Not a great link DIYSpanner. Google Chrome (browser) flags up a warning about this site containing malware.

Here's the web page with the same that Igorian posted above for me to try

I'd come across the second and found it easier to read.

I think myself that the HDD is a write off. When trying to boot with Hiren's CD, the boot stalls if the HDD is plugged whereas if I hot plug after booting, the system hangs for about 20 seconds.

Try testing it with the manufacturer tools.

I tried the WD's own software and it reported read errors due to locked disk.

Someone has suggested a firmware fault so I believe its time for a new HDD.

Thanks for the posted advice folks.

[DIYspanner]

Pardon my ignorance, whats the thanks button?

 

[Monsterminty]

if you have found a reply helpful, there is a button at the top right of each post. Like a rating system, it helps other users decide whether or not to trust the person posting an answer.

I can see buttons for New Post, Reply, Quote and for stuff like Tweet but there's no Thank button that I can see.

 

[joinerjohn]

Every post and reply has the thanks button. All buttons are in a line at the top right of each post and say , in order,,, Wiki, Quote, Ignore, Thanks.
Unless you look at your own post/reply then it says, Wiki, Quote, Edit, Ignore.

All done - found and used the Thank button.
