I recently bought a new p4 computer, its about 3 months
old, and a laptop. The other day, I left it to idle for a
while and it went into hibernation/power saving mode. I
rebooted, thinking it was on Mains power and it said
battery power critical and I realised I was still on
battery power and tried to shut down. Next reboot it
couldn't find the HDD. Primary HDD not found - was the
message, even when connected to mains power. If anyone has
any knowledge of how to fix this please email me. I dont
know if I can download something for a boot disk or what.
My model is a Dell Inspiron 8200, and I wonder if it could
have more to do with the HDD than the OS. Im kind of new
to all this. Thankyou.
