Okay after spending almost all day on my computer I have come to a conclusion. My WD 160gb hdd is screwed up. I plugged my uncles hdd into my computer and voila it works (using it to type this). Kinda funny I actually have the two computers sitting next to each other with my cables running to his hdd, at this point I'm just too lazy to swap them[8D]
ANYWAY any suggestions on how I can fix the hdd if its a software problem. Could I just load windows onto the another hdd make it a primary and boot with it to get the data off the WD and then format and see if it works?
I'm pretty sure its physically ok. I just ran a test on it a few weeks ago and its only 6 months old with very little use.
