At this point i would have to say that my data is all gone. i can download whatever is on the web server but all of the articles and reviews that I have been working on are gone.  Silly me. I have tried to install windows on two different IDE drives and all i get is "Copying files needed for windows setup". I also put together a SCSI RAID and tried that. My brand new 430 watt Enermax PSU decided that it did not like the SCSI RAID. Instead it decided that it likes to burn up the floppy connector. Smoke was just pooring out of my 120mm exhaust like it was a smoke stack. I still managed to get the RAID up and running though. It still says the same thing. It's like the system will not allow the data to be put on the drive. I don't know what to do. Where is the problem? I used different drives. Maybe the virus is memory resident. I will try switching ram. Other than that I don't know what to do. I am going to a computer fait tomarrow so I will have any parts I need available to me. I was going to buy a new MOBO. One of the new Abit ones that ROCK! We shall see. ??? > :'(
