Following message just happened on wife's computer: ST3500418AS Hard Disk Failure Imminent press F2 or F10 to proceed. However, when I press them, nothing happens. Just need to know if the data can be saved and what I need to do now. I have some experience on the computers but not much.:dance:
I would go to Seagates website and download their bootable diagnostic tool. Burn to disk, boot off the disk and run the long test! It will attempt to repair the disk.
In the BIOS there is a tab called boot, enter into that and then enter into boot devices and make sure cd rom is first. it should allready be. To get into BIOS press the del key apon bootup.
Well, tried that and no go. It wouldn't boot from CD, and I can't get into BIOS using delete key, so I guess I can only go to a computer repair center to see what they can do. It turns on but only shows the original info I noted. Press F10 or F2 and neither of those work. nada
