I thought hard disks usually showed signs before failing, however, mine (250 GB Seagate) was 99 percent perfect before it failed.
Had 2 disks.
Seagate 250gb with all my files and
Seagate 1TB fairly new with hardly anything BUT HAD THE OS.
One day I come home to see my mom using the pc. when she left I opened MY Comp to find that the old disk's partitions were missing.
I restarted but the pc never booted up as long as that disk is connected (it spins though).
It just doesnt allow the pc to boot up when its connected.
