Hard Drive Failure Error

[CST]

I am getting a failure message when trying to boot. The hard drive detection comes up with failure then a load of garbbled words. I have tried booting it as a slave but no good. Is ther anything else I can do?

Thanks

Catherine

boot from floppy andsee if it is there. fdisk /mbr will reload the bootstrap. sys c: will reinstall the critical OS files.
Sometimes drives will lose their minds. Take power all the way off for a minute and see if it will come back up with a power up reset. Ed Fair
