Inaccessible Boot Device

[ctid]

Hi,

I've just rebooted my pc, and whenever it tries to boot now, I get a stop error saying Inaccessible Boot Device, and my harddrive is making funny noises. Has it died, or is there something I can do?

Thanks

is your primary boot device your hard drive?

clear the cmos jumper and restart, funny noises being like clicking? could be fubared try that though

yeah my boot device is the hdd. its making loud noises as if its trying to access data. Will try clearing the cmos now.

The last thing i did with my pc was burn a DVD+R DL, and then my pc froze

[harry1]

maybe the cmos clear will sort you out then, post back

Harddrive was borked. Had to go out and buy a 160gb Maxtor SATA one. Finally got windows installed on it.
