Hello experts here! I got a odd problem here, and really need your kindly help...

Recently I have discovered that my computer went down, I supposed my primary master hard drive may died, because I can't hear it spin when I turn on the computer...

so I took the 2 of my hard drives to where I work, and asked our IT guy to run some test on my hard drives, he told me that my slave hard drive is fine, but my primary hard drive is broken, as I guessed, however, he told me that my primary hard drive just killed a hard drive on the computer which he ran the test on....

could that really happen? What might be the problem of my primary hard drive? I'm still trying to recover my files on it, so...I'd really want to know what might be the cause...does any one know what might be happening?

Thanks very much!!
