Re: [H] System no boot
I think yes, because Windows systems always writing something on the disk. Normally it should happen nothing, but... you know.

Go into the BIOS and change something minor then save it and then try. -Original Message- From: hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com [mailto:hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of Joe User Sent: Thursday, April 30, 2009 08:25 To: The Hardware List Subject: [H] System no boot Hello, System booted up fine, then I pressed reset to stop it from booting.

Re: [H] System no boot
Hello, try go to BIOS SETUP (mostly key DEL or F2 or F10), save on exit and try again to boot.

Hello Lubomír, Thursday, April 30, 2009, 8:27:15 AM, you wrote: Hello, try go to BIOS SETUP (mostly key DEL or F2 or F10), save on exit and try again to boot. Thanks, I have done that a few times. In fact, I loaded the bios setup defaults and no go. Took the drive and placed into another system seems fine but I am doing a chkdsk now. If this doesn;t find anything I will swap the sata cable. They have the cable bent back over itself and secured with a nylon tie. Not sure if that's OK to do with these sata cables or not. -- Regards, joeuser - Still looking for the 'any' key... ...now these points of data make a beautiful line...
