Sounds like your hard drive is bad or your HD cable has come loose. You should probably write to [email protected] and ask them if you can open it up and take a look at the cable. That has been a problem in the past. I thought they fixed it with glue or something.. and I've never had trouble with mine so it must be a particuliar batch of empegs.
