AARRRRGGHHH computer not booting

[tobi]

My computer has not been booting ever since 2 days ago
when i came back from vacation i booted my computer
i then ran disk cleanup and i opened firefox (sadly the internet connection was broken)
i then turned off the comp
and when i tried booting again it then displayed the following text on a black screen

drive not ready-system halted

any ideas on how to fix this? i tried google but the answers varied

[tobi]

please... need help
T-T
anyone?

your harddrive has crashed most probably.. get a new one.

Not really, with an harddisk crash it simply wont start, and you get no text.


Check your motherboard, and plug it into another pc. Then look for any "errors" inside of it, use regristry cleaners, MalwareBytes Anti Malwere and all you can find.

I think the disk not ready error is coming before even booting... so yep it should be the dead harddrive... see if your harddrive is responding on start up.. Vibrations... noise.. anything..

Or better yet, to troubleshoot, you could set everything to default, search for your harddrive, locate it, save and exit.. see what happens?

[tobi]

admin is kinda right
the message
drive not ready-system halted
comes before windows even get booted
and what are registry cleaners?
im not exactley sure how you do all this stuff,
any more detailed instructions?

Lol. I had a dead harddrive, was completely broken.

It doesnt give an error, it simply lets you watch a white underscore appearing and dissappearing


Search it online, possibly you need to reinstall windows.


Does it make sounds? If it makes an high, wierd sound then it might be broken .


If it seems to be searching, its good. (like usually)

If it makes no sound, its probably the motherboard.

[tobi]

im not really sure about the sounds
it sounds just a tiny bit louder then usual.
and i have searched online about the error
and none of them give a specific answer

Install harddisk in another PC

I think I know what it is.

THe HD Is NOT broken. Its most likely a fault in the BIOS.

Reset all BIOS defaults, its probably getting started up before its ready.
if thats not it, SLave it to a different PC and check it out.

If its broken, ittl click, make highsounds and go real wierd. And you dont get an error.


Use Windows Repair.
