Unordered List not showing bullet points

For some reason any unordered list I create does not have bullet points on them. It shows the items listed, but there are no bullets before them. There is nothing in the CSS file that is for any list at all. The list is nested inside a table cell. Here is the code for that particular section:

Code:
<table width="100%" height="364" border="0" cellpadding="6">
  <tr>
    <td>
    <p>If your drive is exhibiting any of these symptoms, turn it off. Most unrecoverable data is a result of failed recovery attempts.</p>
	<ul>
		<li>Drive is making unusual noises (clicking, buzzing)</li>
		<li>Drive does not sound like it is powering on or spinning</li>
		<li>Drive won't boot</li>
		<li>"No Operating System Found" message at boot up</li>
		<li>Accidentally formatted drive or deleted important files</li>
		<li>Your laptop or external drive was accidentally dropped</li>
		<li>Received Windows "Blue Screen of Death"</li>
		<li>Attempted to repair or restore your system and now can't see your files</li>
		<li>Drive "hangs" when attempting to boot</li>
	</ul>
</td>
  </tr>
</table>

Anyone know why this is happening?

The only way that would happen is if you have a list_style_type:none; applied to the <ul> somewhere.

Of course you could also be having issues with an image bullet that won't show.

I doublechecked and there is no code for any lists in the CSS file.

I had thought at first it may have been something with the PC I was using so I have tried on several browsers on 2 different PC's and nothing shows.

That code works fine here, so it has to be something else you haven't shown us.

Here's your code live:

Try out, see if you get the circular bullets.

I ended up taking the list out of the current table it was in and placing it under the table and now it is working.

You may have had a specific style you were ovelooking something like:

table ul{
list-style-type:none;
}

Or it could have been a margin or padding setting.
