So I have a computer from the Stone Age (a gateway computer from 2001 that runs Windows
ME). I was working today on trying to speed it up by doing a number of different
things. I was about to run my computer in safe mode, but when I restarted my computer
to try to get it into safe mode, I didn't remember how. I pressed the wrong thing
and ended up in the "BIOS Setup Utility." I am smart enough to know not to mess with
anything in the BIOS, but when I existed from it all I got was a blank black screen
with a blinking cursor. I restarted the computer and I got the following message:
"The Hard drive was not found. Consult the Trouble Shooting section of your user'
manual, etc."
Now I don't know if I accidentally did something when in the Bios Setup Utility or
if my computer coincidently decided to die on me. The computer freezes all the time
and gives me all sorts of problems. Should I go the Bios Setup Utility and hit "Load
Setup Defaults" and see what happens??? Would doing that at least allow me to figure
out if the problem really lies in the BIOS? Would doing that erase my hard drive
or will everything be okay?
Please help me... I have some files I want to get off of my computer.
