Well you could try putting a cleaning disk in, but it's almost as cheap and quick to replace the drive. Maybe there are other ideas...?

Have you changed/installed/uninstalled anything on your system since the drive last worked?

I don't want to mention it yet but I have an idea.:hmm:

One thing to " try " is unplug it and plug it back in ( computer powered down of course .... or change the power lead with a different one that isn't used or switch with a hard drive one ......
