My primary 40gig hdd crashed and it was declared unusable by me as soon as I got a couple of Data Read/Write errors.(also accompanying these two was the CRC Error for the hdd). I still wanted to try to make it re-usable instead of throwing it ... Hoping to make something happen I installed Win2000 SP4 and a Vmware image. As soon as I started working ... I again get these bsod(errors as mentioned above). I finally format it again fully and I won't throw it ... but I will have it as a souvenir/my memoir or whatever I feel like calling it ... Iam planning to buy a 10-20gig hdd to get back the setup for working on vulns/malware.

Pray for my new hdd's health...

Regards
