Bro, I also just collected my RMA'ed HDD yesterday at C-zone. And my spoilt HDD was exactly the same as yours.Firstly the computer had some kind of loading applications. And then I shut down. Then next I turned on the PC, BIOS can't detect the HDD already doh.gif

]ic.guess have to start praying now  sweat.gif sweat.gif  .based on all the post here,most users cant detect their hdd after they turn on the comp since the last time shutting it down.so if the comp stay on for 24 hrs will it be safer?

In my case, well, it was a bit complicated. The computer was responding slowly before I turned off my PC.
