Glad I didn't jump in
Just detected and booted the HDD fine when using the other IDE cable, seems like its that.
Funny how it just 'went' all of a sudden though

Nothing had been tampered with inside the case, it just messed up after the BSOD had happened. This normal? confused:
What about the virus on the BS? Worthwhile doing a LLF anyway, or just risk it and leave it ?
