Start of error message:

Drive 1 not found: Serial ATA, SATA-1 Intel (r) Application
Accelerator Raid Option ROM V41006211

For my father's computer, a Dell 8400 with Windows XP, I need very
detailed resolution to change the BIOS so that the hard drive will be
recognized.

I saw it can be solved (see
http://www.dellcommunity.com/support... r&cs=&s=gen).

The problem is that my father is across the pond, 88 years old and
speaks no English. I have to guide him but unfortunately, I have an
older Dell with a different setup menu.

Your help is appreciated.

but i agree with tom. run diagnostics on the drive. bios updates address
specific problems typically with adding new hardware. a machine that has
had no recent changes should not just stop working becuase of a bios
problem.

Heck with solving it. Since your dad is 88 yrs. old, why not buy him
a new laptop or pc and let him experience new tech.

OTOH, if it worked ok before, why will a bios setting change anything
unless someone messed with the settings. Have you considered a drive
going bad? They can go bad at any time. But be nice and get your
dad a new laptop or pc. At 88 he deserves it NOW !

My best guess is that the 7B stop code was caused by a failing drive with some
bad sectors. The typical scenario here for 7B and similar codes is that the
system starts booting, displays the Windows splash screen then runs into
difficulty resulting in the blue screen.

I would run manufacturer's (or even Dell's) hardware diagnostics on the drive
before taking any other action. Since your father is across the pond, you
probably need to find somebody to do diagnostic and repair for him, or, as
another response suggested, replace the computer... Ben Myers
