It then says hard disk failure, press f1 to continue...
BTW it has 3 ide HD's, so it looks for windows on the slave but it aint there so i have to restart (Ctrl,Alt & Del) then windows loads again fine but only for about 5 mins before it does it again...only done it twice (i thought i'd ask for help before trying anything).
If the disk is knackerd..can i some how duplicate the HD to one of the others so i dont have to go through all that again ?
If it helps i am confident it will load up windows again but maybe only for 5 - 10 minutes..
Any help will be great, Thanks. |
Check all the cable connections mate and unplug the other Hard drives.
What does it say in POST? Any indication as to the Hard drive itself?
