Hi All,
Looking for some suggestions after my Windows system hard disk (fortunately not the My Documents Disk!) gave up the ghost.
Switched the machine on, selected Windows from the grub list, the XP loading screen comes up followed by a nasty click, spin down noise and a reset. Neither Linux nor even the motherboard are now acknowledging the existence of the disk.
I'm guessing the answers aren't going to be positive, but:
1) Any magic voodoo you can think of to bring it back from the dead, even for a while?
2) Know any cheap data recovery experts (I have backups but i'd rather a replacement hard disk that slots in where the current one is!).
Cheers
