Hey guys, so last night I tried to do the whole "hot swapping" thing with my XBox because I wanted to do something with my XBox hard drive. It consists of unplugging the XBox hard drive while it's on and putting it into a computer.... that's also on. Anyway, I did that a couple times, and then the last time I did it, Windows froze and I had to do a cold restart. Well since then my computer hasn't been starting correctly. It would get power, and things would power up but the BIOS wouldn't initialize and there would be no signal to the monitor. So what I did was I took the battery out and waited a while before I put it back in to erase the CMOS and make everything default, and that worked, things started booting up but it did say "CMOS checksum error - defaults loaded" but it didn't detect anything in my IDE Channels (my CDRW Drive, and DVD Drive), but it did detect my SATA ports and my RAID config, but when it gets to the DMI Pool Data part, it freezes and doesn't start Windows.
So now when I try and take the battery back out and clear the CMOS, it doesnt want to start up anymore.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks
