So thought to myself I haven't checked my hard drives in a while and installed something and because I haven't slept yet becacuse of this I've completly forgotton.

My windows drive was at 48C so thought I should also moved my hard drive arrangment from one on top of another in my cage. After I did this I got a NTLDR is missing and thought nothing of it and checked the cables. One of my drives (not windows) was on 40% health the other two on 100% so thought I should back it up but at the same time I ran and extended test then click run in backround then ran it again because I thought it had stopped. Then the mouse froze and it tok my a while to accept it had frozen because the num lock, caps lock keys were working and I thought I just pulled the cable out untill I put it back in and it was still frozen.

After a reboot the PC froze somewhere in the BIOS then gave me a chkdsk error. Then the CMOS reset itself and the PC continued to freeze but ran CHKDSK and fixed some files on the windows drive because I disconnected the others. I was trying the drive by it self and it would still freeze at various stages in windows or in the BIOS and now I'm getting the A disk error occurred, press ctrl alt delete.

What the hell have I managed to do I wish I had just left everything as it was and gone to sleep. :(
 
Change the hdd cables, they coud be faulty

Allready done that. Booted into windows and ran chkdsk for boot and now I'm in windows. The icon for my hard drive is showing an unrecognized file icon.

After a virus check I'm going to plug the other drives in.
 
Okay for some reason everything seems fine now. Feels like I went mad last night but after some sleep everything works great apart from my drive icons in my computer are missing. I've had this problem years ago and never found a way to fix it. Rebuiling ico cache in tweak ui doesn't work and after I did that the other two drive icons were missing when it was only the C: to start with.
