    If you are using Laptop the there is no question without calling a Technician, If you use Desktop then, you may try at your own risk. First you shut down the machine and then open the data cable from the Hard Drive. Then you press the start button. You will hear two/three beep sound as it can't recognise any hard drive. It also show you boot failure "please select a boot device". Now you may check the jumper position for you drive. You may follow the jumper setting from the web-side of the drive manufacturer. If the jumper is OK. If you drive is made by Seagate, then you may try to check the drive from Seagate Seatools to check the drive integrity. If it pass in all test then there is no question to re-format the Hard Disk. I will prefer to fill the drive Zero fill to remove any virus.
