My Hdd gave a BSOD 3 days ago and then 2 of the 3 drives disappeared so i thought my hdd is gone!!. When i booted my pc via Win 7 DVD, the 2 drives were still no where to be found!. I tried to boot my pc via iBoot and i was able to boot windows again, and i formatted the 2 hidden drives, and re-installed windows and it booted normally. So what say is my HDD about to go??:cry:

why dont you use an app such as speedfan or some other hdd app and check the S.M.A.R.T values... you'll know exact condition of your hdd
