Hello,
I have a Dell Latitude d520 notebook. The Hard drive it came with was Toshiba sata 80gb.
One day it just failed. Turn the computer back on and it says no boot sector on internal hard drive. I brought a new drive, A Western digital SATA 500gb and i get the same message. I check the Bios and it clear identify the hard drive. I ran I through many different hard drive management programs including one from western Digital. All of them identify the drive and say it is healthy. I use Partition Magic to format the drive, Set it as active.
When I go to install xp it says No boot sector on internal Hard drive. Th cd would run and says, setup is inspecting hardware for configuration ...screen goes black and that is it. No blue screen Saying Windows Setup...nothing. It would freeze on the black screen. is there any way to fix this.
I have been at it now for almost a month. Help please.
Thanks in advance.
