Error on Hard Disk 2 message
I have a 2 month old Dell Studio Mini that has been great up until a few weeks ago. My wife went to start the computer and got a black screen that said something like "Windows did not shut down properly the last time, Do you want to start in SafeMode?" When she got it started a tool bar was missing. When I got home i ran Norton DiskDoctor and immediately got this message: Error on Hard Disk 2, The Master Partition Table is Unreadable, The Master Partition Table is Physically Damaged, the only way to correct this is from a low level format. I ran Windows SystemRestore but when I ran DiskDoctor again I got the same message. It's under warranty so maybe I'll have to get with the Tech guys at Dell and let them figure it out. Just curious if any of you have had this problem and if so, how you resolved it. Thanks -- tipcom1 |
