You are thinking of COD 2

Most modern disks would log a "predictive failure" disk error. This would be cause for concern. The disk errors I think can be discounted. More likely to be hardware related but something other than the disk(s).

Update, found the problem, it wasn't the cable that was faulty, its the secondary ide channel, its not faulty any more, its completely knackered

I'm in the process of getting parts to do a rebuild, hopefully all will be ok, I'll post back in a couple of days to let you know how it went.

Thanks for all the help.

If it's only the ide channel that's gone west, an ide controller card would be all he needs ?
