You stated an Acer what model is it? Does the computer/laptop detect the drive in the bios? With that information we can try to figure out whether the drive is bad or not. If the computer doesn't know its there neither will windows -------------------- ~Chad~ Biostar P4M900-M4, Celeron 2.7GHZ OCD 2.95, 2GB patriot DDR2 667 CL3, 60,20 GB IDE HDD, Windows XP Professional SP2, SAS, MBAM, MCAFEE STINGER, Zonealarm, Linksys Router, and Palm TX HandHeld.

The drive is likely damaged since the bio's recognises it and it won't read anything. You could try a system restore but you will loose all of your data. There may be others with more suggestions. -------------------- ~Chad~ Biostar P4M900-M4, Celeron 2.7GHZ OCD 2.95, 2GB patriot DDR2 667 CL3, 60,20 GB IDE HDD, Windows XP Professional SP2, SAS, MBAM, MCAFEE STINGER, Zonealarm, Linksys Router, and Palm TX HandHeld.
