Sounds like it is spinning fine, but I was able to find that out... It won't allow me to start windows though... Guessing I am out of luck and need to purchase new....

Anyone know where I could take the drive in to see I they can do anything? Or just take the loss.... I'm frustrated about this.... My pictures are not worth $1000 to me... It sucks but life goes on....
Again, put it in an external and boot off another computer like we've mentioned multiple times here. Just because Windows won't boot doesn't mean you should give up trying to grab files off it.
