I had a 250 GB harddrive with two partitions, XP 32 on one and windows 7 beta on other. I did the digitalriver thing and got my 7 pro 64. I opened it in 7 beta, but accidently wrote over my xp rather than my 7 install. No big deal, it saved all my files and it seemed to be working fine for about a week. I reformatted the 7 beta partition. Then I got a blue screen of death one day. Tried to restart and got the "A disc read error occured: Press CTRL + ALT + DEL to restart" in my boot screen. I disconnected the power from my pc and plugged it back in and started. It came on and got to windows and was workign, but I have been getting random crashes and getting that message in my boot screen rather often lately.
I am downloading the iso file from digital river right now to make a boot disc since they fail at shipping out the one i ordered. I am just going to reinstall and get rid of the partitions all together, do a clean install. Is this worth it, or is my drive toast?
Hopefully when I do that, everything will be fine.
If not, are there any suggestions for a good cheap fast drive? Just need it for a boot drive, 250 probably plenty big, I have another storage drive with everything on it.
Thx
