I have a HP nx6020 laptop which was showing signs of hard disk failure, so I bought another to install.
However, after installation, the hard drive refuses to boot, I get a quick message flashing up on the screen saying Media Test Failure – Check Cable. This comes up even after after I removed the drive. When I try to boot from CD to run setup it says there is no hard drive installed.
I know the drive is correctly installed as I’m using the correct adapter to fit it inside and it fits snugly and securely.
I have tried other drives (though they’re older ones) – with the same result.
I can’t see how a laptop which worked fine (despite the unreliable hard drive) has now become a laptop which won’t accept a brand new hard drive.
Can you give me any advice ?
Regards,
Julia
