[QUOTE="Kevriano, post: 840811, member: 18605"] If command and s didn't find the HD then it must be fried, sadly. Bad if it's only 2 years old. No way of erasing it if you can't find it I'm afraid, but if it's dead no one will be able to access it anyway (not without some fancy tech anyway). Just google "replacement HD Macbook" for some answers there. Plenty of them, may as well upgrade it if cost isn't too bad. Yes, you just install to the new HD, no backing up needed, which you couldn't do anyway. Just one thing, when you boot holding down command and s, you need to keep them held down until a screen of text appears. Just in case you didn't, because I'm really surprised that it's dead already.
