After doing this, eject the diskette and reboot. You should be able to reboot into Windows and access your data. 2) Loose HDD cable? 3)Stuffed hard disk. |

| 332889 | 2005-03-10 20:46:00 | Is a floppy in the disk drive? if it has a disk drive?? If so, take it out. Or has the BIOS changed the bootdisk to floppy?? If so, change it to the hdd. Doubt if its the hdd cable, since its a laptop. |
