Two days ago, I turned on my iBook and I got the flashy question mark folder thing. So I booted from the iBook software restore disk and ran disk utility. I ran the "extended test", and got an error message when it got to the "mass storage" section of the test. I called Apple and the tech-support guy told me my HD was fried. So I installed OS X onto my iPod and booted from that. Everything's working fine. But the iBook's internal HD is nowhere to be found. It won't mount on the desktop, it won't show up in disk utility, it's not in the start-up disk list, and it doesn't show up in system profiler. I'm no expert, but I don't think this is a good thing. Can someone please help me to get my hard drive working? I don't even care about the drive itself, it's the dada on the drive I'm worried about. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.
