Hi all
I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop which doesn't want to boot off its own HD. Just sits there with nothing on the display, no error messages nothing.
Strange thing is it will boot fine off a Linux CD, display the OS etc.
Looking in "Places" under Linux I see a drive labelled Data, but this is not accessible due to "unable to mount" messages.
Any help with diagnosis appreciated. If it was a hard drive failure I would be expecting "No boot device found" type messages when trying to boot from the device HD.
There may be stuff worth retrieving from the lappy, so I am reluctant to install Ubuntu as a test. The existing OS is Windows 7 Home Premium, but there is no media to attempt a repair install.
Thanks
Phil
