|I had a strange problem with my Maxtor 5.2 GB hard drive last night. I was
|playing a game (Forsaken) and when I quit the game, I immediately got a
blue
|screen with disk read/write error, press any key to continue. Pressed any
|key and the system is just hung up. Drive light is on. Press restart. Go
|through post and then get hard disk failure message, "Press del to enter
|.... F1 to continue." F1 eventually leads to insert a system disk message.
|At some point I get a message that there is no FAT table. Boot from a
|floppy and try to look at C, nothing there. Try to Fdisk ... get message -
|"no fixed disk present." Restart and go into setup. Go to IDE HDD auto
|detect tab and manually select the HD. Restart and the system boots all
the
|way to a "GDI.exe missing, reinstall windows message". Restart, boot to
|safe mode. Nothing is apparently wrong. Restart again and all is well.
I would check my connections if I were you, maybe they are loose.
