a mate gave me a laptop so I could try to fix it, but whenever I switch it on it displays a warning that the harddisk is not detected, I asked him if he dropped it and he says no. but if I look closer I see that one of the corners is slightly damaged and there is a small gab where the upper part joins the bottom. so my question is is the harddisk recoverable, or is the only way a new harddisk? also the bios is locked, but he doesn't know the password. thx * +

I know how to repair a laptop, but what I wanted to recover is atleast the data on the drive, actualy he locked himself out of the bios by playing with the bios security settings. the only problem is that over here a new laptop harddrivr is nearly the same price as a new low spec laptop * +
