hello
This is a new HDD.
well i was messing with the "OEM" cd for vista and tried to install the OS. But it failed and froze. so i turned it off.
that is where it made me frustrated.
It loads the gateway screen. then i see the " _ " dash blinking.
and then a blank screen.
I am guessing the HDD got corrupted ? It is making this high pitch eeking sound...
This is a GT5692 motherboard.
500 WD HDD
4 ddr2 667
phenom 8450
I have also tried my other mobo Biostar TF720. and it did the same black screen after the bio logo.
The thing is. I have tried to boot from my cd/drive with my xp. but it continues with a " _ " then a black blank.
so... Do i need a working HDD to boot from cd/drive? or is something else broken ?
I did not touch anything after the install of vista froze. i just turned it off, and it is blank...
The Bios does see the cd/drive and the HDD drive.
if what so ever the HDD is broken... I have read that Windows PE will be able to boot into the HDD and format it ... or is there any other ways possible to fix it ?
