Hi.
Just recently my hard drive has died. It's an HDD i use for my steam games. I noticed Steam wasn't responding and I tried to exit by right clicking on the icon and clicking 'Exit Steam'.
As that didn't work I went to task manager and ended the processes.
Trying to boot up Steam I got:
"The drive or network connection that the shortcut 'Steam Client Bootstrapper' refers to is unavailable. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available, and then try again."
Turned off PC and checked hard drive plugs and sockets, all are in and where they should be.
I looked in Disk Management and the drive is not missing. I believe it's dead.
Are there any other ways I could go about testing to see if it's really dead or just really good at hiding...
Thank you!
