Hi, I have a problem with my harddisc, as it gets stuck, totally out of nowhere.. When it happens the light indicating my HD, just lights constantly. It gets stuck at totally random, and it is NOT when I run a specific program etc. Sorry for my bad english, I'm from Norway, hehe:)
I'm a bit newbie at PC and BIOS's, but I have read that the problem could due to some setting in the BIOS. It has been a problem all along.
MY PC: acer aspire 6920g
Windows Vista 32 bit Intel Core 2 Duo (2.1 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 3 MB L2 cache)4GB DDR2320 GB HDDNvidia GeForce 9500M GS
I hope you have an answer:)
hm. I've checked in the BIOS, but I cant find the right setting to change. Could you please tell me what to change, and where?hm. I've checked in the BIOS, but I cant find the right setting to change. Could you please tell me what to change, and where?

This is a picture of a hard disk drive (HDD) that should be located inside of the computer case. There are two types of interfaces that are prevalent in today's PCs'. One is IDE and the other is SATA. The easiest way to tell the interface is to look at the cables connected to the HDD. If the cable is wide and flat with at lease 40 wires it is IDE. This is important because if you plan to use the internal HDD as an external storage device you have to purchase a device that converts this connection on the HDD to a USB connection. Unless you have an extremely large HDD it would be much easier to just purchase an external drive. Here is an example: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8167534&Sku=W10-8608
This indicates a motherboard issue, sub out the ram memory one at a time, test each as you go, if no change! The motherboard will need to be replaced, or the laptop.
i think your HDD doesn't work any more, this can be a problem in the HDD, i think the Disk stuck in his cage, (sorry, but me English is not that good ;).
maybe you can fix it by open it in a room without sunlights, UV can be fatal for hardware.
look carefully if it stucks, look at the little "ARM" that reads the disk by moving over it, it can be that this one press to hard on the disk and that the disk don't spin anymore.
otherwise there can be a lot more problems why it is stuck, hope it will work out for you, good luck.

Hello rijotomas,
First you can try to pull the battery out and unplug the power adapter for a minute. Then plug the laptop back in without the battery. Then try to turn it back on.
If you in fact formatted your HDD you need to take the drive to a drive recovery center or get the tools to hook the drive up to a working laptop/desktop and use recovery software like Ontrack Recovery Manager.
I replaced the radio with an aftermarket one and now my dash lights, power windows and my headllights have dont come on automataclly like they did before. my alarm on my remote dont work either, I think i did something to the alarm system, that is why they are not working.
hm. I've checked in the BIOS, but I cant find the right setting to change. Could you please tell me what to change, and where?
