Hard Disk Failure Alright, here's the story. I'd appreciate it if I didn't receive a barrage of troll replies, but I expect it nonetheless. Woke up this morning, felt like getting on my computer. It simply wouldn't load to the user login screen. No matter what route I took, after the green loading bar screen that says 'Microsoft", it went to a black screen. I'm running on Windows 7, HP computer. I was incredibly persistent to fix the issue, I had work to do on the computer. After going through LITERALLY every option under EVERY hotkey/function key, I remembered I had recovery discs. Popped those in, nope, no avail. I stumbled upon a screen that displayed test results for... I believe it was: CPU (Passed), Hard Drive Connection (Passed)
