Never had an issue leading up to the laptop not booting. Shutdown one night and it was non-bootable the next. Booted to an old Symantec Works recovery CD on that laptop, ran tests on it, said everything passed. Didn't have access to disk doctor on that laptop. Tried XP recovery CD and that is when the laptop said the drive was only 10MB. Downloaded Norton Utilities on my other Vista laptop, now it says the drive needs to be formatted. It is a 300GB WD Scorpion Blue, about 18 months old.
Thanks,
Rusty
