Today the hard drive in a laptop (new laptop) decides after POST to just sit there on blank screen no errors, tried booting recovery disk set it to boot from DVD but still no joy.
So I decided to take drive out and connect it to my main PC this showed the drive briefly in my computer but said not accessible but doesn't show under disk management... kinda stumped as Im fairly handy with PCs and just want it to do something or so I can wipe it and reinstall from scratch or Acronis recovery
Any ideas?
