Hey,
I bought this laptop from Amazon at the start of summer, so it's new (Acer VN7-791G if it matters). I also bought SSD and put it in laptop and reinstalled windows 8.1 on SSD. At first, everything was working great, but with time, HDD started to become more and more retarded. There were times when it would just make continous "click" noise (for a couple of seconds), in which time I could not access to data on it. I was ok with this minor issue though (didnt want to send it back to Amazon because I believe I allready broke waranty by adding SSD).
With time, it became more and more retarded. Last few days it would take a couple of seconds to access files on it.
Today, it just dissappeared. There is no D: drive anymore (I had C: for SSD and D: for HDD drive, no partitions.) In "disk management" it doesnt show up, even after using "rescan disks". In "device manager" under "disk drives" I only see driver for SSD.
Maybe I allready answered myself in tread's title, but did my HDD die? Is there anything I can do to completely check if it's true? I'm thinking of going to BIOS and checking there, but other than that, I don't know what to do.
Hopefully I provided enough info. If not, feel free to ask.
Cheers,
ValeV
