Windows experts...
Had an issue with a field computer running a side-scan sonar survey yesterday; computer froze and then shut down. Restarts gave a
primary hard drive error upon start up.
If I 'F1" to continue and either get a reboot error OR if I put the Boot CD in the drive, I get to windows set-up.
Went into BIOS, and the hard drive is recognized, but the size is listed as '0', which concerns me...
put in the boot CD and tried to do a repair, but both the check disk (ChkDsk) and Fixboot commands give me a drive not recognized.
I figure my next step is to reinstall Windows?
I have the projects backed up and all of the.data files, so we won't be losing any previous surveys, but we had a 1/2 day yesterday of hard fought survey lines in very shallow, bouldery waters I'd prefer not to scrub.
any thoughts?
