Windows can't be accessed

[Relenthe]

So as some of you may know, I play DDO on my 15 inch macbook pro bootcamped with windows 7.

Well today when playing DDO I was minding my own business when I was hit by a massive lag spike. (Although it was different than the normal spike as there was no delay in my actions, I was just moving very slowly)

After this my computer crashed, nothing new has happened a few times before.

Except this time when I started up windows with the options to either
A). repair windows to the last time it functioned normally, it wasn't able to
B). Launch windows normally, then it would just be a blank screen for 5-30 minutes, followed by the classic windows loading bar for another 5-30 minutes, before i would give up and go to my mac side.

Launching windows through parallels came up with the message
Unable to access Hard Disk 3. An error occurred when accessing the hard disk. Error ID: Input/output error.

This used to be Hard Disk 1 it was unable to access, but I changed the Hard disk access from IDE 0:0 to IDE 1:0. This was was supposed to help but didn't.

I also already put in the boot flag
devices.sfilter.enable=0
This was also supposed to help but did not.

The only other option I could find from browsing other peoples similar problems was to completely reinstall windows, which I do not want to do. (Was a lot of work originally to set it up and get all the drivers working properly, but if it comes to it I have to).

So if any1 has any other advice to get me back in the game, I would appreciate it.

Er... on a pc I'd recommend going to safe mode, and seeing if you could fix anything there.

If that didn't work, I'd recommend a repair install. That would likely wipe out those drivers and settings you're concerned about, but at least leave your data there. I think you'd still have installed programs as well, can't remember exactly.

I've no idea how good that advice is for a mac running windows though.

How would I access the repair install? I did try using the repair option that you see when you start up windows after a crash, but after 20 minutes of the blur bar going by saying repairing it finally said it was unable to be repaired

NO WAY!? The exact same thing happened to me! I have been trying to fix my computer for the last two days. Things have been getting progressively worse too. It has escalated to the point that I can not even reinstall windows due to the fact that both of my two hard drives are no longer even being recognized by the BIOS. I really don't know what to do. Could DDO truly be the cause of all this?

So Relenthe and I are the only individuals who have experienced this issue?

Your BIOS not seeing hard disks has nothing to do with DDO. Make sure your hardware is 100% before looking at the operating system; make sure your OS is 100% before looking at applications.
