ChadTower:

Mobo = motherboard.

You have not yet said whether or not the home motherboard is actually damaged.

shardian:
Oh duh... ;D

The home mobo is fine. It is up and running right now with the 5gb HD as the brains right now. I haven't restarted it since I put in the bad HD though, so after I finish offloading the backups, we'll see if it was definitely just a stroke of odd timed bad luck.

ChadTower:
That is really, really, tremendously weird.  I just can't buy that your home HD died at the exact time you put in a damaged HD by coincendence.

When you put the work HD into your home system were they on the same IDE cable?

Did you move the home HD at all while the platter was spinning?

No. The work HD was installed on the secondary IDE, as a precaution in the 1st place. They did not even interact, and it was formatted with only the XP install files on it. This is by far the weirdest pc problem I've ever messed with.

MadGamer:
I always use fdisk when formatting before installing any windows software no viruses can survive. Then theres no doubt.
