I experienced a similar case with my previous notebook. The hard disk was gone completely and the notebook wouldn't boot anymore. In brief, notebook hard disks are not that reliable and the defective rate is far more than normal hard disks. My notebook hard disk was made in Phillipens, which I never knew they were manufacturing hard disks before, that's why I usually pick hard disks made in singapore, Malyasia or Taiwan, they are the best as far as I tried till now.
