Hi, I have this problem... It all started when power supply went very low on my house,
computer was on while this happened and somehow it screwed my HD, coudn't boot, safe
mode resulted on mup.sys hang, can't go to recovery console (it hangs while examining
the HD), I tried to install XP again but again it hangs while examining the HD, also
tried moving the HD to another computer with no luck, changed the jumpers to slave
but it would just hang in the startup in the other machine, tried different jumper
configurations and the drive was unformatted (it prompted me if I wanted to format
the drive...), I can read from the HD when I boot with an ntfs file reader I got
off the web but that doesn't fix the problem.
After all that I got here, so I tried swapping memory, resetting BIOS to optimal,
unplugged ethernet card, downloading software to test the HD (and every test was
passed, even a whole surface test), so I don't know what to do...
Someone posted something that seemed very similar to the problem I have with the
HD (it was Peter I think), and I'm going to try installing W2K on another HD and
see if it can read (and fix) the drive.
Any comments are welcome, thanks.
