Re: Error: no boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed.

Well, I'm having the same problems, but now I need to throw another loop in here.

When I tried to boot up I also got the message: Error: no boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed. So, I ran the diagnostic and it told me: CPU test passed - Connection test failed - Error code is 3FO - Warning:Drive not detected - Memory test passed.

So, I replaced the existing hard drive with a brand new hard drive, fresh out of the box......the new hard drive wouldn't boot either, I got the same error message (Error: no boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed). So, I then ran the diagnostic on the new drive and it told me: CPU test passed - connection test passed - Boot test failed - Error code is: 3FO - Warning: boot sector corrupted/not found - Memory test passed.

What should I do? I thought of using a USB to SATA hard drive adapter and testing the old hard drive on my other desktop PC (I need the adapter because my other PC is old, but is an "old reliable", but doesn't use SATA. I haven't tried this test yet.

What should I do?
