Hi peeps,
Put this in here as need help and pc/computer side dont get many views ! lol
Bought a new dv7 laptop back in Feb, i7 spec. Anyway, last night it froze up and died... rebooted and told me that there was no hdd, insert bootable media..
So tried few things like repair and diagnostics built it to no avail.
The hdd is a 500gb samsung. Model - HM500JJ
Now, when the tech lads looked at the hdd at currys they could see the recovery partition and another small partition, they could see the main partition but could not access it... something to do with the master boot records being shot.
Does anyone know of a mbr fix that will work ? I have some info on there that I could do with accessing, after Ive got a copy I dont mind a full wipe.
Strangely enough, just before I got this laptop (dv7) ... my spare hdd in my old hp failed, which is also a samsung... 500gb... Model HM500LI ... Coincidence ??
Lastly, I want to get a 2tb nas drive..... whats the better ones out there for the least ££ :
Ty in advance peeps
