    I turn on the computer and tries to load and it brings me to a screen telling me to hit f1 to try to reboot or f2 for settings. I went to f2 and looked at my bios and It said that it was not present.. I put my reinstall disk in my cd-rom drive and it told me it could not repair anything, it could not find a drive.. Does this mean that my hard drive is bad?

    Check the IDE or SATA cable to the hard drive to see if it came loose or went bad. Also check the power supply cable to the drive. Make sure the Bios is set to auto detect the drive.
