"Operating System Not Found" - revisited
Whew what a long road this has been! I finally got info that the drive
is a Fujitsu MHF2043AT. Went to Fujitsu and downloaded their disk diagnostic and ran and it everything came up roses. So the only thing that I can think of is that the drive is loose and not making contact all the time. I have re-seated it and pushed it in as far as it will go without crushing the drive itself. I tightened all the little screws around it. I looked at the connector on the drive and on the laptop but could not see any bent or damaged pins and no way to make the connection tighter, short of jamming a piece of wood in there. :P Fujitse had no FAQ relating to this problem, and their real person chat seems to be out of commission. Didn't see any email addy. Oh, yeah, the status code reported by the diagnostic was: B000F4 if that means anything to anyone. Thanks for the help. -- The Seabat |

Had you posted your problem before? No one can tell what you said previously
because you created a new thread this time and few will go to the trouble of searching the NG for your previous posts, if any. I scanned down the first screen page of this NG, and saw your ID nowhere. |

The HD would not show up in the BIOS at all. It's like it is all there and running 5X5 or there is zilch for a HD. Irritating! -- The Seabat |
