BadAim Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 The reason I didn't come back was my computer wouldn't start. Apparently my primary drive is borked cause the computer won't even recognize it. Crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snacko Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Can you boot from a usb or CD to check it? Anyhow, send me a pm if you want that thingy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadAim Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 Crazy &*^%$*& computer! I had to reassign my primary drive as the 1st drive in order for it to show up in the boot order list. What the *(&^%$ ! I really should just expect this crap by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BadAim Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 Oh, yeah everything's fine now except the reason why the damn thing crashed in the first place. It seems what happened is that the BIOS reset itself at the crash, which I'm used to, but it also set the primary drive as the secondary drive while it was at it. In my BIOS, for some reason you have to set the drive priority in a separate "Hard Disk" section then only the primary drive shows up in the "Boot Order" section. I either forgot about this or just never noticed. I'm glad I didn't panic and do something drastic before I sat down and went through the problem calmly and methodically. C'est la vie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, I'm kinda in the same boat, I'm not around much either, which just makes it all the more frustrating when I have stupid computer problems.
