I have a little problem here, i am gonna try to explain it so i can get some feed back on a solution or an explanation.
I was at a lan party this weekend playing nfshp 2 and it suddently froze. Rebooted, but when it tried to load windows it blue screened. It posted fine on my overclocked system. Yes its completly stable, ran prime95 and all those tests, havent had a problem with it for months. Took out my hds and plugged it into another computer and noticed some files where not accesable beacuse they were courrupt. When i first booted up on the other computer testing out my drive it wanted to run a scan disk on the ones from my other system. My primary drive had somefiles that i could back and others were currupted but on my secondary drive the thing was unreadable in windows saying the whole volume is currupted when accessing the drive. Some one at that lan party might have had a virus possibly? Happened before. Or did over clocking currupted my drives? I would think overclocking would just kill them.
I have a 60 gig maxtor that a reformatted and reinstalled windows 2k on it and my computer is running fine now. No signs of any physical dammage. My other maxtor 40 gb i am trying to recover some imporant files off of it before wiping it.
Should i try running a virus checker on the drives maybe?
HELP
Edit: Anyone know an easy yo use file recovery program?
