wingzero2309 Posted July 20, 2005 CID Share Posted July 20, 2005 are you allowed to reformat it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chais82 Posted July 20, 2005 CID Share Posted July 20, 2005 reformatt it or find out who makes the hard drive and go to there website they might have a program which can fix it. I had a hard drive that a thought sh!t the bed. I went to the site grabed there hard drive test program and used it to reformatt it cause trying to formatt it any other way wouldnt let me. The program put I think all zeros at the beginning and end of the hard drive which somehow made it to let me formatt it. I could be wrong about zeros it could have been ones but thats not the point. Make a long story short see if theres a program for ur hard drive at the website its manufactured from.If ur lucky like I was theyll have a diagnostics program to fix it. Maybe someone else will know of a program thats universal to all hard drives but im not sure if there is one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grambler Posted July 20, 2005 CID Share Posted July 20, 2005 Yup, Freeze it for 20 to 30 minutes. Then take it out, plug it in and turn it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
destroySBC Posted July 20, 2005 CID Share Posted July 20, 2005 now this sounds different to me sounds like a problem with the mobo if it wont change the sequence and yes freezing it does help sum how it does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
destroySBC Posted July 20, 2005 CID Share Posted July 20, 2005 ok im gonna go on a limb just thought of this ......is the jumper in the right spot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYRIAGON Posted July 20, 2005 CID Share Posted July 20, 2005 Do you have an old H.D.(one you don't care too much about) with an OS on it that you could hook up, and if it does the same thing , it's probably either a memory prob. or MB (corrupt BIOS) Also check ribbon cable for defects, bent pins on the H.D. and MB where the cable connects. Good Luck..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orignal_Cronicus Posted July 20, 2005 Author CID Share Posted July 20, 2005 ok its geting late 11pm our time, but i did check the jumpers, i dont think they sabatoged hardware just mayeb deletes sumthing important r sum shit but were stil cluieles on why it wont boot to anything even a flop[y or cd, o the floppy wasent even pluged in right rofl, maybe they are f&&&&& the hardware but i dont think so... time is shoirt tic toc tic toc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VampireXxX Posted July 20, 2005 CID Share Posted July 20, 2005 it sounds like you have a corrupt BIOS. When you start the puter, do you see memory check, processor speed etc ??? edit : does it connect to network or internet? if so, try scanning the puter, maybe your pbr was infected. Here is an article abt that http://www.mmg.vmei.acad.bg/peuwnt4s/ch29.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
