Help??? Hello otacon your my last hope!! Well where to begin i was just playing around and accidently "unistalled" my primary hardrive on Device Manager, now when i try to restart it comes up PRIMARY HARD DRIVE 0 NOT FOUND. icant get to anything or get anywhere past that i have ran the diagnostics when push f12, and fail only my DTS Short test Message error reading :no hard drive found. I cant get anywhere with anyone on this please help, thatlaptop is my pen and paper for college!!! It is Dell latitude D600, i have windows xp

could be some solutions for this.

• hardrive is damaged and is not working. (no cheap solution)
• hardrive lost format, and it need to be formatted again.
• windows plug and play can't assign a drive letter.

this last option you can make it entering:
start > right click on my computer > Storage

then identify your hard drive (plug it and unplug it, Plug and play will show it,) then assign a different drive letter, and that's it. if it is not working try to format it from there, but be aware that if you format it, you are going to lost everything.
the only thing you can recover ir the hardrive as hardware. not the information.

hope the information helps.

god luck,

If you ran diagnostics with an empty cd/dvd drive you will get error code like this.

If means that cd/dvd drive was not able to find a good media.

If you are still getting an error even cd/dvd reads any media during the test, i would suggest to replace your hard drive.

Hope this helps.

If your hard drive is not being detected, try looking in the bios. I had a similar problem and for some reason the setting for using the hard drive as a bootable device had been changed.

Hello

This is a password setting that's been applied to this hard drive. It cannot be bypased as far as I have known. Maybe a hacker could get around it but it was designed not to allow this to happen. If you don't have the password you'll have to reformat the drive reinstall the operating system.

Good Luck

my wife has the same laptop and this fixed hers the problem began after we restored it to factory default.the problem is in the ide controller.go to device manager unistall the primary ide controller restart reinstall it restart again and all should be well also try uninstalling and reinstalling memory controllers,

Hi there,

• Unplug the printer cable from the computer.
• Unistall the printer drivers from Device manager and also unistall the all the printer appications
• restart the computer
• try to download drivers from the website
• after installing the cannon drivers and software it will ask you to connect the printer. 

• then you can connect the printer and print a test page.

Hope this help. Please Rate My Response! Thanks!

Common problem. CD driver did not install correctly.

Go to Device Manager. Unistall the CD drive. Reboot.

The Operating System will then rescan, locate the drive, and reinstall the driver.

Good luck.

Have you tried doing a restore from a previous day like the day before or somewhere close when you know you last had sound? or you may need to install drivers if you removed some. Try a restore to an earlier time then if that doesn't work come back here and post your speaker model and number I'll got into this further. Also might want to do a DXDIAG on your system and test the sound as well. to do this go into Start> Run type dxdiag press enter and let it do it's thing then goto sound at top and test and see if you hear anything if not u need drivers if you do may need to do restore also check your device manager and look for sound devices and check that they are ok and no ? marks by anything. If this helps you in any way please Rate thanks :) Good Luck Mike..

If you can go online, your network device is installed properly, or at least good enough.

NVIDIA drivers have an uninstall option, they never need to be deleted manually. If you need to install older drivers that may work better for an older game, the installation automatically removes your current drivers that are installed.

Test the CMOS BATTERY..TO MAKE SURE ITS GOOD IF NOT REPLACE.If it test good leave out for 5-10 minutes replace.motherboard bios should now beat default settings.reenter the bios.move cd to first boot.save changes.if you do not save changes it will not work.place.computer should now boot from disk.
