well I booted up with the Vista DVD and ran checkdisk from the command prompt. It recognized the disk no prob, did it’s thing and returned zero corruption. The drive is recognized in the BIOS. I was able to run a system restore on the drive, but it didnt fix shit.

It is a western digital drive though. please tell me its not fried. I always assumed that the 500gb was twin 250’s, given the C and D drive config, but I am not acutely aware of the fact that it’s a single 500, with two partitions. All of my company data, bids, quickbooks, etc are on there. I was always adamant about backing things up and keeping a copy on the C and on the D drive. Lot of fucking good that did, eh?
