Hard drive won't allow boot ...

[abeSapien]

Hello eveyone.
All of a sudden I'm having some issues with my hard drive. Right after the windows screen that shows the loading is done I'm getting a blue screen of death and my computer restarts.

I'm getting this blue screen even AFTER I put my hard drive in another computer as a slave (booting from ANOTHER HD).

I've also tried putting my HD into a usb enclosure .. my computer picks it up as a usb device but for whatever reason It's not bringing up a drive letter so I can't explore the HD.

Do you think I have a virus? ... is the HD broken somehow? Anyone ever encounter this type of problem .. any help would be great!

If you haven't done so, download the diagnostic/repair software from the hd web site. Put the software onto a Floppy, put the drive into the computer and boot to the Floopy. If you can't fix the problem, you should at least find out what's going on and reformat the drive, which often fixes these problems. You'll lose everything on the disk if you format it. Also should let you know if the hd is trashed
