hard drive/mobo boot problems
so since today my pc wont boot.
My main hard drive, 500gb 70.11 seagate , with has the MBR (boot sector) didnt boot.
i guess it died since it didnt appear anymore on BIOS. im sure its getting powered and i guess spinning, i felt it.
I have a 1tb samsung F3 , with a clean windows 7 install and i thought i could just fix that by adding a boot sector to this other drive.
The thing is that i cant repair the windows installation on the F3 samsung HD because its not detecting a windows installation on the drive.
If i try to reinstall windows on it , i get a message saying that the controlers are not enabled on the BIOS.
Since i had never updated the BIOS on my mobo i got the latest bios for my gtx470s SLI and hoping the problem would go away.
I cleared the CMOS with jumpers and loaded default settings, but now the F3 HDD is not showing up anymore.
im a bit lost on this , im not to worried about missing the HDs info and not concerned either if anything went bad.
i had no internet for like 6 hours so i had tons of time to fix it but i had no access to the web.
im at work now and im gonna keep looking for answers , my rig is ready to go to the shop , there i can test the parts and start figuring things out...
any help on this would be appreciated.
