-   is there a smart option in the setup? I have a similar problem..hardrive crashed..Screen shows..drive failer imminent.press F1 to continue..F1 leads to the screen which shows windows startup options (i.e. safe mode, safe mode with netwrk and normal) but selecting any option does nothing..and the computer shuts down..
Any help will be appreciated!!
ps. I tried running the OS cd for the recovery option..but I am not sure how to continue with that..bunch of commands..but nothing that seems to help with recovering any data?

-   I had the same problem and can add that in my case, the hard drive was fine, the laptop lost the ability to recognize any hard drive. All of my information was still there.
Does anyone have advise on what component(s) can be changed on the motherboard to resolve access to the harddrive?

for a temp fix enter setup ,disable s.m.a.r.t function then reboot , should be fine for awhile at least long enough to back up all you need ,till u replace the drive, or run it til it dies.could be a day or years.
