Will try and get an eee 1000H in the mean time so I can blog every so often. I was able to back up the 'Digital Memory' related stuff before it got packed off though, so at least thats good.

I've had a few, so I know what they are like. The timing is screwed for you, too. I wish I was there to help out.<br/><br/>I'm afraid to say it, but it does sound like your hard drive may have died. That noise you describe sounds like failed seeking efforts by the arms in the hard-drive disk. It wouldn't necessarily show on your monitor if it's failed completely. <br/><br/>Another possibility is your mobo, although it's less likely. Try re-setting the CMOS (usually a switch or a jumper) and then re-boot. <br/><br/>If you know a little DOS, you can create a rescue disk on a floppy, re-set the boot order to start with floppy drive, then try to access the drive that is giving you problems. If you can't acces, then it is definitely and most sincerely dead. <br/><br/>I don't suppose you made a backup drive image? <br/><br/>Good luck, Leo. Really sorry about your troubles. Hope your trip is good. Contact me by email if you want any extra help. I’m so sorry to read about your computer crash. I’ve had a few, so I know what they are like.
