Booting error 'Checking Media [Fail]'
Hi, I am facing this checking media [fail] problem since a week. As already verified in other forum, selected F2 on Windows logo and in settings updated the Windows Boot Manager as 1st option . and selected F10, so it got restarted. Even then the problem is not resolved.
Further again I followed the same and set to have default settings ,keeping Windows boot Manager as 1st option still and it restarted.. Still it dint work in the sense after few seconds blank screen is being shown.
So when I m giving 3rd attempt to do something, now if I select F2 key on Dell logo , by then itself screen is directly taking to blank screen without giving options to update the settings.
I m quite struck as I m not able to continue further with any options.
So experts please help me to resolve this problem !!
Thank-you in advance !!

Sounds like a crashed hard drive to me just off the top. 3.5 years is a long time for a spinner. Seems that F12 on boot up will give an option to run some diagnostics. That would be a good starting point and should give you an Idea if your issue is hardware or software.
