My media hard drive lately has not been working at all. It started one night when my tower fell over. I got the blue screen of death and had to turn off my comp. I turn back on my comp, and my media HD is not showing up. I open my comp and it the hard drive power cable had come unplugged. So i plug it back in and turn the comp on again. This time, when i turn it on, i hear a strange whirring sound get loud, then two crunching noises, then the whirring sound gradually get quieter, all over the span of 5 or so seconds. It kept repeating this. I then got an error saying something like: PATA Parallel 5 error something like that. So i hit f1 to continue and the whirring stops. But the hard drive still does not show up. So i figure somethings fucked up with the hard drive. But whats wrong and how do i fix it? I have 200 gigs worth of pirated movies, music, games, tv shows, etc., so bringing it to "the guy" is pretty much out of the question. |

Bringing it to a local computer shop, "the guy" won't care and will probably have twice as much of it as you google came up with nothing. your HD is probably just bucked, and you've no choice but to bring it. Maybe you unplugged it without ejecting and it got screwed up? |

New HD time, xfer the data while you can still access it & stop throwing your CPU on the ground in a fit of joy. Seriously though a HD is like $50.. just buy a new one and x-fer the data. |

You're fucked dude. the only person who MIGHT be able to do anything about it would be "the guy," even still it's more than likely he can't do anything about a broken HD otherwise you gotta start from scratch and redownload all your lost movies. |

umm, bring it to a guy, he should be able to access your information and transfer it, unless he is some twobit fraud. | ||
