one of my computers died on me; it's a primary 200 gig divided into 2 partitions; i tried to repair with ERD but doesnt seem to work; if i chkdsk it on another working computer, where should i hook it up to or does it matter? it has an ultra ata pci card on it

also, what other tests can i do before i know that it's completely dead?

thanks very much

Download the disk diagnostics from the manufacturer's web site and run them in the current PC. It may only be the controller. If it is the hard drive you will know right away if the diags cannot access the disk.
