@ zimdrill,


i'm working on a toshiba tectra A6 model motherboard, the problem was that it wouldn't power up so i changed some ICs(integrated circuits) that were affected; the board now boots but stopped and started asking for a bios password that wasn't configured, i have tried almost everything i know about re-setting bios password on other lappies but they didn't work. for instance, i removed the CMOS battery for 48hrs but it didn't work.

i made some research and discovered some chips on the board which is responsible for holding the BIOS 'history'/record,
my challenge now is how do i 'short' the chip to clear the BIOS?

going! going! going!,

okay, thanks for simplifying it, i just did that to the compaq now and it's now running on windows7, had initially used sata external connector to connect it to a second lappy and copy all the data then format. i removed it to it's own lappy , win xp still would not load on it so i tried windows7 and it worked.

@ zimdrill,
thanks for your contributions but i know exactly what i'm saying about using win98se to format hard drives that would not be formatted using winxp, win7 and vista, simply due to bad sectors on the drive which cannot be restored by running fdisk, there are situations in which hard disk cannot be formatted even when you used original windows xp or higher ones regardless of whether the corrupted OS is the same with the one you are using to try reformatting. when this happens, win98se has proved invaluable in forcing the hard disk to be formatted, load win98se and then you can upgrade to any of the desired OS.

we use this backdoor method with any hard disk that has too many bad sector for other windows bootable cd to remove. win98se will remove those bad sectors and formatt the disk and allow you to load windows98se, thereafter, you can upgrade.

thanks again zimdrill,

no the OS is not win98 but you can force a format on a hard disk that has refused to be formatted with any of the higher OSes and then upgrade from there to any of the higher ones, provided that the HDD is still good.

ill try and slave it. thanks.

we are still here and active

@ zimdrill, thanks for the link, will go tru it.


i again need help here with a compaq notebook that the hard disk failed diagnostics test carried out on from the BIOS. i performed the test because i couldn't repair nor format the drive. i concluded that the hard disk is crashed because of the test result. is there anything i can do to revive the hard disk?

Note that i have tried reformatting with windows98 bootable disk with the same result.

If the hard disk is confirmed crashed, what other method can i use to retrieve the data on the disk apart from using easyrecovery software?

I still want to try to slave the disk on another laptop if i would have access to the data.
