[QUOTE="RDJ, post: 10158740, member: 5905"] yes it is likely that your hard drive has crapped out. get his recovery disks and see if it can fix it. get all your data off the drive that you care about and go buy a new hard drive, and reload. if the disk can't be recovered by the HP recovery disk (doubtful) then do a search for "ERD Commander" and get the ISO and make a disk, or find someonw that has one. plug a USB hard drive or thumbdrive into the lap top and boot to the ERD CD. you can sometimes save data using this method when you can't get to your hard drive. if you don't have anything on the drive that matters, go buy a new one and reload the OS and press on. edited to add: yes you should be able to use your buddy's recovery disk in your laptop since they are the exact same model. As far as specific brand of Laptop hard drive, I am a big fan of the Western Digitals. In reality they all make good and bad drives so get the one with the longest warranty, Seagate, Western Digital, Fujitsu all make good quality hard drives for laptops. [/QUOTE]
