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.
How does your computer behave if the hard drive is not plugged in?
Computers should boot to your live CD with no hard drive at all.

Test disk by get (i think) is very good at finding data on drives that
have had wipes and the like.

Hi everyone,
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.
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.
Any suggestions?
