Drive is failed in OS. I was using my external and had shut it off because I did not need it at the time. When I turned it back on, my computer system (Windows XP) wouldn't read it and my password screen didn't come up.

• Thanks for your help. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!!

The computer was fine when we left in one evening. When we turned it on the next morning, the computer did not come up (just blinks). Then we turned it off and restarted. It came up with the message "Press F1". Once F1 was pressed, it came up with the same message "Press F1". That continued for few times. Then we had sent the computer to our IT department. They told us: BIOS: acknowledges Hard Drive. Dell IDE Diagnostics: Error reading drive. Knoppix: No Hard Drive found.

• Thank you for your efficient work in restoring our data.
