Installed ok then.....

Hi All
I'd just finished uploading all the music after installing .net framework, codecs and flash and the videobox when an "unhandled exception" happened.  Everything froze for at least 10 minutes, so I turned off at the mains and tried rebooting. It then wouldn't recognise the hard disk.  I thought that maybe the disk had given up the ghost so I tried with another.

Nothing - I now don't even get a post sequence.  I've also tried changing the battery on the motherboard and also leaving it out to clear.
The machine is ASrock Ion 330 with 4Gb Ram and 320 hard disk..  It wasn't recognising the hard disk at one point.

My question is this  ... when I get another computer do I have to get another license as I only bought the software 2 days ago?

Thanks  Mike

I've got a new disk so fingers crossed that'll be it cured

[YorkieF]

Nope that's not cured it, still can't get the bios up

you dont use a disc to get into bios lol 

i know how you feel though i bought a key about 2 months ago and my mobo is acting up
so a new ones due i also bought a key for a expensive asus[£90] and blew it my self after
a couple of months as the saying goes shit happens 

good news your second key is cheaper

I was clutching at straws with buying a new disc.  It's not getting as far as the bios and the usb aren't coming on so I couldn't have pressed F2 to get into the bios either

seems your having a bad expensive day you deserve a freebie dude

Just bought another new disc and I'm busy installing everything again   There was no way I could get the sytem to recognise the ssd so bought amechanical sata2 instead.

so using a itx intel at moment its slower mobo but on the look out on ebay for a
decent system whicm means yet another license
