vcant Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 got home, my laptop was off, turned it on, no HD !!!!!!!!!!please someone tell me there is something else i can do besides throwing it away and buying a new one
Crispy Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 Well, if its posible you could try and test the disc on another computer... (Could be that that the something in Laptop is dead, and not the drive). But what are the chances of that working?So like you said, you are pretty screwed
vcant Posted June 16, 2003 Author Posted June 16, 2003 well, i do have another laptop, and i took its HD and put in my laptop, it worked :cry: :cry: o, please tell me this is not the end , o please, o please....PSi just realized that the 'smilies' are moving, they were not moving on the other leptop WTF ??editf*** HD, couldnt wait another month, i was about to sell the leptop !!!
rstryker Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 what brand hard drive is it?you can probably go to their site and get a diagnostic program.couldnt hurt to try.

XPerties Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 sorry vcant, I wasn't suggesting I know how to fix it, I would just buy a new hard drive if you sent it to me. Anyways......Have you closly checked the IDE cables and power cables to make sure there isn't a short or wire frey?
