    Hi,

    I have a T61 that will not boot, and the HDD is not showing up in the bios. When I run PC Doctor though, it says the HDD is working, and the hard drive is actually spinning.

    When a boot disk is put in to format the drive, no drive is found.

    Can anybody help me here?

    I'm going to try switching the drive out with another T61's drive to see if it's the HDD or not. Would flashing the bios work, assuming I do it right? Any other ideas? Thanks.
