Re:failed hard drives (Score 1)

a friend of mine had a computer, he had it off for around a month while on vacation. he got back, turned it on, everything works. it then froze up and would no longer boot. i went over to take a look at it and the bios wasnt showing any harddrives in the machine at all. i opened up the case, dusted it out, looked for any loose connections, found none. i was confused as to why i got the error in the first place, but i plugged it in after only dusting it out and it has worked fine ever since. i explained how i fixed the drive as it being afraid of me and working because of that.
