hi all, need a bit of help here,

just cleaned out my pc from dust and restarted it but my pc now wont see my
western dig 500 gb HD, i have windows xp on a 350gb and games on a raptor 70
gb but my main back up HD cant be seen, all conected with sata 2 cables

my pc hangs at the windows XP boot up screen until i disconect the larger
HD, then it boots ok seeing the raptor and the 350 gb HD's. there is still
power going to the HD and i have changed all the cables for new ones but
still nothing

has it gone bang, or do i need to reformat or is it somthing with windows
??????

with power still spinning it up, can i get a company to data transfer ????

cheers all

Have you tried installing the hdd that apparently is causing the issue
on another PC?
I would also check through the device manager for identified problems.
Thereafter, take a look at disk management.

I think I see your problem. You should be using U320 SCSI or SAS!

Hehe, Rita of the SCSI fetish again. This is complete
nonsense, of course.

My SCSI based system is still kicking away very nicely. I couldn't afford
the performance and reliability hit I would take if I were to switch to
SATA.
