    Oh Noes!!!!

    Well last night, i was trying to sort my games jerking problem out, to make sure that i had tried everything i could to fix it, i pluged in an old hard drive, and asked ghost to make an image onto it.. rebooted and "No OS" so i deleated *** partition as a guide said and "Missing NTLDR" so i tried for a few hours to repair this before giving up, just as i did this one of my hard drives became unformated.... i installed windows and it got to the welcome screen then blue screened and reset continualy.

    Then my hard drive started going Beep Crack Beep Crack Beep Crack... disturbing so i disconected it, tried my hard drive that was left widows says "C:\ Is Corupted and cannot be repaired press any button to exit" So i thought crap 90GB.... the last 4 years of my PC life corupted....

    I pluged in the 20GB HDD that is my spare again and tried installing windows... but it gets so far into the instaltion and bam.... *Blue Screen Of Death* I swear it laughed at me..... no matter what i try i cannot get windows installed Before it blue screens...

    So my question be this, what could cause this? Is it worth repairing? Will there be any way for me to get my data back off the corupted hard drive?

    The hard drive says its formated in NTSF still, and also says there is 69GB free im sure there should be less free... but i dont wanna lose all my stuff so if anyone can help i will love them forever heh.

    I have tried different memory in different slots btw.... not much else i can try....first pc jerking.....then norton ghost.... then dead hard drive and corupted hard drive and inability to isntall windows.... what the hell is going on :S (Had Mobo, CPU, Mem, PSU, Graphics Since May 05)

    Perhaps try Memtest? Or the various utilities on UBCD? (Includes Memtest, Prime95 and various HDD checkers)

    a dodgy / scratched copy of the windows install CD can cause blue screen errors when installing - I always install from a copied CD and keep the original in mint condition. However my last copy was seriously crappy for some reason and I'd already formatted so used the original CD....installed fine....it's possibly your CD which has become damaged.

    Memtest boots off a floppy. UBCD is the Ultimate Boot CD i.e. it is a bootable CD.

    What was the problem of the jerky games, this mabe one of the early sighns of something going wrong, you say you were trying to fix it with changing settings so i suppose it wasnt a performance need issue?

    Also a craped up installation cd is bad as said above, are you using an original or a backup cd?
