So,
In another system with a Gigabyte 970A- DS3P board and the AMD FX-8320, the main BIOS keeps getting corrupted every 1 or 2 months and once it recovers from the backup, the Windows installation goes for a toss. Then every time, I use the 'load drivers' trick to copy out files and reinstall Windows.
The Hard drive is completely fine and there are no problems there. I am thinking of changing the board to the ASUS M5a97.
So it happened again yesterday - my question is: To save time, can I plug the internal hard drive which has the corrupted Windows 7 + data to a working PC and copy out the data to the working pc? As long as I boot to the working pc's drive, will the corrupted Windows files on the connected drive affect my working pc?
Thanks and the reason its urgent is because I want the system back running asap. I thought this was all possible but just wanted to confirm with others.
