Ithink its a bit more serious than that as my computer will not boot the windows install when i turn it on.All it does is:1 shows pge where you can press tab to go to post screen or del to go to set up.
2 Then shows page that says "sata device not found primary"
"sata device not found secondary"
press ctrl and s to enter setup.(on doing this it takes you to a page about current created raid where you can enter raid setup utility.When you do this it says "not enough disk can be created Raid".)
3 After exiting from the above it shows a final screen with data on it about the pri master disk and ide channels etc at the bottom it says "updating ESCD...success
Verifying DMI pool data...........
Error loading operating system(flashing cursor).


It doesnt do anything after that and wont read any discs windows or drivers.I still have all my original discs.

Ive borrowed a friends laptop while its down and i cant find any answers on google. Hope you have some ideas.
