I have an acer aspire 8920 and it recently crashed.
I did alot of stupid stuff to fix it. It wouldnt boot so my friend had the genius idea he would install ubuntu over my existing windows vista for me and i didnt like it so i decided i would install windows again so i formatted my hd and now when i boot it it says no harddrive detected. SO i went into bios and it says "harddrive password frozen" So i researched that and i guess it means my hd is locked so i googled and they sayed if i reset my bios my hd wont be frozen and i can install an os onto it. So i took apart my laptop and dont know where the battery is and i dont really want to wreck it. Does anyone know where abouts it would be and what it looks like. Or if you could tell me what kind of mobo i have i could probably research it.
thanks in advance
