Sounds like there is a good chance your Hard Drive has died. Go into your BIOS and see if it's recognized in there.

Another thing you can do is, if you can determine the mfr of the drive, go to their web site and download their diagnostics program. They run from a floppy and can tell you the condition of the HDD.

Quantum is indeed your hard drive. They have been purchased by Maxtor. I looked around this site which linked from the Quantum site and didn't find anything about your CX drive. You may have to contact Maxtor's customer or tech support to get anything. You could also try downloading Maxtor's diagnostics program, PowerMax Here and trying to run it. It wont do any harm and the program will tell you if it's not compatible.
