i'm thinking of swapping my gaming PC for a macbook Pro as with the little one i don't get chance anymore to play my games.

not sure what my PC would fetch though

I got a Macbook Pro about 2 years ago after my Laptop went Schizo.

My advice would be simple - Get a Mac.

If the jumpers are set wrong then windows WILL NOT see the drive, the only 2 things that will stop a drive working that windows can see is the 2 items I posted above, either the drive has fucked or the driver for the drive has fucked and needs reinstalling, nothing else at all will stop the drive working, trust me I do know this for a fact.

If you reinstall windows it could fix the problem but a much easier remedy the problem is to uninstall the drive in control panel and then reinstall it after a reboot.

DO NOT GET A MAC.

I fully intend trying this tonight anyway regardless

What about if a little ant crawled in and planted itself on the laser. But then it fell off and so it worked again. Where are your facts now then, eh, eh.
