just when i really need my lappy...
tuning away merrily,nice warm day,warm car,my lappy went to blue screen of death,i thought it was getting hot so turned it off for a bit.
it re-started after 1/2 hour then stopped again,now it says "primary hard disc drive not found".
i need it working as i have SVA retest soon,any ideas?


its a dell btw

Sounds like a shagged hard drive

Not good - you probably need a new hard drive and O/S install
