It sounds like you might have a screwy drive here if you can't hear it spinning up when you start the computer. Then again, your problem may simply be a dire need for a fresh driver or even a driver update. > > 2.

I'd suggest letting TechTool Pro have a look at it. I prefer it over Norton Utilites or Hard Disk Tool Kit, but they might revive it if it can indeed be repaired. This drive may be mechanically afflicted. If this is the case, you're sunk. Once they begin sticking, it's just a matter of time. I hope you've got everything backed up!
