Well first part, my 160gb drive has just started clicking. I can access assorted directories in dos, but windows won't load with the drive attached.
This drive is on a promise card, and I'm using win98, I've never had any issues accessing the entire drive when in windows, but not sure how well it'll work in dos mode. Especially since the only drive with free space is also on a controller card.
What options do I have? Obviously if I could actually get into windows things would be much easier. Freezer trick perhaps?
edited for clarification: this is NOT my system drive, but windows will not load with the drive attached, it'll just click away, it ALMOST loaded once, but it hardlocked at the network logon.
