What memory test? The POST?

Yes. Please don't tell me the worst.

What error does it give? It's hard to believe that overwriting a hard disk would be capable of destroying physical memory.

rmuir · 25 Jul 2006 at 21:46

this has gotta be a joke... lol. 70GIG of porn man you must have bicep of some size

and top it off the drive would now appear to be jiggered

Well it reads the memory and then when it would normall read the HDDs it stops. Looks like its crashed as the FAN RPMs arent moving. help?

Either the HD is dead or the windows installation has been corrupted - try and format again.

Imagine if you had tried to sell pron with her in as well as another 70gb and then announced it to the whole internet, would get more than a dirty look :eek:

I've removed the 160GB "Porn Drive" so it's just running my boot drive.
Something is seriously wrong here I wish I hadn't bothered.

GG, did you unplug your other hard disks before nuking as I reccomended above?

ROFL! Hilarious thread

This is as entertaining as the HARD drives (sorry, couldn't resist) section will ever get!

Another reason to create a comedy archive section.

link me to your auction, i'ma buy it and see what you're trying to hide, muahahahahahhaha

GoldenGlory · 25 Jul 2006 at 22:57

I DONT BELIEVE THIS :mad:

Even after DBAN, i've run windows, the data is STILL there.

What the F is going on?

Pookie Bear · 25 Jul 2006 at 22:57

hahaha...sorry, can't help you, but be buoyed by the fact that anyone who has set foot in this thread is laughing

Zefan · 25 Jul 2006 at 23:00

Have you actually tried just deleting the individual files in windows?

I mean, get rid of the porn by deleting to recycle bin and then at least THAT's gone. I know it'd take a while but... just wondering if you've even tried.

Then format?

Mr Jones · 25 Jul 2006 at 23:01

I thought electro-magnets are suppose to be strong enough to wipe or corrup all data on a HDD?

Can't you format it and write it over with 1s and 0s with a program... (can't remember

)

It is one of two, one has 4 days 22 hours the other 4 days 21

GoldenGlory · 25 Jul 2006 at 23:07

Right, I've tried deleting the porn etc in windows. It deletes it, but if I refresh the folder it re-appears. Something isn't right there.

I've tried both a Quick Format, and a Full Format.
I have run DBAN, the data still exists.

Next, i'm trying to make a boot disk, load windows and try format there.

Wish me luck.

lol, indestructable pr0n!

BillytheImpaler · 25 Jul 2006 at 23:21

You ran DBAN for a few minutes then got fed up with it. Why not run the whole thing like we suggested? Leave it overnight.

Ok, this might work. Go http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php and download the correct iso for your system. Set your BIOS to boot from CD and reboot with the iso correctly burnt (with nero or iso burning program). When it boots up you will be at a prompt saying "blah blah" but the important bit is where it says boot:
at this stage just press enter. When the GUI kicks in, find the correct drive and delete the partition and reformat as FAT32 or something, then delete the partition again. Reboot and check the HD

Am now trying this.
I have done nothing today except try to format this bloody HDD. Its boiling hot, I have so much to do and the drive will only profit £20 anyway.

Update: Seem to have killed my new NEC DVDRW by plugging in the molex whilst PC is switched on. :mad:

. Now off to find another drive.
