| | Vaio laptop not loading past bios. HDD problem? Hey, first post! I'm trying to fix a vaio laptop at the moment and am a bit stuck The screen doesn't go past the vaio. It just before the windows logo would normally appear. I tried using the windows 7 cd to try a repair or cmd/chkdsk etc, but the OS wasn't found/listed. I also tried to do a clean install and the HD wasn't detected by windows 7 setup. I also tried booting up with ubuntu and the HD still wasn't detected. Can I assume this is a busted HD? Should I still shoot for a bootage diagnostic cd for the hard drive? Thanks, Blue |

| | Welcome to Windows Seven Forums... Enter BIOS and check HDD is shown or not? Try to set BIOS default values. If the HDD is visible then make it the first boot device and then CD/DVD and reboot. Finally try to boot with a Linux on CD and check the HDD. Or download UBCD4Win or Hiren's CD and run chkdsk on the HDD. |
