nope exact same thing happens, last driver it trs to loads if d347bus, then it just stops does nothing for a while and resets.

Doesnt appear to be any SMART errors.

Ive gone into Repare and tried to do a dir on C: and get the following

"an occured during directory enumeration" never got that befor, but it might be something todo with DOS and NTFS or something.

I have a spare hdd so i might stick that in and see if I can recover my data. This is a right pain in the ass :( havent got time to fk around installing XP so it might have to wait,

Have you tried:"chkdsk /p" followed by "fixboot"

well, i seem to have got it to boot up now.

im going to back everything up and probably reformat asap.

I did a bootfix and fixmbr. which had no effect.

I then did a chkdsk (would have done it first had i noticed the commands)

after that I could do a dir on the c: and it would display everything. So i rebotted and it worked.

wish i knew what went wrong though. :S
