ItsMeAgain Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) Heyy. My acer aspire 5315 series froze and i had too turn it off. Nothing would work. I tried too turn it back on and it starts too load but then go's black i tried putting in a cd i got with it but it done nothing.

Jelly Bean Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Hello and welcome. Have you tried restarting the laptop and repeatedly tap F8 and choose last known good config or safe mode? Do either of these work? Have you tried booting into recovery console with command prompt using the disk and run chkdsk /r ? Have you tried enetering BIOS/Setup and see if the hard drive is listed?

ItsMeAgain Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 Hey. When i turn it off then on i just tried the F8 thing it doesnt do anything it just automatically go's onto a black screen and fires lots of letters at me. Saying the same thing over and over . Quote
Jelly Bean Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 If you chose safe mode it does do that give it a chance to load. Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................
ItsMeAgain Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 its not safe mode it says alot of stuff then at the bottom No bootable device -- Insert boot disk and press any key what does that mean? x Quote
Jelly Bean Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 It means your hard drive is possibly dead but unless you try the other things in the list and let me know we cannot determin at this moment in time what the issue is.Possibly CD/DVD rom issue. Did you set first boot device to CD/DVD rom pop in the disk,save and exit? Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................
ItsMeAgain Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 when i turn it off then back on it just automatically comes up with the Acer screen and hit f2 at the bottom then preparing too boot to OS it doesnt give me an option too go too safe mode or anything just the black screen with the no bootable device thing then says it over and over theres nothing i can do apart from hit F2 at the start.

Jelly Bean Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Ok have you tried restarting and repeatedly tapping ALT+F10 at start up for recovery console. I edited my last post to. Restart the laptop. It should say on black sreen "Press ? to enter setup" ? could be F1,F2,Del or another.Please enter setup and see if your hard drive is listed please. Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................
ItsMeAgain Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 I just tried the Alt F10 thing that didn't do anything. Also the hit F2 thing is on the acer screen i hit F2 and it doesnt allow me too type anything. Quote
Jelly Bean Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 So are you saying you cannot enter setup? I have a feeling your hard drive is dead and needs replacing. The alt + F10 may need you to restart and repeatedly tap them at same time.It may take a few restarts as Acer are buggy machines. Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................
ItsMeAgain Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 i just tried too restart and f10 thing it just won't allow it its ever since i put a cd in its just not allowing anything. Quote
Jelly Bean Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Remove the CD first. Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................
Jelly Bean Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Ok can you look under boot tab or boot order is your hard drive listed? If it is listed is it set first boot hard drive second boot CD/DVD rom? Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................
ItsMeAgain Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 it says Boot Priority Order: 1. IDE 0: TOSHIBA MK8046GSX 2: IDE 1: PIONEER DVD-RW DURKD08RS 3: USB FDD: 4: Network Boot: MBA v10.0.9 Slot 0500 5. USB HDD 6: USB CDROM: Quote
Jelly Bean Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Ok that looks ok,now set the CD/DVD rom to first boot device and the hard drive to second boot device using your arrow keys. Now put in the install disk or recovery disk you have and save and exit and hopefully follow onscreen instructions. Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................
ItsMeAgain Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 What is my hard-drive under which one would it be?? Quote
ItsMeAgain Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 And i got 3 cds with it one which says Drivers disk on it and Acer back up dvd bootable with a number 1 on it and then acer back up dvd with 2 on it Quote
Jelly Bean Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 1. IDE 0: TOSHIBA MK8046GSX= hard drive 2: IDE 1: PIONEER DVD-RW DURKD08RS = CD/DVD Try the backup bootable. Quote Rwy'n ceisio fy ngorau......................
