    how to tell if hard drive is dead?

    What i would do is open up the laptop carefully, remove the hard drive from the laptop and then mount that drive in an external SATA-to-USB adapter and plug it into another computer. Once done, install HDDscan ( http://www.hddscan.com/ ) and run a scan, it should tell you if there are any errors...
