Hi folks
The GFs netbook went funny a few days ago. She was on skype at the time to me and it BSOD'd, she rebooted and it came up with No Boot Disk error message and was beeping.
I collected the unit today, Acer One Aspire with a Seagate 5400.5 160gb SATA 2.5" drive in it. After 21 removed screws I pulled the drive and hooked it to my own PC and tried to fire it up but no dice.
It doesnt even attempt to spin up, as soon as power is connected it just beeps:
http://www.strathycruise.com/seagate.m4a (recorded with iphone pressed against it on power up)
Ive never had this type of failure before, its usually a clicking drive so Im at a loss as to what to do here.
Does anyone have any advice on getting the thing up and running so I can recover her photos and other stuff?
What does it sound like has happened, controller failure? Spindle failure? Stiction ?
Thanks for any ideas.
