Did you have a bios password enabled on the c640? if yes, the password transfers over to the hard-drive as well and will need to be removed first. If no, then your drive is probably failing, mechanical or firmware. |

more likely a damaged board on the drive that has failed first option is match up the board |

Not ATA password as disk is not recognised at all. If your laptop was overheating then possibly the PCB is damaged. Or possibly worse, but as this is NOT a logical failure there is no software available for a quick fix. Consult a professional, and at the very least get an accurate diagnostic. |
