My guess is your laptop is out of warrenty too, right? But first, lets make sure your laptop is truely dead. When you enter the bios, scroll through the pages and one should give you information about hard drives. Does it have any information about a drive in there or is it not detected? If it is not detected then it is likely your drive is dead, but if it says there is a drive in there, then you may be lright. If this is the case, let us know what operating system you are using (xp, 2000, 98) and we will try to help further. Best of luck :) 0 Discussion Starter SxyGeordieBabe 10 Years Ago It is very possible that your hard drive croaked. My guess is your laptop is out of warrenty too, right?
