Hi could anyone give me a idea on my lappy. i have a acer aspire 5315 and for the life i me can not find my discs that it came with. i have a copy of win xp pro that i want to load onto it but when it get to the start of the disc partition screen it says there is no HDD and i have gone a bought a new HDD and when i boot up it says media cable fail or something.
has acer blocked the hdd from being reformated? if so how do i unblock it?
 
Did you install the hard drive after first attempting the install? Or did you
install the hard drive first?

Sounds like you may have not connected something right upon reassembly.?
