Hello,
Created recovery disks when I bought HP 4 years ago. Today got a blue screen. F10 to setup, set CD as first boot option; enabled Boot Diagnostic. Does not boot from recovery disk...instead diagnostic says 'Detecting IDE drives..'. Sounds like hard drive problem? F8 does not work after many attempts. Now what? Thanks in advance.
