Since your USB HDD seems to have the initial sectors wiped, if it is
plugged in when trying to boot to the CD, the computer may be hung
trying to get a response from the USB and not move on to the CD you
are trying to load your OS from.<br>
<br>
How does your computer behave if the hard drive is not plugged in?<br>
<br>
Computers should boot to your live CD with no hard drive at all.<br>

<div>Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
</div>
I need help again with my computer. I am not sure what
happened, but ever since I used dban to erase one HDD
connected through a usb adapter my desktop doesn't want
to load an OS. It was working fine until dban started
to erase the entire disk. I stopped it before it could
get too far. Now when I try to boot into either of my
disks it doesn't see them.<br>
<br>
</div>
I've already tried to use a live CD to correct the problem
and I have an OS on one of my drive. But the computer
won't load into and says it can't find a bootable disk. I
am sure that one of the disk as an OS on it. When I use a
live USB it won't load. But I use it on my laptop and it
works just fine.<br>
<br>
</div>
Any suggestions?<br clear="all">
