Have had a message on screen - Pri Master Hard Disk:S.M.A.R.T. Status Bad, Backup and replace. So I bought a new hard disk and replaced it. At first laptop didn't recognized it - so I flashed BIOS - it did then. When I tried to boot from Windows XP installation DVD message appears: message one - Reboot and Select Boot device or insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key. Message two - if I managed somehow to start Windows installation - Blue screen and text saying that Windows have encountered a fatal error and to prevent computer from damage needs to be shut down.
What I have done: Flashed BIOS; Reinstalled DVD/CD ROM, Reinstalled several times hard disk with removing battery and without; Disabled/Enabled in BIOS option boot from network and other device.
Now I am completely lost and don't know where to look for problem. Please Help
I have changed original Samsung HM080JI 80GB hard drive to Fujitsu Siemens MHZ2120BH 120GB hard disk drive. Both are SATA.
