Stupid computers!
I was playing Star Wars Battlefront II when all of a sudden my computer lets out a loud, high pitched tone and then crashes to a blue screen. I kill the power and try to reboot. All it does is beep very loudly (enough to chase the dogs out of the room) and tell me that it cant boot. I have an LSI Megaraid controller with 2 Western Digital 200gb drives configured as RAID 0. So if I lose this logical drive I'm gonna be pissed off because I know there was stuff on there that i hadn't backed up yet.
I managed to get into the BIOS for the raid controller and reset the configuration data. Now it tells me the hard drives are fine, but it still wont boot. My only option now is to call LSI tech support first thing in the morning and pray that they can help me fix it. If they cant, this is going to be really really bad.
This is the part where I vow to back everything up if I am lucky enough to get my drive working again. Yes I know RAID 0 isn't redundant, and yes I know I shouldn't have important information on it. Now it looks like I'm going to pay the price.
Everyone go back up your data NOW!
