I just put the just today kaput C drive in this machine as a slave to see what I could salvage and the answer is pretty much everything. So easily was I able to do so, I decided to run a disk check on it. The results were no file system errors and not one bad sector. So what the hell happened?

Save all the important stuff on it, just incase. Here's hoping you have no more probs.

Maybe the boot file somehow got dinged, or there's a boot sector virus. This may leave the actual physical sectors of the disk intact, but eat system files necessary for bootup.

Then again, like katharinakatt said, it could be a Windows problem on that disk. I plan to get a spare external disk and just back everything up periodically, since the larger disks and faster computers seem a bit less reliable than the old clunkers were.

When in doubt

Assign the problem to "Operator Error"
