Ok, I find this strange. I was messing around, being pissed that my secondary drive wasn't working due to my lack of giving a shit. A couple of months ago I was pissed off at my computer so I decked it, and doing so locked up my primary drive. Luckily, I had Linux on my secondary drive and got Win XP Pro (upgrading from Win2K Pro) and installed that. Afterwards, I uninstalled linux.
Just now, I decided to ScanDisk my D: drive (the fucked up one) because whenever I tried to format, it would hang. When I would tell Scandisk to start, it would exit itself, so I said fuck it. Then about five minutes later, my power flickered, for no fucking reason, and it caused my computer to reboot. Then, as the OS loaded, I noticed that my system found new hardware. It said 'M2 C13 H54' or something, like some weird formula, then converted into 'Hard Drive'. After that, I decided to reformat again. It didn't hang this time, but it said that the format could not be completed and then the D: drive disappeared. I was thinking, what the fuck........so I decided to add new hardware.
This time, it found the drive and two other drives......which is impossible, so I figured that they were just partitions of the D: drive, which is.....strange. Anyways, so I had drives C, D, E, I and J. I tried formatting D: and it said that it couldn't be formatted again, then drives D, I and J disappeared from the drive list. Now, what the fuck is this? Does anyone know? Is the head or one of the discs dead? I don't really get it.
