Explorer froze, I initiated a reset and it didn't show up in the bios anymore. Since it was also the drive I had my OS installed on, it took a while to get the whole thing functional again.

Sucks pretty much if it's indeed dead, since both of the drives I'm using have only 40 gigs, and there's only 12 gigs free now on the one that still works.
That Knoppix is a live CD Linux and it will run off the CD with no need for your hard drive. But if it did what you said it might have messed up badly. Could you put the hard drive in slave mode and see if you can see any files? What am I talking about you folks are more Savvy about this stuff tham I am
