My girlfriend's computer has apparently gone dead (or maybe just quadriplegic) on her. After restarting from a Norton scan and quarantine of her computer, she was greeted with the blue screen of death. Restarting again she had black screen and a message saying that an ethernet controller was missing and a cable should be checked (she tells me that this was one of the items quarantined by Norton).
Trying to run a repair of the system shows her ~60GB harddrive as the right size, but with unknown content (nothing in terms of partitions, free space, etc.). Best Buy Geek Squad say they can't read the drive and she needs to find specialists to restore its contents (they estimate a $1500 pricetag for the service).
What can we do to fix it short of replacing the harddrive, which I think is the only solution left at this point?
Thanks for the help in advance.
