Has the laptop be dropped or suffered some kind of physical jarring before this happen? This message usually means the hard drive has died or is in a state of failure that won't allow the computer to access it normally.

The first, and free, fix you should try is opening the hard drive compartment, remove the drive, then put it back in. While you've got it out, take note of the drive manufacturer's name.

If resteating it doesn't work, download the drive manufacturer's diagnostic tool. You can find links to the various manufacture's tools here:

Run the tool and see what it SAYS of the drive. No one better than the manufacturer to tell you if the drive is screwed or not. Try those things and if neither GIVES a clear answer, we'll try looking at some other steps.



Do you want it to beep three times?
