Well I think my drive died on me...can't access it and it isn't recognized in bios...so I am pretty sure it is...but before I decide to RMA it back is there anything I can try to do to make sure ? this would be my first drive to bite the dust so I don't know of any tricks and such

I tried to access it when the computer is booting up too before windows loads and I still can't get at it


Thanks

Nope I can't see it in the bios that is why I am afraid it has come to be no more...FVCk :) just thought there might be another way to check to see what is wrong of what ever

Well I guess god was looking down on little leeland today....I pulled the computer panel off and low and behold the power adapter was out of the drive...I have absolutely no Idea how that could have happened...but I plugged it back in and it works great

that was going to be my suggestion if it didn't show up in the bios. Check the connectors. Glad to see you are up and working.
