|A new harddrive, a phillips screwdriver #2, ect-ect.... Even something soft, as the handle of a hammer, screwdriver, ect. To tap the base (((Not anything electrical, the base.))) of the old harddrive, when booting up.... Ah, I didn't say that. And you didn't see it written either ;-)|
Is the harddrive, making any sound(s), at all?? Have you tried switching power conectors, with a CD, DVD drive? Just incase. Sounds, appears like "a severe dard druve crash", to me. Will need a new harddrive. Well, if you get the other going and don't save, transfer, to the new.... that would be...you know what would be written ;-) Will need one anyway, if the other is dead. And if not totally dead, is maybe close. Just thinking outloud, don't mind the rants... or is that rats ;-) ouch! they bite hard!
