Sorry guys, I know I just got back. Last night we had a power outage and although I use a surge protector my harddrive got fucked up. I've done every troubleshooting option and ran any kind of repair disk out there. No luck. For some reason there isn't a single store in austin that has a western digital black 1TB in stock, and no store has a Samsung 250g ssd. I ordered an ssd online and it should be here late thursday, the plan is to install windows 7 on it, clean upgrade to Windows 10, then see about setting up my messed up harddrive as a slave to recover exremely, EXTREMELY, important data. If that's possible, I'll try to fix it and set it up as a second drive, although I find that unlikely. After I recover the files (fingers crossed) I hope western digital lives up to their 5 year warranty and can send a new drive. This couldn't have come at a worse time budget-wise but if WD can replace the drive I should be fine. It may be over a week until I'm up and running again, and a few weeks after that until I get a replacement 1TB. I'm so sorry this happened guys!

Thanks. If you could link me to the best tools I could use to check the harddrive once it's slaved that would be really helpful. You never know, it could be salvageable and useable.
 
Back up and running for the most part. I haven't recovered my data yet but I have my new drive in and windows 10 installed. I'm stuck to 3 games until I can get a bigger drive but I'll be on BF4.
 
"recover exremely, EXTREMELY, important data." he means porn everyone. :p But yeah that sucks, guess ill have to come back to BF4 to eat some more rockets...
