Is there anything special about HP laptop hard drives? It's a Hitachi drive but, when I connected it to my desktop it was not detected by the BIOS.
The laptop does nothing and I thought it was a BIOS problem but, now I'm not so sure. When powered up the screen stays blank and sometimes it gives 2 beeps. I did get it to start once and it was trying to repair files on the hard drive then stopped with a failure report.
When I did manage to get into the BIOS on the laptop it only had two options either test memory or test hard drive but, since then I've not managed to get it to do anything.
