Re: Primary harddrive disk 0 not found

Go into the bios at startup and see if the bios finds a hard drive. If not your hard drive may be dead.

Re: Primary harddrive disk 0 not found

i have a C600 and it is telling me the same thing. but the screen that comes up first asks for a hard drive password, and without it, it says I cannot access my files. i don't have a password for the harddrive. why is it doing this?
