that was the first thing i did, thanks anyways. Looks like I lost my data, I've ordered another hdd as well as some more RAM, whenever something breaks I like to upgrade a bit lol. I've also ordered an external usb HDD case and a HDD for backups. I'll be using that in my desktop PC further on down the track, as in, I'll be using the HDD inside the machine.

I'm not sure if it's fixable at all.

Hard drives can be fixed (well, depending on the severity of their "death"), but unless you really need the data on the drive, it probably isn't worth the hassle. Most people don't have the electronics skills or the specialized parts and tools needed to perform the repairs.

i bought a 30 gig hard drive on ebay for 60 $ my old one was 10 gig i figured it would cost at least 50 bux to fix my quiestin is how hard is it to start from a blank hdd ? i just install windows or what
Windows will let you partition and format a blank drive as part of the installation process, nothing to worry about there.
As far as the 10G drive goes, you probably won't get a heck of a lot for it, but what'll hurt if you try, right?
