Command Failure https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/a215m-primary-master-hard-disk-s-m-a-r-t-command-failure/m-p/154997#M83658 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I had left a DVD in the optical drive the night before, however, this has not caused any problems in the past. Today I turned on the computer, it came to the password page (to enter windows), then I left it, went to the toilet, came back and there was some kind of message screen that had popped up saying something about rebooting.<BR /><BR />I have since tried several times to start the computer and shut it down through BIOS, but consistently fail to get into windows.<BR /><BR />Sometimes the message on the screen says ´´Reboot and select proper boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key´´<BR />I am not really sure what this means or what I should insert or select.<BR /><BR />Other times, I receive a full screen page saying among other things<BR />´´Pri Master: MO3OAD1A IC25N060ATMR04-0<BR />Ultra DMA Mode-5, S.M.A.R.T. Capable but Command Failed<BR /><BR />Pri Master Hard Disk: S.M.A.R.T. Command Failed´´<BR /><BR />Then it asks me to press F2 to continue.<BR /><BR />Sincerely hoping this situation (and the data on my computer) is retrievable, stuck in Northern Brazil... which is not too bad, but really need this computer up and running.<BR /><BR />Any advice/solutions greatly appreciated.<BR />Many thanks<BR />Bomba<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 10 Jan 2007 18:29:55 GMT https://community.sony.ba/t5/pcs-accessories/a215m-primary-master-hard-disk-s-m-a-r-t-command-failure/m-p/154997#M83658 samthoma0 2007-01-10T18:29:55Z Re: A215M - Primary Master Hard Disk: S.M.A.R.T.
