Hi guys.
I have Vista Home Premium installed on my Dell Inspiron Laptop. Vista began running slowly, BSOD'd, rebooted automatically & since then does not seem to be able to detect my Intel hard drive upon start-up. The drive does not show as present in the set-up menu & diagnostics freeze when searching for it.
Unfortunately, I am at work at the moment & do not have the offending computer with me, so I can't be 100% sure of exact model numbers & versions. I do not have a boot CD, as Vista was pre-installed on my laptop.
Very concerned, as I have a lot of un-backed-up data & a large portion of my income comes from eBay business, which I am currently unable to maintain.
