Hi all,

My wife's (User:Panyd, who wears the tricorn hat) laptop's hard drive has failed - it isn't recognised by the laptop when it boots up. We've run system restore, etc, and tried to ham-fistedly get it working, but nothing has been successful!

Does anyone have a spare CD which we could boot up the laptop from, or any suggestions as to what we could do next? Everything else on the laptop is in working order.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give us!

All the best,

Richard Symonds
