If you are getting a hard drive detection error message then one of 2 things have happened ether the master boot record on the hard drive got corrupted or the drive has gone bad. The link below will take you through formatting the drive with your computer. If this does not fix the problem then you will need to replace the hard drive.

Click the Tools tab , and then , under Error-checking , click Check . Administrator permission required If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation , type the password or provide confirmation .
To automatically fix problems with files and folders that the scan detects , select Automatically fix file system errors . Otherwise , the disk check will report problems but not solve .
To run a full disk check , select Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors . This scan attempts to find and repair physical errors on the same hard disk and may need more time to complete .

My HP 4710s had a weird message that pops up after the logo screen. Then it says non disk or disk error strike any key to continue...I do that and the same message pops up...plz help.

the HP cannot boot up because it cannot find the hard disk to boot up from.
You could have a faulty hard drive or the hard drive needs re-seating.
If the HP still does not boot up after re-seating the hard drive go into the BIOS setting and see if the hard disk is detected. If not the most likely the hard disk is faulty.
To get the laptop working again. replace the hard disk, install Windows on the new hard disk plus the HP Laptop's device drivers and your programs.

My dell 8400 displayed this error message 00f0: 136c and 00f0: 0242 What can I do. Thanks

This message is likely to be due to a segment error on your hard drive.

Checking /correcting disk errors
You can use the Error-checking tool to check for file system errors and bad sectors on your hard disk Open My Computer and then select the local disk you want to check.
  1. On the File menu, click Properties.
  2. On the Tools tab, under Error-checking, click Check Now.
  3. Under Check disk options, select the Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors check box.

To open My Computer, click Start, and then click My Computer.
  • All files must be closed for this process to run. If the volume (drive) is currently in use, a message box will appear prompting you to indicate whether or not you want to reschedule the disk checking for the next time you restart your system. Then, the next time you restart your system, disk checking will run. Your volume will not be available to perform other tasks while this process is running.
  • If your volume is formatted as NTFS Windows automatically logs all file transactions, replaces bad clusters, and stores copies of key information for all files on the NTFS volume.

System Restore

It seems that your computer is not booting from DVD-ROM drive nor hard disk, but is trying to establish a network setup of the operating system.

You have to go to BIOS settings and correct these preferences by making your hard disk the first boot device. Of course that would be a solution if you have operating system installed on it. If there is no operating system installed on the hard disk, you will need to install it. In this case, your first boo device would DVD-ROM or CD-ROM, whichever available.
