Hard Drive Issue

Waranty would be good, but if he doesnt i think e needs to open up his computer and look inside.

Go here and download seatools, and test your HDD with it.

Hmmm, not sure what that would do like.

U never know wat u can find in ur computer, trust me. dust, wire unplugged, things out of order, and things like that

trust you? why would i do that mate, i dont even know you lol. The thing your missing here is that the HDD is connected because the OS is seeing it. Now theres no other wire that i know of that would make 170gb of his disk go missing.

Ok, now I'm REALLY confused.

Not that I can tell. It says the hard drive is there. So something must be able to read it.

I downloaded EVEREST to make sure I wasn't hallucinating on the drive space, and it's saying the exact same thing the C Drive Properties is saying: 30 GBs total, 10.1 GBs free.

What version of seatools are you running, theres one for DOS and one for windows. Give both versions a go.
