Saju Chacko, are you sure you are not really Eckhard Pfeiffer trying to bring down Dell again before we blow away earnings.

Saju; RE<<...well she called twice... and both times customer service told her that she had to open up the laptop and diagnose the problem herself with customer service on the phone...>> Well, yeah. I mean, this is not asking too much. In fact, I believe you'll find that the troubleshooting trail for disk related problems mentions that the owner should check the connections( power & interface cable ) to ensure they are secure. There are less imposing steps preceding this one --> CHKDSK, FIXDISK, etc., which may solve the problem and prevent data from being lost or corrupted( if this has not already been done ). 95% of the time, the solution to disk problems are quite straightforward and have a simple solution. The other 5% of the time...well, hopefully you've maintained backups of important data. Work with them, they'll get it straightened out. If the disk is in fact trashed, you'll get a replacement. I'm outta here for the Super Bore!!! JT
