Hi,
I am looking at a relatives computer,
amd athlon 64 3200+ 64 bit processer speed 2000, memory 2 gig.windows vista.

they said they shut it down wrong, but its more than that.
when i boot it up it says, select boot device or enter boot disc.
i tried all ways i know, using f1 f2 f8 f11 f12 delete tried windows vista disc,
but got no further, except in boot menu it says hard drive and cd drives are disabled, there is no option there to enable them.

any ideas thanks.
 
Check the cables connected to the hard drive and the CD drive. Reseat both the connections on the drives and the connection onto the ATA channel on the motherboard.
 
Also Enable hard drive + CD in bios,

also set the boot setup as hard drive then cd drive or vis versa.
 
hi thanks,
i reset all connections,
then took battery out and back in , which gave me other options but none worked,
the hard drive aand cd drives are disabled in bios ?it wont allow me to reset them.
then i got that the cmos has error?
