Does the laptop BIOS "see" the new drive? If not the drive must be "Initialised" first, otherwise it will not recognise you have a drive in the bay. Place the drive in a USB caddy and using another laptop or your laptop with the old hard drive in it, select Control Panel and Adminastrative Tools. Select Computer Management, From the side panel select Disk Management to view selected drives. The disk drive that is connected via USB will be there. Click the drive and select initialise then format and select a drive letter. OR With the new drive in the laptop bay, set the BIOS menu, on your laptop, to use DVD/CD ROM drive as first boot device. Place your System disk in the drive and boot from the disk. Follow the instructions, (if any) on the screen and let the new system software initialise and format the new drive. Hope that helps
Backup your programs immediately to a thumb drive or external HD. The hard drive may be on the brink of failing. You can replace a hard drive, it's your information thats on it that you may not be able to if it totally crashes!
just remove the ram and clean it and fix it again or you can try with connecting other monitor and make sure the laptop is booting properly only problem with screen.
Download the file and extract it with winzip or Winrar. Burn the ISO image and boot the system using "Hiren's Boot CD" (Set the BIos to Boot from CD-ROM).
You can now easily backup your important data to a USB external Hard drive or to a Network location.
when turning on the system go into the BIOS and reset back the seeting s to factory defaults and reboot the system .. If this fails then reseat the Hard drive may have come loose or ?
did you recently add new software ? drivers ? hardware?
Try booting into the BIOS Screen and resetting to factory defaults. If that fails suggest swapping the hard drive out and re-install the Operating System - Save your old data and migrate the data off the old drive. You can buy an external drive adapter to connect the harddrive to a USB port to migrate you data.
Good Luck!
Can you access F10 bios - if you can access bios you have a hard disc failure - remove you hard drive - boot the system without the hdd and see if the pixie boot boot goes through - seen it before - your hdd is unservicable.
