Hi all, I have 2 x HP 2510p laptops, 3 x 1.8inch ZIF HDDs and 3 x ribbon connectors. I thought I had multiple HDD failure because of "Non-system disk/error" message but tested the disks with a USB external enclosure and all are fine.
I've swapped around the ribbon connectors just in case but no change. I am able to boot up using one of the disks via USB. Not sure if I would be able to flash the BIOS while booted from USB HDD? The HP files are quite old and not clear if I can flash bios with a USB pen drive.
Can BIOS versions corrupt and prevent disk access? The BIOS settings for anything HDD related are greyed out. It's odd that the same thing happens on both laptops...thx
