Before you have ago, searching only found "Sorry no answer could be found" and no other documents seemed to show.
Before I return my drive for a new one, I'm wondering if someone could help me. I custom built a new pc about a month ago. Worked fine, until yesterday. The motherboard got stuck at the splashscreen and just wouldn't go past it. After researching I found that hardware could be 'confusing' the motherboard. And so I sent about an disconnecting my hardware to find that once my hard diskwas unplugged, it posted fine and went past the splash.
As expected, reconnecting it made it freeze at te splash again, I wanted to backup and format the drive. So I instaled Damn Small Linux to a memory stick in an attempt to boot up and access the drive (somehow) and backup then format it. No luck, it didn't actually find the drive, I am on a laptop now or I'd try the drive in another PC. But, I'm looking to see if someone else has had/fixed this problem and can help me. The last thing I want to do is get a replacement and lose all my data.
Help MUCH appreciated.
