Hi, Well first of all, about 6 months ago i noticed that my cd/dvd drives werent
reading anything. When i try to insert any disk it will remain in the drive for about
30 seconds then pop out. Also, When i start my computer a black screen listing primary,secondary
slaves and master's comes up saying that the hardware monitor has encountered an
error please enter power menu for details .telling me i have the following options
" press f1 to continue or press f2 to enter setup" i press f2 i went to f2 and entered
what i think is called the bios? i rearraged some things but still the same things
happen. I think this screen has something to do with the drives not reading anything
my computer is running on windows xp home,service pack 1 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU
1.70GHz 1.71 GHz and 256 MB of RAM its a sony vaio. My dvd and cd drives are named
HL -DT -ST DVD -ROM GDR8160B
LITE -ON LTR -24102B i do not have all the recovery cd's including disk 1.. also
from startup i cannot get to the reformat screen pressing f10 because the bios screen
comes up immediately,is there anything i could try? PLEASE HELP!
