well i was working on a session on my cpu on saturday when i touched the side of the case with my foot and i got a fukd up sound and then it shut off, now the only way it boots is in safe mode. damn it! i went and bought a new computer but its vista and nothing i have is compatable, plus i dont have my cool edit disk to reload it can anyone help me out with this?

Nope. Sounds like you're screwed.

Have you tried a system restore ? You might be able to get it to at least function in standard mode.

system restore never worked right on my computer it never displayed the calender to select a restore date even when i would set one up so i lost my interest in that. the hard drive is a maxtor and i bought it in 02 so im sure its on its last leg. ive bought a inclosure and im going to take my important files off of it and drive over it with my van! thanks guys, but noone has a copy of cool edit? can i use the exe3 file on my old drive to install it on my new pc?

ive been using cool edit for awhile and i guess im just stuck on it, Im actually looking into a new interface and running pro tools so this is my new venture i guess!

If your computer still boots in safe mode then there is nothing wrong with your hard drive. What sort of error are you getting when you attempt a normal boot?

sounds like you could have set off a static charge or one of your cards could be out of place --------acoustic

this is what im thinking also since this piercing sound came out of my monitors scarred the shit out of me

also fortyseven, it will boot in safe mode but if i boot it regular i just get a blue screen of death when windows is about to load, im sure its just a driver conflict or something of that nature but i dont have the internet at home so i cant get the proper updates. regardless i bought a new compaq so im going to use this and maybe figure something out with the old drive. thanks again guys
