Every time I switch the laptop on now it says 'harddrive not detected' and I have to unscrew the back and put it back again. It used to happen once in a blue moon and now it's happening all the time, really pissing me off.
Anyone know why this is happening over and over and if there's anything I can do myself about it?

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k. “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi. Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

Is the laptop in the right place at the same time? You need both really. Hope this helps |

I fail to see why the location of your house is relevant. fair enough if it was a desktop but the whole point of a laptop is you can use it anywhere |
