When I start the PC i receive the message "Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter".
1.I try to reinstal the opperating system, but I can't see my HDD to format/instal.
2.I put the HDD to another PC (as secondary), but the opperating system can't see the HDD.
3. In bios, the HDD is detected.

Is there any possibility to repair the HDD. Any utilites?

The HDD is MAXTOR 80GB 7200, 8MB cache, ATA

Best Regards,
AF

Is HDD seen correctly in BIOS?

(i.e. Proper model number)

What does MHDD make of it?

Does it ID and scan OK?

MHDD won't work (I can see only half letters from every row), but i resolved the problem with SeaToolsDOS from Maxtor.com

I can't remember if the model name shown before was the same...
