thats what i get this morning trying to turn on my htpc. this is right after i just got everything working as should, my gta4 game was further then ever, and i was going to clone this os drive to a larger one within the next few days!
i guess this isnt even a thread asking for help. i need prayers. dvblink was just activated on this machine for the 2nd time too, and from what i can tell theyre not going to let me activate again (this is a major downfall to dvblink).
pc is being left on for awhile. the bearings in the harddrive will heat up and make the clicking servo work? right? eek.
edit- its alive! windows 7 startup repair from the disc worked. time to fire up clonezilla, and fast. 2nd edit- after the next day, the drive did the same thing. this time, i put the drive on top of a heat pad, chip side down. after a coulple minutes, the drive spun up and worked again. its cloned now, and i also just found out the drive still has 4 months left of the 3 year warranty. WD has no problem rma'ing it, so this all turned out well. never though heating the drive up might actually make them work...
