craptop died with hard drive, but works with SSD
I had a laptop working fine one day, then next it does not boot.
The drive shows up in BIOS, but a disc diagnostic on CD cannot see it. Not many SATA options in BIOS, just a choice of performance or power saving mode. I put the hard drive into a desktop, and it booted and danced with white doves in the flowers and lived happily ever after. I put another hard drive into laptop, and same problem - diagnostics cannot detect it. But then put an SSD into the laptop, and I was able to install linux on it, no worries. Weird - maybe the power to the drive socket is marginal? Unfortunately no spare connectors, as with a desktop. |
