I have a Gateway DC2.8 system with 3 250 GB HDs on it. I added a 320 GB HD to it and now it won't boot. All drives are SATA and it is not raided. I did briefly unplug the system drive and move the sata cable but later moved it back
Every time I try to boot it up it goes to checkdisk and gets to 28% on step 2 and stops. If I forego the checkdisk it will get all the way to the start-up chime and then reboot.
I tried running the recovery on it and it goes corrupt. Any idea what I can do to save this sucka? I have all my kid picks on that drive or I'd be tempted to nuke it and start fresh. i also have a bunch of good docs. on there I don't want to use.
