[NF] SATA Drive & a Dead PC...

Hello there folks,

Here's the deal. I have a desktop PC that was my main PC - but, it died

several months ago. I have my laptop - which has been my primary

computing device for quite a while now - but, the desktop PC has some

stuff on there that's not on my laptop.

FYI - the computer does attempt to Boot up - and even starts loading the

OS (WinXP Pro 64) - and comes up with the MS logo. But, during the boot

up - it eventually fails and drops to a BSOD screen - which is always a

lovely thing to see!

Someone on the list here (although he hasn't gotten back to me in a

while - and I think he has been busy and hasn't been checking e-mails

for a while) suggested I connect the main boot drive to another computer

- and run ChkDsk. Well, I tried connected it to my laptop - but, the OS

did NOT actually "SEE" the drive. I attempted to actually connect it

inside of my wife's PC - but, when it booted - Same thing - it was like

the OS could not "SEE" the drive!

So - I'm getting kinda desperate here - and hoping someone can help me

out. Again - if I put it BACK in the original PC - it does attempt to

Boot - but, then the BSOD comes up...

TIA,

-K-
