Hi
I had my PC in the sleep mode. When I wanted to start it up it took a very long time to start up, the screen was just black. This has happened before, I used the power button to turn it off and restart again. Now this time when I started the PC the main HD couldn't be recognized (ahci part0 device error). The drive does power up and the sound seems normal.
I have installed a new OS on the secondary drive and when I start the PC while the main drive is also plugged in it takes a lot longer before it boots, then it gives the ahci device error. It's like it does recognize it but unable to connect.
Is the HD dead? Or would I somehow be able to get my data back?
Sending it to a recovery company is not an option, too expensive....
