    OK, my S96J has been running fine with my 60 GB 7200 RPM Hitachi Travelstar (sata) for a while now, without screws holding it in the drive caddy (couldn't find any to match). Today though, it wouldn't come out of standby, then upon rebooting, it prompted me to insert a boot disk. I made sure the HD was connected and it is, I can hear it spinning as it starts up. Why is the drive not being read? It worked before...could it have come loose while connected, corrupting the files?
