Just won a Fujitsu Siemens laptop with a bricked HDD.
Linux based partition tools were able to recognise that the "HDD is bad" - although it may have been occasionally poking its head above the parapet, because at one point the tools exited with a message that server edition wasn't supported. With a replacement HDD; the XP Pro install disk went through the motions all the way to the partition setup screen - then said no HDD was present. Since Linux based tools found the drive OK; I installed Fedora, that went without a hitch and everything seems to be working. The laptop is now capable of doing the job I wanted it for, but I'm used to Windows, and finding out what's preventing the install would make life easier. Thanks for any help. |
