My folks PC seems to have given up the ghost and upon starting it takes ages to go through the POST but then I get a message about not properly finding a boot drive or something.
I guessed HDD problems so I stuck it in an enclosure and loaded to my windows box. The drive only appears up in disk management but the status is not initialised. Is this likely to be a drive knackered or should I be able to fix it my looking towards MBR issues? I put the drive into my own PC and it doesn't appear to even show in BIOS.
Any suggestions? Lovely way to spend easter weekend.
