So my DW 7 year old Acer Windows 7 laptop finally died with little warning. She tried to turn it on one day last week, and the only message on the screen was "no bootable drive found, insert boot disk to continue".
My poking around and opening the case looks like the HD wont spin at all. The case had an empty HD slot, so I changed to that slot and still nothing. My laptop is similar as her's just a year or so newer so I also tried her HD in my laptop. Still nothing. She didn't' have a lot on the drive, but on document she would really like to get back is a Excel document she made to log the last 15+ years of RV parks we stopped at. It's all text so it's not a huge file, but it would be ton's of work to do over.
Any suggestions?
