Hey everyone!
Second post here. Right now I'm preparing to switch to a new $800 rig. My current PC is a miserable piece of crap. But it has all my games, movies and music. So I value it. At least the HDD.
My SATA3 runs at 7200RPM, it's a Barracuda 500GB. And as of last weekend, it's gone crazy.
Whenever I boot up, it makes this whirring noise then a sort of Daft-Punk-like KRRRRR from Contact, then whirrs again and goes KRRRR. It doesn't stop.
So after the BIOS greet, it goes black and says:
DISK BOOT FAILURE. INSERT DISK AND PRESS ENTER.
All cables plugged in right, and it does work once every 20 bootups, but Windows 8 (Dev Preview) freezes at loading screen and Windows 7 (Ultimate) works super slow. Like Pentium 4 and 256MB DDR2 slow if it works at all.
What do I do?!!
I want all my saves and games, my movies and music- I can't just start fresh!
Help will be appreciated!
