In my 8 years as a computer tech I've never came across a problem like this, maybe you guys can help me out...
Well for starters, the hard drive in my laptop died, so I found an old 40GB 2.5" drive laying around, popped it into the laptop, installed Fedora, restarted, wouldn't boot...tried XP, same result.
So I installed the drive in my main machine(not to boot off of, still booted off my regular drive), did an error scan, everything came back fine. Then loaded up 40GB of data on it, all the data remained fine, let it run a couple days periodically checking on the data, no corruption. So I try to install an OS on the drive with it in my main machine, same result, won't boot an OS.
Any ideas? |

When I built a friends computer, I could not install windows on it no matter how many times I tried. Figured I'd zero the drive and go to sleep while it did it's thing.
Wake up, it's done, everything works.
Don't get it, never will. It was brand new. It's worked fine since.  |

I'll try zeroing the drive when I go to bed tonight and see what happens. |
