karlunity Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 My computer powered off for a second or two and when it came back up, the startup screen said: that the system had changed. When I hit "delete to check, the screen reported the HD as missing...I had to install a new HD. Any ideas... Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlunity Posted December 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 I put the HD into another computer. The other computer was able to pick up the HD and I was able to reformat. The MBR code had been changed but why or how ???? Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimro Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Could be a virus, could just be a disk failure. Is there any other symptoms, like a "rattling" sound? If so that indicates imminent disk failure. Jimro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
