I need some PC info. My Hell computer just took a dump. Cruising the internet this morning and seeing the blue screen of death tonight, now it won't talk to my hardrive, won't recognize the hard drive or the CD drive and only sees the floppy drive. I keep getting a ICE error? Anybody have any experience in this area? We can keep it of the forum if necessary. What brands of motherboard are decent, and what about hard drives. It had a Maxtor 40GB ATA7200 harddrive and what ever mother board dell put in it to handle a 1.7Gig Pentium four chip.

thanks for any help anyone can offer

either your harddrive is dead or the IDE controller died.
try harddrive first (get a new one). the controller is onboard and can't be replaced.

i hope you had backup copies of your important stuff.
that's why all my puters have at least 2 HDs. the chances of both blowing smoke at the same time are slim.
