Try removing the RAM, one piece at a time, and try.

removing the ram... mite have to explain alil bit lol

[Macboatmaster]

Which full version. please.

Removing ram.
Go to that link I sent you and look at the guide there for ram.- under the tab - document user manual

Turn the laptop upside down so that the hinges of the screen are away from you at the top.
From that edge the access panel to the memory is the smaller compartment lid to towards the centre of that edge.

CAUTION - disconnect the battery FIRST.
DO NOT TOUCH THE connections or the components on the ram, only the edges of the stick of ram.
CAREFULLY look at the ram and you will likely see two clips, one either side, holding in the ram.
If you ONLY have one stick of ram - obviously you cannot do as suggested.
You will see if you have two, that one lies under the other, you will see the edge of the underneath stick if you look carefully.

ok nvm i tryed it again and it says goes then gets to welcome to setup.... then i have a choice to set up windows xp now press enter... to repair a windows xp installation using recovery console.... (which im guessing its not that one) and to quit... so i press enter..and says setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer.. and below that make sure any hard disk drives are powered on and properly connexted to your computer....

I saw that but thought that he may as well proceed with the ram, before checking to see if the drive is seen in BIOS.

ok so. i unscrewed the one you asked me to.. and i see this metal looking thing with the two black tabs that look like paper... do i take that thing out?

[ogodhelpme]

i took the other bigger one off and there was the other one with the two tabs on the same side... its called hatachi global storage technologies .... would that be the ram??? if so then thats the only thing i see.. its pretty big about the size of my palm..

[rshaffer61]

Can you take a picture of it and attach it to your next post please?

[ogodhelpme]

one more question... would this all be easyer if i just bought a new hard drive?
