[QUOTE="BSD Meister, post: 1450277, member: 257388"] We use a product for system and drive testing called Scannerz. Yesterday we got an e-mail from the company announcing the release of a hard drive testing book that's free. You can get it at this site (no cost): [url=http://www.scsc-online.com]Software and Computer Systems Company, LLC[/url] Go to the downloads section, then download the book "Hard Drive Troubleshooting" (catchy name, eh?). In any case it has a section on catastrophic failure. The book has everything from simple tests to system evaluation by component disassembly, but a lot of the stuff in it doesn't require any tools or software. It provides some step by step instructions that you can try, but seriously, it does sound like your drive died on you. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
