One day, my old computer stopped working. It was so abrupt. I'd used it the previous night, but this day when I went to turn it on, the monitor came up, the computer started, but then it told me it couldn't detect a primary disk. Since, I've opened up the case a few times and concluded that it was the Maxtor harddrive which had stopped turning/working (I'm not sure which). I've tried replacing the cables with the CD-ROM drive one, but still it doesn't start.
There were a few cool things on the harddrive which I have now lost, even though most of the school work I had I managed to backup before the harddrive went on strike. Is there a way to get the thing to start working again? What do you guys think the problem is? Note, I am not exactly sure that it's the harddrive not turning. It might be a connection or something.
