Black screen when Windows boots!

<< < (3/8) > >>

TLG11:
I updated the USB Controller and D: appeared again like nothing had happened (it did however rearrange my desktop and document shortcuts as they are redirected to D:). E: however is still not appearing. But it the same thing happened with that, it should still be intact. Just that it doesn't show up in Windows anymore.

I don't have a screenshot for the USB Controller thing anymore. I installed a download for it and D: came back. The warning sign disappeared too. I seem to be forced a reinstall of Windows, or alternatively use the tool provided here. Advice? I'm confused.

Shane:
If it is an external drive then the best test is to simply plug it into another machine.

If it doesnt show up in that machine either then you know it is the drive. If it does show up in the other machine then you know it is something on your system :wink:

                  Open the windows explorer.  Go to Folder options by selecting tools options. In the General tab, in the Navigation Pane enable the Show All folders and all folders corresponding the folders boxes. Now go to the explorer and see whether E drive is present

Scary thing happened. When I booted today there was a squeeling sound and a pop coming from inside the PC (couldn't be anything else than E: drive). The sounds were very faint, but at that point I lost all hope in ever regaining what is on there.

jraju:
Hi, may be your Smps has become unusable. This does not cause loss of data. try replacing the smps and then try to boot. The POP is a electrical surge that denotes, that there is some short circuit or extra surge of pulse, damaging the smps. That could be tried.
      Shane would be happy to help you more in this regard, as i have also experienced and then replacing the smps, the computer becomes normal.
               It has nothing to do with the drive or data. It is a electrical tab, distributing the electricity to the computers.
