Ok, here's what happened.

 

I got Iatkos v7 to work PERFECTLY. My two GeForce 9800GT cards are identified and support everything, sound and network are working as well. Since I installed NTFS-3G, I had access to my other HDD with contained 2 NTFS partitions.

 

I started a file transfer from one of my ntfs partitions and went in the living room.

 

When I came back, my NTFS drive had disappeared. A lot of the files were transfered, but I could see the drive anywhere. I accessed Disk Utility, and the drive was missing.

 

After rebooting, my computer stopped at the Bios. I suspected my HDD had died, so I removed it and the computer booted normally and OSX was still working.

 

I plugged my HDD inside an external case and connected it via USB, and I can access it without problem.

 

What the hell happened ? Did this happen to anyone else ?

 

Can I plug it back inside the computer now ?

 

More important : If I buy a new HDD and install it, will this happen again ?

 

Thanks
