Having a problem so I'm looking for some help. I'm mostly computer illiterate so bear with me a bit please.
When I turn on my laptop it goes through a dell start-up screnn then a black screen pops up with:
internal hard drive not found
to resolve this issue try to reseat the drive
Naturally I tried to reseat the drive but with no luck. After looking around a bit I'm starting to think that the hdd is dead.
The comp is only about 9 months old or so, a dell inspiron 1545 if it makes a difference.
So I guess my first question is does my assumption seem correct?
Second question is as far as replacing the hard drive is there anything special I need to look for besides it being an internal hard drive?
Would something like this be ok
