Hello, I am trying to solve a hdd problem. The drive in question is a
Western Digital Caviar SE, serial ATA. Model # wd2000js-22mhbo.
Everything was ok up to about a week ago, now the drive seems to just
trip over and over, like a slow repeated stumble. I cant start up in
safe mode to check for a virus , as the pc will attempt to start in
safe mode, it reboots and start the process again. The c: drive is not
recognized in My computer, so I am unable to run a check disk. Could
the drive be damaged due to a virus or is it just at the end of its
service? I dont know and I could use some help from someone with more
insight on these matters. Please and thanks for your time and
patience.

Unplug the power cable from the rear of the computer case.
Remove the case cover. Unplug and replug securely all of the
cables/connectors that you can reach. Replace the case cover. Plug in the
power cord. Restart the computer.
There is a 50/50 chance that you have solved the problem. That's the best
that I can offer. It has worked for me numerous times over the years. Good
luck.
