Hi everyone,
I was hoping you could help with my laptop.
Basically, last night it was working fine, last thing I did was install avg free in Windows XP. Then I turned it off.
This morning it went to the BSOD when booting up. I had a look in the bios and next to primary (drive) it says 40001mb (i.e., the size of the hard drive in there) - so I assume it can see the drive.
However, when I go into the windows recovery console and type 'map', it only shows the CDROM drive - no C: drive at all. So i can't do checkdisk or anything like that. The C: drive doesn't seem to show in the recovery console, or indeed anywhere outside the bios (where I'm sure it said the name of the drive before, not just the size.)
Any ideas about what might be going wrong? Failed drive perhaps?
Thanks in advance.
Tim
