Hey, my cousins computer has started displaying this message on a blue screen.

Is it the hard disk maybe? If so do you think by hooking it upto my pc that I could recover his information? He has all his company info on it.

ok cheers guys, does it matter that my hd is ide, and the broken one is sata ?

if it was a boot sector virus how would i go about getting rid of that ?

Ok, I have hooked it up to my other pc, but I cant find any software to make xp recognise the drive. I have searched all over the maxtor site but found nothing for a 6Y120MO.

Is there any other way to access it just to transfer files, without a driver ?

Ok im downloading one called a sata raid driver, does that sound like the right thing ?

carp, another problem now. when the drivers on my computer, the install wizard locates it and suggests installing the new raid driver, but when i click ok, it says accessed denied

looks like im gonna have to take it too a shop.

edit: should there be 3 leads going into a sata. Cause i only have the little one and the power. But theres another one that would fit in ?
