| 707924 | 2008-09-26 04:11:00 | It's an awkward bios. Compaq nc8230 notebook I couldn't see anywhere where the bios identifies the drives. I was only able to tell which boot priority devices. |

| 707925 | 2008-09-26 04:15:00 | OK...maybe it has some kind of HDD protection, some of those HP business laptops did. Put the old HDD in, and have a look in the BIOS for any kind of HDD protection settings/HDD lock. I can't remember exactly what they call it off the top of my head. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 707926 | 2008-09-26 04:26:00 | I've disabled drive lock. Put the new hdd in, rechecked that the drive lock was off & no change - still no boot |

| 707927 | 2008-09-26 04:40:00 | OK. I'd try re-cloning the drive with drive lock turned off. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 707928 | 2008-09-26 04:43:00 | Thank you to you both for your input. I will try the re-cloning this weekend. Time to knock off! Have a great weekend. |
