Help: PC does not see hard drive
I fear the worse with this. My PC has will not boot up. First it did not see the hard drive, the following day it saw it and ran scandisk. Surface scan then started running and it found 4 bad clusters (fixed) in the first 26% then just hung. Now it will not see the hard drive at all. Am I right in thinking I need a new one? If I do will a straight swop of a similar hard drive be allright or could there be a more underlying problem. Thank you. -- remove noreply

Thanks for the replies.
I was right with my thoughts, the hard drive is to blame. Put a new one in and it works now. Just got to load all the software again. Thanks for the help. "steve" wrote in message ...
