maybe a usb device plugged? if not try in bios\boot sequence to set cdrom - hd - usbdev. then try to boot with the puppy sturdust linux cd. if it work is just the internal hd; format it and reinstall. hope it help bye
Could be the HDD or even just the boot sector itself. Basically, it's not able to read the Operating System Boot...or it got damaged somehow. If you have a disc for the exact version that is on the system, you may be able to fix it through the Advanced Options using the command prompt. (bootrec.exe /fixboot /fixmbr /scanos /rebuildbcd)
To change the ide mode back to sata mode you will have to enter the bios.
To enter the bios you will start the computer and as it is starting tapping the delete key,F2 or F10 key depending on your computer.
Once you are in the bios you can change the ide mode back to sata mode.

Hi,
It seems the operating system of your laptop is corrupted. Try to reinstall the Operation System if you have the recovery CD/DVD which came with the laptop.
Make sure you do not have any devices plugged in to the computer like a USB flash drive or a MMC. Usually what you have to do about that is to drain the power of the computer. Turn it off, remove the battery, unplug the AC adapter and then press the power button for 5 secs. Turn it on using the AC adapter alone. if you still get the same message, You will have to physically open the back of your laptop and reseat the Hard drive. If it still wont correct the problem, restart you computer and either press f2 or delete to enter the BIOS page. check if the HDD is properly detected and try to reload the BIOS defaults. now if any of these wont work, call ACER and most probably your Hard Drive is bad.
