# If these fail, you could
get hold of a CD of Debian, which on booting form the CD has a host of cross-platform setup options for the state you want your hdd to be in. It sounds a bit drastic, but you get to apply many options non-destructively....

There are loads of Debian images all over the place, you can Google them, but they are quite big.

...sorry - Debian is an open unix/linux release.

Oh - I just read further down. I'll shut up now.

# does the BIOS still see the drive ?
installing software DOES NOT cause drives to die.

it's either:

a: a rare (but not unheard of) bootsector virus thats overwriten the MBR

b: hardware failure

if a: you should be able to get the data back, if b: then you have a new paperweight.
