    Sounds like a hard drive failure.

    Try reformatting, if its still ****ing up, its gone. You can also try putting the external into an enclosure and trying it out via USB

    second hard drive failure this week, makes me want to do a backup. [​IMG]

    what you should do, find all the original documents and anything pertaining to the laptop/laptop warranty. (hope you kept your bill, etc.)

    it will usually tell you what type of problems are covered, but I would think that hard drive failure should be covered, since it won't be that much money for a company to send you a new hard drive. but, you never know..

    I'm pretty sure its covered under warranty. Its not accidental damage so it should be good to go.

    Also, replacing your hard drive yourself DOES NOT void your warranty.

    if it's dead, you'd probably have to change the platter inside to get it to work again.

    honestly, there's way too much work to justify fixing it when you can buy another one for cheap.
