Yep it's well and truely gone. I can get to the repair menus by using the DVD I burned, but it says the drive is locked... however in command prompt under diskpart the drive appears to not actually exist..... though I do get an X: drive which appears to have programfiles/windows folders on it????
Anyway I think I'll be removing the harddrive and wiping it/reformatting it via a caddy to restore this one!!
