Issues with sound caused me to Boot a Live CD of Ubuntu to see if sound issues were hardware or software. Due to the HDD not being seen in Ubuntu's Live CD but previously able to be seen via Windows XP,tried the hardware BIOS switch to compatabilty from AHCI ( as windows will and should not run into issues with it untill the OS attempts to load, then at least BSOD if anything, AHCI->Compatability it will load from Compatability->AHCI WinXP will BSOD) i ran a HDD test via BIOS ( only detects read errors ), the test came up no issues, but now i get the OS error of No OS Found. I know there was one previously as it was booted into fine before the Live CD boot.
When in Windows there was a Key Icon on the HDD Primary Partition, BIOS says the TPM Security is Inactive ( Enabled but not in use ). Which made me think if there was any type of encription it was software based. or it switched when the ACHI->Compatability was changed
Any idea if this was the inactive TPM module, and if so is there any way to get the drive seen again, the drive was not removed from the computer. The only HDD errors are "Relocated" and "Reallocated" sectors according to?S.M.A.R.T status ( less then 10 )
