A laptop I have had for a good 3 years is starting to give me a message that theres no hard drive, Ive tried taking it out, and placing it back it still, no good. Did the hard drive fail?
Thanks |

Laptops tend to be very tough on hard drives, especially if they are left in hot cars very long. Fortunately the price for laptop drives has come down quiet a bit so replacing one isn't such a big deal. Do you have important data on the drive? If it is bad hopefully the data can be retrieved.
