It was a swap from one laptop to another both had operating systems installed. One just had failed ram so swapped the hard drive out

Hi I have two laptops both of which worked fine but one has a memory issue so swapped the hard drives over but now it is saying no operating system on the hard disk. Any advice?

Thanks Ken, I will see what my IT department has

Hi Ken Have tried all of the above I’m afraid. Unit only has one stick of RAM is it possible that this is faulty and causing the issue?

Any ideas what the fault could be: HP 15-ac151sa When turned on you can hear the fan spin etc but it does not appear to boot, screen stays blank and the caps lock key continually flashes.

Thanks Ken, issue has now been resolved.

Ok i will try it connected to another pc tonight. Unfortunately it is only windows xp pro. But still i will give it a try thanks for your help with this (fingers crossed)

Ok so from my understanding i should connect my hard drive to another pc, set it as the slave drive and then reset the password via the command prompt method from that master hard drive. Does this sound correct?? thank you

Hi Ken, Im afraid I did not I have tried using the command prompt through my sons limited account but it just pings back an error 5 message and will not allow a password change. I have also tried pressing ctl-alt-del twice but the administrator password is not the default blank one. I think this may have been changed in the shop where I had the pc built, which has since closed down :(

Can anybody help, I have tried to start my old pc to get hold of some information and pics from it. But i have forgotten my password and am unable to log in. It is unfortunately also the administrator account. Is it possible to do this without losing anything on the hard drive??

hi just a quick one (i hope) i have just been given an extra modem/router. i have plugged it into a spare phone socket in my sons room so he can play his xbox online. but when both modems are running i can not get the home pc and/or the xbox to connect. Is this because there are 2 modems in one line or is there a simple way around this????

hi i am trying to connect an o2 dongle but i think the acer enet is knocking it out can this be turned off???

all resolved thanks everyone for your time
