HP Pavilion a6000, 4Gb, Windows 7
Samsung HD642JJ 1TB drive
Computer was working great.
It now stops at the BIOS screen the BIOS keys sometimes work, sometimes don't. I removed the drive and I can read the partitions/directories (backed up a few that I needed for the day). At one point it did get me into the HP diagnostics and the memory scan showed 100% ok. It did not detect the hdd!
Instead of just buying another drive (if it is the drive), is maybe the MBR trashed? A disk surface scan showed no errors (however that was a Seagate product); don't have a Samsung product.
The DVD light is blinking and I can't geta DVD to run to run MEM386+. Maybe try trading memory?
Thanks!
