Has my Raptor just died?

[elite]

Hey all, think my 74GB rap just died...I had just finished a good two hour game on BF2 and then was just sat on desktop talking on teamspeak then i hear this beeping every 2 seconds I thought it was a cable hitting a fan but i then taken my headphones off and got down to my case windows and thn thought it was my cd drive, so i taken the case window off and heared my raptor beeping by this time i go back onto my pc and nothing worked...so i reboot and it says insert a windows boot up cd...wahhhhhhh

can harddrives even beep? bcoz its not coming from the mobo. It shows up in bios and like i said onces its posted it acts like there isnt a boot up drive there.

A mate gave me this link...what do you guys think.

ah thanks for the info mate, the raptor is only my bootup drive with my games and apps on, my 300gb is still alive and kicking

Can i still rma it if its over a year old because im not sure how old it is, it was from ocuk and i still got the paper work somewhere.

thanks


edit: I dont have a floppy drive
