My PC can't boot anymore if i have my 200gb HDD on power, (I got 2 HHDs) Is there a way to repair that? 180/200 gb of data! I don't want to lose that. Problem: I don't know what kind of HDD it is, only 200gb 7200 rpm --------------------

It would really help if you knew who the drive manufacture was. You could always download western digital, maxtor, or the seagate HD software & use each to test the drive to see if the there is something wrong with it. I think the seagate software will do a basic check even if the drive is not a seagate HD. -------------------- --How few our real wants, and how vast our imaginary ones!--
