I wake up this morning and noticed something odd with my pc. I go to check my computer and a hard drive is missing. Weird I say so I go into event manager and have a look.
So is there a way I can check to see if this drive is pooched?
This is my one year old WD 180 gig Special Edition drive!! and had all my data on it.
Ok this is goofy - I turn off my pooter and unplug the ide cable, reboot - had to go into bios and reconfig my boot up sequence, seems my original boot up sequence got changed, everything boots up nice, windows xp loads properly all systems go...
I turn off the pooter, insert the WD data lifeguard utility diskette, plug the ide cable back into the hard drive, turn on pc, lifeguard starts, I test the 180 gig hard drive and it returns with no errors, I restart the pc and everything boots up properly and all my data is intact, its like nothing happened...
The drive is not making any weird noises it seems to be running as good as the day I bought it.
