My pc cannot start. It says primary master HDD error. There is a message "Primary Master Hard Disk C: A1M.1510 QUANUUM10901 ! ! ! !
Then it asked me to run setup utility and press F1 to resume. After pressing the F1 key I get the message DRIVE NOT READY
Insert boot diskette in A:
Press any key to continueAny idea? Can I save my documents?
Howdy, Well do ya have a boot disk? If not get one. You can boot from the A: drive and might be able to access the C: drive and get at you're data files but who knows. If you aren't sure about any of this take it to a tech, it might not be the hard drive. It could be the motherboard or a bad IDE cable. Another hard problem to diag via the net.
Laters,

Thanks for the tips but I finally figured out. Just have to go to bios and detect my primary master and save the configuration.

When I go to print, my computer says disk error (-39) and it will not print. Do you know what the problem is?

Hi, I downloaded netscape 4.7 and when i tried to open and put on hard drive, I got the #39 error. What is it and what can i do about it?

doesn't say primary master hard drive error. It just says C drive error. Is C drive error the same as primary master hard drive error?

I have a problem like this. Is opening of an hard disk always the end of the disk?
Where can I buy affordable (2nd hand) hard disks?

I have a similar problem to the original - although - when I enter the Bios setup and select autodetect for IDE Devices it doesnt find the master - I've checked the cables etc.. and am assuming the HDD is broke !- is there a sure fire way of checking before I bin it and try a new one
