Hi guys!

 

My HDD doesn't spin and makes no noise. I've tried it with different power cables and different Sata cables.. It doesn't even show up in the BIOS, please help!

 

 

Thanks!

Dead.

I'll just have to burn myself because it has over 700GB of storage filled up and i only have a SSD of 64 GB what i also have in my system, I'm making a website right now and when that is finished and i get payed the first thing i'll buy is a new HDD!

Might as well double check. Click this: http://www.hdsentinel.com/ and download their software. It will check your drive's health and performance.

Thanks mate for the link, i downloaded it and it says my HDD is 100% PERFECT! :D

Nice to see it does work, but you can't know if it's really ok. I'd recommend backing-up your data from the HDD. 

You might not need that, but yeah... you can't be sure.

Yup like various other posts above mine, you should really figure out a way to back up the important stuff. You'll never know when the HDD will decide to plan its own funeral.
