Hard Drives

[Zachow 1st MRB]

Crap now that the blue screen is fixed i got the blue screen and now my computer doesn't boot off of the hard drives and when I put in my boot disk it tries to reinstall vista and then it tells me that my 1tb is only 931.5GB. I've had this once before and it got fixed but I can't find the email.

If you can get on Vent I can discuss this with you further and more in depth, I know a few things about boot blue screens, and the 1TB isn't going to be a whole 1TB, there's always going to be a fair bit of data missing from the drives, my 500 only reads as like 460.

UPDATE

Apparently something wiped his drive clean totally, it seems a new Vista install is necessary however, the Vista install disk isn't finding the hard drives on AHCI mode properly. At the moment, I'm trying to help Zachow play around with the different HDD BIOS settings, seeing if there are different results in RAID configuration or IDE configuration.

I will not be available until late tomorrow evening, so if this issue isn't resolved tonight it is on the top of my priority list to fix as soon as I can.

Have you checked your connections? Made sure that it is booting off the right drive, with the OS on it. (If your running more than one drive) Check that your jumpers or selectors are on cable select and that the master drive is e one with the OS on it. Otherwise hit me on vent, steam, text or talk with Janke.

SATA drives have no jumpers, the master is determined based off of which socket the drive is plugged in to. SATA are a bit different from the old IDE devices you're thinking of Le. When we last opened the computer all drives were installed correctly. When we went to the Vista install setup, his main drive was registered as unallocated space. I had him allocate it, but apparently Vista didn't like the way it was allocated. I may need to have him delete the partition and re-allocate the space.

It's true, I said it. So me fixing it again is like me ripping it's cock off and slapping it with it's own cock.

If you go to sleep before it's fixed then you will get raped by my computer and then a monkey with AIDS.

I'd love to see them try. I've beaten one computer to death before, I can damn well do it again.

Ok, I'm at a loss now, I can't help him anymore over the Internet, I'm at a total loss as to what could be causing it, and not being able to browse the BIOS I can't fiddle with the settings. I'm gonna let your tech support send you that e-mail on how to fix it again, seeing as they did it once before.

I would like to thank Mr. Hatfield of the 6th RB for fixing this issue for Zachow, and apologize for not being able to fix it myself. Glad your computer is working again though.
