Hi Terry
I have not used the site for a while but the Citizens Advice Bureau have
an online resource called www.adviceguide.org.uk which wil give you soem
intial advice on your statutory rights. As well as this the government
have recently set up Consumer Direct which is a national helpline for
consumer issues. I would stronly recommend that you look at these as
your guarantee may not be the final word as far as your rights are
concerned.
Regards
Matt

Subject: [access-uk] hard drive crash help please
Hi all
I was hoping someone could try to help me out here.
I have a HP Compaq Pavilion dv1000 (1665 eu) entertainment notebook.
Last Satureday, the laptop died on me. I didn't look for the garentee
until the next
day, Sunday, only to find out that it ran out the day before!!! I was
gutted.
The pc won't boot up to the windows screen, instead it just just keeps
rebooting. It won't boot up in safe mode, and when I tried to reinstall
xp, using
a cd, it got so far then came up with a message saying something like,
it couldn't find a hard drive to install the oporating system to.
I don't know whether my hard drive is dead, or perhaps whether the file
alocation table has become corrupt.
I have a couple of questions.
can I somehow connect my lap top to another pc, to try to use a file
recovery programme that I have, and if so, what sort of lead can I use.
Can you get
a USB to USB lead?
Any ideas where I could get a replacement drive from at a sensible
price?
Any help appreciated.
Terry
