Default Diagnose my HD. Please

So. Basically, whenever my computer tries to access it, it freezes completely. Even in the BIOS settings, when I highlight the Boot Order option that should display the possible means of booting the PC. Haven't tried (yet) acessing the HD through a Linux Live-CD distro due to lack of time but I fear it will be to no avail, since I think it will end up freezing either when it starts listing the media or when I try to actually access it :thdn:

What could be the problem? Faulty IDE/power cable? I think this has already happened before but was solved with some.. luck. Suggestions?

Thanks in advance

How exactly would a Mac fix what seems to be a hardware problem? Do they use some kind of secondary storage other than HDs?

I was just kidding because I don't know how to fix your issue.
On a more serious note though Macs freeze way less often than PCs and have way less problems so having a Mac may have prevented you from ever facing this issue

Macs are **** unless you're some sort of graphic designer or a pretty boy.

We have the dual core ones at school, with both Mac and XP on. I am ALWAYS on the XP side unless im making the DVD i need to do for my coursework.

I see, although I think that I slightly disagree on the having a Mac preventing HD issues
But thanks anyway

Faulty IDe, IDE Controller fubar'd. Drive in park zone (give it a sharp knock with your palm whilst powered on). Faulty dma controller. Overwritten MFA table

Other than that, faulty drive, theyere cheap these days so unless you had vital data on it then write it off to experience of taking backups.

So my only hope is punching it back to life then? My old CD recorder seems to work fine so does that write off the IDE Controller/dma controller faults?

If they're both on the same cable, then for that IDE connection, yes.

If not, try plugging your HD into the second IDE connection
