what exactly it says and which windows version?

(a better case, reinstalling windows without formatting the hdd wont delete your files)

you could boot with vista disk and chose "repair".

(afaik there is a "load driver" section in case it doesnt se you HDD)

i have some backups, but didnt backup my licenses and a bunch of plugins i bought the last month.. (and on top of it, i was just about to create new backups whan this happened)
additional problems occur with software activation. for example zbrush can be activated twice. i already have the second activation due to a similar problem. it is always the question if the company trusts you and resets the activation counter... (i hope so)

dataloss is not the big problem. its not funny, but its not that heavy weighted as when it comes to the software.

btw, yesterday i tried to boot with the vista dvd, but it hang when the strange green/cyan faded screen appeared. no chance to use that bootrec.exe (which i found some info about)

hi ello,

what for a harddrive is it ?

"www.Heise.de" wrote this days that Seagate-drives have big problems and dont boot anymore from one day to another under
certain circumstances.

Its a bug in the firmware. They released a patch but took it away as users kills their HD faster with it as before.

The data are still OK only the firmware denieds the Access.
In one of the first statements Seagate spoke from the Possibility to send them the HD and they restore the data.


I have such a HD too and hope that Seagate found a solution for this very close. In the Meantime I thank God each day my
computer starts up.

Here are the HD's
-Barracuda 7200.11
-Diamond Max 22
-Barracuda ES.2

This also happened two or three times to one of my harddisks, but this was not a system HD, it was just a data HD. I tried to connect it with an USB adapter and it worked. When I remounted it and it wokred again. I have now idea why. Maybe this helps you.
