hi all
This all started with the laptop crashing.
I eventually was able to reformat the hard drive, by putting it in a caddy,
and using my other pc to carry this out.
The hard drive is listed in the bios, but isn't seen when booting the laptop
up using a floppy disk. i.e. after it boots up, and I type, c: it goes to
c:, but it is in fact reading the cdrom. it will only let me access a: and
c:, which as I said, is actually the cdrom.
I've looked in the bios, and there isn't anything obvious to say that it is
disabled.
The hard drive is working, as I can see it in my computer, when I connect it
to another pc.
When I try to boot the laptop up using a xp home edition cd, again nothing
happens, because I guess it hasn't got anything to load on to.
Any ideas has to what I need to do?
Thanks for any help.
Terry
