BIOS - All devices are disabled?
My friend brought over his laptop which he said does not work and when it boots it asks which device would he like to boot to. So i went into the bios and found the CDROM and HDD are disabled. The CDROM does not work and there is no power light going to it. Any ideas how i can get them both working again as there does not seem a way in the Bios to change them. Any help would be great Thanks The Laptop is XP SP2 Last edited by Herbal; 15-05-2009 at 13:27. |

You removed all the boot devices so there are no devices to enable and it's now working ?
