    We weren't about to laugh at anything...we advise on all sorts of equipment here daily.
    But we are going to need alot more info such as Model # OS, what happened prior to this etc.....

              it may be just that the drive has gone bad...!!!

              Get a pencil, and a piece of paper, write the error down, and post it back.
              EXACT error, that is.

              As patio said, we're not there.
