The Specs:
Biostar TF520 A2+ Motherboard
AMD 2.4Ghz Processor
2 GB Ram
500GB WD Hard Drive
Okay, here is what has happened:
Yesterday I went to turn on my tv with the HTPC setup, but the screen was black and it would not wake from sleep. So, I reset the computer and got the "Disk read error occurred" message.
I have updated the BIOS, checked the ram, and all the cables, but it still will not boot from the hard drive or the vista start up disk when the hard drive is connected.
If I disconnect the hard drive or set it as a "raid drive" (so it won't read the drive) the vista disk will boot up, but I have no hard drive to work with at that point.
I connected another hard drive with XP on it to see if it would load up, but that gives me the same error.
So, at this point I am thinking the Motherboard is the problem. I can still see everything in BIOS and it recognizes the HD, but it won't boot up.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be great.
