Old DELl GX260 had a 20Gig HDD. I replaced the HDD with a 160Gig installed everything needed and everything “was” detected and working fine… About 2 weeks later, I’m getting the “Press F1 or F2” message because it cannot detect Primary 0?
I checked in BIOS and it reads UNKNOWN (This is a brand new HDD)?
I changed the jumper settings from Cable Select to Master Single drive and that did not work?
I switched the IDE cable’s from the HDD and the CD DRIVE to see if it was a bad IDE cable but the CD DRIVE still detected?
I removed all IDE Cable from the CD Drive and booted up with same error?
I ran HDD diagnostics with the error message returning that it did not detect the drive?
I have the latest BIOS (A09) for GX260.
I have a verified Genuine or Valid Copy of XP PRO SP2.
Any thoughts on this new HDD and why it could have just “changed it’s mind 2 weeks later?” I would really appreciate some help…
Thanks
