[newbie] PRIMARY MASTER HARD DISK FAIL

2002-10-16 Thread Dimitris Adamopoulos

Need some help here!
Yesterday I installed mandrake 8.2 on my oldie. P133 with 72mb RAM and a
10gb quantum fireball.
When I finished the installation everything seemed to be right.
The system was stable. Only when I had the kde up was a bit slow, something
expected of cource.
After about an hour the system went on stand by mode and the monitor
turned off.
When I moved the mouse to wake up the system the monitor turned on but the
only think I saw was a stucked screenshot!
My system was crashed.
I did my best to recover it but the only way to move on was to push the
power off button.
When I tried to reboot I saw this f.. message:
PRIMARY MASTER HARD DISK FAIL

Due to my old BIOS the primary disk it seems to be only 8gb aprox.
but during the 8.2 installation progress the disk was seemed to be 10gb
(actual size)
What happened?
I am a new linux user and I would really like to know what went wrong.
Thanks .. Until my next crash!
