The other day the power went off in my part of town and later that day i went to start up my pc and it hangs at the start saying " Detecting array..."
I noticed the little red light on the front of my pc isnt flashing either, usually when the hdd is loading.
I'm not geared up on knowledge about my bios, but i went into them and i saw in my standard cmos features something like...
IDE Channel 0 master None
IDE Channel 0 slave None
IDE Channel 1 master dvd drive etc
IDE Channel 1 slave cd drive etc
i tryed to get my hdd to auto detect, but nothing happened.
I really hope my hdd hasnt failed, as my computer is only 1 year old and i would hate to have lost the last 2 months data which i should back up more often .
Cables seem to be attached to my hdd fine and my computer specs are:
Gigabyte ga-k8n pro sli socket 939 mb
Athlon 64 x2 dual core 4400+
2 gig memory
6800 ultra 256mb
520watt psu
Any help would be great, as theres nothing worse than having my hdd fail
