[QUOTE="thetechmind, post: 946982, member: 8704"] so , well, part 2 continued from here : [url]http://www.techenclave.com/storage-solutions/this-what-i-call-hdds-revenge-152953.html[/url] So last evening my brother shuts the computer off. After around 30 mins or so , I start the computer and boom, blue screen staring at me and says - "howdy?!". I'm like - "Yea, fine whatever" So the usual cycle starts - 1) Swap RAM chips 2) Disconnect - Reconnect the HDD 3) Safe Mode 4) Last good known config. None of the above helps, I'm like - "Ok, here we go again" So, I pop in the windows disk for a repair, and it says the "Partition is Invalid and the usual jingle" I try to load using the bootable partition manager cd (cant remember the name as of now). It gives some sector read / corrupt errors and stops. Having learnt from my past experience, I had the data backed up from the hdd to my new external backup device. So well, whats killing my HDD's ? First the 320, which completely went dead and now the 250 which out of the blue ended up with lost and corrupt partition tables. 2 possibilities - a) Its just a coincidence b) The PSU (VIP 400W Gold) is up to some thing! I don't see any other reason which might have caused this. PS: I used Ubuntu too , in order to see if the partitions mount. 2 partitions mount and 1 doesn't, which is the boot partition. What next ?
