Oh, ok.

The HDD has always shown up though, it was the DVD drive that stopped showing at times. The HDD has always shown though, until trying to see it in this programme (Ubuntu)

Is there anything else you think could try?

If not, then no worries. Thanks a lot for your help and time.

That other cd you got first should have a HDD tester on it. Try running it and see what it says.

If nothing important is on the drive try doing a windows reinstall and see if windows can even work with the drive.

If not then you will know for sure the drive has to be replaced :wink:

Tried running it, it says "Drive not ready".

Well, I'm out of ideas, and it's 1.23am here in England, so I'm going to give it a rest I think. If you think of anything to try I'll be signing on here tomorrow to check anyway. And probably in about 20mins before I go to bed.... I hate losing! Especially against a laptop!  :shy:

Anyway, I really appreciate all the time and effort you've put in to help me, I'll definitely be back again.

If you don't think of anything, then take care mate.

Locking thread :wink:

And as always...
If your happy with my work. Then all I ask in return is you simply let others know about my site and programs. I help with anything computer or network related :-)
Also always feel free to make a post in the feedback forum.
And a facebook like at the top of the page of my site is nice as well. ;)
