Hey Stray,
There's a lot of stuff it could be,
need some more info..
1) what operating system.
2) did it work before and for how long
3) do you have a rescue disk or CD
4) what's your level of knowledge with PC's
I'll certainley try and hep you, I'll give you a few things to try.
However, work means I'm not always available at a PC,
e-me at
Adrian@ajansz.source.co.uk
things to try
1) Boot disk,
If you have a boot disk/recovery disk, try loading from that, so at least you get the command prompt c:>
2) Loading
when you switch on your PC, does it do the BIOS and RAM check's check
3) Hard drive detect
You might need to get into the BIOS, (when loading press DEL) try and find the setup menu, hard drive menu, autosetup.
basically your trying to get the BIOS to find your harddrive
a lot of things could be the problem.
so e-me with the above details and tell me exactly what it does,
from switching it on, on screen messages, bleeps etc.
