OOH! I had the same annoying crap on my old PC, back when win vista was in business. I just turned my HD in another computer, formatted it with windows vista and it worked again when I put it back on my old pc.

OH! That may work for Glurion too...
@Glurion Don't waste time....

Will have to give that try....now who do i know with SATA ports ...hmmm...

me

on serious note : no second pc around or friends who have a pc that is max 6 years old?

Me too...
But I think SATA ports are quite new...

i'm pretty sure my housemates machine has SATA ports (i will have to check my ebuyer account since i built it for her), if not theres always my other mate who i built a machine for, shame my parents machine has a motherboard failure thats got 4/4 unused.

On another note i'm pretty sure my CPU is giving up on life slowly.... we had a thunderstorm and it hit a transformer near my house, power went out, and the fuse on the plug didn't do it's job, computer was abit laggy to afterwards, working fine now, but it blew a fan and one of the LED's in my reservoir >< (6 core AMD please lol)

not really, they have been around for about the same time LGA775 was made afaik

EDIT: even before. it was made during the P4 (478 socket) times : 2003

:-) Go to the shop and buy external hd case, fix the problem, bring it back and say it doesn't fit. Money back and problem fixed

HOHOHO.....Why that didn't came in my mind....and not to forget make some really innocent face....

Just to let you know (and so if anyone ever has the same problem heres the solution that worked for me) i fixed it today, i went to stick my hdd in my parents comp but there PSU had no SATA connectors, so i stuck it back in mine and ran KillDisk to completely wipe the hdd, it seemed to solve the issue and i am happily typing this on Windows 7 Pro (ah the prettyness is back , unfortunatly i'm now stuck waiting for visual studio 08 & 10 to install).

Thanks for all the help guys.
