Went on vacation and powered the desktop down for a week. Got back and it would not boot - the usual disk spin up and 6 clicks-then down and up and 2 clicks.

The bios did not recognize the drive. I found this place and SOMEWHERE I read someones advice to make sure the power supply was not loaded down, so the drive could get all the power needed to start.

I disconnected on of my DVD writers and all USB except keyboard and mouse, and VOILA!! The drive booted. Now to get my DATA!!!!

Good Job
