Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
hello everyone,
I have a compaq nc6230 that was working fine over the years and suddenly when the power button is pressed, the unit powers on and displays the HP splash screen for about 30 seconds, then I get a Non system disk or disk error. The unit then shuts off its self.
I have swapped known working RAM and Hard drive with same results.
Also, when I enter in setup the hard drive diagnostic option is grayed out ( with or without hard drive installed ).
Anyone with similar problems or had previous experience with this error please feel free share your insight into this matter.
thank you all very much!

yeah qhn is right try to boot with the cd that came with your laptop.....it might be that some windows files are corrupted.........also try to this
1.remove battery
2.hold power button (30 sec.)
3.remove ram
4.remove hard drive
then wait 1 min-2min
an assemble the laptop back..............worth a try
if none works your hard drive may be due to mechanical failure or dust particles.....that got into the hard drive very unlikely.........
