well, this might sound kind of stupid.
i was trying to make a circuit with a resistor and a led diode, attaching a wire to the 5V plug that feeds hard drives and cdroms. and at first the diode lighted up, but then the plug sent out a big spark and the computer stopped working. so i had to switched it on again. at first i all seemed to work flawlessly but then i realized that my hard drive now it's only capable of reading data, but it can't write data.
in fact i tried to format the hard drive and it just began like it was formatting it but when it finished doing it, anything changed.
anyone can help me pleeease???
the hard drive was 3 days old!!!
 
it sounds like your hd is dead. you can probably rma it though, find out through your vendor.
