Can't Install Hard Drive
I had to replace my defective hard drive. I installed one that had
been wiped clean by the previous user. As a result, when I attempted to use my HP Recovery CD, it produced the C: prompt but indicated that it was unable to detect a hard drive. I assume that means that the hard drive has to be formatted because when I checked the bios startup both the Primary and Secondary Slaves said "None." Does that mean that I have to Format the drive before the drive is recognized? Also, is there any way around the use of a boot up floppy? Unfortunately, I do not have one, and my second computer does not have a floppy drive. |
