Primary drive 0 not found

by wesley.chin . Updated 17 years, 11 months ago

When the machine starts to bootup, the message is that that the “primary drive 0 not found” F1 to retry, F2 to enter setup utility”. Besides the hard drive, the computer only has a floppy drive and a CD/RW drive. The BIOS reports the primary master drive as not installed, the secondary master drive as the CD/RW, and the floppy drive as installed. Primary and secondary slave drives are off, as indicated by BIOS

According to the user, he came in one morning and saw a cryptic message against a blue background. User said machine was normal when he left it to go home.

The GUI does not ever begin to load.
