Hi guys, Thanks for all your help, I have decided to bite the bullet and get a new laptop, rather than throw money at this one. I will use the hdd from old machine as storage backup etc. Thanks again guys for all your help. cheers Bob

Hi Ken No Cd drive was not working before this problem, I have tried to change the boot order, but made no difference, You say try another drive, but I am a bit concerned that I cannot load the drivers for cddrive, as I cannot get into system? I will replace if I can load drivers. cheers Bob

Hi Guys, Have now got usb hard disc enclosure, have connected laptop hdd tp my desktop pc via usb. Desktop pc reads laptop hdd perfectly, but I do not know what to do now to rectify the problem. The enclosure came with a usb lead with one connecter to go to enclosure and two usb plugs on other end, one plugs into desktop usb. Any advice please. Cheers Bob

Thanks for this guys, I am going to try and get a usb enclosure ordered, Here in France it can take a while to get . As soon as I get it I will be back. Regards Bob

Hi yes sorry about that I have tapped every f number. You say hard drive seems to have died , when I boot it goes as far as the xp screen with the blue bar, then error message comes up. The make is packard bell easynote k5285. Thanks again Bob

Thanks Bluesplayer, I will wait to see if any one comes up with any ideas Cheers Bob

Hi Bluesplayer, thanks for your reply, The problem I have is , my computer bios does not have boot from usb option. My cd/dvd drive will not read any discs, I think it has lost the drivers. I have a recovery disc that came with the computer, but I cannot use the cd/dvd player. I have tried to boot up in safe mode , but I get the same fatal error message, and system shuts down. Is there any way that you can make it boot from a usb stick, or is it a case of scrapping my laptop. Eagerly await your response. I cannot get into system at all to do any checks. Cheers Bob

If I try to boot in safe mode I get same error message. i tried to boot up from xp cd, but the cd drive is not working. How can I get it to boot up? many thanks Bob
