My M2000 can't find my hard drive and i can't do a windows recovery cause windows cant detect a HD? Any help? Machine rebooted itself as its been having on and off problems? Is there any hope to saving my hard drive? Now when i pop my Windows XP disc and ask the machine to boot from CD to repair windows; i get a message there is no Local hard diskettes installed???
You are up that famous creek without a paddle , time for a new HD

- Sometimes it is the boot sector that has gone really sick and the drive can still be accessed as a slave
Have a look on the web for extension hard drives that work on the usb port
No doubt they will be a standard ide type in a box with the required usb connection coming out of the front
It may be possible to remove the drive from the USB kit install it in your laptop then put the dead drive into the usb box to see if the now live laptop will see it as a slave
There are data recovery firms but they will cost you an arm and a leg , good luck

Your drive is probably OK but for some reason, it is not mounting.
Do you have a bootable floppy disk or CD that has FDisk on it?
You can give that a try.
good luck - I hope you get your stuff back up. Here is an assignment for you - wright this on a piece of paper ... "I promise that I will always do a back up of my important stuff every week in the future" and post it on your monitor.
