I think we need more information.

How is it killing HDDs?

What are you using it for?

Which drives are you using?

What o/s is it?

When did you last run a full virus & malware scan?

Have the same problem with Compaq n610, it killed me 3 hdd. Problem was in charger connector it was shaky and laptop often if battery is low shuts down. I replaced connector on motherboard and problem stopped. Before i replace it i used laptop only on battery not while it is charging. I hope this will help you.

The O/S is Vista and its just used for basic stuff in house; checking mails and basic internet stuff.

I couldn't understand why?

[Wale04]

when the laptop is power up the message on the screen is that there is no HHD detected

[Wale04]

the HHD is 2.5 SATA; 160gb.

If u have dvd rom u can download ubuntu and run live version from dvd it can work without hdd and you can use it for basic stuff.
