lost files
Boggin:
Glad to see the reinstall sorted that missing file problem.
Just used to using laptops, I'm not into desktop hardware of things.
If this not communicating error is a recent thing then I would say the way you have them connected is fine, but you could run a chkdsk /r on the ext. drive.
The cmd would be chkdsk x: /r where x is your drive letter for the ext. drive.
It's report would remain on screen without the need for a reboot to execute.
As for checking to see what the chkdsk /r reported for the internal HDD, open Event Viewer ensuring Event Viewer (Local) is highlighted in the left pane, expand Windows Logs when it has read the data then click on Application/Action/Find then type chkdsk or wininit into the Find box and press enter.
Cancel the Find box then read the log in the scrollable window below, noting if it reports any KBs in bad sectors.

dont understand how could i run a chkdsk /r on the ext. drive....its an optical drive!
thanks
i can post a jpeg of error i got

error, thanx for looking
Boggin:
I was under the impression that it couldn't communicate with an ext. HDD that you had the image on.
You could try creating new disks or put them onto USBs which could eliminate the DVD drive.
qaz:
yes ur right image is on usb hhd, i need linux or pe to access it at boot time
i could make new disc but ive got several linux disks which don't work either, and a couple of others that do. do u still think next step is make new disk?
