My dell seems to be completely broken can i fix it?

Question

when i turn it on it makes this high pitch noise and the dell loading screen it says primary drive not found. So i hit ctrl alt delete reboot and then go to boot menu nothing works there. I go to my BIOS and look around but there doesn;t seem to be anything i can do. I can't hit f8 and do a system restore either. So how can i fix my baby? Or do i have bury my child?

Answer 1

probably need to replace the hard drive... if the high pitch sound goes away with disconnection of the current one.

Answer 2

im sorry man, sounds like your gonna have to bury it

primary drive = hard drive

primary drive not found = hard drive dead

hard drive dead = buy a new hard drive and put a new operating system on it but unfortuantatly youve lost everything

Answer 3

you don't need to get rid of it....just buy a new hard-drive of Dell and set it up probably with driver's and utilities and operating system and all that jazz !

Answer 4

Hard drive is not detected. We can try to reseat the hard drive and check if its working. Also we need to checkup if the noise exists if the system is turned on without the hard drive. Call Tech Support for more assistance
