If you decide to switch drives (and I would recommend that for the time being, at least), make sure you remove or at least unhook the old drive first. Otherwise, Windows is going to nag you no end about which one to boot from, not to mention a host of other problems...
I don't think the keyboard caused it. I've had the filesystem on one of my drives completely implode while running a 3D graphics app, making it look like it was to blame when in fact it wasn't even possible.
Be careful if you try to fix the filesystem because chkdsk has a tendency to make things completely disappear. It's amazing. DOS and Windows have been around for so long and yet Microsoft still has no concept of data recovery.
If you want to save your old drives data, you can try running Norton Ghost on it and under options enable "Force Cloning" so that it doesn't stop when it finds disk errors.
I've saved a few long hours of trouble with crashed drives that way.

do you guys suggest I still use the wireless keyboard after that **** happening? or ditch it?
