Hard drive failure
When I power on my Fostex VF 08, it says ''No Drive'', indicating there is no hard drive connected. There is a hard drive connected and I can hear it running, but it still isn't being recognized. What can I do to fix this?

First thing is to open the unit and make sure the drive is connected. Sometimes cables get knocked off.
Next get a new drive... they are relatively inexpensive, like $69 or so and try it.
Take the old drive in your hand and snap your wrist to impart a spin to it. Then try the drive again... If it comes back to life, SAVE ALL THE DATA from it quick, and transfer to the new drive.
