Help- Computer will not start. CMOS problem? |
| Posted by thcn - 07-24-08 14:15 - 1 comments |

Hi-
My computer started acting up yesterday. When I turned it on, the monitor would turn on. Then, it would begin going through its normal status checks and things, and hang up during the process, right after finding the "Primary Master" "Primary Slave" "Secondary Master" and "Secondary Slave"...
It listed three of the devices and no "Primary Slave".
Then it would freeze, and no matter what keystroke I made, it would not budge.
My dad suggested replacing the CMOS battery, which I did. The comp is seven years old, so it was about time.
I popped in a new CR2303, or whatever the right kind was.
Same thing happened again.
Can I have lummoxed something in the setup? I can still get into the CMOS setup by pressing "Delete", but it always hangs up after checking the slaves.
Thanks, if anyone can help me!

Hard Drive File Recovery |

Hi All,
Recently i thought that my PC was getting a bit slow so thought i would completely reinstall windows and start a fresh, but i did not want to do this on the HD that windows was running off at the moment, as i have lots of valuble data on there. So i thought i would use my secondary 500GB SATA HD instead, also with a lot of valuble things on there ie. music, films etc.
So what i did was to disconnect my main 80GB IDE HD that windows was running off and make the SATA drive my main one. So i booted up off my windows XP disk and started to go through to setup process, it came to a section where it talks about partitions and the setup wanted to format my drive, upon reading this i stopped the setup, as i did not want to lose my data. I put my PC back to its original state and loaded up XP as usual to find that my secondary HD does not have a name like before and when i double click on it, it says: this drive is not formatted, do i want to format it now.
So i was just wondering if there is any way of retrieving the data i had on it before, as i did not think installing windows would have lost me this data
Your help on this would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
