Hello,
Hi everyone there
Am new to this forum, looks interesting here ,
anyways i have a problem with my HP PAVILLION DV6265US laptop.
It was working well, suddenly got struck once, when i restarted the system its not opening, i se many funny messahes my lappy is showing me..
when i switch on power to lappy its saying
"initializing and establishing link" ....then it says
"media test failure" check media cable
exciting intel boot agent.
now i went to BIOS and check the "Diagniostics" in which i found "Hard disc self test" , when i do the test it says
"NO IDE DEVICE "
So i had taken a connector and connected the hard disc to another PC of mine but in that it says , device not found, or when am trying to install the hard disc its saying ur hard disc might not work properly ..basically hard disc is not getting detected.
Now wat to do ...can anybody suggest me on this....

Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 6.0

If the hard disk is not readable on another computer it's likely broken. I suggest you buy a new hard disk.

Good Luck

Hi

If you haven't got all your old data backed up then you might want to take the dead hard-drive to a data-recovery company and pay them to get yur data back. It does ost quite a lot to do this but if yu were using Linux they might be able to do this faster than normal and so perhaps not be quite so hugely expensive.

I assume you tried different leads when you switched it into the other machine? I also assume the drive is quite old and not under guarantee any more otherwise you might be able to get the original suppliers to suggest how to proceed

Good luck and regards from
Tom
