Mayor SSD Crash - Eternity - 12-28-2012
I just got an WD 1 TB USB drive from my mother and I decided to open in up and put it in my main computer since I done it before with my brothers computer.
So I shut down the computer and plugged it in, and when I was booting up I heard this weird noise coming from the the new HDD and I thought "Ops it's screwed ohh well..."
Well that didn't happen exactly you see it wasn't the HDD that crashed it was something about SSD because when I booted up guess what I got...
Fucking "Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter."
And now I'm all like "What the Hell ? How can an HDD do something like that ?"
My first thought was Over-volting of some sort it is also the most logical.
Anyway continuing on...
So I booted up my school computer which didn't have a working HDD in it so I changed it to the original.
After that I found my USB drive and plugged it into my desktop and tried to install windows XP Pro...Which of course didn't work because I got a BSOD before I could select any of the options available.
I started to download windows 7 ultimate on my laptop since I didn't have any storage devices that had the installation files.
Meantime I tried to install Ubuntu linux on one of my USB drives, which did work actually until I was on the desktop and then boom freeze.
After that something magical had happened, my SSD works!
Dunno why but I just tried to boot from it again to check I something other than "Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter." and it did.
Conclusion
Never and I mean never do anything about...Nha do whatever you want.
What is your computer related nightmare ?

So basically, you tried to boot from an empty disk. Nice.
