hello everyone,
hope this night finds everyone doing fine. i have a quick question. never had this problem before. my mother in law called with computer problems. it is a gateway that i built for her about 6 months ago. anyway, she said it eould not do nothing. so, i turned it on, and it would not boot up, a blue screen popped up, but can't remember what it said now. but, anyway, i could see that the hard drive was locked up. it was spinning, but it was like it was only spinning in one spot, no further. so, after further testing on my home pc, it was obvious the hard drive was gone. so, i went and bought a new 40 gig seagate and got it all formatted and ready to go, installed 2000 on it, and stuck it back in hers. now, when it boots up, you see the windows is starting sign, and before it goes anyfurther, a blue screen pops up, and says stop error, and says, inaccessible boot drive. is the board gone out? or maybe the master controller plug. like i said, never seen this one before. by the way, the hard drive works fine on my pc. someone please give me a hand here. thanks in advance for any help regarding this matter. have a good night. DALE
