IDE #0 error

February 20th, 2005

Just as I was setting up my photo gear to photograph my beetles that my notebook computer suddenly had that infamous blue screen. Well, I experienced this many times before and the only way to do it was to disconnect the power cable and then the battery. Just did that and the next time that I turned it on, “IDE #0 error.”


Intel (R) Agent FE v4.1.09

PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent.
Insert system disk in drive.
Press any key when ready…

Press any key and the same problem. Fuck. Hard drive’s got a problem. A major problem. Hijo de puta!

The saddest part though is that I only backed up my RAW files before coming over to Cebu. Stupid! No backups for my website salagubang, my outlook PST, my beetle database and a host of other important files.

Really stupid me.

    steven, I checked this out with the Toshiba tech support and it was found that the hard disk got damaged. I replaced the drive.
