Hi,

 

I have a computer with three hdd's in it. Two of them are connected to IDE socket and last one to SATA. I have winXP Pro on 250gb IDE hdd and vista on 160gb IDE hdd. Since last night i can't boot any OS. Vista progress bar just keeps running all the time and nothing happens. XP crashes computer during boot up. I tried to re-install vista, but i cant even begin installation. It stops right before i should get window with language selection. Mouse is working, but nothing else happens. If i disconnect vista hdd, i can boot xp with no problems. When i disconnect XP hdd, vista wont boot. My motherboard is Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R. Is HDD with vista dead? BIOS detects all hdd's. Before this "accident" i had several BSOD crashes.
