Hello..

I seem to be having problem with a 3, 4 year old hard drive.

Normally, my drive gives me no problems.  However, this morning,
I turned on my computer to be greeted with the message
"Primary master hard disk fail", after the BIOS memory test was complete.

I tried reseating cables, but there is no change.  I'd also like to add
that there is an annoying high pitch noise emanating from the drive, and
on occasion, the drive sounds as if the head is hitting a stop of some sort.

My question:  Is my hard disk truly dead?  Can I possibly do anything to
revive
it?

*sigh*

Thanks in advance,

Perry Rivera ...
