Hello welcome to Evilzone!

This usually means that one of your Hard drives are loose.

First, I would do a quick Google search on le interwebs.

Anyway, check your bios settings(Google is your friend) , (Don't have a computer available right now.) it could just be messed up.

But as always, check on Google first ;).

1) connect the drive to the computer and use recovery utilities
2) MBR is most likely b0rked so you will need to fix it. Assuming you run windows: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/bootcons_fixmbr.mspx?mfr=true

Next time don't forget about google.

I wouldnt be helping a total stranger like you but since WD started, ill do.

For the error msg, Go to your BIOS settings and just hit default, that should do it.

And for recovering files, use data recovery softwairs. Use Google  to fined them.(im not going to in google for you and provide links for you to click)

Now go and introduce yourself so we can welcome you.

edit: shit, kulver you cross porter.
