Help on hardDisk - System disk not found

Hi,

I have a Quantum Fireball CR 10GB hardDisk on ASUS P2BF-103 mainboard.

Recently, when I load my PC. It says "System disk not found" (and a cracking
sound on the harddisk). The bios able to detect it but when I use fdisk, it
says "Disk not found".

Anyone knows is there any lower level of detecting the harddisk (I suspect
the Master Boot Drive is corrupted) or is there a utility from Quantum for
this kinda problems?

Thanks for any help out there.


PS: Kindly email all advises to me as I usually need to go cybercafe to read

I always thought it was dangerous calling a hard drive Fireball.

Its just living up to its name.

Its much more likely that the drive is so sick that only the bios can
see it or that sometimes its visible and sometimes its not, in time.

Quantum is now owned by Maxtor, their utes are on the maxtor site.
