so just today I guess my hard drive decided to kick the bucket atleast I think. It's been acting sluggish over the last month and I have been getting alot of bsod. But just today my hard drive is all of a sudden not reconizable by my operating system (windows 7 64 bit). That is problem one, I have tried reformatting but again windows will not register my hard drive. I tried doing a system repair but again hard drive not registering.
The 2nd problem is that I can not boot into windows, This morning everything was working perfectly and randomly but computer shuts off and tries to restart but I get an error before the windows loading screen even pops up saying BOOTMGR missing something along those lines. I have tried unplugging everything, reseating everything and leaving out the cmos battery for hours and still nothing seems to work.
Recently I have had a fludder of power surges flipping my breaker and my computer being shut off that way alot over the last months I guess it destroyed my hd maybe? As it's spinning it makes a clicking like noise.
Hard Drive is a Seagate Baracuda 640gb. I believe I purchased it in 08.
Thanks guys, I'm losing my mind on what to do here. Also if someone can recommend a inexpensive SATA hard drive around $40 that would be awesome just something I can use temporarily.
