Re: Hardrives Don't exsist

OK, I agree in not updating the BIOS as not only is it difficult but dangerous.

1. I have Physically remove the hardrives I have 2 100GB FUJITSU SATA HDD

2. I Then did insert them into another Sony laptop i am lucky to have (well only 1 of them as the other laptop only has one slot) I ran the Windows CD it found the HDD and not only found it successfully installed it and ran it on the other laptop.

3. I have reset the CMOS and set BIOS to default, I unplugged a battery fromthe motherboard and left it for 10 minutes. However i can only see one side of the motherboard so there could be a battery underneath that i can't get to. However i only think 1 would be on the motherboard.

4. Once reinserted nothing change what so ever.

Just a quick question just preparing for the worst case senario. What could a recyle from my laptop I am thinking HDD's Memory? Blue Ray drive? Even Screen?

BTW Trigger I am unbelieveable greatfull for your continuous help mate your a legend
