Diodorus Siculus 06:57 24 Jan 07 Sounds like the hard disk has failed.When you boot with the XP CD, you should get the option to do a repair install. Is that possible?I think it would be a good idea to get a new hard disk, install XP onto it and use the current one as a slave drive. Taht way you may be able to save your data.When the PC is boo

Primary Master Hard Disk Error Windows 7
Starter Joined: Feb 17, 2002 Messages: 116 I went out of town for 3 days and secondary master hard disk error press f1 to resume came back and the pc was stuck on the message: primary master hard disk fail I asked the wife and kids if they did primary master hard disk error dell anything strange and the answer is NO. I tried and tried with boot disks and rescue and recovery disks to get this to work but to no avail. Then I un plugged the machine and started it up, did this a http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/forum/helproom-1/primary-master-hard-disk-error-273365/ few times, at it finally cycled through. I ran a virus check , scan disk and nothing showed up. It froze last night and the same thing happened. This morning, I powered it off and on several times, each time unplugging it and I kept getting this master hard disk fail....I finally got it to open. I'm running windows 98 and am not sure if this is WORM related or something else???? ANY IDEAS???? Help.....Its homework season and dont want to https://forums.techguy.org/threads/solved-primary-master-hard-disk-fail.155603/ buy a new machine, just yet ron derenzo, Aug 14, 2003 #1 Sponsor raybro Joined: Apr 26, 2003 Messages: 5,834 First thing to try. Go to the hard drive mfr's site and download their utilities and test your drive. If it shows up bad, you don't need to buy a new computer... just a new hard drive. Saving all your data may be another question altogether. There are a couple of things to try, but first you need to determine just what the problem is. It sounds like the drive is dying, but lets be sure before doing anything else. For the time being, don't have your PC powered up unless you have a real need to do so. Other info needed: Do you have another PC available? Do you have a CD burner? raybro, Aug 14, 2003 #2 ron derenzo Thread Starter Joined: Feb 17, 2002 Messages: 116 A few followups: I do have a cd burner and an older laptop. I had also installed an additional drive in this machine a while back and NEVER used it. Maybe I can switch to that, its newer. How does one do that>? How do I make the newer drive the main drive and the older drive the secondary? Is that an easy thing to do??? A real novice here....

It was working just fine last night and nothing looked weird when it was shutting down. I came back from work not too long ago and turned on the computer and I was stuck hard disk at the very first screen with all the following displayed: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AMIBIOS (C) 2005 American Megatrends, Inc.

Now when booting my Window 7 pc I get the message of "Primary Master Hard Disk Error" that is followed with Press F1 to resume. After I do this the pc will boot. I've ruled out a physical hard drive error and now I'm at a dead end. Could this be something in the BIOS settings? Is there something missing within the Windows boot record - although I don't think this is the problem since the machine ultimately does boot.I'm open to any/all suggestions to keep from pulling my hair out trying to figure this out.
