[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 371892, member: 24098"] I highly doubt Disk Warrior will do anything for you considering that the drive doesn't appear to be seen on the bus itself (very typical of some of the laptop hard drive failures I've seen in my work - particularly when there's no evidence of a mechanical failure). I would say your only option would be to go back to Apple. Unfortunately, in my line of work, I see a lot of failed laptop hard drives (more so than desktop drives) and the trend of seeing failed drives in newer machines has only increased lately. I don't blame the system manufacturers themselves as much as I do the hard drive manufacturers. They just don't seem to be churning out the kind of reliability that they have in the past. I remember in years past seeing hard drives that were 7+ years old still chugging along just fine. Now, I'm surprised to see a drive that's more than a year or two old and still running problem free - if nothing else, they usually start to whine loudly after some time. Hitachi, Samsung and Fujitsu seem to have the worst problems in my experience. I've seen only a couple of failed Seagates, and have never seen a failed Western Digital 2.5" HDD. [/QUOTE]
