Yeah dude.. Its my turn to be the victim today!

I dunno why, after doing some maintenance inside my casing, the ckhdsk blue screen is taking place everytime I boot up my pc at my E: drive

[ I have 2 160GB WD SATAII drives. 1 (2 partition, around 79GB each drive C and E) and the other 1 is 4 partition (39GB each) drive D,F,G,H ] - My WINDOWS file is in D drive..

However, Drive C is UNREADABLE and after being fully formatted in Windows, this error message appear.



I lost ALL my videoclips in that drive, and I tried to recover it using File Scavenger.



Question:
1. Is my drive corrupt?
2. How about warranty, is this problem covered?

Thanks for any help!

Hi again...

After trying by myself, I've got my solution.


STEP 1 - Is the drive ok?

1. Shut down Windows
2. UNPLUGGED the OK drive, leave the problem drive stick at MOBO
3. Insert WinXP bootable CD.
4. DELETE the unaccessible partition.
5. Create partition in unpatition space
6. FULL FORMAT the newly created partition.
7. Install WinXP as usual.

*If you noticed, If the drive really corrupted with bad sector etc, it cannot be formatted or even being installed.

Step 2 - Recovering Files

1. I'm using File Scavenger 2.1
2. Read manual first, usually File Recovery program like mine, we will use EXHAUSTIVE SEARCH in the drive related. In my case, we will recover file in DRIVE C:.



3. Find the file, example... I need my NFS most wanted PROFILE data, so I will search [remember_your_file_dude!], if a documents file, just type in *.doc. In my case, I'll find speedo because I remember my profile in NFS Most Wanted

4. Recover it anywhere in other partition.



5. File Scavenger recover the main folder also dude.... That's an option. Copy your recovered file, and paste it at Most Wanted folder in My Documents. Walla! Your career mode now is safe without you have to play it again!

if the disk STILL being 'chkdsk' (blue screen check disk) every time you boot, that's mean the drive is either have other problem or DISMOUNTED.

1. START>RUN>CMD (bring up the command promt)

2. chkdsk [drive]:\f

settle.

I dont know... Its probably because.. When u try defrag the problem partition, Windows will give notes that the partition have been scheduled to be chkdsk when boot up.

After I chkdsk'ed it with cmd prompt in windows, then I can defrag it and no more boot chkdsk for that partition.

I've send the error simptom to ABIT tech staff and waiting for their answer.. The problem just strike again for me just now.. I dont know why...

I've submit the error log from Microsoft

Attached thumbnail(s)

maybe to other users too.. Many users complaining about the system will crash when connecting to network (especially when using P2P proggies)...


Still testing...
