Hi Guys,
Not sure whats happening here - maybe someone knows:
I have a HDD that has failed (i think).
When I boot the PC i get the "no boot device detected" and it wont boot - fine what I thought was feck HDD bust....
However if I take this HDD drive and put it in as a second drive into a different PC that works (ie first drive boots fine) --- and i restart with both drives in place, I now get the message "no boot device detected" on that PC.
To me this does not make sense as if its a failed drive it still shouldnt affect the pc booting from drive1 (the original HDD with bootable OS on it). In fact the PC should boot and i may or may not be able to read from Drive2. Instead it will not recognise either HDD as bootable.
If i remove HDD2 the PC boots fine again. Its as if HDD2 is somehow corrupting.....;
Anyone any idea or suggestions or help - I want to be able to see if I can view the drive and get information from it (extraction software or whatever).
Many thanks for your help,
Ger.
