Hey! Got a serious problem. Restarted my PC and when it was turning it said Third master hard disk error press F1 to continue. Then i press F1 to boot pc.. insert my vista cd (had windows 7 instaleld) and try to boot because i DIDNT know what else to do. So i get to the point where you have to select on which disk you have to install windows. But there are no disks.. Is this a hard disk problem or mainboard or something else? PLEASE HELP!

TNX FOR YOUR HELP!I'm GOING to go out on a limb here and say that when the error says "master hard disk error" the problem is with the hard disk.

You can download & run the hd diagnostic utility from the hd manufacturer's website, but my BEST guess is you'll need to replace the hd.yes but i was told it could be main board but i cant test it. and dont want to buy hard disk if its not the problem.
