[member=421]pelouk[/member] If you have nothing important on the hdd you could try and reinstall, all depends if the 250Gb is still usable. The idea of using the live usb was to get to the desktop and see if the hdd would show as a removable drive. The commands I mentioned could be done from the terminal in a live session.
When the partition drive comes up during the reinstall check which drive shows, you might find it tries to reinstall to your usb drive rather than the 250Gb drive if as I suspect the hdd has failed.
Either way you will know for certain if the hdd is usable
