My main computer where I do billing for our business has an issue again.
This happened a few months ago and it somehow fixed itself, and now it's happening again.
This is my FIL's computer, and I think it's running XPSP3.
I turn the computer on, intel e comes up and F10 and F2, then it goes to a page where it's stuck, it says
SATA Channel 1 Master Disk LBA ATA 100 80GB
underneath that it says
SATA Channel 1 Master Disk HDD S.M.A.R.T. capability....Disabled
and it's stuck there.
When this happened the last time I thought I pressed F11 to get to recovery mode where it would count down and then I was able to get in.
Any idea what the problem is or how to fix it?
I have my billing info backed up, but I need the main computer because the copier is hooked up to it.
Thanks!
