boot, safe mode, recover, ERD Command or anything so I was
left with no choice but to fdisk and start all over again.
I'm thinking dodgy HD... but I wanna know what you guys think.
