I was working away this morning and all of a sudden, the hard drive that holds my data disappeared as if it were never there. A few restarts, a check of the drive status of in the startup bio screen, and it is no where to find. Various diagnositics utilies were unable to find any trace of it.
I am assuming that his is just an old fashioned hardware failure, but wanted to check with the hardware gurus out there to see if anyone had any other ideas.
Thankfully, I keep the operating systems and programs on a separate SSD and the data is all on Dropbox, so once the hard drive is replaced and the Dropbox folders are populated, I should be back in business.
Nothing say Christmas like a hardware failure.
