I have gotten this error when I corrupt all the data on my Hard Drive by knocking the IDE cable loose, or another time when I got a virus on the C: which made it un-readable.

Had you been working on the computer, and bumped the cable loose?

You won't hurt your HD, just make sure that the cables are plugged in all the way.

Oh alright, thanks so much for the reply, i did mess around with the cable to improve airflow in my case, i must have bumped it. Thanks again. any other replies would be appreciated.
