Primary Hard Disk Error Press F1 To Resume
your friend's computer has a problem.

It's the computer's equivalent of saying "something's broken" without really telling you what that something is. "If you're not comfortable opening up your machine and poking around a little, this would be the time to take it to a technician for diagnosis." If you're not comfortable opening up your machine and poking around a little, this would be the time to take it to a technician for diagnosis. As we'll see in a moment, the problem could be any of several different issues, and they'll need to see the machine to determine what it is. In your shoes, the first thing I would do down "the try-it-yourself path" would be to turn off the machine, unplug it, wait a while, and then plug it back in and try again.

After I did that, I once again got to the "Reboot and select proper Boot device" screen and the next screen was just the "_" (the prompt?) going down line after line indefinitely. I re-started the computer again and was stuck at "Auto-Detecting Sec Slave" while I hear something in the tower that literally
