Just woke up and came to switch on my computer, and when I did, my hard drive started beeping every few seconds. It wasn't an equal time between each beep. The hard drive status light is also constantly on, but slightly dims for a few milliseconds every now and then. The drive is not recognized in the BIOS at all, and I can't run SeaTools as my optical drive doesn't work either (thats not to discuss here, I think it's dying). My hard drive was working perfectly last night, I shut my computer down as normal and went to bed. I've done a bit of reading and found it could be dead, or a power problem. My PSU is horrible, so it might just be that but I'm not sure and I don't particularly want to take the drive out and put it in my brother's computer just yet. I have unreleased music, one remix which I need to get out on the 13th. I triple boot windows 7 with windows 8 and Ubuntu, but rarely use Ubuntu. I was on Windows 7 last night, doing a little video editing, then played a bit of Minecraft I think, while having tweetdeck open in Firefox. I didn't watch it shut down, but I know I clicked shut down properly, as I always do.
