| Ok. I got somewhere. I was able to boot into my Windows CD (I removed the SATA at boot, and connected it while the disk was "detecting hardware settings") and it would boot into the cd AND have acess to my hard drive. I entered the recovery consol and performed a chkdsk /R which seemed to fix the problem and create a new one. Now whenever I wanted to acess the drive with recovery consol or even with Windows format I would get redirected to a Registry Error BSOD. I searched around a bit on the net and didn't find an exact solution to the problem. So I decided to whipe the drive clean and format. I found KillDisk and used it to Zero my drive, after which I can now boot from the CD (without having to do any fancy SATA removal) and format. |

| Yeah but I couldn't even format. Well, at least not with the Windows Disc, as it would always go into BSOD when I wanted to acess the partition with windows format tool. |

| low level format is through tools provided by the manufacturer of the hard drive
