Pavilion Elite HPE-210y: will not boot up.

[cachambliss]

On start msg "Scanning disks"  and a series of dots across the screen.  THEN:  Msg "No Arry Found"  "Press Crtl F"  then back to scanning disks...  Using PC Doctor can get to windows start screen, F9 Diagonitics everything checks good.  Local esperts have told me the power supply is bad, others have said the hard drive is bad, others have said the BIOS is corrupted.  Ideas?

Hi

Ideas yes, sensible help not likely.

Array would suggest a multiple disk setup or partition pairing or similar.

So is there a RAID?

Could you have a Dodgy Disk?

Is the CMOS/RTC battery defunct.

All in all your detailed description of the setup ,  isn't.

Replace CMOS Battery  No Change.

Replace Hard Drive:  It works.  slow so very slow but it works.  Thanks
