No Boot Device Available
I upgraded the memory and the hard drive on latitude c600. Everything went well at first. I installed windows xp pro on the new harddrive. When it go to where you click the next button to enter the serial number the laptop froze. A blue screen then came up and said something like a memory dump.
I rebooted and now it won't boot to cd-rom or the hard drive. The hard drive is not showing in the Bios either. Where as before it was showing there.
I took the cd-rom out and tried to boot to hard drive. No go. Took the hard drive out to boot to cd-rom. No go. I also tried removing the memory. Nothing
Does anyone have some ideas on why it would be doing this? Or how I can fix it?
Thank you

Put the screws back in and all the components. Booted up and was able to install Windows 2000 this time. Everything went well.
I took it home with me to install drivers and programs. Now it is say "Primary hard disk drive 0 not found".
What is wrong here? Is there something loose causing this problem?
Thank you

Maybe something loose or maybe faulty hard drive. Was it new? Do you still have old drive? If so, try sticking it back in and see if problem persists. Normally removing and reinserting hard drive cures this problem (if drive is ok) but it should not keep happening. I presume you are able to lock it in ok so that the caddy is flush with the case?
