[max_y]

I am using a amd duron 800mhz with asus mb. hdd is 40gb seagate . I was working file with my pc till last week . When my friend connected his hdd as slave to my pc hdd crashed and after that i am not able to boot up. When i tried to repartition the hdd fdisk hangs after 20% . When i use Partition magic it is not responding at all. Hdd contains no bad sectors. Seagate disk wizard also not working. wat should be the problem . How can i solve that. If some one could help me i will be thankfull . this is my first posting on this site

Assuming you've removed your friends HDD, I'd run [google]Memtest[/google] to check that your RAM isn't borked.

ram is working fine. The problem is with the hdd itself. When i check the hdd some of the sectors is not able to access.

One thing to check is your data cables...if they aren't plugged in fully or have some bent pins---either on the drive or on the motherboard---that can cause all sorts of hell.
