can't detect HD
Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4
Laptop D600 will not boot. Goes to “Unmountable Boot” screen . AutoRecommend: f8 and go into safe mode, that spews a page of win32 files description, then stops. When I insert Xp Pro installation disk, the System description shows HD as “NONE". Can only access the clock to make changes - will not scroll. I installed a new HD and got same “NONE” message. I looked at the original HD pins and inside the tray slot – there was no visible damage.
The last time this computer was shut down, it had 2 peripherals attached to both of the USB ports. This computer had not been moved. These 2 USB peripherals were still attached when I attempted to start . Could the USB’s have caused this problem? How can I get the CPU to see the HD – the install disk won’t help?
