Somewhat annoyed
Jan. 26th, 2007 10:57 amMy laptop fell off my lap no more that two feet to the ground. I picked it up and it was fine, then a couple of minutes later it blue screened and restarted. On restarting it was unable to find the boot device and consequently unable to find either of the Operating Systems.
I restarted it a couple of times (including after going into the BIOS and telling it to do a diagnostic start up) and I get the same error each time.
I'm attempting to contact the guy who does our IT at work who ought to be able to have a look at it for me, but in the meantime I'm internet-less at home. I need to do the pay run early next week.
I believe this is something fixable, I can't believe a drop of less than 2' would be enough to break the machine entirely.
Edit
It's fine. Too much panic and too little observation. Something on the right hand side moved slightly out of place (I think this bit is supposed to move). When moved back into place the machine found the boot device it was looking for and all is now well.
