So tonight I get back from my trip, go to start up my computer, and the computer beeps claiming te video card has came unplugged. So I thought no problem Ill just plug it back in. Well I go and plug it in, boot up the computer and it loads up fine to the windows login screen.
Now when I was putting back on the case door my fan hit a wire and when I tried to fix it i accidently unplugged the wire and it hit the wire it was plugged into and the computer just shut off and I am guessing this was caused by a short.
So now Windows will NOT recognize any of my hard drives. I get to the Windows XP loading screen with the blue bar and it just sits there or reboots.
When I went into safe mode I get a blue screen that say
UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
So I put in my recovery CD, go to the recovery console, and it will not read any of the hard drives I have. Now here is the funny thing, the BIOS and everything recognized that both hard drives are plugged in or else I wouldn't even get to that point in the Windows loading screen.
Does anyone have any recommendations other than re-installing Windows?
If noone thinks that I can do anything but re-install Windows, any tips on how I can actually re-install it when Windows won't even recongnize any of my hard hard drives?
The hard drives I have are 2xRaptor 76GB 10,000 RPM in RAID 0 and 1 160GB Barracuda. I had to get help installing raid on my ASUS SK8V motherboard so I'd rather not have to re-install Windows since I will probably not be able to get RAID going without help, and I do not want to format my drives under any circumstances.
What should I do? HELP!!!!
