So, someone pretty much gave me a laptop a while back...a dell latitude...
anyway, i was using it, and on the 3rd day, the screen went white and it froze. I turned it off, and when it went to boot again, it froze at the DELL "bios" loading screen, and after a few minutes, the screen goes white with a message that says "The device in the modular bay cannot be recognized..."
Well, I tried reseating the drive, taking it out, etc...to no avail...
I think the hard drive may be caput, but I tried booting from a SLAX disc, as well as a Damn Small Linux disc, but it wouldnt work. If the hard drive is the only problem, shouldn't I be able to still at least BOOT to a disc?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
