Hey All,
Can someone please help me out with a serious HD problem?
I have two seagate harddrives in my computer 160gb - 7200 spin. They are getting close to capacity and today i was using my computer as usual. I clicked to shut the computer down, and it was taking ages to actually shut down...so i just held the power button down and turned it off that way.
My problem is that on rebooting the computer my motherboard wont detect my two hard drives, ive tried plugging them into another IDE port but it didnt make any difference. On the plus side, my motherboard is detecting my DVD burner...
I can hear some sort of faint clicking noises coming from the two hard drives when the motherboard is trying to detect them....but it doesnt actually detect them.
Usual story, important data on the drives and no backups...grr.
I would really appreciate some help and ideas on how to solve this!!!
cheers,
Jeremy
